Need to re - install Vista on Acer laptop which has Vista pre-installed
I have a laptop Acer 5735 who had a problem, a friend has tried to repair it and makes things worse. My laptop has now no operating system, can I download vista and use the activation key which is located at the back of my laptop. If possible how? Thanks, Karl

Hey taffyboss007
There is no download free legal vista
Contact acer and ask them to send recovery disks
they do it for a nominal cost
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
and ask them if you have a recovery partition to reinstall vista
you will normally need to press Alt + F10 to start the acer recovery process
Check with acer for the right combination of keys

original title: Wireless on the Fritz
I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in). However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network). I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router." That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled. This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »
The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network. Maybe who has messed up my settings? That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.» However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.
I don't really know what the problem is. Any ideas as to what I can do? I don't want to reset my computer everything.
Thank you!
Hello
You can view these methods:
Method 1:
I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.
After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.Method 2:I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.Method 3:I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall. -

I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed.
I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed. While my speakers work well, I cannot hear any sound in my headphones every time that I plug them in. And whenever I take off the helmet, I can hear clearly. However the same headphones work with another machine perfectly. I tried all the troubleshooting guides, but can't get my headphones to work with my laptop. Appreciate if a solution can be provided.

I have a HP Pavilion 6500 CTO (?) vintage 2008 model. It came with Vista Premium. It is the only time that I forgot to make a recovery disk, but there is a sort of drive partitioned D that could be disaster recovery. Anyway. .. . . .
I made one of the first Windows 7 Premium Upgrade downloads (I still have the right to download a backup). I also bought 6 months later any when upgrading to Windows 7 Pro.
I would like to donate this laptop to a member of the family, so I would like to start with a clean slate of the operating system and drivers of origin if the wireless hardware and other works. Two Questions
1. If I create a recovery disc in the current state of the computer to have Win 7 Pro loaded, format the hard drive and then try to reinstall the OS from the recovery disk, which will load OS - Vista or Win 7 Pro?
2. see question 1 - it is the best way to offer a new beginning for the system with a reformat and reinstall OS, or is there a better solution? As I said, I don't have a recovery for the Vista operating system disk.
Thanks in advance,
W!

The question is a little more complicated. When he restores the computer to the original state, it also roll back updates to the BIOS, or are those left intact? Why ask? At the beginning, on this model of AMD, I had a fan / overheating issue that has been resolved by updating the bios to set when the fan on. I might have to reinstall this update of the bios of HP!
«mark the recovery partition as "active" and reboot, it will then start this partition and start the Recovery Manager»
The bios will not be affected.

I tried to replace the contents of the old profile folder to the new folder and I also tried to simply replace the urlclassifier3.sqlite file, but that does not work either.
Googling didn't help me in the last 24 hours, but surely there must be a way to do it-right?
Thank you very much
AnthonyYes, there is a way to restore your bookmarks from your old laptop to the new. Note that profiles just replace the contents of the old folder will not work because your profiles.ini file contains a different profile name.
How to restore your bookmarks, please read this article: safeguarding your information.
