How To Factory Restore Windows Vista - Emachines Or Gateway PC

[@kennethscallan609]

on my pc it doesn't show system repair option

[@Windows7Pro2009]

DvDPlayer you may have formatted your hard drive (which I guess you may have deleted the recovery partition) and reinstalled Windows.

[@xGeckosOG]

Im computer literate and I had trouble finding the option to factory rest my PC. Thanks for the steps.

[@himozwine5934]

[@zoomerfeels3625]

[@jenniesgarage]

OKBAOK Thanks for the comment, I hope it helps your computer.

[@crisleem]

Thanks for the help. Fixing my husband's ancient laptop for my daughter who broke her NEW one. But your video would have been 5 minutes long without the commentary. However, I'm accused of babbling often myself.

[@crisleem]

+Crislee M. (crisleem) ugh....after all that it can't restart. Now says "Bootmng is missing." Any advice now??

[@michaelcole2122]

[@jenniesgarage]

TheMaster99 Thanks for the comment, it's great to hear you got your computer fixed.

[@euphoriaorphan]

I have the exact- same computer. Yet it did not have the first option that you chose... WHY?

[@FernandoCruz-py3nu]

I tried this but after clicking the repair option when pressing F8 it just brought up the home screen saying sign in as a different user and not giving me the option to restore my computer. Any ideas?

[@ragequittime]

This did not work for me the last option wasn't there is it because I don't have a certain disk that comes with the laptop

[@F1uffy_96-14]

thanks a lot didn't expect to find a video to help me with this type of pc

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks, I was hoping it might help some people.

[@gabehare7042]

Did they use a windows vista OS disk?

[@gabehare7042]

Please reply fast

[@joshbaroz8875]

thanks for helping restore my antique pc lol

[@kstewie2986]

Wtf 😂 This dude said "data will be lost" and then started talking about he just started watching the tv show Lost. that was so random and funny I'm enjoying this video 😂👍

[@jenniesgarage]

haha thanks

[@steezybry]

Jennies Garage I have a Dell xps m1730, is it possible to pass the alert saying "this application is not a valid Win32 application" ?

[@brigildea]

thanks man very helpful & entertaining at the same time. getting ready to do this procedure for my fathers old gateway which is slooooooooooow, he probably deleted some files lol

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah these old pcs are slow, but sometimes it's better than spending money on a new one. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@OJOdin11]

i did it to my windows vista pc i did everything and waited for everything to do its stuff and it did but when it restarted it said "windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause" what to i do? the status says 0xc00000e btw. its stuck there too. if i close the computer and reopen it it'll come back. and no pressing any F's dont do anything!!!

[@CaptEricS]

What if your option for "repair your computer" doesn't show? I just get "Safe mode" and not that option.

[@mikejameson753]

Eric Schnidrig when You Click the Open Button, You spam The F8 Button.. and then that screen will show up. if that doesn't work, then Try all the other "F numbers" Or Esc Key.

[@grammardragon8425]

As for Lost, I watched it on network TV during it's initial run. Lost was simultaneously both sone of the best snd worst TV episodes I've ever seen. It stole six years of my life. F Lost.

[@pinedo76]

I have this same computer and everything comes up with the F8 except the repair my computer part. I've reset many computers using this and never had a problem. does anyone know why some here are having the same issue?

[@mogyver69]

I do not have the repair option after hitting the F8 key.. I checked and I do have a recovery partion. What setting neeed to be changed so I can get to that option.

[@dariuslynch6673]

Hey I also have this problem. Did you ever figure it out? When I press F8 there is no "Repair" option at the top. But I am sure it is windows XP, emachines. Can you help me out?

[@Xx1095urielxX]

thank god thats the computer im trying to restore

[@nappybuzz19561959]

sorry, i went to sleep watching this...

[@MrScrappydue]

I found system recovery options but command prompt is the last option. Mine only has complete restore from a backup. Bummer

[@amydavidson4567]

it was a huge help thank you so much BUT I do not know why this video is 15+ minutes when we only needed about 3 of them...

[@jenniesgarage]

Amy Davidson Why would you go out to a nice dinner at a restaurant when you could've just eaten a cup of peanut butter? Why take the scenic route instead of the interstate? Why go visit a dear friend on their birthday when you could just post "hpy Bday" on their facebook? Life is about the journey, not just the destination!!

[@rocky7983]

Sure stick to the topic. Fast forward the video to match the topic.

[@bobshugars95]

My computer don't have the top one what do I do

[@Sonicrush007]

My sister had an eMachines Windows XP netbook. Too bad Acer discontinued eMachines in 2013.

