Need to re - load Vista Ultimate

My laptop computer was upgraded to Windows 7 trial and now I need to re - load Vista Ultimate. Is there a way without having to buy a disc?

Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition 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.

Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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 own way of making 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

    A1. If Vista was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it and you use the OEM disks (or hidden restore partition) to reinstall Windows, any antivirus free trial which initially is preinstalled on the computer will be reinstalled, but not valid.

    A2. You have therefore no anti-virus application installed. I see.

    Hello

    1. how you try to install Vista? You install using Setup disc or try to re the image?

    Please check the compatibility of your drive with Vista:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/search.aspx?type=hardware&s=Seagate%20barracuda%201.5%20TB

    You can use third party software to do a low-level format of the disk, and then try to install Vista once more.

    Important: Microsoft offers no assurance or warranty, implied or otherwise and is not responsible for the download you receive from the sites of third parties or support related to the download or the downloaded technology. If you need assistance dealing with third party technology, please contact directly the manufacturer.

  • Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, even aid keeps crashing on Vista Ultimate 64 bit

    I loaded Vista Ultimate x 64 and it starts fine, but when running if I use Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer or even the help option, it stops (the app not the operating system).

    When I use IE7 it tires to access a URL, then says "Internet Explorer has stopped working".  When I click on the tab that says 'Find a solution online' or something to that effect, it can't find anything and shuts down.  I am able to browse websites with Firefox.

    Also, when I download a 32-bit application as the cleaner _, he warns also an assertion error.  If I try again, it downloads and then I get the error:

    ccsetup.exe is not an application Win32 valid Huh?  I run it on multiple CPUs 32 bit on other machines.  Y at - it something wrong with my Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit application.  I ran all the diagnostic tests and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the disks, or other materials.

    Hi nt5engineer,

    Thanks for posting on the Forum of responses of Vista.

    Is this a beta version of Vista?
    Your screenshot does not appear on here.
    You can use a free host of images photo, most are free.

    I've seen the same behavior in the past, but it is from a beta version of Vista.
    No idea what software this might be:

    'D:\longhorn\ds\securityproducts\...\dynami...ues.cpp '.

    The file extension "CCP" seems to belong to the C++ developer files.
    You do programming on this computer?

  • Qosmio G50: Vista Ultimate loads slowly

    It takes Vista Ultimate on my Qosmio 3 min 10 seconds to load (until the desktop). I think that its too long, is it posible to load faster? Only the programs that came with the charge of the laptop, I have nothing else has not installed.

    Hello

    My Vista loaded more slowly as usual too. Do you know why?
    Due to the high process that load in the background.
    If you start the msconfig and check the Startup tab, then you would find all these applications that load at the same time at the beginning.

    If you wish, you can disable some unnecessary processes (for you).
    In addition, I would recommend the TEMPRO software update.

    The Tempro program was designed by Toshiba and it sends a notification to you if a new update of driver or tool is available on the Toshiba driver page.

    If so, the media may be bad.  The disk might have scratches or other problems, or the drive itself could be dirty.  A can of compressed air which will usually clear upward.

  • Licensing issue? I need to replace the default motherboard with a 'Detail' education Vista Ultimate Upgrade on top of XP "OEM." Can legitimately transfer my license everywhere and how?

    I am currently a computer on which I already installed XP OEM and upgraded to the edition upgrade Vista Ultimate retailers through the ultimate steal Microsoft.

    [Reminder]

    The problem I have is that I've recently updated my graphics card to a card of Nvidia 7300GS card Nvidia GT240 on which my motherboard was properly assessed. However, due to some unfortunate circumstances (I dunno if it's associated graphics or an electrical surge problem, I suspect the latter as the card is fine) my PCI Express slot is fried! This resulted in the motherboard being unable to start any card in the PCI Express slot and gives a series of BIOS beep error codes. I even dug my old graphics (7300GS) and he was still unable to boot. Accordingly, I need to replace the motherboard for the PCI Express slot works if I use a graphics card.

    [Problem]

    Since the license Vista Retail Upgrade that I use currently is the edition of 'detail', can I simply change my motherboard everything and turn it back on, or is it more complex because it is installed on the high XP OEM that is bound to the default motherboard? What are my options?

    I have to buy another XP OEM license and reinstall everything from scratch? What happens if I didn't reinstall and just changed the motherboard and drivers updated my current installation? Is - is this legitimate?

    As I understand it, the Windows for OEM license allows a person replace a motherboard of 'default' (GA-M55plus-S3G in my case) for a replacement under certain conditions, mainly as for everything. Am I entitled to it? If so, what motherboard would be I can replace by although it is considered an upgrade? I have in mind an ASUS M4A78L-M as it is cheap and comes with connectors female jack audio 8 channels on the backplate was on my old motherboard.

    My main confusion is to know what license applies to me because of the upgrade process, retail of Vista or XP OEM? Upgrades medium I improve my driver's license?

    I would like to solve this problem without canceling my licenst but just don't know how?

    Thank you very much for any help or advice.
