2. not genuine windows 7... before that windows vista
4. i downloaded windows 7.
5. i cant restore back to windows vista, my recovery disk is empty but it says its full. it laggs to much and i think it fryed my video card

Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX Notebook Computer. According to the specs your system shipped with Windows Vista Home Basic SP1. HP states in its Upgrading to Windows 7 FAQs, that you should create a set of HP system recovery discs before upgrading the OS. If a problem occurs during the upgrade process, you can use the recovery discs to return your computer back to its original software configuration. Your recovery disk (partition) is most likely near full but the folders and files are hidden. It is likely that the link to the recovery partition was removed from your system during the upgrade to Windows 7. This HP Recovery Manager Installer Patch may help, if you did an upgrade and not a custom or clean install.
Did you create a set of HP Recovery Discs??? If not, you will need to order a set from HP.
Did you purchase a Genuine Windows 7 installation disc with COA and product key??? If not, you will need to purchase a Genuine copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft or a retailer.

    In order to return your computer to factory spec you need the discs, there is no other way. You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number and they'll ship you a set of the original discs for a fee, or providing that you have at least 1gb of ram you can purchase and install 10.6. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

    Did you follow the instructions here:

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • I'm trying to set my computer back to factory settings, to make it like new. How do I do that?

    I'm trying to set my computer back to factory settings, to make it like new. How do I do that?

    Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data and securely empty the Trash.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, connect its original thumbdrive and restart the computer with the Option key held down.
    If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down.
    Use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and then install a new OS onto it. If you used a disk and are going to sell or give away the computer, include the disk with it.

  • Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
    Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
    Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

      What should I do short of restoring my phone to factory settings?
    Nothing.  The message means you MUST restore your phone to factory settings.  There's no way around this .  Your phone is in recovery mode.  That's the only way to get it out.

  • LogonUI.ex​e bad image - authui.dll error. Cant system restore or restore to factory settings

    Hi,
    My notebook which is a HP pavilion dm4 beats edition computer which runs WIndows 7 home premium, was just bought 2 months and I've been using it just for 2 months.
    Yesterday morning it was working fine, and I didnt download any new software or do any changes but in the evening when i turned it on,
    after the 'starting windows' screen, it was this error message
    LogonUI.exe - Bad Image
    C:\Windows\system32\authui.dll is either not designed  to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try installing the program again  using the original installation media or contact your system administrator the  software vendor for support.
    I tried safe mode, it goes back to the same error screen.
    When i try pressing f8 and go to 'last known good configuration' it goes to the error screen as well.
    I tried pressing f8 and going to HP recovery manager and selecting system restore but it says no system restore points have been created, when I try to create one or go forward, it says the computer is running in a limited state and its not possible.
    The option 'restore to factory settings' can not be selected, I dont know why. The cursor does not change colour of the option when it goes above it, and that option cant be selected.
    My recovery partition is there and I have not done any adjustments to it.
    The only thing that opens is a command prompt window, could you assist me on how to restore to factory settings through this? Because typing rstui.exe brings the same message saying no restore points have been created.

    I cant chose system recovery, the option cant be selected.
    When I can go onto command prompt after going to 'advanced boot options' but then typing sfc /scannow says the computer needs a reboot, once you reboot, its just the same thing.
    Normally starting windows or starting windows in safe mode gives the LogoUI.exe bad image error just before when I would normally scan my fingerprint or enter the password.
    I tried putting in a windows cd, but it wont let it 'repair the computer' but trying to reinstall windows, no hard disks are visible. Its like I dont have a hard drive.
    But you can go to command prompt and go into dir you can view all my files. But just searching for C, it says directory of C was not found.
    Its just really strange because the laptop worked fine in the morning, and in the evening, as soon as I turned it on, it was just this black screen and an error msg

  • Restoring computer back to factory settings

    I recently purchased a used Powerbook G4 12inch and the it still has the previous owners user account and password on it. I want to delete the profile but i cant because it is password protected is it a way to restore the computer back to factory and delete the profile so i can put my own information on there.