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah, a lot of people didn't like the emachines, but I had a couple throughout the years and they always served me well.

[@MCChefBoyRD]

My computer is emachines.

[@niyooshanaderi9770]

hi,my operating system is vista home premium 32 bit but when i press f8 and that boot popup or whatever comes up there is no repair your computer option in there so i cannot go any further.what should i do?

[@ItsZadz]

Help! When I press F8, all that comes up is a Blue box with a black background saying which boot I want. ????? After I select either of them, my computer just turns on as normal. Do I need a disk in order to make this F8 thing work or is it that I am not pressing it at the wrong time. Please help thanks. 

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

what happen to that Mercedes you had? you are 100 % correct about the Fear porn News. how is your heating idea coming along?

[@jenniesgarage]

The trash furnace is still in development, I've got a squirrel cage fan that I'm going to modify to use in place of the leaf blower. As for the car I still like it but I've really had the itch lately to get something more sporty. Tough to do with a toddler though :)

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

when my daughter was born< I had a 1974 240 Z 2 seater hatch back. I had to weld in a bracket right behind in the middle of the seats so I could snap in a car seat and be able to take it out. I drove it like that for 3 years. I had alot of New dads stop me to see how I had it set up. I eventually sold it and got a 4 door car...man I really miss that little sports car.

[@jenniesgarage]

Iseekoutthetruth That's a great idea, and the mark of a true sports car enthusiast. Love those old z cars.

[@TheCGMan100]

Hey my computer when i go to choose which account i want to go on and i press enter on administrator and guest and press enter it says the account has been disabled on both and to contact the administrator. I need help

[@emmykathryn12]

When I do this with my computer, it does not work. It tells me nothing about resetting my computer. Is there something else I can do?

[@dieselkydd3]

the problem I'm having is that I set a password that I can't seem to remember and it's not letting me go passed the System Recovery Options screen. :/ what should I do?

[@srjones45]

I can't get recovery manager on my emachines w/ vista. I repeatedly spammed F8, but nothing but boot options. I've put recovery in the start search, but it just gives search by internet or search everywhere. I had nothing but the recycle bin on there & it said I needed to upgrade.

[@77whill]

Thanks for posting my friend, you look like you enjoy working on computers I do too

[@ibenzawla]

Actually I enjoyed the video. A cool way to make a KZbin video. Thanks.

[@Levi90001]

I need to to a reset like u did for my win7 home premium PC but do u need a valid product key? I still have the product key but it's five years old

[@simoneb4177]

I don't have those options on my Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium (that i can find). It only allows me to system restore, but no apparent options to factory reset to prepare for laptop donation. Is there another way to set laptop for donation? Thanks!

[@AlinatheBee]

The last option wasn't available for my emachines windows vista

[@king2010D]

my internet connection is valid but my computer will not connect , can u help

[@GhoulNorth]

i have every option bit the one i need wtf man? what do i do

[@charleskimbler4127]

my god in heaven what did you smoke before this video holy crap

[@jessicaconley2676]

I was optimistic to try this but during the first step, after hitting F8 there was no option to "repair your computer". All of the other options were there but there was no Repair your computer. I have an emachine here same as yours.

[@jenniesgarage]

Jessica Conley Hi, If it soesn't have the option, then your computer probably uses a restore disc rather than a recovery partition. Good luck :)

[@jessicaconley2676]

Hmmm that's not what I wanted to hear. I did wind up trying several other ways and nothing worked. I guess I'll have to get my hands on a disk. This is my parent's computer and it's kind of a piece of junk. Thanks for the help.

[@odysseysurf6317]

what if you don't get a system recovery option

[@melly2423]

very helpful thanks for the video

[@nightrobin3749]

Why isn't the restore option there?

[@ashrafabuelayyan19]

When I click the f8 key I don't get the restore computer setting. Why is that? Cloud it be because I have an older model

[@Levi90001]

It might not be the F8 key, try pressing esc key instead. Your PC will say which key to press for boot options on startup.

[@modia3230]

Try f10

[@jessicalozada2811]

Will not work for me when I try to login to anything says your acct amas been disabled

[@niles20100]

Thanks for your help.

[@jenniesgarage]

No problem, thanks!

[@FadeGalaxyy]

This dude is funny as hell

[@JuanRamirez-bj6qe]

I can press repair my computer bit then it just loads files and starts up.

[@ladyyrhed9671]

What If You Don’t Have The Top Option???

[@TwistaLocc5633]

many thanks bro... this helped out alot

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you liked the video, thanks!

