  I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and my hard drive died.  I need to reinstall windows, but have no disk.  I have a valid product key for Vista Home Pemium.  How can I get this drive?  Acer sells not more the disc for this model.

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  As Acer does not have them, you have 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.

• Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc

  Hello

  I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP.  Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem).  So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.

  I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.

  My question is:

  If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.

  Thanks for your help

  Evereti

  Hi Evereti,

  You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

• Satellite L350: Vista doesn't work anymore - LogonUI.exe - corrupted file

  Security Suite updates on my daughters Toshiba Satellite L350 windows vista the operating system no longer works.
  An error was detected on the system that contains the following message.

  Open a session about UI.exe - corrupted file
  File or directory C/Program ~ 1 / Toshiba/Smart face V is corrupt & unreadable.

  I tried to run a system restore to the last configuration on both computers, but always the same problem exists. I also tried to restore the two laptops to the factory settings, but the system still does not work. I don't have a restore disk as disk Toshiba HARD drive recovery is on the laptop.

  Can someone help me or suggest any way I can fix it both of these laptops. It seems very strange that both of these computers have stopped working at the same time according to windows automatic updates in October 09.

  Thank you Gary

  Hello

  AFAIK the LogonUI.exe is responsible for connecting to the Windows operating system.
  If the exe file is corrupt then you won't be able to connect to the operating system.

  You don t the recovery disk but you have the HARD drive on the second partition recovery this may be your last resort.

  Switch on and press F8. Choose fix my computer.
  Then new window appears offering the option called: HARD drive recovery.

  Choose this option and see if you can start the HDD recovery procedure.

  I have a system of 3 GB/500 GB HD in Inspiron 530 Dell, Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I need to restart more frequently and the system works more slower and slower... so I think the upgrade.  Can I move to a 64 bit OS in Windows 7 or 8 and keep the same hardware and software, applications that I already like Office 2007, Photoshop Elements, etc... ?  What are the benefits to 64-bit?

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.
