  You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

  Here is the information about HP.

  If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

  If HP's Vista recovery disks, 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:

• Unable to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  My problem is that I can't run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility (WICU). I'm wanting to run what I install iTunes. I get an error that I don't have permissions to change the text.

  Thanks for the reply.

• Windows Vista updates (12 April 2010) broke all the desktop shortcuts

  On 13 April, I fist notice this problem. I managed to it is resolved according to restore my computer to a previous point prior to the windows vista update have been installed. I didn't create a new restore point and also forgot to uncheck "automatic installation of windows. A few days later, the same problem after updates have been installed again on April 15. Unfortunately, this time I don't have a restore point previous April 15. So, I restored it on next day 16, but not resolved the issue. So I uninstall all vista windows update installed on April 15 but did not help either.

  Fortunately it affects only an admin user (user account that run windows update) all users are very well.

  Any suggestions to solve this problem, much appreciated.

• during the windows vista pack 2 update my antivirus will become obsolete?

  during the windows vista pack 2 update my antivirus will become obsolete?

  Hi victor,

  It would be useful to know the name and the version of the antivirus program that you use. However, in general (and frankly I can't think an exception) upgrade Vista SP1 to SP2 will not make your out-of-date antivirus.  In fact, it will improve the overall security of your system.  But just to be on the good side, I suggest that you update your AV software once you have completed the upgrade to SP2 and installed all the additional Windows updates which will become available once you do this (and you may need to run a few times to get everything as some may be presented until others have been installed).

  If you want suggestions of security software, please post your version of Vista (e.g., 32-bit Vista Business) as well as the names and versions of any software security you are currently using or have used or had installed even if you've never used (and when the definitions for the software in use have been updated).  These suggestions will be excellent and work well together (even if you can not install two AV programs at the same time, these are not all the AV programs but still aid in the detection and removal of malware, viruses and spyware.  And they are all completely FREE - nothing we suggest will not cost you even a penny and that they will be as good if not better that people pay money to get the bits.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
