my computer is a vista but it says xp home edition, how do I reinstall vista
my computer has programs in vista on it, but the screen says xp home edition when I connect
Hello
What Vista programs?
Third party programs are not related to a particular operating system.
And if you have XP installed, you must have installed XP.
To reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

The program has disappeared from my program list. The only thing he is an empty folder of Mozilla. I tried to re install several times but can not get fire fox for running or even provide an icon to launch it.
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
See:
Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if this will install Firefox properly.

I signed up for Apple music and since then I can't synchronize playlists from my computer to my phone because it says I have iTunes game turned on, but I do not subscribe to iTunes recently Match (ish). How to make this stop?
Hello
You cannot synchronize in usb or wifi if you subscribe to the Apple's music. The basic principle of the AM is that your iTunes library is scanned to determine what can be matched or must be downloaded. Once completed, all the music you will be available to listen to or download on your iOS device.

I am running XP Home Edition SP3 and just received my photo of my football photos drive two sons. The photos are burned on a DVD-R. This disc opens on another laptop running Vista but not on my own XP parents. I can open any other CD, DVD, CD - R, CD + R, DVD - Rr, DVD + R, but not this one. It gives me just this error message; Windows cannot read this disk. The disc's might be corrupted or it could be in a form that is not compatible with windows. I know that this disk is not corrupted, because I have it open on his laptop, but not on a XP computer. Thanks for any help!
Any help out there?
