• Order the system Vista Home Premium discs.

  I bought a Toshiba Satelite laptop about 9 months, ago and never got around to order Microsoft system disks.  Now I want to upgrade my RAM to 4 GB and try the 64 bit version which should be available on the disks in the factory.  Now, I can't find anything on the windows site on the order of the original disks, only upgrades to different versions of Vista and Win 7.  So I guess my question is, can someone please point me to a page or section of the site to order disks Vista system?
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You do not get them from Microsoft.

  And as your Vista system is preinstalled, it is classified as an OEM license and that you are not eligible for the 64-bit Media (shipping offer)

  Permit only right retail 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

  Contact Toshiba for your recovery disks:

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista home Premium, but I don't have it on the disc, I got a serial number.

  I've upgraded to windows 7, the upgrade requires a previous version of windows must be installed before it can be used.

  When I installed the upgrade first, it worked perfectly, unfortunately I do not have a set of recovery discs before upgradeing from Vista to 7 (stupid I know!).

  I bought the components to upgrade my PC and want to reinstall windows, but cannot without Windows Vista Home Premium disc, and I can't find anywhere to download them, or find someone willing to let me copy their discs (I only need a copy discs, I have my own serial number).

  True to form, I also forgot to make disks of backup to my laptop before it got a virus (edition windows Home premium), feeling very stupid.

  If anyone knows where I can get copies of these discs, it would releive a lot of stress.

  That you have a legable Vista product key, then use these installation files to make a .iso and then bootable DVD/USB as shown here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/Microsoft-Windows-and-Microsoft-Office-downloads.aspx

  This will install Windows Vista with the activation of the phone. Note using your Windows 7 update product key directly with the good Windows 7 .iso file directly should work and you should not need to install Vista. You can, or perhaps not to activate by phone.

  No, for two reasons:

  1. the rule is quite clear. It is a copy (or a license) for each
  computer.

  There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
  effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

  2. even if you have uninstalled it from your wife's computer, you might not
  Install it on your. If it came with the computer of your wife, it is an OEM
  copy and license to get an OEM copy permanently it binds to the first
  It is installed on the computer. It can never be moved to another.

  Can someone help

  Hello

  Sorry do you need exactly? Do you need disc recovery Toshiba or d you must have Microsoft Vista disk?

  The serial key you found at the bottom of the unit belongs to the preinstalled Windows operating system and will NOT work by using different Windows disks.

  You have two options;

  There is no other solution.

  How to make a windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installation disk?  I have my product key. Or where can I get one?

  Hello

  There are different methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, eMachines and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  http://www.eMachines.com/EC/en/us/content/home

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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.

  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.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Pls help: using Windows DVD (& Vista Home Premium) - can I burn more than a 'slide show' on a single DVD disc?

  I use DVD Maker (& Vista Home Premium).  Can I burn more than one slideshow on a single DVD disc?

  I saved 3 different 'projects', each has 10-15 images.
  When I use the screen 'Add items' to try and add these 3 different projects on my DVD I wind up just with a great slide show, which has 30-40 pictures in.
  What I want on this DVD is a separate slide show for each of the 3 projects.
  So can I implement a Menu of this DVD, which allows me to choose which of the 3 projects (slide shows) that I want to watch?
  Can I do this?  If so, how?
  Thank you!!!

  ==========================================
  It's a matter of time.

  Save each project in the. Film WMV format. Then you can import
  the three films in DVD Maker files and each of them will be a chapter...
  This way, you will have a menu.

  Once the DVD-video is encoded you cannot add additional files
  the DVD.

  If you need information on how to save... validate your version of Movie Maker.

  Had clips to make a diagnosis and PC tune-up. Apparently everything was fine, until I refused to let them upgrade my Pavilion dv2000 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7. Don't know what they did, but now I get a black screen and cannot access the laptop at all. Is there a cure?

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Hello

  You can't reinstall Vista on a recovery partition you have installed another operating system

  read this:

  Solve a common problem of recovery.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  ________________________________________________________

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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 $

  you say, that they will not!

• My E drive stopped reading CD/DVD. I have a desktop compaq with Vista Home Premium w / all service packs downloaded. My E drive doesn't recognize any disc in the drive.

  Hello

  Check with the support of Compaq, their online documentation and drivers and their forums for
  known issues.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• 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.

• disc clean up on vista Home premium

  I use disk clean at least 4 times a week on vista Home premium, but deleted files called back

  Don't forget not, even if clean you a file, usually, new items will be added in this file - you can not clean once and hope that it stay like that.  After using disk cleanup, empty the trash to see if that helps to keep the files back (if they are back - are you sure that they are the same files or that new copies because you have visited the same web sites or similar activities).  Post some examples of files that are 'back' so that I can see if there are any model.  Check after cleaning to make sure they're really gone (I want to rule out the possibility that the process does not work)?  Which boxes you check when do you cleaning disc (so I don't know what types of files are potentially return)?

  If you do that frequently, we can set it up as a scheduled task so it becomes automatic and you don't have to do it manually every time.  If you are interested, let me know and I'll post the modalities of implementation of a task in Task Scheduler.

  Thank you.  Once I have your answer, I'll see if I can understand what is happening or what to do next.

• What type of DVD backup disc is good for instance RW + used on Windows Vista Home Premium?

  I need to know if I can back up my drive (E :) with RW + 16 x 4.7 GB 120 min?  Is this one image the plant to recover and restore on my personal computer?  Also when I use Microsoft Security Essentials and run a scan completes or a quick analysis what percentage of the CPU can I put on the value for my computer? I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  I moved your post to the Windows forum.

  Regarding the parameters of MSE, leave it at the default value, which is not checked unless you want to perform an analysis using the PC for something else. Limit maximum CPU available at MSE (it won't use it all the time during scanning) allows you to continue to use the PC more comfortably. When countered, if an analysis is performed while you also want to do something else, the PC may seem quite insensitive.
