  • Windows Vista corrupted by the major update

    I installed MS Office 2010 on my wife's PC. This triggered the valves on the pc that has frozen on startup black screen middle to the top and now does srun various services. I can't connect to any network and various other bits of surface and parts seem to be broken.

    Symptoms:

    No network (main problem is a network service location does not start)

    No print spooler

    AVG does not start correctly.

    Worst thing is: I can't find restore points, the OS disc (probably 1000 miles away in another country) or the license sticker is on the bottom so is carried by 6 years to be used in the tower.

    It has a partition repair but the time before disks big enough to contain a copy of the full backup of the operating system.

    So I have several questions:

    What is my identical to the product key product ID?

    Can I download an appropriate Vista disk or do I need a replacement from the manufacturer of the laptop?

    If I buy a Vista Windows 7 upgrade, is upgrading possible thanks to a corrupt system of vista?

    Is there a way to patch up the system without completely re - install windows?

    You are lucky, Acer recovery disc for him as they do not them still carry for many models that had preinstalled Vista.

    You could look at this idea however.

    Are you sure that they provided a Vista disk with him?

    Acer normally responds on the use of the recovery partition to reinstall the operating system configuration (new condition)

    With an Acer, you press the left Alt + F10 at Boot keys to start this process.

  • Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

    I had to have my hard drive replaced and the company that made him put two versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium on it.  Soon, I discovered that I was getting conflict on my computer and he discovered that the two were on the hard drive.  I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but I'm at the stage where it tells me to seek answers on the removal of Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue.  He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.  I know the other option is to do a clean business, but I would avoid this possibility if possible.

    Hello

    The best way is to clean install and start over.

    In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

    If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

    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
