  Uninstall windows 7 Home premium

  How to uninstall windows 7 Home premium package and re install windows vista Home premium SP1

  Given what you have...

  Get/use your Windows Vista Home Premium media (and product key) to start to go and destroy (create new partitions and format) everything that you installed and install again.

  Once you have Windows Vista Home Premium installed, get SP1 and SP2 (in order) to get Vista to update Service Pack, then get all the post-SP2 hotfixes/updates to update installed.

  You also need to locate, download, and install all the drivers for hardware devices,-either by the manufacturer of the computer as a whole (if it's a Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, HP, etc.) or by each manufacturer of components support pages (Intel, Realtek, various manufacturers of motherboard, AMD/ATI, nVidia, Broadcom, etc..)

  You can then install all other applications (office suites, photo-editing suites, video editing suites, Internet plugins, alternative browsers, Internet plugins, etc) and activate the paid applications using the appropriate series/product numbers.

  At this point, you can restore all your backups (documents, music, photos, emails, contacts, databases, spreadsheets, presentations, Favorites/internet Favorites, etc.) on the computer.

  Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

• All program files and shortcuts from the "Start" menu disappeared

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2) (64-bit).  Two days back, I've updated my windows.  After restarting the PC, all program files and shortcuts in Start menu disappeared.  The shortcuts that I myself had added manually do not work.

  Have you tried to do the restore of the system in SafeMode as stated in my answer 1 to you?

  If it doesn't/does not work:

  If you do not want to repost in the Windows Update Forum (they are the specialists it for the best advice regarding your problem), make this disc Bootable startup repair and use it to do a system restore or uninstall the updates by using the method 2nd in my 1st reply:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• HP Pavilion desktop computer: upgrade to Windows 10 - Start Menu disappeared

  I updated July 29 to 10 Windows using the Windows Media authoring tool.  I was very happy with the new system, everything was working fine until 2 days ago the Start Menu disappeared.  I looked for solutions, as it seems a common phenomenon and Microsoft are aware and working on a fix (this problem occurred with a previous version).  The most popular and apparently successful solution is:

  Open Windows PowerShell (run as administrator) the Task Manager (as a new task) and enter:

  Get-AppxPackage | % {Add-AppxPackage - DisableDevelopmentMode-register "$($_.)} {"InstallLocation) \AppxManifest.xml"}

  This has not worked for me.  After much trial and error I havefound change affected 'Standard' to 'Administrator' account and restart work.  Long term, however.  Someone at - there a better solution?

  Thank you. Unfortunately, I was one of those for whom this solution did not work.  The problem turned in my case to be caused by AdAware 9.0 that was included in the upgrade.  He was using a lot of memory and seemed to be blocking updates.  He was not enrolled in a program control panel, so I was unable to uninstall it.  I tried to replace it with the latest AdAware (currently 11.0) to save the program and then can be removed but was not able to uninstall version 9.0 or (AdAware 11.0 seems to cause problems with Windows 10).  I finally managed using Revo Uninstaller http://www.revouninstaller.com/ and find the program that even this program has no seeAdAware 9.0 installed programs.  After a complete withdrawal of all remaining files and a few reboots and allowing Windows Update to automatically install updates a backlog of orders, the Start Menu is back.  Problem solved.

  Hello

  How 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 F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

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

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor didn't finish and restore to Windows Vista

  I try to install Windows 7 and started using Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to examine the State of Vista.

  A number of questions appeared so I did the updates or of facilities such as specified. I then re-ran and it shows now no problems.

  The only things without green ticks are the wireless printer which he cannot evaluate but does report does not as a problem.

  The upgrade of Windows runs almost until the end and then fails and rolls back to Vista. When you are finished, he said to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor!

  Where should I go now?

  Notes:

  • Collect all the important application discs and discs of hardware driver, you might need to be reinstalled.
  • Consult the manufacturer and the site of developers of software for available updates and inquire about the status of compatibility with Windows 7. It is possible that if the software is compatible with Windows Vista it probably will work with Windows 7, because they share the same driver model.

  Back up your data:

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows.

This can be handy if your installation of Windows 7. For instructions on how to use the backup of the computer, see article following here. Of course, you'll need an external hard drive for this task.

If you need a similar to the complete PC backup option, you will need a third party too.

  See the following article from Microsoft MVP JW Stuart on how to make a backup of a Windows here installation using Acronis True Image here

  Other steps that you can use to check your data is secure before the upgrade creates a backup of Windows Easy Transfer. Learn more here , this option is very limited and should be used only if do not plan to return to Windows Vista because the easy transfer of backups can be restored in Windows 7 or Windows 7.

  What you can do before performing the upgrade?

  You can perform certain tasks of pre-required to ensure a migration smoothly between Windows Vista and Windows 8. If you use a computer such as a Dell or HP brand name, go to the website of manufacturers for the model computer you are using and download the latest drivers available for this computer. Store them on a disk or a USB key. You should try to get important factors include network and video drivers. Its possible that they might have only Windows Vista, those that will work with Windows 7.

  Other things you can do:

  1. Uninstall all security software before attempting to upgrade.
  2. Disable any encryption software, that you may have installed such as file encryption, BitLocker Drive encryption.
  3. Disable/uninstall software utility to drive such as CD/DVD burning utility or third-party programs such as perfect disk defragment.
  4. Make sure your computer is updated (devices and applications).
  5. Disconnect external devices before installing.
  6. Check your hard drive for errors:
     -Click Start
     -Type: CMD
     -Right click on CMD, and then click Run as administrator
     At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
     Exit the command prompt.

• makemenu problem: display of the menu, but after selecting an item, menu disappears and pops up again in the Middle after the code is executed

  Hello

  I have a very strange problem on BB9700 running OS5:

  1. application with 2 screens, each with menu (makemenu)

  2. second screen is pushed by the first screen

  3. menu of second screen works as desired

  4. menu of the first display shows the following behaviors:

  Click on BB-let the menu appear in the lower left corner. So far so good.

  After clicking the item(own item-run block is empty) menu, the menu disappears and appears back in the middle of the screen.

  This is my code (even in second screen-but working there):

     protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance) {
          super.makeMenu(menu, instance);
  
          menu.add(new MenuItem("fix menus",10,20){
              public void run(){
              }
          });
  
                  menu.add(new MenuItem("Options",20,10) {
              public void run() {
              }
          });
  
      }
  
      protected boolean onSavePrompt()        {           return true;       }  
  

  In the second screen, the menu works fine, but with the first!

  Any idea?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Ted_hopp, simon_hain,.

  I found something after commenting on overridden methods (one after another):

  I have replace onFocusNotify. If I comment I out completely, the menu works as it should.

  If I just use the following code:

  protected void onFocusNotify(boolean focus) {
  
  }
  

  with nothing else (not), the menu reappears after a click.

  So I put the forgotten 'Super.onFocusNotify (focus)' call to the first line, and all things are working properly.

  Thank you
