• Problem installing Windows Vista after Linix based system crashed.

  So when I bought this laptop it was running Vista, I then upgraded to 7.  After running windows 7 for a few months, I decided to try Ubuntu Linux.  I made a mistake when trying to dual boot and ended up taking my computer windows.  Ubuntu crashed while I was doing something to my Iphone with it and she would not allow me in the operating system.  I got my restore disk and installed windows again, but when I did I found that all my drivers are not installed for my wifi card and the graphics card.  I have the drivers also disk, but here shows all installed.  What should I do to recover my laptop to factory settings?

  Hey SteveZea

  you don't say if you used your laptop to join here or not

  go to your site to manufacturers of portable computer with the computer that you use for here and find a download section

  find the drivers for your laptop model number, download and save if you use another computer to get here

  copy to flash drive, if you use another computer to do this and reinstall on your laptop

  If the problem persists then contact the manufacturer of your laptop as their recovery process is not microsofts you have problems with

  Whenever I do a right-click in the windows Explorer, I get "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close". Tried system restore, but I get cannot restore at this opoint. Nothing to restore. And that was only 1 week. And it's the first date, I remember that she had no problems

  BuggyG,
  I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.

• Is it safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore?

  I would like to know if it is safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore. I did two restorations system in a year or two, and I have two files labeled "Windows.old" and "Windows.old.000" which are just take a lot of space on my computer. I heard that it is safe to remove them, but only if some files are copied correctly. How do you know if those files are copied on?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  It is safe to delete

  but get your data off it 1 if necessary

  you are the one who has to decide if you have recovered your data from the windows.old folder, until you remove

• Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

  I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

  Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!

• Will there be any problem of reactivation after the XP system restore?

  I just do a system restore (if out-of-the-box original factory of the machine) to a disk image.  After starting in Windows XP Pro SP2 I have entered configuration information initial requested as well as (as requested) Windows product key, but I jumped the (reactivation) activation step for now.  The motherboard has been replaced a year ago and I added RAM.  I all provided with the machine when you purchase including an OEM Windows XP SP2 "Recovery disc".  Will I have problems trying to activate/reactivate Windows or do I have to call Microsoft customer service to begin with.  Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If the replacement motherboard was provided by Dell and Windows XP is as you mentioned a Dell OEM Dell recovery disk is required to provide support by Dell with Microsoft license agreement. If the computer is still in warranty, then support should be free.

  Activation should not be a problem as long as the product key belongs to the OEM recovery disk.

• Re: Equium A200-1V0: Vista won't load - system restore does not

  Toshiba Equium A200-1V0, purchased January ' 08
  Vista Home Premium

  Upgrade office 2007, rebooted fine, saved all the files. I went looking for vista security updates & Office including. Net3.0 - pc crashed during installation. F8 to repair pc & system restore to front office installed. everything seemed well & rebooted ok so I have backed up all critical files.

  reinstalled office 2007 & vista hanging on the required reboot.

  Try to load in safe mode & vista hangs at crcdisk.sys. It was suggested to remove all pcmcia & 1394 drivers, but the switches/s/p do not work in command prompt so I can't be sure enough to find them all to delete or rename.

  F8 for pc repair & while the menu appears, it is very slow to get there.
  Startup Repair detects no problem, System Restore won't work, so assuming that restore lost points (there were a few elders before the one I went to). Command prompt will run.

  Toshiba has provided a system restore disc, but crashes after language selection. It was suggested that the disk was duff, so I downloaded the ISO to a disk of vista without the extras toshiba restore & that said it is loading & then sits right on the blue/green screen of vista.

  I have a basic family official OEM of Vista editing copy for a new machine, I do build, so tried to boot from a full installation of windows (without formatitng) - this also hangs on the blue/green screen of vista. This is my first to face with a laptop without a correct installation disc, so if I format & reinstall the will I lose the recovery partition?

  Any other ideas of what to try?

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but with the hardware
  If the reinstallation of Vista is not possible then this could be caused by a hardware problem
  I can only suggest on the malfunction of HARD, RAM disk. Everything is possible

  If I you would be then I would format the whole HARD drive I would be to delete all partitions and would try to reinstall the operating system from the recovery CD

  If it is not possible, then you should ask the ASP in your country for a control from laptop s!

  Good luck

• Recently upgraded to the new version of Firefox and after a Windows system restore was performed today Firefox is therefore more accessible (by clicking on icon Firefox results in nothing) what can I do?

  After System Restore Mozilla Firefox icon is still on the screen but now when I click on the Firefox icon does not open. I have a number of bookmarks saved I'd perfer not to lose - is there anyway I can restore Firefox without losing bookmarks?

  Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful to do a system restore.

  Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

  • Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

  Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

• All my files are gone after doing a system restore

  Tuesday, I spotted that I was behind on my updates so be fairly busy told windows draft.exe all and he then installed.
  When I came back to my computer (after the restart). I found that windows had created a new user, Temp. On this temp Itunes was not installed and none were anything else.
  I got itunes to add the library again and I continued a bit annoyed with Vista
  Then I noticed that my hard drive was packed even if I had loads of free space. So I decided to do a system restore.
  He got rid of the Temp and in the process most of my files.
  After much research, I decided to cancel the restoration of the system think that logically it that would result is error.
  Bad...
  Cancellation of the restoration of the system made the rest of my files disappear.

  I'm no expert, but I do not think that my files were gone I believe that something has happened in the root directory (hope only maybe blind).
  When I search for my vista documents found, but if clicked told me that the item that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly.

  If anyone can help?

  You can try some third-party data recovery software which is available free on the Net and try to recover the lost files. You can access the link below and download the file and check if the files can be recovered.

• I need to recover the Favorites after a Windows system restore.

  After doing a restore of windows on Windows 7 Pro, I have only the default bookmarks on my view your bookmarks"" button. In a backup of the system a few months ago, I got the files and folder Appdata Firefox Profiles. I tried to replace the new profiles of 'empty' to the former, but without success - I still have only the default bookmarks. Thanks in advance for your help.

  Note what to do a system restore will probably replace the profiles.ini file and all the profiles that are made after the date of restoration will not appear or be accessible through the Profile Manager.
  
  If profiles are still there, then you can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of an existing profile (choose a folder) of re - save profile.

• Internet and the sound does not work after uninstalling programs, System Restore also not work.

  I noticed that my computer felt a bit slow so I uninstalled a few programs that I knew were not very helpful so I restarted my laptop, and then the network and the sound does not work.

  I tried to use the system restore, but that does not work either and I tried to online solutions, but nothing works.

  Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help