[@bluepikachugaming2347]

what if my computer don't have recovery manager

[@dannycavallo6019]

spoiler alert lost doesnt get any better they did a interview where one of the writers were told to just make shit up there was no endgame just make shit up. BTW thanks for the help

[@saulbarra]

Hello Jennies. I like your tutorial, I try to do everything, but it doesn't show the last option (Recovery MAnager). Can you help me, Please.

[@JFKGotWrecked]

I could not find it I have a gateway desktop windows xp

[@teresatrott4137]

I watched the whole video even though I only needed to find what function key to hit lol. I'd like to get stoned and talk to this guy. He isn't an unresponsive sheep like you folks.

[@jenniesgarage]

haha thank you! Good to hear there is at least one person who isn't angered by my rambling

[@spyrocat9392]

I like you. You talk a lot and that's good in my opinion. Some people are just anti-social aren't they?

[@Deisye0]

Thank you!!

[@ameenmookhith3284]

My PC did not have repair option

[@kronixsyco4873]

Same for mine! But I figured out that if you put advanced settings at the bottom left it will take you to another menu then pick the last bullet and press next and restore without backup!

[@niyooshanaderi9770]

Kronix Syco can you be more specific?how ?

[@yaseenrashid786gaming9]

Nice Video Really Helped

[@jenniesgarage]

Yaseen Abdul Rashid Glad to help, thanks!

[@markcoggins2717]

How'd u get passed administrator?? I don't know my password.

[@dieselkydd3]

did you ever figure this out? bc I have the same problem.

[@mose3775]

OMG THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

[@roguewolfwarrior]

my computer doesn't have that last option what do I do?

[@mikejameson753]

Saiem Novak try Changing the Option. Maybe your doing it on Standard user, You need to do it on an Administrator account.

[@mikejameson753]

i have the same Problem, i am not sure if What i said Works. if it did, Subscribe to VideoAction.DK.COM

[@roguewolfwarrior]

Mike Jameson no it'll come on but won't go to the account chooser page before getting into the actual window to get on the internet or anything just the start normally or restore options things and ive tried restoring it it takes forever then restart and goes back to the same menu page with the countdown thing again I let it countdown to start on its own but it doesn't I'm not sure what else to do.

[@mikejameson753]

if it still doesn't work.. then Do a Force Shutdown (Holding the Power key while open, Untill it Closes), and Open again Spamming the ALT + F10. And press F8 after it Showing up. then Go down to "Recover to last known Good Condision". after a 5 min or lower Load, it should give a Screen where you can Click "Factory Recover". Click it, and Click OK. and Just wait for the Long Load....

[@GhoulNorth]

Saiem Novak mine either wtf

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

All the extra stuff you are talking about only serves to confuse the issue at hand. It is extra stuff I don't need. The actual instructions are only about 10% of this video, and stretched out from each other by the irrelevant stuff you are saying. Your emachines computer looks like a carbon copy of the one I have which i got used and, mine has an administrator password that I don't know, so I need to find a way to get around it. I thought I might get the info I need from this video, but the way you go on about stuff does not help me. Sorry.

[@jenniesgarage]

Sorry friend, but in addition to helping folks with their computer, I like to talk about whats on my mind. Watch the video, enjoy the commentary, and fix your computer. Life isn't just about boring facts, and getting to the end result as fast as possible. It's about enjoying the journey and having finesse, style and panache. Have you been with a woman?

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

***** I live by "A time and place for everything." When a college instructor does what you do, It muddies the water so to speak, and the students suffer for it. All the stuff you have on you mind may be interesting to some, but it does not interest me. As for what is boring and what is not, I never get bored because I am always able to think of something to do. It's called imagination. Finally, yes I have been with a woman, several in fact; however that is none of your business. I would not even hazard an answer to that question under normal circumstances, but this is not a normal circumstance. Please understand I am not telling you how to do what you do. Obviously your video has helped many people, judging from the comments here. It boils down to what an individual can follow and what is preferred. I just have different preferences. I do not mean to offend you or anyone else, only to let you know what I think about the video.

Dear Jennies Garage, I like your video, but i seem to be having some trouble restarting my windows vista emachines pc. I do just as you say, as you say it on the video, but then when i try to hit "Administrator", It says its been disabled! Please help! There is a password to it, but me and my mom have spent countless hours trying to figure it out, and have had no luck. It was my grandma's, and she passed away about 2 yrs ago. I like the pc and wanna use it, but as i said, that one problem is preventing me from doing so. Please respond soon! Thanks, Sincerely, Britanie

[@jenniesgarage]

I don't know how to help that, except maybe format the HD and install a fresh copy of windows. Are you going through the steps exactly like I do in the video? I didn't know the password for the computer I was working on, and it worked. Good luck.
