Return to windows 7 Windows 10. Now have nothing!
Not quite. You have two options:
- Install Windows 10 from the downloaded file. It will always be free.
- Perform a destructive factory restore to Windows 7 using the disk partition hidden. Consult the manufacturer's web page for instructions on how to start the process.

Uninstall Windows 7 and return to the previous operating system - Vista
Victorinox original title: my nephew put windows 7 on toshiba laptop, which had windows vista when I purchesed and there was no disk operations sold with the laptop, how can I get vista windows on here.
can someone help me, myh computer did not come with all the disks to restore my windows vista or that applications where load on this toshiba satellite a305-56903. DOE anyone know anything I can do to solve this problem.
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer 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.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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

We bought my son an ACER laptop in May this year (2014) as a birthday present and (hopefull) for useUniversity (he won a place).Yesterday, the laptop has stopped working and just turned off.We took it back to the Currys PC World store (2222 Liverpool Aintree Branch) to fix them.They decided that it was not a warranty issue and that: - (I quote)"The fault details: updates Windows has corrupted operating system." "Needs a remastering and updates the resettlement".I have this in writing.It cost my son, a student, £50 and is without his laptop when it nears its first round of reviews.I need your answer before deciding on my next step.We bought my son an ACER laptop in May this year (2014) as a birthday present and (hopefull) for useUniversity (he did win a place)...

People,
Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.
VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.
People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?
Thanks in advance.
As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest. VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.
And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base. For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.
VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial. After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything. So just install Workstation. After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it. If not, just continue to use the drive.

Is there possible to see which are the background running processes in the system which is having Windows XP as operating system?
There is no resource manager (or resource monitor) in the XP Task Manager.
Please read these notes I send to the people who are (sometimes) concerned about the svchost.exe process number they see on their system or when it looks like one of their svchost.exe process has run amok. We can not all apply to your situation, but I don't want to type in a bunch of stuff once again. Then get Process Explorer and you will be able to be Omniscient:
To help understand your processes svchost.exe and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.htmlYou may be able to get clues with what is happening with your svchost.exe process using the Task Manager and maybe understand.
You will always be able to understand what is happening with your svchost.exe process if you use Process Explorer.
Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' running on your system, especially behind those svchosts several process see you in the running task manager.
Download Process Explorer from here:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it. Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.
Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.
Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems. You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future. You can always run the original tasks as Manager.
Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window. Now you can really see what is running on the system.
Here's a screenshot of my poor system when I use Process Explorer:
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG
The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?
It is OK and normal to have several svchost exe processes running. Important XP Services are actually running under svchost.exe processes. There are sometimes an XP Service that runs under a svchost.exe process, sometimes there are several Services in XP, which runs under a svchost.exe process.
Sometimes malware will hide behind a svchost.exe process because the malware knows that you won't be able to find it in the Task Manager. He will hide behind a svchost.exe process to deceive you, but you can outsmart it.
Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.
The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.
Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process. It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.
If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use. Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes. Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused. You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

I have a problem on my windows xp sp3 operating system when I right click any icon I got accident error? This is the summary of errors:
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.5512> ModName: ModVer shellext.dll: 4.0.468.0 Offset: 0000ca 93Please help thanks :DThis problem is likely to make for an extension of the shell badly installed on your machine. The way to solve this problem is to download and install the free software "ShellExView". When you run this program, it displays all shell extensions that are installed on your machine with a checkbox next to it. By unchecking the box, you can disable this particular shell extension. By trial and error, you can find the one that is causing your problem.

Hello
I get the error "reference data are not available for release 12.1 on the distribution of the Windows XP5.1 operating system" when the installation program runs the verification of prerequisites to install Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio. I am running Windows 7 Enterprise on 64-bit computer. Am I missing another precondition that I'm not aware of this couldn't cause this error?
Thank you!
Hello world
There is a bug in the installer. Here is the workaround:
After checking the installation program is not running, please open that file in the staging area where you have unpacked ODAC:
...\stage\cvu\cv\admin\cvu_config
And in this file, change the CV_ASSUME_DISTID value that is there to 6.1
Save the changes, and then rerun Setup.
This will force the installer to requires that you have Windows 7.
Thank you

I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system. Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.
One of the possibilities for your deliverance is a questionable feature on by default in Windows 10, changing your default printer to be everything you've printed on last.
Go to the Windows 10 Settings of the PC and from there, select Printers & Scanners. Note the option to Let Windows manage my default printer. Make sure that this option is set to Off which is not the default. Once you set this option to Off, then set the driver Adobe PDF as a default. Windows hide more with her!

PS: Yes, it's dark and a pain, but Adobe had no permission in this option and cannot turn by if or turn off!
