• Windows XP - Home Edition: what is the administrator password? Or how to find / change (OS is OEM - only have not disk) _

  Windows XP - Home Edition - SP3.
  Is there a way to know what administrator account password?

  Standard mode:

  If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

  In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

  WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

Called APPLE helpline and they said probably resulted from the OEM software.  I think I should be able to re-use the software again.  Probably because he's connected to the my desktop PC.  Therefore, it is possible to unlock the product key of my desk, so that I can download on my laptop.  Please advise as soon as possible.

• Need for basic Windows Vista Home Edition recovery media

  I lost my windows vista home basic DVD. I have my key windows vista with me. can I get a duplicate dvd or can I use another dvd with my cd key?

  Read the info below re borrow a Vista DVD.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

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

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

• Satellite A100-495 - black screen after installing Windows XP Home edition recovery

  After the recovery and download of updates and the XP operating system that the screen remains black, bios does not start, and XP does not start.

  What can I do?
  A I press a certain key combination?
  How can I reset the laptop again?

  Who can help quickly?

  Hello Ralf

  Stand by. If I understand you just your laptop does not work.

  What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop? You don't see anything on the screen? You see Toshiba welcome screen.
  Power is ON?
  Is there a any reaction?

  Remove the battery and leave the laptop for some time, connect the power supply only and try to start it again.
  To be honest, this whole thing is strange. Recovery image installation is not responsible for this kind of behavior. Have you done something else that may be responsible for this?

• Windows XP - Home Edition (issue on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen)

  Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

  Lost my bar of task/start button at the bottom of the screen. Tried ctrl + esc. Any suggestions?

  The taskbar is resizable, like a window, and it can be set to zero

  lines of ups. Maybe that's your problem, and fixing must be the

  first thing you should try. You may have accidentally resized to

  zero lines of ups. Place the cursor on the bottom of the screen and pass

  it upward and down slightly until it turns into a two-headed arrow.

  Click on, and then drag it to the desired size.

  If this does not work, it may be zero lines high on another facet of the

  the screen, try the above on all four sides.

  Finally, if none of those working, go to
