• Windows cannot reset your computer

  My computer says windows cannot reset your computer... Please help me to reset my computer...

  The original product key is embedded in the motherboard of the laptop UEFI firmware, so you're not going to lose...

  If you restore using recovery media HP, which will retrieve the key automatically and reactivate the original OS.

  However, you have already saved your PC running Win10 with Microsoft. So, if you decide to install Win10 instead, as long as you install the same version you already running, once the PC connects to the Internet, it will communicate with the Activation of MS servers and automatically reactivates.

  Good luck

• I have a HP pavilion Elite and I can not reset my computer to factory settings?

  I continue to have this problem where I can not even open any app on the computer such as microsoftword and power point. Nothing works! I tried reseting the computer, but I did not eat for recovery. or a backup disk. I tried to download the recovery as some other Manager answers but it doesn't seem to work. I can't even personlize my background saying "Server Esecution failed" in everthing.

  Hello again Otaku.

  Sorry for my delay.  I was out of the office.

  It really depends on your warranty situation.  You can check the status of your warranty here.  Even if you are not in the security for costs which are incurred would be minimal, and these drives are incredibly useful to have.  Then, I highly recommend that you buy a game if you don't have any.

  Have a wonderful day!

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• I want to reset my computer to its factory settings

  I want to reset my computer to factory settings, wiping it completely clean., I downloaded vista service pack 2 when it came out, so I do not have the disc. I have the original disc, but it says I need service Pack2, how do I restore the factory settings without the disc it asks? I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with service pack 2 downloaded.

  Hello

  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:

  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 restore my files after resetting my computer?

  original title: how iget back my files after resetting my computer?

  I recently had to resett my computer after trying to go wireless, my broadband provider sent me a defective router and my laptop just crashed! I had to restore it back to factory settings and judt wondering if there is any chance of getting my pictures back and my itunes library and files?

  If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

  You can try this program:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

  Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.
