Reinstall Windows and now I have two Windows Vista
I had to reinstall my Windows Vista from CD yesterday and I put the disc and restarted my computer. He didn't start running until Windows has loaded and I chose where I wanted and put it in my D recovery drive and now when it starts up, it comes up with a black screen and I have to choose which one I want to use.
How can I get rid of the one I use not so black screen doesn't show up? I don't know that's not healthy for my pc to have two copies on this subject.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I used this blackberry without the data plan, and this is the first time that I jived with my computer since the development of the data plan. Now, I got two of all future appts. Someone at - it thoughts or ideas on how I missed this?
Welcome to the JodeeS forums
I don't see why this has happened: as you do not use a data plan, the calendar was not associated with an e-mail account on the phone. When you have added a data plan, it has created a new timetable for the e-mail account and you now 2 sets of appointments. Don't worry, it can be fixed pretty easily.
1. make a backup of the data on the phone and schedule by using Desktop Manager (just in case)
2. go into the Desktop Manager > Backup and Restore > advanced
3. in the right window, all of the databases on your phone is required. Select the calendar and click on "Cancel". This erases all calendar entries so that you can return to synchronize again.
4 synchronize the calendar now... If all goes well, you should have your calendar to return.
Note: I suppose you use Outlook for your correct calendar?

I tried to ebb in the Boot Camp Assistant, but I'm greeted by this message "Startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. Also, whenever I try to go back to disk maybe utility try to merge the two together it won't let me. Help, please. My laptop is currently the MacBook Pro 2015.
Maybe someone can come up with some weird juju or mysterious incantation to perform during the full moon in loincloth, but in a State worse case, you will need to repartition the disk and reinstall/restore from scratch. So I would say that you start preparing down all your stuff safely into something you can restore from. In other words, get an external drive of appropriate size and clone the current system of work on a bootable clone. Can be done with disk utility, but the fastest way is to use CarbonCopyCloner, you can try for free. Be sure to clone the recovery Partition as well.

Migration of PC now I have two user accounts. How can I transfer everything to a user account
I've migrated from PC to iMac, and now I have two user accounts. How can I just well mover a user account and then delete the second user account.
A user account is one that you created in the Setup Wizard when you have got a Mac. The second he the user account you migrated your PC. If you used the same username for both, then you can simply copy the files from one to the other. If the user names are different, then see: transfer of files from one user to another account.

Internet worked well until I reinstalled windows vista 64 bit on my Dell laptop, now my Internet does not work. Went into Device Manager and there is no network adapter. I tried to reinstall the driver that came with my laptop disk but it doesn't seem to work, says that I need an updated driver. I don't know what else to do, I have to install a new driver from the Internet? Ugh becomes very frustrated!
http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

Just a wild guess since I don't know what does Dell but find your C drive for an i386 folder. If there is, just go to add or remove programs, ' Add/Remove windows components, accessories, games and utilities.

Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

What was the original version of Windows 7 you have before using the "upgrade" Anytime Whenever the upgrade cannot normally upgrade to XP. It simply allows the upgrade of Windows from a lower to a higher level:

My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

Hello
Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...
Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.
See which is more easy for you.
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:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
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.
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
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

Reinstalled windows vista and cannot connect to the internet.
OK, so I have problems with my computer (model Emachine) and ended up having to reinstall windows vista. Windows works fine, even if I can't connect to the internet, because it does not recognize my modem, or my modem is suddenly not there. I am also running switched. If I have to download a driver, so I have to be online to do, so I'm in a catch 22. with little money and no way to get there.
I really need this computer to work, so any help would be appreciated.
Read my response: download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.
You should be able to download/save files and copy them.
