  Installation of XP instead of Vista:

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.

  Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

  Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

  Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

• Problems upgrading from Vista Home Basic to Vista Ultimate.

  I have a Dell pc came with Vista Home Basic (currently the SP2). I bought (the store) DVD Vista Ultimate Upgrade (SP1). I tried to do an UPGRADE, I prefer NOT to do a fresh install, and he says the upgrade (part) has been disabled and I need to upgrade to a version of Windows that is more recent than the version that I am running. I thought that Vista Ultimate IS an UPGRADE to Vista Home Basic? Both are 32-bit. Any thoughts? (FYI... I don't want to upgrade to Windows 7 at the moment).

  Hello

  Your problem is with the Service Pack level; not the version of Vista.

  The installed operating system has SP2 installed, but the upgrade disc does that SP1 is installed.

  That's why you get this message because SP2 is a newer version than SP1.

  Uninstall SP2 > do the upgrade for Ultimate > reinstall SP2

• where can I get a winows vista home basic startup disk? And can I use a back up from another pc which is vista Home premium?

  be necessary to restart the laptop with Vista Home Basic, but do not have a backup, can make a backup of my desktop vista Home premium if it will work?

  Hello

  You cannot use a backup from a Home Premium computer to reinstall Vista Basic on another computer.

  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.

• Activation problem with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition

  Recently, I had a problem with my office that was running Windows Xp Pro.   After having tried to reformat the computer with my installation disc, something was holding me back upwards.  Thus, recently bought a laptop with Windows vista on it I used the disc that comes with it.  Note: I ordered this laptop for Windows 7, vista is no longer running on this laptop.  Everything installed very well on my office with the exception of one problem it won't let me activate windows.  Now, it's my copy of windows vista that I paid for.  It runs on a single computer in my office.  I have validated my software on my desktop and it's been validated.  Now why not activate Windows Vista?

  If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

  If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
  But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

  A single license is a single Installation.

  See you soon.

• I have a comp with windows Vista Home Basic 2007 Office. Can I upgrade to vista home premium? too many things are not compatible with windows 7.

  This upgrade to vista family premium is still available? is this useful? How much would it cost?

  where do I go to windows 7 and just deal with incompatible programs?

  or just forget it and leave it as it is until I can afford a new?

  * I just did a full factory restore, which helped.

  but when I reinstalled the operating system, it wouldn't let me put in the same primary place on drive C?

  I had to put it in a secondary partition and it saved a lot of old stuff and labeled "old windows"?

  I do not understand why it does this. is there something in the old system files I need?

  cause the entire purpose of the restoration was to get rid of all that. now, I have essentially 2 copies taking up room.

  because he saved much of the old system files, there's no enough space in the main square.

  Do you think I can manually remove the "old windows" copy C drive without doing any harm to the computer?

  I did enter and delete all of the photos and docs & downloads which he recorded, that I didn't, with no negative consequences.

  but it still has a lot of program/file system I fear not remove.i shouldn't need them... right?

  everything I need should be there since the operating system reinstalled, I just did?

  Help?

  Marc Zanyk

  By all means delete the windows.old folder.  Use disk cleanup.  You will find a box to check the detached, although it will not be called "windows.old" specifically.

  It seems that your computer has a recovery partition.  You would not be able to install.

  As for Home Premium, Yes, you can switch to HP.  If you can still find a copy.  Vista Express upgrade is no longer available since Vista is no longer available at a retailer.  However, you can find a copy on eBay.  Make sure you buy a retail copy and not an OEM copy.  You will not be able to update an OEM copy.  No matter if the copy of detail you find is a copy of full or upgrade license.  You'd still be able to do an upgrade in place with one or the other.

• I don't see the photos on my external hard drive with windows Vista Home Basic

  Hello

  I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
  What should I do?...
  Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
  Thanks in advance,
  Charlie

  1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup
  
  2 check the photos and click OK.
  NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

  3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

  4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

  This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

• Screenshot with Vista Home Basic

  I need to know how to take a screenshot with my Vista Home Basic. The information page of Microsoft said "take a screen capture (print screen). Applies to all editions of Windows Vista. To copy the entire screen:

  Press PRINT SCREEN. »

  I can tell you that it does not work.

  What is the secret?

  Thank you.

  Write to me here: chaselink / / to the / / aol / / dot / / com

  It took me forever to figure this out myself, lol.

  After pressing the 'PrintScreen' key, open MS Paint, go to the Edit menu and choose "Paste." The screenshot collected should stick in and can now be saved in jpg or png format.

  If it still does not respond, it is possible that a third-party program has diverted the button for his own purposes.
