Not really new. Millions of people have undergone this type of scam, claiming to come from their supplier, their bank or PayPal. People also get phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft, asking them to give the appellant access to their machine. It's all fraudulent.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    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 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.

  • Windows Live Photo Gallery causes the error Code: 0 x 80010108

    I have a desktop XPS 8500 running Windows 7.  Love it except for one thing: Windows Live Photo Gallery causes the error Code: 0 x 80010108.  Yes, I x it down and go ahead and use my computer but like it to stop.  I have google code and there are a number of fixes called there for him - even though they claim.  But I was reluctant to download anything on sites I don't necessarily trust OR conform to change my registry to fix it.  Can someone recommend a cure to my problem?  I have confidence in this forum for more than 12 years and feel that you will not recommend something that might get me in trouble.

    Thank you

    Hi Bessie,

    Thanks for the reply. I suggest you to uninstall Windows Live Essentials from the computer and update to the latest version. You can download it from the link http://bit.ly/GQ9tPI . Please disconnect all the external devices connected to the computer (printers, external hard drives, flash drives) and do not have any CD/DVD in the drive while following the steps.

    Answer please if you have any questions.

    I can't send or receive emails from Windows Live Mail. Receive the error code 4402. I can send and receive emails from my Windows Live hotmail account. In Windows Live Mail, it also says my server is an http / imap server. Can it be replaced by a pop3 server, so, how? Thank you

    Hello jabeena, welcome.

    This section would apply in fact to the Windows Live programs, but we'll see what we can do to help out you.

    I recommend to try this first:

    1. disable any antivirus software or security, you have running on your computer. Looking for software to disable that contains a firewall.

    2. click on START
    3. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    4 type the following and press enter

    Regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

    5. then type the following command and press enter

    netsh winsock reset

    6. restart your computer and see what happens.
