Hi, James:

 

The only place that sells Vista recovery media for your model notebook would be this vendor at the link below:

Thanks! 

I’ll think about this as I may not get it and get a new pc.  I don’t really want to pay for it but il think about it



If there is any other place that you can get a ISO for this please let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

James

It keeps crashing when I boot it up for some reason

 

I wanted to restore it back to how I got it when it was brand new

The only way to restore the PC to its out of the box condition would be to use the recovery media on it, and there's no guarantee that will work either.  It could be a hardware problem. 

 

The PC is around 17 years old. 

 

It may be time to put it out to pasture.
