  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

  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

• 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
