  Hello

  1st thing to try is the system in safe mode restore to before the problem

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  read the tutorial below

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/130095-user-profile-service-failed-logon-user-profile-cannot-loaded.html

  When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

  The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215#letmefixit

  Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947242

  If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  and if you need to reinstall vista, here are the different ways to do it:

  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 $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  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

• My laptop did not come with Media Player 12.

  I have a HP Pavilion DM1 and it did not come with Windows Media Player 12. Or any other media thing. He is nowhere to be seen. I tried to get a download link.

  I tried clicking on the download link for Windows K and KN, but it came up saying: "this update is not applicable to your computer. Windows Media Player 11 did nothing. Please help me. And please don't tell me to download other software media. Thank you.

  Hello JoeHopewell,

  See if you have enabled the Windows Media Player.
  1. go to start and in the search type "Turn Windows willing or not.
  2. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
  3. find the multimedia functions and check the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
  4 restart the computer

  You can also check to see if you have enabled Windows Media Center as well.

  Now, go to start, all programs. You must have Windows Media Player in the list of programs.

  Please let me know if it helps.

• Brand new laptop does not come with disks of windows, I need to reinstall windows what/where/how do I?

  I bought 2 new laptops. Both come with Windows already... so, if I need to reinstall windows... How/where/can do?

  Hello

  For future reference, these are VISTA forums you want on the new laptops in.

  I suggest other questions about these laptops you ask in the correct Forums.

  Here are the General options of relocation for you:

  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.

  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.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  See you soon.

• How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

  My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

  Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

• My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal?

  Hello

  My Hp Pavilion laptop 2244sa g6 does not come with the product key for windows8. Is this normal? I can't see it anywhere, should I worry?

  Some laptops, like my Envy 17-3002ea loan, have the certificate of authenticity Windows hidden in the compartment where the hard drive and the battery are.  First try.

  Other portable latest and which may include yours, have the Windows license key encrypted in the BIOS.  There is a thread on the Microsoft communities that verifies that. The thread is worth reading.

  Please, do not type in uppercase.  It is considered "shouting" in the forums.  We already know your issue is important to you or you him would have not posted in the first place.

  Recovery discs are available for the copy of Windows installed initially on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is printed on the COA sticker on your computer?  You can order a recovery disc for this edition of the manufacturer of the computer.  If your windows is an upgrade, you will need to find the upgrade dvd.

• My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

  I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

  When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

  A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

  If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.
