• After reinstall Window Vista 32 bit, I can't move the slider to increase the resolution of the screen, how do I solve this problem

  My Dell Inspiron 530 sudenlly crashed, I could not start it. I called for the support of a group that I paid for. Technicians helped me start the PC, but they could not fix the screen resolution: in the display settings window, the cursor is on the left end of the bar, the low position and could not be moved. The technician finally asked me to save the folders files and reinstall Windows Vista. After the relocation, the screen resolution problem persisted. Technicians then reformat the HD, then reinstall Windows Vista again, the result was the same. We cannot change the resolution. Help, please.

• After having upgraded to Firefox 24 it now won't start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

  Upgrade to Firefox 24 and now nothing works at all despite uninstall it and reinstall several times and lose all my favorites etc. However, it does not start in safe mode. At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.

  My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I use Windows internet explore for the time.

• Reinstall Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 with Windows Vista Home Premium.  This laptop has his OS damaged somehow, of great utility and inefficient clean ups.  After that failure with another attmpted fixed, I plan to reinstall Windows.  I have the original restore disks (recovery CD HP QuickPlay application (c) 2005 and the small Manual HP QuickPlay April 2005.  In this manual, it is said: If you plan to reinstall your operating system, first read... Relocation of QuickPlay... [and]... Installation of QuickPlay will stop if you try and install io QuickPlay on a laptop not supported.

  That means not supported (1) with expired warranty?  This means... (2) a different from this particular dv6000 laptop?  (3)... something else?

  If not taken into (1) average load with an expired warranty, and what options are there to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on this computer?

  Neither QuickPlay application restore CD or Application and Driver Recovery DVD are the disks necessary to reinstall Vista. Do you have another drive?

  Alternatively, you can try to tap the F11 key immediately after switching on the laptop to try to boot in Recovery to make a factory reset.

  See the section "start a restore from the hard drive & the computer is off:

• Validation or Activation of Windows Vista (OEM) after the replacement of components & reinstalling

  Hi all

  I just had on the phone speaking to the people of Microsoft online help. After some discussion and blaming 'SLUI 4' (according to instructions), I am still unable to validate (activate) my legal copy of Windows and the Lady on the phone told me to come on this forum to help! ~ (What joke Microsoft management!) ~ She said she was unable to help because my copy of Vista is an OEM version and she said I need to contact the manufacturer. I said, the manufacturer was no longer in business, so now what? She said to go on the forums. So here I am!

  Also, I think the first why I cannot now turn on Vista it's because the PC has had a few different hard disks over the years and during the summer I had to replace the power supply that the original has stopped working. I had a similar problem with another PC a few years ago and it has been easily resolved on the phone speaking with MS online help, but now's done it a lot more difficult for me (using this forum) that I am dyslexic and find writing and reading indeed very laborious.

  In any case, I have reviewed the above and tried a few things, but none have worked for me. Then, please, make my life livable explaining what can I do to activate my Vista in simple terms?

  Is received the following message when you try to validate my copy of Vista after a clean re-installation:

  "The product key you entered is already in use.

  Reasons can be: a new power supply & different hard drives have been installed by myself.

  Please, please help!

  Best regards & thanks a lot, a lot.

  Hi all

  As indicated, I wiped the hard drive, re-partitioned and formatted just to make sure he was completely clean and there is no hidden bad guys or persistent files corrupted, etc..  I then reinstalled Windows Vista, did a few main, graphics drivers updates, etc and then tried to 'turn on' online.

  The bad news is that it still not be accepted and once more displayed: "the product key you entered is already in use.  So, I was a little irritated but not totally surprised, because if there is one thing that I've noticed over the years that Windows operating system are very compatible with their annoying messages! ~ However, this is not the end, read on:

  As you do on these occasions, I thought then of what could be done then that I have not already tried? ~ Well I have to say now that my reason to reinstall Vista is not because I have no desire burning back somehow, it is finally to Windows 10. But before I could do I need to install a "Windows 7 Upgrade" I bought in 2010 when my son was in college.

  This got me wondering if the message could be related in some way, to upgrade?  Twenty minutes after that, my son came into the room and offers exactly the same thing!  Without hesitation, I installed Windows 7 Upgrade and tried to validate online and hey-presto it worked!

  So, for anyone else having similar problems with a re-installation and who have also used a version upgrade of Windows later, is probably the answer ~ if all else fails.  Thus, 14 lb hammer remained in the garage!

  I am glade to say that the problem of Vista activation/validation is now resolved, even better Windows 10 is installed.

  A big thank you to all who tried to help with this annoyance.

  Best regards

• Reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium without CD (broken CD player)

  My mother needs to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on a HP Pavilion, but cannot use the CD because the CD player is broken. I read that there is a way to make it through a hidden partition, but I did find something that gives clear step by step I can follow. If someone has done what can give me a clear set of guidelines? Is it safe to use option? I remember that you try to use a hidden partition on my old Dell, but it failed and I ended up having to borrow a CD. I won't make the same mistake on his computer, where with the help of a CD is not an option.

  Also, are there - other - options, such as reinstalling from a USB stick or something? If so, how do you go?

  Thank you

  May

  You can only use the hidden partition option if your HP was origonally provided with a hidden restore partition. HP support for your specific model site should have the instructions.

  Default you would either need to replace the failed drive, use a third party external cd drive, or depending on your HP, you can copy the complete installation cd to a USB key then boot from the USB key to install (if supported by your HP) or finally your HP with another PC on the network can install via the other PC cd drive

  Hello

  Know what type of network card you have and download the drivers of its supplier.

  It doesn't matter what it is always a good idea before re-install/upgrade to log on to the computer support page, download independent drivers from there and put them on a flash drive.

• Unable to load microsoft highway with windows vista premium - sound happens with your registry settings were not copied correctly

  I recently bought Microsoft Highway to put on a laptop that operartes Windows Vista premium. After loading when you try to use the software, it comes up with "your registry settings for this application were not copied correctly-..." Please reinstall

  Any guidance would be appreciated

  Thank you

  You are welcome.

  A word of warning:
  I guess you knoe the potential dangers of do NOT turn UAC.
  Suggest you turn back on UAC when you do not run the highway.
  There is an opposite camp insisting UAC is 'nuisance, at best', but it's something else, unrelated to your problem.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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
