  original title: lost document

  I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?

  If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

• Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Hey guys,.

  I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

  I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

  Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

  So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

  And if not, how can I fix?

  Thank you. :)

  Hi cripple.

  Thank you for your message.

  Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

  How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

  What is a wireless keyboard?

  If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

  I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

  You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

• Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.

  I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.  I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.

  Hello

  With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

  It is an option in Windows 7.

  And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

  Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

  In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

• Initial full Vista installation failed, shows 2 installs of Windows Vista from starting.

  Second installation was successful, but the installation failed initial always appears at startup upward. At a complete loss to know where to find entries that say my system there are 2 installs of Windows Vista. When launched the CD to 'view' where this "alternate" install is shows unknown HDD to address 0 w a lack of disk space. Of course, it is more than likely that only some files in the registry or the system "ask" that there is a current installation. Where can I find these to remove them? Have not found anything on any forum re: this issue. TYVM<3!>

  I see that a "MVP" edited the title of the question, but it did NOT reflect what the question. Please leave the full question in the title of the post. My problem is not a simple installation of 'failure '. I just want to find out where the entries are which are originally to show 2 Windows Vista o/s when I 'start' my computer when there are 'only' real installation. Note: I have two we HARD a WinXP Pro, the other Vista disks. At the start, it shows "Versions of Windows" and then Windows Vista and finally Windows Vista again. The non-existing o/s installation failed is the 3rd entry.

  Modify the boot.ini file to remove the installation failed (make sure that you remove the right pair) or in msconfig, check the boot paths

• How to lose an original cd of windows Vista Home Basic

  Hello
  3 years ago, I bought a pc that has windows Vista Home Basic installed in it, I lost the original cd of windows Vista Home Basic.
  but I have a copy of the original cd when I try to install to copy (with original key)
  I get message 'your operationg system is not genuene'.i bought original cd with laptop lenova so how to get the original CD.

  Hello

  Here are the different ways 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

• trying to do a clean installation of windows vista by using the dvd

  I am trying to simply destroy my computer and start clean using the reinstall DVD supplied with my dell PC. It has windows Vista Home Basic on it. When I put the DVD in its loading and a window pops up asking if I want to install and I press Yes. After a while a box appears that says I don't have enough storage for temporary files. He needs so many megabytes of free space on a partition to be able to load the disc. the problem is that I have NOTHING on the computer, there should be more sufficient storage space! How can I get the DVD to run?

• 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:

  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.
