Where can I find a store that will sell me a disc of Windows Vista?

For the love of pete, I spent the last hour trying to find a place that sells the Vista operating system! This is getting ridiculous!

original title: WHERE can I GET a DISK of the VISTA OPERATING SYSTEM?

Why is - this ridiculous that you can't find support for an operating system that is not sold by the manufacturer more?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/get
"Microsoft sells more than Windows Vista, although we will continue to support."

Contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM - like Dell, HP, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) for your computer system and see if they can send you a replacement DVD.  They will probably charge you a small fee.  They also can only provide you with a set of restore/recovery - not a real installation DVD.

What happened to * your * DVD to install it with?  You still have your product key?  You copy the product key and put him in a safe place (should be accompanied by a copy of your original DVD of Windows Vista)?  What about your applications?  What your backups?

You can still find out there - but if you already have a license - it would be stupid to buy most of what you might find (as it would be another license product key /.)

Find a friend, a member of the family or a - best bet - a nice computer scientist willing to help out you.  Someone you KNOW however.  Let them know which edition of Windows Vista and what type (OEM, retail) as well as the architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

    Hello brownysmom,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:

    • Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    • Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

    • File Picture: .bmp, DIBs, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff and .wmf

    You can also import files into Windows Movie Maker that have a different extension of those shown above, but not all types of files do not work when you try to use them to make a movie.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Where can I find RAID drivers that I must apply for 8 Windows Installer?

    I have a hp pavilion ultrabook 14-b112eo and after raids on hard drives, I provide the 8 Windows install with drivers RAID. I looked at this page:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5359921&...

    who provides the drivers for my laptop, but I can't find appropriate other than those. Any ideas?

    Hello:

    They can be found in the Intel RST driver file (under storage in the link you posted).

    You can also get them from the link below (first file listed).

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22676&ProdId=2101&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%208 * & DownloadType=.

    The RAID driver for your model that is necessary, must be the controller Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID.

    I do not understand why W8 for these drivers. I thought they would be already included.

  • I can't find Add-ons that will be disabled when I update to Firefox 11.0

    I received a message from the installer that four of my extensions will be disabled when I install Firefox 11.0. I tried to find these updates of the extension, but could not.

    The XULRunner extension is seen as a malware, so you probably better should remove this extension of your current configuration.

    Java Console extensions are not necessary.

    You only need the extension of the Java Console (Tools > Modules > Extensions) If you want to check and debug Java applets.

    You can uninstall and remove extensions of the Java Console, you do not need to run Java applets.

    See:

    There should be an update to the Norton toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 11 (do not know Firefox 12 which will be released in the coming days, probably tomorrow, for some limited users.

  • Where can I find the favorites that I removed in Firefox...

    When I did it with IE, they were in the trash... but those that I deleted from my bookmards in FF is not there... where are they located? I want to restore it...

    If you've accidentally deleted bookmarks, then use "organize > Cancel ' in the Bookmark Manager (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) to get back them.

    Hold the button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the library (Bookmark Manager).

    That only works if you have not closed Firefox.

    If it does not work so that you can restore bookmarks from a JSON backup.

    This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose the favorites that have been added since the backup was created.
