• my computer at home base down loaded /my computers certificate of authinticity says I am having windows vista Home premium and I have no disc what do I doto fix the problem in windows vista

  my computer has windows vista basic on it when I went to athinticate, he told me it was a pirate down load that I looked on the bottom of my lap top and I am supposed to have windows vista Home premium. How can I solve this problem with a disc

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

  They should do this for a small fee.

  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 change the Boot order in BIOS:

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

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

  See if you have a recovery Partition:

  There may be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Vista to how you bought your computer, unless the pirated installation wiped.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  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.

  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.

  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

• Have to reboot windows vista Home premium, but I have no recovery disk. What can I do?

  I bought my computer in January Circuit City and as part of the purchase, they installed windows vista and other programs such as Norton Internet Security. Recently, my system has been "acting" and the folks at Symantec tell me I can get a worm who slipped in front of the protections. Because this worm was now hidden from detection and very probably damaged my registry files, they suggested I have reformat my system and reinstall all of the BONE upward. I searched through the discs that I got with my pc and I have everything EXCEPT the OS! Whats is worse because their people installed, I have the product identification code, but I think that there is another code for validation that I did not. Circuit City is out of business now and I don't know what to do. I know that my currently installed copy of vista is genuine, but what I need to know is that if there is a way I can reinstall vista on my pc without having to buy another copy?

  Hi lxlthr,

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  Please check under your laptop or your desktop to locate a sticker with the product key for Windows Vista.  If they exist, you can probably use another copy of Vista to install, without making a purchase, a new product key.  If they are not located on this computer or anywhere you can find, then you need to get a different product key to reinstall the operating system.

  Note: Formatting the hard drive will erase all data, programs and user settings you have on the computer. If there is no information on this computer and you don't want to lose, or is not guaranteed, you will need to make backups before proceeding with the INSTALLATION of FORMAT / CLEAN.

  Hope this helps,

• Display problem of links 2003 with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I just got a new office to replace my 6 1/2 years and am all migrant to the course. The new computer
  CyberPowerPC is: Intel I7 3.07 ghz, 6 GB triple channel ram, dual 500 GB HDs and Sapphire ATI HD 4870 1 video.
  I have migrated almost anything and almost everything works, including some games of the 1990s (original Unreal Tournament, etc.)
  A game that is driving my crazy is Links 2003 (v1.05). When I run the game, on the start screen, it says "3D Graphics".
  by ATI Radeon HD 4800 ". However, when I go into the graphics settings, the adapter box is empty. Using the drop down.
  I select my ATI Radeon 4800 Series card.  I can get the error message: "your ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series is not responding.
  Requirements minimum links. The software rendering engine will be used instead.  WHAT?  My old system uses an ATI X 1650
  video card that is not 1/4th the graphic power of my new card and it works fine.  I tried the latest version of the video driver
  from ATI (catalyst v9.6), which is what works on the old computer. I've also restored to v9.3, that does not work.
  I know it must be possible to run Links 2003 on Vista, because it is running on my laptop HP DV - 9550 T lan party, which is also
  Vista Home Premium SP2 running. The HP laptop with a Nvidia 8600 M GS video chipset, once again, no where near as
  powerful that my new card 1 GB ATI HD 4870.  What is going on?  Is there a registry hack that I can do to force the Links 2003
  to use my new card?  I contacted ATI/AMD and Sapphire, and they are both as baffled as I.  Help, please!
  cooncat at gmail point com

  I found a resolution.  There was a patch for this game released last year, June 2008. It's
  version 1.07.  After you apply the patch, the game works perfectly... in fact, better than
  never before, because there are new features.  Patch is available at:

• Unable to start boot corrupted files Windows Vista Home premium

  Hello all recently I got my hands on an old Toshiba laptop Satellite I'm supposed to have attachment to a friend, however, she doesn't remember the password for the laptop so I searched for ways to circumvent the password and delete it however, I ran into a major problem, according to the wiki site , how you put in a family of Windows Vista installation disc premium, you select your country and all that say before you install is a repair of your computer, but I can't so I thought well maybe if I hit install that it will recognize that there are already Windows Vista on the computer however to my dismay that it did not so I canceled the installation but now the computer does not even boot into Vista at all he'll just do Startup Repair whenever whenever it starts "Windows loading files" I already tried several things the bootrec command using command prompt without success, I tried to restore the master boot record by using the command-line without success either, here are the details as seen from the Startup Repair tool: signature of the problem GREATER TOMBENT AUTO there is also one that says corrupt boot configuration data and who says fix partition table I look it up online that I mean who is the code which is the ID of locale 1033 I looked up the exact problem this forum and he said if there is the disconnect a USB connected the problem with that is there is no USB device connected. To clarify what I said earlier about wiki, how what I tried to do initially was put in the trunk of installation disk from the CD in the environment of the installation, then click on repair your computer so that I could use CMD to reset the password online, I have seen that you can change the keys to self-retaining pull up of CMD by modifying the ease of access button but I thought that it would be easier because I don't have to understand how to fix the ease of access button after I did. So now I am at a loss as to what I could do next to important things to note that this computer doesn't have system restore points stored on it so it is not an option if you do not understand something please let me know and thank you for your suggestions. PS I will try a disk check, now that I think of it.

  Hello all I was able to restore the computer back in working order without password, I did however have download and burn a copy of Vista Home premium at my discretion. But I use the product key legally reactivate Windows Vista Home premium but I have to say that the search for the driver for this laptop has not been easy, especially the pilot Wi - Fi that I had to go

  burn it to a disk, and then install the software in this way. I really don't know not how I got the display driver correct because I downloaded the driver two booster and then the next minute it was display driver just because I checked on the user manual on Toshiba.com and it was the correct an Intel 3000 graphics thank you all so much for your help and I hope this helps someone else :-)

• Vista Home Premium: Startup time and office flaws often requiring the log off / log on to Correct

  At all to being able to help solve these problems successfully:

  When I bought my office, it came preloaded with Win XP (a FANATASTIC/s o!) with an installation disc free for Vista Home Premium. I have installed Vista until recently due to support XP being more available.

