computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers
Hello
You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.
Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.
Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
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:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

Vista system restore question after malware attack
Hello. My wife's computer has been attacked by malware. It all hid on the desktop and the start menu as well as all his personal files, has launched a large number of pop-up windows - up with fake error messages and then prompted to pay an unknown technical support source. I used the Vista system restore to restore the system to a few days before the attack. According to the instructions of Windows help, the system restore should not affect his personal files. I was hoping that his files would be present again after the restore, but they are still missing. The malware seems to have disappeared now. Any suggestions on where its files can be located or what measures you need a professional to get back them?
Hello
You may also still have some malware installed.
Read the information on the link provided (Section 19 and 21) on the way to "unmask" data and Start Menu as a few skins of Malware.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Windows-Vista-recovery
While you're there, it would be a good idea to follow in their footsteps of malware removal to ensure that your system is clean.

My Vista system was crushed, tried everything, but finally resorted to a recovery of the original factory image off the coast of the hard drive Partition. Everything seemed to go smooth but now I get a blue screen at startup: irql_not_less_or_equal STOP: 0x0000000A (0 x 0, 00000002 00000001, 0x81AE8590)
Odd part is the system has two RAM slots, we have a 2 GB key and another has a 1 GB. Could not get the machine to start with two sticks in. Will start with a stick in each thin slot. Will not start no matter how they are installed if you are using the two RAM slots. Ran SFC/scannow. He found errors, that it cannot correct. How can I fix these errors?
CBS log is large enough: what details should I post it to help you troubleshoot?
Note: Were able to update the system, including the installation of updates Windows 128 and seems to be updated throughout the SP-2. I really don't want to run another recovery if possible.
Thank you!
Hello
Perhaps you have different brands of RAM in your computer, and so it would not start with the two inserted Rams. Do a check for your specific PC memory that tells you what products work with your system.
Follow the information in this article.
Know what type of RAM you needIn addition, updated BIOS.
Warning of the BIOS:
BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.If scan SFC did not fix the issue, I would say that you follow the steps in this article to fix it.

I accidentally deleted the directory "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft ' my 64 bit Windows Vista system. How can I get it back?
original title: C:\Program Files (x 86) \MicrosoftYou can try this program:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/
Use the deep Scan option. It may take some time.
The System File Checker can repair some of the files in there, but probably not all.
It's probably at least some of the files that have been overwritten. so I would say the the more safe thing to do is to reinstall Windows.
