  Your problem is that the PC is unable to properly read the table BIOS SLC, which should not be able to activate the key to OEM_SLP product in use here.

• Vista Home Premium can not find applications and networks.

  Vista Home Premium (manuf. installed) can not find applications (application to go to define associations in control panels?), does not recognize my wireless network and available restore points are only for dates after the problem has occurred.  If I buy a Home Premium DVD and do a clean install should I expect to get a working computer?

  Hello

  You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have Vista DVD you can do however make sure to
  totally your data off the drive of backup, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you do not
  Disks of Vista, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't care about existing programs
  Then you can make a complete new installation - just select the format options that erases the entire disc (this
  Clears all data as well).

  Some system manufacturers use Partitions recovery and other methods to allow you to go back to a
  completely new facility. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options you must do
  - and it's certainly doable - just a question of the process the manufacturer of the system set in place to
  you.

• Windows Vista Home Edition suddenly not open attachments. How can this be corrected?

  I can't open attachments in the email in the "MAIL" program in Vista Home Premium

  Hello, tubifex

  Please use the Forum for answers!

  I'm moving your post on the forum of programs.

  What kind of attachments you are trying to open?
  What is the exact error message you get?
  Have you installed any programs or updates before this has stopped working?

  Are you able to open the offending file type in Windows directly?

  If this started recently, you can try to do a system restore. This will restore the filesystem to a previous point in time. Go to start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, open system restore and choose a date before the problem started.

  We can't wait to hear back on your part.

• Windows Vista Home Premium does not start after mother, CPU and RAM upgrade card

  I recently updated my PC Windows Vista Home Premium. I changed the motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card. When I booted the machine, it has not started Windows. Windows tried to recover, but could not. Is it possible to get this machine to start without doing a new install? The new facility will lose important files.

  Hello

  It's a normal reaction after replacing the hardware that you have replaced.

  The hard drive with the installed operating system contains the old motherboard drivers, etc..

  They must be replaced with the new motherboard, drivers etc.

  You will need to reinstall the operating system and then install the new drivers of motherboard (you should have a diskette of drivers for it), if the new installation does not probably them, that it will not...

• Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

  I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc. Vista will open the media on a CD - R, DVD, and CD - RW, which is what I use.  Vista will not write on a CD - RW disc, sending the files on the drive, pop - up Vista says "insert writable disc in the drive", or he'll want to format the drive, formatting always fails; I removed the filter upper and lower; I used MR. FixIt, and she came back with "media in the CD/DVD drive is not writable '; the disks are writable, but they are not recognized by Vista in writing. Here are the nine on box Maxell CD - RW discs. I have no problem with vista, write files to a CD - R or a DVD to burn. Windows Media Player will burn music to these CD - RW discs. How can I get Vista to recognize a CD - RW as a recordable disc?

  1. what program do you use to burn files to CD - RW discs?
  2. what type of files you are trying to burn?
  3. this happens with all new CD - RW discs?

• Vista Home Premium does not see my HDV camera

  I recently bought a Sony Z5U HD camera and tried to connect to my Vista Premium 64 bit laptop.  Windows don't "bong" and recognize that anything that either is connected. If I plug an older camera, it works fine as it should, so I don't know that the firewire connection works correctly.  In addition, I plug the same new camera to a tower of XP and it works fine. I contacted Sony and they said that Microsoft has not added 64-bit cameras HDV codec on Vista 64 and I should downgrade the operating system to 32 bit, which sounds extreme.  I googled for the 64-bit codecs, and everything I can find relates to play a variety of file types video in Windows Media Player, which seems CLOSE, but not quite accurate that I know this might solve my problem.  There are codecs that I can install to allow my HDV camera to be recognized by my Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS?

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• My Dell Studio 17 (with Vista Home Premium) will not let me install anything... ?

  Okay, so I recently bought a laptop... About two weeks ago now, I think that... It's a Dell Studio 17, and it runs on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. So far, I had a lot of problems to install programs on it. When I tried to install AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) it wouldn't download; I finally managed to do install via the start menu somehow...
  BUT now LENS won't let me sign... but that's another story! lol - the real thing that worries me is not able to install games. I just bought the Sims 3 and after inserting the disc, choose a language and a count of the wizard InstallShield, once I have access to the license agreement page and click on 'I agree' and click 'Next' an error message pops up saying something about impossible to install. He has a huge long error code and I don't know what that means. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the drive, so I went back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. When I got home and tried to install it again, it's the same thing. Then I tried to install another game that I have (Zoo Tycoon - Zookeeper edition) just to see if any game would work... It's the same thing; before he actually started to install an error message came. The first error message said something to have an invalid character in some way... ? ! (no idea...) Then an other error message pops up something else I didn't really...
  So, as you can see, there must be something wrong with my laptop. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE. I would appreciate advice...!

  Thank you very much. Would be a new instal OS solve these problems?

  If you mean a new facility on a reformatted drive or a system recovery using recovery of the manufacture process, Yes, certainly, unless it's a hardware problem - but then you learn nothing about what caused the problem in the first place and so how do I prevent it from happening again.
  WRT your mistakes: -.
  1. nothing to worry about, as most of the machines do not have parallel ports today (unless yours does?)
  (2) it is difficult to talk about this, without more details-, but because they say "dependants", rather that "unload", it can probably be ignored.
  (3) it seems normal - I've seen a lot of PC with this error, and apparently nothing wrong. -It is important only if you are connected to a domain server
  (4) the service (I think) is a result of system crash, rather than a cause of the grip.
   
  It seems that the cause of this will remain a mystery.
  My earlier concern about SR doesn't work not just because of problems still standing stop - but back your data first, so that if the worst happens and you cannot start the system later, you can go to plan B.
  As Lorien says, try a back system restore to before the problem started - although at 2 months, I would worry about the stability of the system later. Since you already said that you are willing to do a reinstall if necessary, give it a whirl :)

• OK, I have a legal copy of vista Home premium with service packs and updates from microsoft and want to start clean with a clean installation I do not have the original, only recovery and put installation disc at level Express disc?

  OK, I know that this may be simple for most, but I have an of a moment _ this find.  As I said legal copy that has been saved... I backed up all my files on DVD, I don't care if I lose all the programs that I can always download them later.  Basically I want is that it was when I brought home the first time.  I searched high and low for the original disc of Vista but no luck.  I do not have people upgrade at any time, but I was not able to find a definitive answer about it online.  Not too complicate it again but I have 4 GB of ram and processor can run 64-bit, and I have 32-bit curently I'm sure you know where I'm going with that.  I know a little about how to do it, but want reasurance and direction from someone who knows hit safe and ready to help.  Any person who get end to this nightmare for me will be really appreciated.

  Contact the manufacturer to obtain a set of recovery discs original (for a fee) and use them to make the initial installation.  Activate it.  Then you can do the upgrade and activate that.  You must install the original operating system in order to install the upgrade.  If you are going from 32 bits to 64 bits that cannot be done with an upgrade - which requires complete and clean installation.

  Here is the Microsoft policy on replacement software; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
