• Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

  Hello

  I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

  I downloaded the file .iso Windows Recovery (of size 120 MB), it burned down and tried to reinstall Windows. I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

  Thanks in advance

  This is NOT a Vista reinstall the drive, it's a record of STARTUP repair!

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition t put it back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  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, Acer is normally Alt + F10 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.

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

  Ask them if you can also make 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.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Windows Vista reinstall without disc, but I have a product key

  I did a system restore on my computer and I need to reinstall Vista on my computer.  I can't locate the disk, but I have the product code.  Can someone help me how to get Vista on my computer?  I need it as soon as POSSIBLE.  The classes are trolling.

  Your computer came with Vista recovery (usually on a different files
  partition). If so, usually, you can access the Vista reinstall mode by
  repeatedly pressing F11 or F12 during startup. Before that, be
  be sure to back up all the important files, emails, licensed applications and so on.
  because this process generally erases your disk delivered-to-factory

  Hello

  I have problems with communication wireless on my satellite A200-1SJ. When I swich on my Windows Vista early computer installing wireless network card drivers and the installation is not successful.

  I tried to install the latest drivers, but it does not help. In Device Manager its written as wan windows cannot load driver (code 31).
  The same problem is with the bluetooth adapter that does not work as well.

  Connectivity doctor say that any (LAN, Wlan) is swiched of when I am connected to the LAN and even information on missing bluetooth connectivity Doc.

  I tried to reinstal drivers and connectivity doctor, but it did not help.
  I would be grateful for all the help.

  Did you check that you have downloaded the latest drivers from this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com?
  I'm not sure of what causes this, but try to completely uninstall the wlan and bluetooth drivers, restart.
  Vista try to install them again?

  There may be a problem with your user account and you have not full admin rights. Try to log on as an administrator or create a new account using the privileges and do a reinstall of the drivers. Do this with the doctor of connectivity also. Could help.

• Windows Vista reinstall after a full format of the HARD drive!

  My younger brother accidentally formatted the entire hard drive he played in dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows. I have a Dell Optiplex 755 genuine Windows Vista Business Edition, I want to just reinstall Windows Vista, I got this computer from my cousin, I don't have any Installation disc, how I want to download Windows Vista?

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to send a set of recovery disks Vista reinstall Vista.

  They do it for a small fee.

  Also, look and see if you still have a recovery partition to reinstall Vista from.

  Read this:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Read also:

  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

• Windows Vista reinstall blocked to "expand the files (27%). »

  I have some problems with my PC main (on my laptop at this time) and decided after 3 years, time to reformat. From what I've heard supposed to be simple in vista, pop in the disc and click on reinstall windows. He grayed out button keep old files, but that was OK since I tried a clean install. then he went forward and said she'd keep everything in windows.old, fine, I'll just delete myself later.

  Anyway, I take reinstall, it goes through a reboot or two and gets to the Windows installation, extension files, I've been watching it for over an hour now and it has not exceeded (27%). Not sure what will happen if I force to restart now and try again. Please help and advise.

  Stats:

  p.s. It's 32-bit Vista Home Premium, the same disc that came with the computer in the first place, original vista without SP the disk.

  UPDATE:

  OK, once sitting around an another hourish in waiting for a response from the installation has puched from 27 percent and is now at 70%, heres hoping it continues, so for those of you who else having this problem, go see a movie, go back and hope it's worked.

  If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc (not an OEM disc and a recovery from Dell disk), then I can help you. If this isn't the case, you need to contact Dell, as is their recovery process and not from Microsoft and we have no information on its operation.

  Assuming you are using a real Dist Vista Installation, the installation obviously didn't at this point so you should cold shut down the system and reboot to restart the process.  Before that, I would clean the disc gently with a tissue from the Center to the edge to remove fingerprints or tasks that can cause the problem.

  When the option to format, choose full format rather than a quick format (just to make sure that it has nothing to do with the problem).

  Then try the re-installing and hope it works this time.  If it will not re - install from the disc, then try to find an another Vista Installation authentic drive of the same size of the bit to borrow and try.  If not, then press F12 immediately after pressing the Start button to access system diagnotics (at least this is how it works on my Dell - use whatever method works for your if you have installed the diagnostics program) and run all the options to see if it finds problems with your system (I hope not).

  If not, then contact Support technique Dell (if out of warranty a phone call can cost money, but I think that the chat option is free even after the warranty runs out and see if they have any suggetions to offer.)

  I hope this helps.

• Pavilion Dv4000: Windows 7 wireless driver help!

  Guys, I really need your figureing helps it to...

  My friends machine needed some TLC... so I formatted and reinstalled the Windows 7 operating system.

  I went to the HP support for pilots page and there are only drivers XP Win.

  In "Device Manager", it shows the following drivers requiring.
  
  Mass storage controller
  Multimedia Audio Controller
  Network controller
  Video controller

  The problem...

  I simply can't the wireless to work for love nor money!

