• Where can I get a codec for Windows Vista that can play mp4 files?

  Using Windows Vista, I can't play a file video mp4 using Nero Showtime and some other video editing software.

• I had to reinstall my Windows Vista and lost my MP3 files. Can I get back them?

  When a microsoft technical specialist removed a malware from my computer, I couldn't launch my Internet Explorer.   I decided to re - install Windows Vista on mine.  It only gives me the possibility of repairing the existing files. When I re-installed Windows Vista my old files were put into a file called Windows.old.  All of my music (MP3) files are on Windows.old?  Is it possible for me to get those files and put them on Windows Media Player?  And these files now contamination or damaged because of previous malware attack?

• Windows Vista reinstall stopped at "continue installation".

  I'm trying to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720.  I get through the steps and it restarts several times, but when I get to "Continue Installation... "nothing seems to happen.  I tried several times to reinstall but still stuck at this point.  Long ago I lost all the files on the computer so that they are not important.  I disconnected all devices.  It all started when SysMech messed up the registry and totally corrupted the Vista operating system.  I formatted the HD and deleted the partition while I'm trying to reinstall in the unallocated space.
  Help!

  Hello

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  a. your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it.
  For more information, go to How to replace Microsoft software or hardware lost, broken or missing on the Microsoft Web site.

  b. the CD or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  Also, it is usually caused by hardware problems.  If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  a. wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current.

  c. If you have more than 1 Memory stick on your computer, try to remove all but one RAM stick and try to install Windows Vista.

  If the computer still stops responding during installation, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer for the problems associated with hard drives.

• Windows Vista reinstall without installation disc (Acer Aspire 6920 G)

  Hello

  I would like to ask for help. About a year ago I bought this laptop with the original Windows Vista validation but key without a Windows Vista installation disc. Now, I would like to reinstall my system.

  I downloaded the file .iso Windows Recovery (of size 120 MB), it burned down and tried to reinstall Windows. I got to the stage where I type the validation key, but always when I typed that key, it appeared that the key is invalid (I checked this certificate stuck on the laptop and it seems to be original).

  Thanks in advance

  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, Acer is normally Alt + F10 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.

  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.

  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.

• Windows Vista reinstall after a full format of the HARD drive!

  My younger brother accidentally formatted the entire hard drive he played in dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows. I have a Dell Optiplex 755 genuine Windows Vista Business Edition, I want to just reinstall Windows Vista, I got this computer from my cousin, I don't have any Installation disc, how I want to download Windows Vista?

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to send a set of recovery disks Vista reinstall Vista.

  They do it for a small fee.

  Also, look and see if you still have a recovery partition to reinstall Vista from.

  Read this:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

  Read also:

  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

  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.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

• The automatic update Windows Vista just eliminated all my files on my hard drive

  Last night, I closed my laptop with the ability to install the business Windows vista update (as I usually do when there are updates available).

  When I turned on the laptop this morning (May 17, 2013), he went through the usual update and installation.

  However, when it finished I noticed that the Office was clean (not so many icons on the screen). Then, I went into Firefox and noticed that all my favorites have disappeared - I imagine the same for Internet Explorer and Opera too (although I haven't checked). Then, I went into My Documents and noticed nothing - all my files on my hard drive (with the exception of programs and software dreamweaver for example microsoft, office, etc) were totally wiped out.

  It is serious - help!

  Fortunately, you can restore all your data files from backups that you do on a regular basis.

• Windows Vista reinstall without disc, but I have a product key

  I did a system restore on my computer and I need to reinstall Vista on my computer.  I can't locate the disk, but I have the product code.  Can someone help me how to get Vista on my computer?  I need it as soon as POSSIBLE.  The classes are trolling.

  Your computer came with Vista recovery (usually on a different files
  partition). If so, usually, you can access the Vista reinstall mode by
  repeatedly pressing F11 or F12 during startup. Before that, be
  be sure to back up all the important files, emails, licensed applications and so on.
  because this process generally erases your disk delivered-to-factory
