The original appearance for Windows Vista
I downloaded registry mechanic and some how my original appearance of Windows Vista has disappeared. My appearance now looks like I got Windows 95. I would be very happy if someone could help it. I did everthing I could change. I don't see the original appearance.
NEVER use Registry cleaners.
Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me
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.
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.

Multiple downloads of the same update for Windows Vista HP
Could Hello, please someone help? I've had no luck so far with the Microsoft support line.
On October 13 and 14, I got 10 downloads of updates to MS came on my computer whenever I turned it on and outside - in total 19 times for each download for about a week. He seems to have stopped now, but it is now constantly try to configure something - whenever I turn on it tries to do it but then past my welcome screen and whenever I turn off the phone it tell me also if you can download a update that always fails to load. I searched an error code - 800 b 0100 - and tried a fix - KB3093983 I think. In addition, the machine seems to be freezing intermittently, once I'm in.
Dowloads/updates that appears 19 times in my updates are history - some of them anyway - KB3085544, KB3085618, KB3080446, KB3093513, KB3094996, BK3097966, KB3088195.
I don't know what to do - find out if I have a virus somewhere - not show on my antivirus, if I should try to uninstall 18 19 updates, if I should disable the automatic refresh for the moment, etc..
Any notice received with gratitude. You will probably be able to tell from my language/mistakes here that I am very untechy then please also patronizing that you like - the simpler the better.
Thank you very much in anticipation. Sara
I'm sure that you see the effects of an ongoing infection & probably to long date of a certain type. (Yes, there are infections the scanners can't detect.)
As if that wasn't enough, my other concerns include:
- The fact that the most recent (i.e., 13 Oct-15) for Internet Explorer Cumulative security update is not installed. [Do not know how many cumulative updates you miss but I suspect his way more than just a].
- The fact that IE8 has never been installed, AND the fact that the sine qua non updates for IE9 have never been installed. [12 Jan-16, IE7 & IE8 will allow more be supported.]
- The fact that the two published 2½ & 4 years critical security updates were installed only a day or two ago.
- Your misguided use of registry cleaners.
In view of the foregoing...
The computer must NOT be connected to the internet [regardless of the browser you are using] or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All business & personal data (including passwords online banking & credit) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
OPTION A: Trash of all your data (for example, all emails; contents of the My documents folder etc), format the hard drive and then do a clean install of Windows Vista (or pay someone mucho buckos to do it for you).
OPTION B: Buy a whole new (e.g., Win7;) WIN8.1; Computer Win10) & move on your life. [Yes, computers with Win7 preinstalled are always available - but.] I suspect, not much longer.]
Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

Hello
I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)
