  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

• Update Windows Crititcal 7/15/1010 has restored the settings of the computer as if it was brand new.

  Update of Crititcal title: original Windows 7/15/1010

  When I closed my computer last night, the computer indicated that an update critical would be complete installation on closing down.  This morning after my computer (with Windows 7) has been turned on, I found a lot of programs assists or reset to original settings (means that all previous information/data alleys) where I have to configure all settings.  It's as if it was a new computer where I have to install my security, games, configure Outlook Office, etc. !!!   I raised my system retore and it showed my last checkpoint was the critical update!  There is no other control point!   Has anyone else had this problem with this last update?  I feel I have to do everything from scratch.

  Hi Krakenlord,

  -You have several user accounts on your computer?

  Step 1

  If you have several user account make sure you have loged in your user account profile and check if you can see the files.

  Step 2

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if you can see the files and program and post the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 3

  I would say also allows you to perform a system of restore from safe mode to check if you have any other old restore points, and if you can restore the computer to an earlier date where you had all the files on the computer and see if you can get it back.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how torestore configuring operatingsystem to a point in time earlier in Windows:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

  Step 4

  I also suggest you to access the folder of the user on your C drive and check for any other user account. If you find any other user account tries to access the folder of the user account and check if you can find the missing files in the folder of user account and post back the result.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Restore the registry keys to the initial state of work - XP NTFS and permissions

  We have a system Dell / Windows XP (32-bit) / NTFS.

  We have changed the permissions and registry keys and need to bring back them to the original state when we bought them. At this very moment the administrator cannot see the network and we think that it was something to do with the registry keys or authorization keys (more than likely the permissions).  We tried to restore the computer to several different States of known work and it is impossible to restore. We do not have a backup, but they have all the original disks that came with it. Is it possible to restore these settings?  Thank you

• restore the system to the original state

  I am running windows xp proffesional 2002 and you want to restore the factory state how to do this

  Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.

  If this is not available, you can restore the system from a restore CD provided by your computer manufacturer.
