  • Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

    In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

    I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

    Hello

    Microsoft does not include your vista recovery disks

    the manufacturer of the laptop is

    Contact the computer manufacturer 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 $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Why not Vista Home Basic or IE8 display images saved in saved, html pages after I change them?

    My system is Vista Home Basic and IE8.
    As an amateur, I often save Web pages with the content I want, then later in offline mode, I change the content of the Web page so that the party I want to keep. Often, the Web page contains an image, and when I want only the part of this picture, I change to delete unwanted parts. For example, I can only wish part of a radio chart.
    Vista Home Basic or IE8 will not display these edited images, jpg and gif. I can only record the image as a bitmap, which Vista Home Basic or IE8 will display, after having been edited.
    I tried to share the image with EVERYONE. I tried to share the webpage with ALL file.
    I don't know if this problem is of Vista Home Basic or IE8, but this IS Microsoft.
    Someone knows a way to solve this problem?
    What is one of the tools Microsoft neutered for the cheap Vista Home Basic?

    The painting seems to be the problem.  I had not heard of this problem with the paint before, but it is possible, that he has always been there.  At least you have a program that gives you a work around for the problem you may need to consider that your standard procedure (since there is no way to uninstall it and reinstall Microsoft Paint on its own to fix everything that could be bad if indeed there is one problem other than a stardard deficit in the program.  It is not a very sophisticated program, after all - but what you try to do should work as far as I know (he just apparently)).

    Maybe you can get more information in the Forum program: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/threads where people who specialize in Vista (like Microsoft Paint) additional programs will be more than happy to help you with your problem (if there is in fact a solution).

    I hope this helps.
