Hi there !

So tell me, what do you want to do with your computer? Do your computer crash and need to reinstall your Windows Vista operating system? Or you want to upgrade your operating system from Windows XP to Windows Vista.

For reinstalling Windows Vista, is it the same procedure when reinstalling Windows XP and Windows 7. Here is the link on how to reinstall operating system http://www.fixya.com/support/r7410371-reinstall_windows_xp_or_installing_clean. For Windows Vista, here is the procedure on how to reinstall Windows Vista.

1. Just put the installer CD into the CDROM Drive and open your computer
.
2. If message appear to press any key to boot from CD. Press any key to go to Windows Set up.

3. From there, just follow the installation procedure and put CD key if prompted and it will install itself the whole process. It will reboot for 3 times and don't press anykey when this happen. it will be finished within 20 mins.

For upgrading from Windows XP to Windows Vista, remember that all your files and softwares will be remove except for the hardware drivers. But not all the hardware drivers will be 100% working because upgrading the operating system will make your drivers outdated or not compatible with Windows Vista. If some drivers not working, just install the hardware drivers compatible with Windows Vista.

Here is the procedure.

1. Do not put the Windows Vista installer CD yet into the CDROM drive.

2. Open your computer and let it run to Windows XP program until is is finished to load your Windows settings.

3. Now insert your Windows Vista installer CD to the CDROM drive, it will pop up the upgrade installation wizard and just choose the upgrade installation. It will run the upgrading installation and just follow the instruction and it will be finish with 20 mins.

I hope this will help you and thank you for using FixYa !

Suddenly my computer is shut down i dont know how but when i try to restart its not working so i download window 7 then i restrart but when i buy my computer its window vista so i want same like before...

Kanwalpreet, you can go to Microsoft solutions web site for vista and with a little searching you can download vista fully onto you computer. Although I don't know why you would want to do so since you have Windows 7, because the technical name for vista is Windows 6, so you have already upgraded your system. Well to each his own, good luck .

I have installed windows vista but its an US version and i dont have a product id for the same as i took the cd from my and and he also lost the id.now every month i have to reinstall windows vista. So...

You know after installing Window vista,You need to activate it before you can use it otherwise you would be installing Window Vista every month which is not good. If you lost your product id, then download vista crack software to make your Window Vista permanent and genuine. copy this links and paste it on your browser http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C3GLHCNI
after downloading the Vista Automated Activation software. extract the file to get the setup. Open the folder, locate Vista Automated Activation Crack v3.0 and open it. A black window will pop out telling to wait. Please wait for a moment for the cracking to complete. After that, you will get a successful message that it has installed.Restart your system. After restarting,Right click on My Computer, point to Properties. You will get a message that your Window Vista is genuine. Thanks and Good luck

I want to change windows XP to Vista,but how ??without using cd

If you want to change Windows XP to Vista you should check out the different Vista versions that Microsoft offers, here is a link to the different versions of VIsta that you can get and the upgrade paths you need to take - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/upgrade-your-pc.aspx. You wont need the Windows XP installation disk to upgrade to Vista. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Windows vista live audio/video streaming problem.

vista doesn't come with 16 bit, it is 32 or 64 bit. use media center utility for watch live streaming. media player 11 is also capable for playing the live video. realplayer is the best tool for playing live videos
