• Dell Inspiron 1501 won't charge in front of the Welcome screen to Windows using Vista Home Basic Edition

  I just restored back to factory settings and it was working fine until I loaded Windows live messenger, Microsoft Security Essentials and Sony Picture Utility. After that he stopped begin again, so it can be used only in safe mode. I downloaded all the drivers and updates available on the dell site. Any suggestions welcome please!

  If you did a restore to the factory settings and you still have problems, there may be another problem that caused the problem in the 1st place.

  Uninstall programs > reload one at a time > find the problem.

  And look to see if a trial anti-virus came with the Dell recovery process.
  You must have AN antivirus installed; otherwise it may CRASH.

  For Startup Repair Help, make a record of Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• I have Vista Home Basic. Can I delete old updates? It takes up most of my 80 GB hard drive, my laptop is 5 years old.

  My Toshiba laptop is 5 years old and has a ton of updates.  He has SP2 on board.  I have a 80 GB hard drive, and these updates take almost 40 GB of it.  Can I remove or clean up some of these updates?

  Susan,

  There is no such thing as 'old' updates. They are there to protect against a vulnerability or to provide updates to the o/s.

  The purpose of take away their defeats being there.

  If you need more space, you must put in a bigger hard drive. Or get an external hard drive and put your data on it.

  The cost of discs is extremely low at the moment.

• I can't update my definitions of virus for Windows Defender (Vista Home Basic)

  In addition, I am unable to connect with smilebox.  It seems that these programs need to connect to internet using something other than a browser because my internet connection is fine, but these programs cannot access the internet in order to work properly.

  I was also unable to download/install McAfee until I did it in safe mode with network.  I could also sign in smilebox in SafeMode with networking, but when I went back to normal mode, I could not signed.

  Hi suzeenole,

  I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files.  You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files.  To do this, follow these steps:

  • 1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  2. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  In addition, you can also try several options in the section below on troubleshooting installation problems.

• I had to reinstall Vista Home premium and now printing is so great that it seems I am in safe mode. How can I fix it

  changing the size of the print

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  Then proceed as follows:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

• Update Vista Home Basic to Premium Edition Office to allow access by laptop running Windows 7

  Could someone please advise if I have Vista Home basic desktop Home Premium so I can use laptop running preloaded Windows 7 Office Access? I saw advice that W7 can only comm if Office Home basic is updated! If PORTABLE PERFORMER pre-installed w7 MAY ACCESS DESKTOP. Is this possible and how?

  You can move from Home Basic to Home Premium, but Microsoft sells more than Vista.  You need to find a copy of retail, Vista Home Premium (not OEM) somewhere like eBay.  You can use either a copy of the upgrade or full license to do the upgrade.  eHow has an article on the actual upgrade process.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_6297506_upgrade-Vista-Home-Basic-Premium.html

  The article mentions that you need some version of upgrade, but they speak the old Anytime Upgrade which is no longer available.  Ignore this.

• downgrade from windows 7 to vista home basic. Oh hp laptop

  I bought the computer hp laptop dv5 recently the config. is 3 GB of ram, 250 GB HDD, processor turion, ati radeon HD3450 & card mother amd. I have the query that, initially, the operating system installed on my machine was vista home basic 32-bit. then after I've updated in windows 7 RC1 now I want to downgrade in Vista Home Basic Edition again. can u tell me the ways on how to do with this thing. my need is I want a downgrade frm 7 to vista home basic and I don't want to do a clean install of Vista Home Basic, because I have my entire data on drive c. ND it's hard for me to backup large amounts of data. I have also 2 discs of recovery came with my laptop. In addition to this, please tell me if I can move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit according to the config. given above.

  You must do a clean install to Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows 7.

  External hard drives are a good way to back up large volumes of data

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista 32-bit to 64-bit Vista is NOT an upgrade path.

  You will need to BUY a FULL 64 bit Vista operating system version and do a CLEAN install of it.

  Ask the manufacturer of your computer are them, 64-bit versions of Vista support in your model of laptop.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&DLC=en&cc=au

  Online 24/7 support for home and individual HP products

  Ask them how to use your recovery/s drive.

  Each manufacturer has their own way of doing a recovery back to factory settings.

  Normally, you start from the disc and follow the instructions to perform a recovery.

  See you soon.
