Recovery of Outlook Contacts after you have reinstalled Windows Vista

I had to reinstall Windows Vista for a variety of reasons.  I use Windows Backup and Restore Center to back up all personal files, send an email and contacts to an external hard drive.  For some reason, I can't find or recover the e-mail contacts that I had saved before reinstalling.  Y at - there a trick to this?  They were also not in the Windows.old file that I could tell.  Help, please. Thank you.

Robert

Well I thought about it.  I had to physically locate the .pst file in about 2 weeks on the external hard drive.  I copied and pasted in my user profile.  Then he imported in Outlook.  All emails and contacts restored.  I knew there was a way to do it.

    When I restart my computer, it seems that I have now 2 versions of Vista installed on the D: drive but Boot Manager does not let me start the 2nd version - how can I delete this version without removing the working version?

    It cannot be, if this is the case, you have just two entries to startup, and isn't a working installation. To delete the boot entry, you don't want to, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type: msconfig.exe

    Press enter on your keyboard

    Go to the Startup tab

    Select the entry, and then click Remove

  • My product key is not be accepted after you have reinstalled Windows Vista.

    Using product keys Vista reinstallation (OEM)

    I reinstalled Vista after failing to fix some registry errors. I threw down the front product key I have re-installed, but it's a product key which is not accepted by MSFT.  Instead of 25 numbers as it requires, I wrote a 20 (and part it says OEM).

    It's good to upgrade to a version XP OEM Windows Vista and upgrade CD is not a product key. The XP CD has a product key, but of course Vista is not accepting it.  Apparently Vista stops working in 20 days, if I activate it. What is the product code I can use!

    Not worth it!

    Obviously the disk did not contain certificates appropriate for the key.

    Your SLIC table seems to be the appropriate injector to install a Vista, rather than installing a XP, so a recovery disk Dell to Vista so that the machine can very well work - and is much less expensive than buying a new license.

    Your best option, if it comes to having to purchase a new license, is to buy a copy of Windows 7 upgrade, it would be cheaper that a full version of Vista from Dell and would be transferable to another machine if he died. ($120 MS for Home Premium upgrade of XP/Vista). You can check compatibility first, just in case there is a problem - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

    You can retrieve your personal files, but not the settings, even if you could look under AppData in the Windows.old and copy them to their respective directory in the installation of Windows Vista work.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    I reinstalled Vista (upgrade), when I try to check and enter my product key, it says "only for the upgrade not a clean install.  On the activation screen, it shows all telephone support option.  Thanks for any help!

    This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

  • After you have reinstalled windows 7 on my computer hp laptop, internet wireless does not work. Any help please?

    I have a HP Pavilion g7 - 1205ev laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition.

    I bought a new hard drive, so I had to reinstall Windows.

    After installation, the laptop cannot connect to internet by wifi or Ethernet. After trying the troubleshooting it says that windows do not detect a network card installed properly.

    In the Device Manager, I see that there is an exclamation to these exact components:

    Standard VGA graphics card

    BCM20702AO

    Ethernet controller

    Network controller

    PCI device

    PCI Simple Communications controller

    SM Bus controller

    Download all these somewhere? And of course I'll upload them to another PC that my laptop will not at all online.

    I also tried to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on my laptop and the Ubuntu uses the Internet very well. (If this information is useful at all)

    Can someone tell me what to do? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

  • How to get the drivers and files lost after you have reinstalled Windows XP

    Message: How to recover documents Word and Audio drivers after reinstalling Windows XP on the computer.

    Operating system: Windows XP

    Exactly how is that did you reinstall Windows.

    Your "reinstall Windows" had formatting of the disk (i.e., a "clean install") or restore the computer to its state of "cost-of-the-factory '?  If so, your documents and other files are essentially disappeared (possibly recoverable at great expense by using a Drive Savers).

    If you don't reformat or use a "recovery partition" (that is, you did a "repair" install), then it is possible that your data may be recoverable.  More you continue to use the computer, however, over the likelihood that the data is unrecoverable.

  • I have no sound on the computer after you have reinstalled Windows.

    Hello

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 on my PC and I was a little proud of myself, have internet, email, video works... but then no sound. :(

    So the most common answer seems to be getting the correct driver.