  Problems currently on a regular basis (every reboot) are:

  (1) long startup (sometimes nearly 10 minutes)

  (2) the "Blacktop" (AERO) Vista appears generally "gray" (like Win Classic) but with VERY little
  Services (icons missing, unable to run diagnostic programs, etc.).

  In this situation, I usually 'Log Off' and 'Connect' again and it fixes the problem-"bitumen".
  is back with the functions of the al. Despite this, I'll restart desktop using Services.msc. for all the functions

  are available.

  System information:

  (A) AMD 64 Athlon 3500 + (2.20 GHz)
  (B) 3.00 GB RAM
  (C) Vista 32 Bit (SP1 and SP2 installed (all updates current)
  (D) ATI Radeon XPress 200 Series (current driver)
  (E) all drivers are current (no changes required)
  (F) update BIOS (not not required)

  Note:

  (1) I am the user ONLY if the 'Default' options are regularly 'Log In' (as admin) - no guest accounts, etc.

  (2) I reduced some Desktop effects, which are not necessary (Menu Fade in and out, etc.) according to

  instructions of MSFT community on how to do this and what is safe to disable. This helped a little
  and I don't miss these features.

  (2) I deleted the "Windows.old" folder (as there was nothing to add to the Vista o/s).

  (3) I have NOT deleted the Partition which was part of the Win XP System Restore feature as)
  "I don't know if I should as well as to think that I should keep this system offline and running XP).

  (4) I use a security program that securely wipes deleted data, cache password, etc..
  Under Win XP, there was the possibility of "Protect Restore Points" (not required for Vista).
  I do NOT use the option "delete shadow copies".

  My questions are:

  (A) what is the cause of the boot extended both office and how to tackle it successfully?

  (B) what is the problem with the desktop computer? I don't mind the Log in and out a lot but would like to get rid
  me of this disadvantage.  I would like TO have the Vista boot WITHOUT having to Log in and out to

  ensure that the AERO desktop is available and functional.

  (C) should I delete the files and restore Partition in Win XP? Is this the cause may be a conflict with
  Vista? Also, please let know us if you think it would be better to keep these files available if no
  conflicts are possible or probable.

  (D) what is the path, the file name or folder (path if necessary) which governs the entire desktop
  (startup, appearance, services, etc.). so I can enter my security software to exclude it from
  be affected?

  Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

  Incidentally - for all owners of Scanner Epson 1200U running Vista Service Pack 2:

  YES! Successfully, you CAN install and run this scanner on Vista with the EPSON Twain 5.53 driver without twisting your registry, etc.

  Steps to follow:

  (1) download the file of v5.53 (10245.exe) driver TWAIN Epson

  2) extract to the folder (default location or a location of choice) and open the folder

  (3) right click on the "Setup.exe" file, go to properties and set the compatibility to Win XP SP-2

  (4) run the configuration file and wait for Windows Vista to give up the search on the web, ignore the 'warning' when he

  comes to the top and connect the scanner to complete installation as you did under Win XP (or earlier versions)

  NOTE: You will have to wait a long TIME for the next window appears once complete Vista

  research on the web. It seems that the reason why a lot of Vista with the Epson 1200U Scanner users are

  running out of patience, that it was my problem-so, the Eureka moment happened!

  My camera works great! The only loss is you open TWAIN in the application, is not
  automatically start more. This may be fixable, but I'm glad it works and I don't know enough to make the necessary changes in the registry, etc.

  Thanks again for your help!

• Swap from 32-bit to 64-bit Vista Home Premium DVD

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv5-1009tx Entertainment delivered PC preloaded with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. The PC is still under warranty. I want to trade the 32-bit Vista Home Premium which is already installed on the PC with 64-bit Vista Home Premium. For this I would need the 64-bit Vista DVD from HP. Can someone tell me what is better, easier and faster way to get the DVD? I don't want to download torrents etc., because you never know what are the files in them have been tempered with and you can end up installing.

  Thank you!

  I have 4 GB RAM installed on this laptop. Currently, only 3.2 GB (approx.) is used. The only reson to install a 64 bit OS is to use all 4 GB of RAM. I run Virtual Machines on this laptop for test and training and to be able to use the full amount of RAM would allow me to run virtual machines very comfortably, without getting errors that your system is low on memory.

  The speed and performance of this laptop on a 32 bit OS is pretty good. But as mentioned above, it would be good to use what you have.

  I have finally manged to get the correct information from HP. They called from their Sydney office and was told that for this particular model, is a 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS pre-loaded on my laptop. They ship not this laptop with a 6-bit version of Vista Home Premium OS, so there is no recovery disk. The only option of 64 bit with this HP laptop is Vista Ultimate, for which I have to buy a license.

  So ultimately it information, getting the right information at the right time, otherwise you might end up you are looking for the right things in the wrong places. (It took me 3 times to chat with someone online, called several times HP Service Center, Technical Support, and finally the Service Center people did someone call me Office in Sydney).

• Full backup of the system - Vista Home Premium

  I need to create a full backup of the system on a new hard drive external.  But the backup and restore apparently recognizes that I have backed up before an old man, is no longer available, external hard drive.  If it's only to create a very small file (2G) - apparently the data that has changed since I last saved - and not the complete system (~ 110GB).  How can I create a new full backup of the system? I use Vista Home Premium.  TIA, Bill

  Vista Home Premium doesn't have a backup of the computer capabitities. To Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise.
