Obtaining recovery Vista Media and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer, to return to the 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.

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

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 way of doing 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

  • Want the audio file, click on the box to play when you click

    Hi all

    I would like to have a click box that plays a short audio file when you click it, much the way you can have a view of the legend and a playing audio file with a bearing. It seems that there is no way to get the 'success on click' action to be 'read the audio file '. I can associate an audio file with the box click on the Audio tab, but this makes the audio file play automatically when the click box, not display when clicked.

    If someone was able to get an audio file to play when the user clicks on a click box, as I describe it, without connection to another slide and without the help of a button? I don't want to use a button because the real object that is clicked is a box of nail on something else. The highlight box means that there is more information about the highlighted item.

    In addition, I don't want to create a branch to another slide, because they are really short texts of audio presentation bit, and I have three of them. I prefer to have interactivity on a slide, rather that force the user to navigate around.

    If anyone did what I describe and has ideas, I welcome them. At this point, I think a bearing with legend and play on the mouse on an audio file can be the best thing, except if the user moves the mouse out of the hotspot, the sound stops. Maybe it's not bad anyway, but thought I'd check here everything first before resorting to a reversal.

    Thank you very much!
    Lisa

    Hi Rick!

    Thanks a lot for your answer. Hmm... I think in my situation, workaround to reread the previous slide to reset the box click doesn't work. Before arriving at these interactive click boxes, the slide has other text and audio playback. Start the slide would re-read everything until the blade stops, then display the interactive elements. However, I think that something like that might work for a project where the interactive stuff "starts" immediately on the slide. It's simply not how mine is set up at this stage. I think that the legend of attached with audio reversal will probably be my best option right now.

    Thanks again for your response!

  • A wi - fi network reset to "out of the box.

    Hello

    Sorry to ask what may be a very basic question, but how do you define a wireless router - more WiFi settings of your laptop - back to the way they were when they came out the box? In other words, I want wireless and portable routers that I forget they know so that I can set up my wireless network again as if I put for the first time.

    The reason is a little involved, but for the most part, I had a set up wi - fi network and launched from a Terminal Airport Express and it worked very well. During the holidays I then bought an Airport Extreme because I wanted something a little better for my base unit and then I wanted to use the Express as an Extender. How I wanted to now, I had not tinkered with something that was not broken, as the addition of the extreme for the network was not as simple as I was expecting and my wi - fi network everything seems to go wrong, like my internet connection. I had someone to configure two routers (understand I can I have messed up a setting when I was trying to implement) but still no luck - he would work for a bit and then my internet would just go down. Using Airport utility, showed that routers and internet will run for a few seconds and then would stop and I would lose the connection.

    I work and live on a college campus for the internet at home is powered by an ethernet into the wall jack, just as you would in an office. Through contact the COMPUTING helpdesk, they managed to tell me (although partly because of techno speak and a little bit of a language barrier that English isn't the first language here) I got away from. What I could gather was something like the two routers SSID must be different because they were "beating" and this caused the network to automatically shut down at home? Unfortunately they treat only to provide internet service home and cannot help with the problems of wi - fi.

    I am pursuing other means to help (we are a University of science and technology research, after all!), but something I thought was if I could just reset routers and WiFi my laptop 'memory' of the network and start over as if I was there for the first time. I don't want to plug the router and it says something like "this was part of the XX network."

    Anyone know how?

    Thank you very much

    To configure your router from Apple to its "out-of-the-box" configuration, you must perform a ' default ' reset on this subject.

    For the laptop, if it's a Mac, then you will need to follow these steps for "erase it."

    Start with the first steps (1 - 1). If that is not accomplish what you're looking for, go to step 2.

    1a. remove preferred networks

    System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > advanced > tab Wi - Fi

    Under "Preferred networks", delete the networks you use regularly in the list.

    1B. Airport deleted keychain entries

    Launch the application "Keychain Access", located in Applications/Utilities.

    In the windows on the left side: Select login for keychains and "All items" category.

    Click on the 'Genre' filter at the top and search all "AirPort network password" entries... and remove them.

    1 c. Add Network favorite (s)

    System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > advanced > tab Wi - Fi

    Add preferred networks using the button «+»

    Restart or disconnect you, then back in.

    2. move the System Configuration files

    (Note: you will need to restore your network connection settings.)

    Go to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences

    Move the SystemConfiguration folder on the desktop.

    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the folder & files that are now sitting on your desk in the library > location of preferences.) If this does not resolve the problem, you can move the folder back to its original location.)

  • How to reset the default monitor on Acer 2920, computer laptop think always connected to an external monitor

    Hello, I hope you can help me! I have a laptop Aspire 2920 with Windows Vista Home Edition O.S. It starts and works fine except that after I used it with an external monitor (a tv screen) on the possibility of using the external monitor, it only now starting to think that the monitor is the flat screen tv and doesn't recognize the normal screen of the laptop. The laptop screen is now "pixeled" and shows only like 2/3 of its total width. I checked in Control Panel and it has recorded as the 'normal' monitor flat screen, but I can't way a find to tell the computer that the monitor is the same as usual and not the flat screen tv. Thank you!!!

