• I NEED ASSISTANCE TO RESTORE THE COMPUTER BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

  I have a Dell Vista Home Premium 32 bit computer.  On April 14, I tried to update some drivers, install a music player & even install Vista Service Pack 1.  Is Service Pack 1 bis new section?  I've had my computer for several years and I have automatic updates, so I was surprised when I turned on my computer on April 14, and a message came saying Windows was this important update & I wanted to install, I did.

  Anyway, between all the stuff I did that night I somehow totally messed up my computer.  When nothing would not properly work, I went up to the back & Food Center.  I used this at least a couple of times before without a problem.  This time however, there is no restore point of your choice except April 14.  Anything before that.  When I click on choose another restore point, nothing happened.  I tried to choose April 14 restore point but that didn't help.  Then, to really live things, I decided to restart my computer in Mode safe.  I will never use this option again.  Now I can't get into anything other than Safe Mode.  I ran Spyware, Malware and all the options 'repair your computer' I could find.  Nothing did.  I came on this forum once and the person who helped me finally said the only thing that remains for me to do was to do a full system restore.  He said there was nothing more he could think of to help me.  He didn't tell me how.

  I'm not crazy to do recovery, because I don't know that I will have things then it will fix it, as my Internet service and who knows what else.  But not having not much money right now, I don't want to take my computer somewhere to be fixed if I have to.  Could you please help me to do a full system recovery?  First of all, how can I save my photos and my files, I don't want to lose?  And how do I know what I need to save?  I have a USB flash Memory Stick that I plugged into my computer.  He downloaded the software but I have no idea how to do to get my files to transfer to it.

  And what if I have a virus?  Would I transfer to the portable storage device and then reintroduce the virus to my computer when I transfer this back?  I ran spyware & malware and nothing shows up, but clearly SOMETHING is wrong.  I have a disc of reinstalling that came with my computer but I shouldn't need to use this, should I?  Someone has the patience to give me DETAILED instructions on how to make the recovery, including how to do a back up?  I would love you forever.

  Hello

  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.

  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.

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone can advise me on what to do.

  I want to restore my computer for many reasons back to factory settings.

  I deleted the files junk (lots of them) and saved them to keep.

  I tried to open the control panel and it tells me no free memory, delete a file, and then try again.

  Also, it will not open attachments, old or new parts, but allows me to open other downloas to computer.

  At the end of the me theether. A help

  The PC settings app > recovery under the update section, you should see the option to reset PC.

  If this does not work, hold down SHIFT while you select restart, and you will be able to choose Reset troubleshooting / pc there too.
