Person to contact on paper for Vista

Hello, I tried to restore the factory settings on my computer but the system has failed, and I can't get into windows.  None of the recovery disks have been made.  I'm trying to contact microsoft about the possibility to obtain a paper copy of vista, but I can't get an email address for them.  Does anyone know how to get in touch with them? Thank you

Hello

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

Communicate with your laptop / computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

See you soon

    I think that the decision of the antivirus program is a personal opinion

    I put t like McAfee and Norton because they need a lot of system resources and do a slower computer.
    I prefer AntiVir and Kaspersky Security suite. The two programs have good scan engine and don t need a lot of system resources. They are easy to use to use it.
    AntiVir is free but it s just an antivirus. Kaspersky Security suite also contains a firewall, antispam filter and more.

    It s your choice what program you are using. ;)

  • Number of validation for Vista winhlp32.exe

    I have Vista and you install winhlp32.exe for Vista. I can't get a validation number on the Microsoft support site.

    I click on continue and get a window of genuinecheck.exe instead of the Options/execute window for the validation issue.

  • My computer didn't work since I installed SP2 for Vista

    After installing service pack 2 for Vista my computer restarted itself and everything that appears is the screen with the following message Windows Boot Manager:

    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
    3. click on "Repair your computer."

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

    File: \Windows\system32\drivers\pci.sys
    Status: 0xc0000098
    Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

    No matter what I do, the computer always comes back to the screen. I tried to insert my installation disc, but the computer does not recognize it. (I have no Vista disks, I have the installation disc that came with my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.

    Suggestions?

    1 make the repair disk Bootable from the info below and do a startup repair.

    2 Dell reinstall info.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    If the restore does not work, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    It's a very good Vista Startup Repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    I bought a desktop PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit and later updated my OS by buying a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade CD soon after.

Given that it was only an upgrade CD, after about a month my BONES began to give me questions by telling me my Windows copy was not authentic. I realized it was because I installed upgrading Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    What do you mean by that?

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
