  Here is the info on how to reinstall using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  For all other Vista reinstall information, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  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 recently changed to windows 7 from vista. I was wondering if there is a way to recover old photos of the vista operating system... If so can someone help me

  If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.

  I hope this helps.

• Correct procedure to change the Windows password

  This is similar to the post http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board=SpecialInterestsUtilities&message=3111&query.id=101... but I'm not looking for a workaround solution. I'm looking for the right way to avoid the problem.

  When I changed my Windows password in Windows and restarted, the first thing he did was ask me after that I spent my finger. He said that he wanted changed in the security of the client system. I entered the password and it erased, and then connected. After the start, another window pops up asking my Windows password for the security solution client. I entered, but this was rejected. I tried again, rejected. I tried again using any password that I use. All rejected. Maj CapsLock and numlock off the coast.

  Fortunately, I was able to cancel out of it. I changed my password to the original and then restarted. The same claims were held, but he agreed the old passwords. I am in control, but with my original password. Phew!

  Then... What is the correct way to do it? Client security rejects the new password. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks for your help!

  I found a solution in case anyone else comes across this. It may be the best or only one, but it worked...

  (1) disable Security TPM. Do the reset, etc.

  (2) use the control panel Windows users to change your password.

  (3) turn on the TPM secure. Do the reset and the new password asked a couple of times.

  With the help of an operating system older Compaq is professional Windows. Internet Explorer connected very slowly. SO I've reworded in safe mode with network and IE has worked very well. I installed Mozilla Firefox and then restarted in normal mode. Then Internet explorer would not connect. How to diagnose in safe mode. What does safe mode or safe mode with network do to help diagnose? Can someone help me solve this problem? Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

  Hi, Raymond J,.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What type of internet connection do you use?

  ·         What security software do you use?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: As the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

  (a) click Start, run.

  (b) type msconfigand click OK.

  (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

  (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

  Method 2: Follow the steps in the article.

• Changed to Windows Classic theme

  I used Registry Mechanic to optimize the performance of my computer and suddenly, the theme changed to Windows Classic

  I can not change anything to the Windows Vista theme, and the theme file is missed

  Are there solutions?

  Click Start and type services.msc, and then press . Scroll down and locate the themes service and click on it. Then click on start or restart option in the left column. Once restarted, you should be able to select again the theme of Windows Vista in the control/customization panel.

• Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

  Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

  After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

  Hello

  1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

  If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

  ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

  ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

  See the link below:

  Why are some Visual elements will automatically turn off?