    I have a motherboard ASUS P7-P55-M, I went to the ASUS website and got the best audio driver for this mobo, which is: VIA_Audio_V6019500_XPVistaWin7.

    I therefore installed that, and then one encouraging thing is that DURING the installation of this audio driver, my speakers made a sound that made me think that they are the least recognized, or this audio driver is at least to see them there?

    But then after the reboot, I still have no sound.

    So I tried to look at the specs for this mobo, and saw the audio chip itself is VIA VT1708S. So I followed the links and found a driver for it, but after I installed that now, it seems that it is just a version still newer same driver (the preceding being 9500, 10200 or this is what it looks like.)

    in any case, this newer version and the one outside the site of ASUS, as well as older drivers, I think, just install a version or one that other: HD VDeck.

    Common responses include at this time something about the Realtek drivers (can't see how tho so it shall not apply, or using those on drivers THROUGH), or Windows Troubleshooter, or something in the playback functions, or an old or Windows driver conflict with these new?), but I have tried these things (or I thought I did lol).

    But I still have no sound on my speakers.

    Very frustrating because it feels like I'm 98% done my re - install, and it looks like its just some simple setting somewhere in Windows or this HD VDeck that will get things working.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Original title: speakers work not after fresh windows 7 installed, please help!

    Hello

    Thank you very much for your answers. :)

    I formatted completely, no folder Windows.old and also no printed dxdiag, I myself for the kicks, which I'll make sure to have next time lol.

    Device Manager is fine, I went over that and basically each sound option of Windows or menu, that I could find, which made me think the problem somewhere else.

    So I took the suggestion of Nirmal and used automatically diagnose it and fix the link he provided. Suggestions of the convenience store has really helped as much as he said everything has been updated, or was not a problem, but what I noticed, it was what a screen in the Microsoft Fixit program running:

    Resolution of Windows Audio playback problems

    Which of these devices you want to troubleshoot?

    Select the device that you are having problems with. If the device is not listed, select device are not.

    Speakers - VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the front of the computer).

    Interface SPDIF (TX0) VIA High Definition Audio (the connector for this device is located on the open or pull-open sliding panel at the back of the computer).

    Output HDMI AMD - AMD high definition Audio Device (Connector for this unit is located in the HDMI connector).

    Unlisted device.

    Now when I continued from here, I don't have all the answers useful, but it makes me start thinking about the plugs/connectors themselves, rather than the drivers or anything else.

    So, I've discovered that my audio interface (HD VDeck) installed with the audio drivers of my motherboard, has no options is disable the jacks on the front panel, or the possibility of re - configure jacks how you want. If you want your speaker system to get out the same plug as it was before, you MUST be able to reconfigure your catch. Otherwise, making default value for your speakers, according to the drivers from the manufacturer of your, is actually not the green plug, I used, but among the other instead. This other outlets, or maybe even just the front headphone or microphone jack will work instead.

    So to summarize:

    If you did a clean install of Windows 7 (or a similar version), and that you have installed the drivers of your sound and re-configured your settings Windows Sound (speakers as value by default, etc.), then you did everything up to this point correctly. At this point, you MUST have an audio program like Realtek, which allows you to reconfigure or disable the catch. Otherwise, your speakers, by default, is no longer just the audio jack green we are accustomed to, but rather another "back". You MUST use the other rear socket (most likely the speaker FRONT plug), or one of your jacks façade, in plugging your speakers instead.

    This may sound funny, but this workaround works, unless you get an audio program to reassign the normal green audio jack.

    I looked at hundreds of messages on the last few days trying to get this resolved. I wish I could go back and share this info with all these people now lol.

    Thanks for the info, and please share with all those who have problems with Windows reinstall and sound.

    Kind regards

    Brad

  • After you have reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate error isn't real OS?

    I had to completely erase my laptop HD and reinstall WIndows 7 Ultimate from my OEM copy. But he said that it is not authentic. What is even more strange is that he made two months after I installed it, which is zero logic. And it is certainly an authentic copy, I still have the receipt from the store that I bought it to prove! So someone please tell me how we can solve this problem.

    exactly told the rep of activation you?

    I begin to suspect that you had previously installed on another computer. Note that an OEM license is valid only on the first computer, it has been installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.
    An OEM license can be installed on the same card mother as many times as you want but are not valid on another computer.
