• I have two Acer ASpire laptops. They are totally frozen because of the virus. I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement. I have to rebuild my laptop.

  I have two Acer Aspire laptops.  They are totally frozen because of the virus.
  I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement.
  I have to rebuild my laptop.

  Hello

  No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

  If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

  All data are lost when you do the above.

  And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

  They do that for a small fee:

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• create dvd Windows will not import the mp4, how to get around it, someone knows?

  create dvd Windows will not import the mp4, how to get around it, someone knows?

  It must convert your mp4 to WMV format video, and then add the wmv in Windows DVD Maker.

  There are other formats supported by Windows, but I chose WMV format because it is the most reliable and foolproof format for Windows.

  You can google for a free video converter. No need to buy one, unless you are a 'huge' in the making of films and others.

  I use Prism video converter. It's free.

  I'm not fan of movie maker. Prism is what I need it to do.

  Are you talking about changing the language of Hindi?  If the language you want does not appear in the optional updates in Windows Updates, then you can buy a copy of Windows in the language you want and reinstall Windows.  You can not upgrade.  You will need to do a clean install.

  Is it possible to install a device to a Windows Vista-based computer when you can get Windows 98 drivers for the device?

  # You have need Vista compatible drivers - it's the only way it will work.  Installing bad drivers can even to hurt the unit or even your system to not try.  Get a new USB device that works with Vista, and has the correct drivers.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How to get around a fake "cannot read itunes library.itl?

  I have a Windows 7 laptop I want to back up the same on a Windows laptop 8.  Should I bring all the files on the Windows 7 laptop to Windows 8 laptop computer including my music/itunes and program/itunes files.  It has worked for years.  All of a sudden I get a message when you go to itunes on the laptop computer of Windows 8 that say 'cannot read itunes library.itl because it was created by a different version.'  This is different from the case referred to the support forum where people want to deliberately use an earlier version of itunes.  I want to use on the laptop Windows 7 and Windows 8 for the latest version of itune laptop.  To make sure that I have request for updates on two laptops from itunes and received responses that I already have the latest version installed on two laptops.  I can access itunes on the Windows 7 laptop, but not Windows Mobile, 8.  How to get around this indication false error on my laptop Windows 8?   I have the latest version and the itunes and all files have been created using the most recent version.

  You have identical versions of iTunes on both machines?  The two latest updates of iTunes (12.3.3, 12.4.0) have included both updates of database for the latest library files can only be read by older versions.

  How are you "Portage" your library data?  The error message may indicate a corrupt library file.

  Also note that you should not try to replicate the folder iTunes program between computers - there is a high risk that the results will be unpredictable, especially since you're moving between two different editions of Windows.  There is really no need to do this - there is no data stored within the hierarchy of program files, who wanted to be replicated on several PC.

• How to get around

  Kids put a password on cpu to connect.  they don't remember it now and the cpu doesn't let me do something.  isn't any restore disk. no idea how to get around this problem?

  Find the domain your machine for service guide.  Remove the power from the unit and unplug the CMOS battery. Press the power for 15 seconds.  Reassemble the system.  Restart the system, go into the BIOS and set the BIOS password to something you can remember.  Punish the children.