  I downloaded and installed (a) different drivers for the wireless device. When they have been installed successfully, I'm supposed to be able to see a network to connect to diffuse all SSID wireless & Pick-up. I could not make it work! It worked once then stopped working again after it restarts as if this isn't retatining the driver for the wireless card. its really weird!

  

  Performed troubleshooting.

  • Downloaded the drivers for the wireless card and run them in compatibility mode (Win XP SP3) & installed.
  • Rebooted the machine. and the Wi - fi icon beside the clock has a red x through it, as it that the device is not enabled.
  • verified that the wifi was enabled. (what it was)
  • check that the pilot has been allowed within 'Device Manager' (it's still) drivers Displaying the "Intel 2200BG.
  • but still the Wifi symbol in the taskbar shows Red Cross or disabled marker on it.
  • Tried to install other Wifi drivers for the device of Intel 2200BG from other sites, including Intel. Restart, charges the driver installation (after removing the previous version) still nothing! same thing!
  • Tried to use the Intel utility to find the update and install the Wireless driver. (again same result).

  It seems that Windows 7 accepts the driver Intel Pro / Wireless 2200BG, but somehow somewhere to turn off the device in Windows 7.  How does it can disable a device but see that the device is installed and works unless you are a doubtful driver?

  Somehow, I managed to make it work for a while and connected to my wireless router. not a problem, then once the machine has been rebooted im at square one again!

  thinking that might be something wrong with the registry systems or material etc... I then

  • Formatted the hard drive again for the 2nd time.
  • Re-installed the card WiFi on the laptop, checked the connections were seated correctly
  • re-installed the operating system Windows 7 again.
  • before applying any other drivers on the system I tried to reinstall the driver from the HP website (just to remove it may be a conflict driver with another thing. yet once always the same thing.
    
    I spent hours on it now... and im at the point where I'm ready to run my friends laptop out the window and get extremely violent with her! I never met this before all the time, I played with computers. so I need someone to point out where im going wrong here. It's seriously making me crazy!
    
    I have attached a picture of this post, I hope that's clear enough for you to see that bar Wi - Fi symbol and the pilot agreed to "Device Manager".
    
    If anyone knows what drivers I can use for the rest of the devices, Audio, video (especially video and Wifi) and mass storage device would be much appreciated. There is still plenty of life in the old courbine of a machine and will make my boyfriend a good turn.
  • Someone please enlighten us on that until I lose the will to live!
  • Thanks in advance.

  You are the very welcome.

  I see that the multimedia audio controller device has been installed and that means you should have sound there.

  I already give you the driver for the mass storage controller (this is the card reader).

  Yes this is useful.

  The graphics in this model is not quite able to market Vista or W7.  Quite capable, I mean he can't run Windows Aero.

  There is that one driver in the world that has any chance of working for the graphics, it's this one... After installing this driver, you will be able to change the screen resolution and graphics acceleration is enabled.

  You must install it manually.

  Download and run this driver.  You will probably get an error not supported operating system.

  Conclusion of any windows error.

  Go to Device Manager and click on the video controller requiring driver.

  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and find the folder of the driver that was created when you ran the file.

  This file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34749.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected, and the driver should install.

  Reboot and the graphics should work just fine, but not Aero.

  Depending on the operating system, try following the steps under "Windows 7 or Windows Vista" or "Windows XP" in the MS KB article:

  These measures, to remove the UpperFilters and LowerFilters, values if they exist, in the registry key named can help.

  You can also copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save to a .reg file (save with the .reg extension and give a name like fixcd.reg):

  First create a system restore point, and then double-click the saved .reg file, add to the registry and restart the computer.

• Vista close without warning

  Lately my pc has been randomly close without warning.  It doesn't seem to be compatible on when he decided to "shut down".  I noticed that if I turn it on and just leave, so it seems that the time it takes to turn off is shorter.  But the time intervals are different each time.  If I turn it on and use a heavy application immediately (like Need for Speed) and it remains on 90% of the time without problem.  I tried a number of analyses of virus and so far nothing has much turned upward.  I checked my hardware and all is well.  There is a problem in the windows registry, virus, or vista is just corrupt.

  I am running:
  Vista Business SP2

• WiFi disabled in Windows Boot Camp 10, can not reinstall the driver

  Running an end of 2013 the MBP 15 "retina

  I got 10 Windows Boot Camp installed for more than a year without difficulty. But suddenly, my wifi doesn't work in Windows 10. He could see networks and said it was connected, but it has never been an internet connection.

  Assuming that it was the result of an update, I

  1 uninstalled all Windows regular updates that I can

  2. uninstalled the Broadcom driver

  3 downloaded the last Boot Camp Assistant WSS and installed

  But now I can't reinstall a driver for the Broadcom card! I tried to install WSS, but the network card remains in my device without a driver manager. So I tried to install the individual installation files in the folder of Broadcom. Still did not work. I even tried to extract all files Broadcom installation and manual installation of all the drivers. Windows 10 seems to recognize that the "ac" driver is the right, but always tells me that the driver installation failed without giving details.

  What else can I try?

  At your facility in W10 a W7/W8.1 update?