    Dear Lawrence,

    I ve solved the problem.

    Do you have your suggestion to reset and did not work, but keeping your idea, I hooked to an external monitor, mounted in Control Panel, remove the "non-existent" monitor in the device section.

    At this point, I had no image at all in the laptop and only the external monitor.

    Turn off the computer and then reset the power supply.

    Because the computer did not all other monitors, he then had to use the one by default with the default resolution, etc..

    Thanks, it was a great help!

    I don't know if I am posting this in the right advice.  I had to do a reset on my Pavilion dv7 laptop, kept my personal files, but now I can't access the Internet.  It shows that I am connected to my wireless network, but I can't go to all the websites that I go into my browser.  I went to Device Manager and went to network adapters.  I can say that the driver works fine and I don't see the warnings or errors on other drivers in Device Manager.  I am at a loss of what to so any help would be appreciated.

    Hey @Esoxdiver,

    I understand that you are experiencing you encounter some difficulties to connect your laptop in WiFi and I want to help.

    Here is a list of steps that solve common problems with wireless connectivity.

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Network power cycle:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an Ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the document.

    The above steps are presented by @Great-Christine-Tree

  • Firefox spell check feature began to point out almost all of the words, regardless of if the words are correctly spelled.

    Firefox spell check feature began to point out almost all of the words, regardless of whether the words are spelled correctly.

    Tried to download and reinstall Firefox 3.6.8 but the same thing happens.

    Tried different web pages to see if it was a feature of a particular Web site, but it happened while I typed this entry in a field on a Mozilla Web site page.

    Such a shame, apart from the extensions topic spelling is one of my favorite features of Firefox!

    Can you tell what dictionaries were causing this issue?

    Only the selected dictionary has an effect.

    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right click in a text box and open the submenu language.

    Also make sure that [[X] "Check spelling" in the right click menu context has a tick.]

    Alternatively, you can try to move on the items 'Check spelling' and the new.

  • How can I reset my R7000 in the State in which I out took it of the box?

    How can I reset my R7000 in the State in which I out took it of the box? Why am I asking? The latest version of the firmware has destroyed the connectivity and performance of my router. I'll have to deal with the devices that can not connect, devices that fall, extremely poor performance, etc. It's just a disaster.

    I've been with Netgear 5-6 years and had to do something last night, I have never had to do before - I had to go back to an earlier version of the firmware. Honestly, very little worked well. The previous version of the software has a few hiccups here and there, but the new version is just a nightmare.

    Now that I have applied even if an earlier version of the firmware, I can still see some of the latest options which were not there before. I have taken note that the firmware was now the prior publication, but the GUI is still the current version.

    Just to give a time frame on my Nexus 5 running 802.11ac, prior to the current version, I could peg 90Mbps +. Since the new version, the best I can do standing right next to the router is 24Mpbs +. Even after the restoration of the previous firmware, the speed is always the same.

    So, I want to return the router to the shape that when I took it out of the box, apply the previous firmware and reset up if necessary. I want to just my router back prior to the most recent release that destroyed. Once again, that the release had a few hiccups, but it was still usable.

    The 30-30-30 reset method works on most routers out there, but not on the R7000...
    The correct way to reset your R7000 at the exit of the State of the box is...

    Download the original version of Netgear R7000 Support HP http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000(Firmware Version 1.0.0.96)

    Reset and flash back of any Stockfirmware on the original Stockfirmware:

    Power on the router
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **
    connect to 192.168.1.1
    Flash the original FW
    now that the router restarts
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **

    * After each reboot, the first login on StockFW screen should show something like "refresh the settings or the settings of loading.

    Now, it's as out of the Box.

    Reset and flash back to any DD - WRT FW to Stockfirmware initial:

    Power on the router
    Wait a few seconds
    Telnet to the router
    Run the commands:
    'clear the NVRAM '.
    'reboot '.
    Wait a few seconds
    connect to 192.168.1.1
    Flash the original Stockfirmware through the Administration tab (if the upgrade fails and the site is not available, try another browser such as Firefox, chrome, safari)
    now that the router restarts
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **

    * After each reboot, the first login on StockFW screen should show something like "refresh the settings or the settings of loading.

    Now, it's as out of the Box.

    I have reflashed several R7000 to initial Stockfirmware as the last FW with Beamforming was not stable enough after several days/weeks testing... The FW showed massive connection drops after 24 hours and only a reboot of the router fixed it (tested on 3 x R7000)

    The connection has dropped from 1300 to 66-256 after several hours...-. -.

    Now I'm waiting a new FW version with corrections of Wifi of Netgear.
