Obtaining recovery Vista Media or use the computer for well Vista recovery Partition it back to factory settings...
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.
There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

I woke up this morning my computer starts before a pretty bad storm. I fear something my have been struck by lightning, but I do not know? When I booted up... Windows appeared to be normal... but all my icons are huge, with all the rest... seems to work very well with the internet, etc. I have change the size in pixels and it seemed to normal size, but somethings just not good.

It could be that your video driver has been reset to some VGA default, rather than the specific card in your system. Check the properties of the display to see if it is correct for your telephone. (Right click on the desktop, properties, settings). You should see the screen and display adapter listed.
Unlikely, but you can also visit Accessiblility (display) settings in the control panel to make sure that none of those who have been changed.

Firefox tabs have been changed
After starting my computer this morning, I found all my Firefox tabs had been removed, bing was now my search engine, and several other custom settings have been changed. The only known change performed the last time the computer was installed in "Smilebox". Also, at the start, I was not called to provide my password. I did a reboot and the password is required. Anything to worry about?

This request is to blame. Click on details of the issue next to your message, and then click System Details more. Note the values of the browser.newtab.url and keywords. URL which contain the smilebox.com. Setup was probably an option you should've unchecked, hidden under a button "Advanced" that you have not clicked.
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
- To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!

Fields on several Internet sites have been changed in another language. The browser is set to English, and this problem does not occur with Chrome. Specifically, a large part of Tumblr and Facebook menu has been changed in another language (Russian, I think). I tried reinstall Firefox, clear the cache and reset firefox to its default state. None of them helped. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Hey again,
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .
I hope this helps!

File names have been changed to the GUID
Yesterday, three different actions on our servers had their folder names, replaced by what looks like GUID / their subfolders are unchanged and the files are in tact. Only root in sharing folders have been changed. Windows Server 2008.
Other than manually, how can I get back them?
Hi John,.
It is usually the cause of these cryptographic records when there is an update. But nothing to worry because they do not affect the actual content of your files.
We suggest that you try to rename them manually.
Kind regards

Password error cannot have been changed to my Windows password
I just change my Windows password. At the end of the process, I got a pop-up message that maybe encountered a problem and my password may NOT have been changed. I received an e-mail in Outlook that my password has been changed, etc, etc, etc.
My concern is if I let Windows and that I'll be able to recover using my old password or my other? If not, where should I go for Windows help if I can't get into Windows?
Original title: change password
Hi Denny,
If the computer has a different user account which is administrator, you can still use the other account to reset the password of the account of the Moose (administrators can force change other user passwords).
If you are the only user of the computer, I always recommend that you create an account additional administrator on the computer that can be used for recovery or emergency situations. This must be a local account that is not connected to a service account or by email online. For example, on my computer I log in with my Email account, but there is also a "shawn administrator" account on the computer that has a simple password. I've never used this account, but it's there if I need it.
So if you are involved (or even if you're not), I would create a local account on the computer as an admin full. You're not likely to need it, but if you do, this will prevent you from becoming locked.

Mix only the properties that have been changed
Hi all
Is it possible, form where we can identify the properties that have been changed in the source in the past 24 hours and use them only to the mix?
You can mix changes, but there is no filter option to specify the specific date and time.
Go to definition of Blender and select the difference as the value for the Mode property of propagation,
If your Source is another manual entry of the user in DRM, you can think to filter the changes there and then deal with the DRM.

Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon. If you click the icon it opens adobe reader. I deleted Adobe reader using Add or remove programs and the icons back to normal. Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.
Hi imoorthy,
