• If I do not have a windows vista sp2 install disk how can I erase all programs and files from the laptop?

  I would remove ALL of my laptop which is running vista Sp2 and I have not a disk to install it from what can do?

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer 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

  Original title: Lenovo SL500 Windows Vista crashed with STOP error message and won't start

  Hello peoples,
  I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
  Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
  Thanks in advance!

  PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

  PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

  EDIT: The error message went like this:

  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  Check for viruses on your computer. Remove the hard drives newly installed on the hard disk controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is configured and completed proeprly. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

  Technical information:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0X80599BB0, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

  Thanks for the billionth time!

• Can I use the Windows Vista I had with my Toshiba laptop on virtual machine?

  Hey all

  I have changed Microsoft for Macintosh, but installed on a virtual machine (oracle vm virtual machine) my Windows Vista I got with my Toshiba Satellite A350D Notebook previous. I installed Vista with the recovery disk. Now he asks me the Windows Vista product key. The sticker on the back of my laptop is more readable. I run the Belarc Advisor to get the product key in this way. But right now, he said: "it's the product key installed at the factory by the manufacturer rather than yours. You can change this to your product key here for Windows http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45668"

  My question: am I not allowed to use windows vista legally, I had with my computer toshiba laptop on other devices? I won't use the Thoshiba laptop. Do I have to delete the record from the Thoshiba laptop? Where can I get a new product key?

  Maybe someone can help me here. Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this.

  Betty

  Recovery disk or recovery image is designed for some cell phone only and is not a kind of universal image that can be used on other devices. It comes with the laptop.

  You can use the Microsoft Windows disk with valid license on each device. Recovery image is not only BONES. This is the package that contains the drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
  As you also know recovery image when you install it on your laptop must be turned on not so the license code downstairs just proves you have purchased a valid license with your laptop.
  > Should I remove the record of the Toshiba laptop?
  Not why do this?
  > Where can I get a new product key?
  You cannot get it because you need when you use the recovery image on your Satellite A300D. I think even you will hear of Toshiba.

• My valid copy of Windows Vista Edition full is telling that it is not authentic and that I have to pay to activate it.

  I have a legitimate copy of windows in my hand with 2 CD case then why must I activate the same windows product, I had on my computer for 2 years. First of all I did not change any material in my computer so you can't use that excuse. I bought so many windows products since windows 3.1 to windows 98 for the Millennium of the window, xp home and professional and vista ultimate and now you say I have to buy a new copy. I can't believe this. I'm so angry. Go ahead and treat me like that. Just because you have the money and have the market you don't think I'm capable of anything, it's fraud and ripping off a consumer and you know. You have no reason for me to activate my windows again. It's like the 3 times on the same computer ruined. I does not change a single piece of hardware, and you want to deny my activation. all I know is that better, solve you the problem. It's so bad. If I lose my personal accounts and subscriptions I pay online because my windows is not working properly you're going to pay for them.

  original title: what's your problem guys.

  According to the statement of 'Authentic' is concerned, be aware that any system that has not been activated (i.e. within the "grace period" will show as authentic except another problem.

  You should also check that the word "Authorized" appears in the 'License' tab, under the license status.

• Number of Windows Vista issues - updates of device driver error messages from host and error 0xC004D401 process.

  I have a number of questions at the moment and wonder if they are related between them and how to fix each one.

  1. I have sometimes received error: 0xC004D401 "an unauthorized change was made to windows" that force restart the laptop, then the same error comes up and force reboots and this loop until I force shutdown.
  2. I constantly get the message "host process for Services Windows has stopped working and was closed... ».
  3 - My Device Manager displays many symbols yellow exclamation point of 'error' of the brand that are appearing next to "Network adapters", Microsoft 6to4 adapt #13; Map Microsoft 6to4 #14; Map Microsoft 6to4 #3; Map Microsoft ISATAP #13; Microsoft ISATAP # 17 and card Microsoft ISATAP #18. I tried to "Update" of these device managers and looking for changes, but he keeps saying that everything is up to date...
  It's really frustrating because it affects my internet connection (wireless usb modem) and also the proper functioning of my laptop. At this point I could not even access my photo albums and document records they were no where!. My laptop is an Hp and everything just 2 years now and runs on Windows Vista.

  This type of error is often related to incompatible software. If this happened recently, you could try a system restore to an earlier time. Vista is up-to-date service pack?

  System Restore:

  Start > type 'restore' > search for system restore and choose a date. You can also check the programmes concerned.

  I have the Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E Vista Home Premium was pre installed on. I had to reinstall and borrowed A friends Dell CD. Nothing works right. How can I get the right programs for my Vaio

  Here are the General news for the recovery to factory settings:

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  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.

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

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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
