After installing the Vista SP2, IE 8 does not work well.

After installing Vista SP2, IE 8 under my.live.com does not work.  The pages do not FLOW RSS download, links on the page at the top are not active and usually IE has out crapped.  I went to run a complete Internet security suite uninstall Trend Micro and put it in a plain Jane anit-virus program.

I would like to keep the functioning of IE8, but switch to FireFox, if I need to see my RSS STREAM or do some serious web browsing.

In addition, Live Messenger is no longer connect either.

Is there a way I can safely roll back my system to SP1?  I can't live without Vista SP2.

Hi Geekster,

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

IE 8 is not a part of Vista SP2.  You can remove SP2 without removing IE8.

Here are the steps to uninstall SP2
Method 1: Uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista by using the programs and features item in the easiest control panel to uninstall a service pack for Windows Vista is to use the programs and features in Control Panel. To uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista by using the programs and features in Control Panel, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type Appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click Appwiz.cpl in the programs list.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.
  2. Click view installed updates.
  3. Click the service pack that you want to uninstall, and then click Uninstall.

    If you don't see the option to uninstall for Windows Vista service pack in the list, go to method 2.

  4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the uninstallation.

If method 1 does not allow to remove SP2, try different method in this article:

  • Problems galore after installing the Vista SP2

    Once I installed SP2 on my Acer 6920 g, my sound card no longer works. I followed the "Fix It" solution and update its drivers, which solved the problem and his return. When I stopped the machine, he started rebotting, begin a strange "xp" mode, before launching Acer Arcade Deluxe, a media programme. This problem for about two hours, stop, reboot in this program can close again in a loop on and on. Through to hold the power button on the laptop, I managed finally to get the machine to stay 'off '. The following day, when I turned on the laptop I found that repairing the system has been launched, but could not solve the problem, telling me that the problem was the following;

    Thank you

    Try this first before reinstalling.

    If it fails, see below, data recovery before reinstalling.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • Will not start after installing the Vista SP2

    Last night my old Vista SP2 computer.  Installation seems to have success, but to restart the computer as part of the installation of automatic update, it failed.  During a part of the boot with a screen similar to BACK sequence, it arrested, printed a msg that appears to be in hexadecimal and would go no further.  Restart with a sequence of hot or cold start to produce the same result.  I tried to correct the problem by using the Startup Repair on the Vista installation disc and received a msg that Windows could not repair the problem itself.  I sent the results to Microsoft using this option in the Startup Repair tool.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  • Installed the Windows updates now sound does not work.

    I used the windows update Center yesterday and installed the updates that were for my computer, now my sound does not work. When I try and open "Dolby-Publisher of stars", I get this message:


    Any help tp fix it would be greatly appreciated as im am not very wise computer.

    Will,

    According to the scenario provided it seems that the problem is that you have updated the drivers for the audio device, but you have not updated the application (Dolby Home Theater - perhaps). If you have two choices, update the application to a version more recent or uninstall the installed update which is relevant to the audio driver (through programs and features - updated).

    See you soon.

  • Disable the Radio button under condition does not work well

    Hi friends,

    I have three radio buttons

    < li > cottages
    < li > New rental
    < li > in the name of


    I'll show this option button conditional according to the user who connects to the application.

    Suppose that, assume that if a person 'A' concludes the application means that it will be shown only these radio button options---NH---,---OB---,---Self---

    Assume that, if a person 'B' concludes the application means that it will be shown only these radio button options - NH-, - free-

    If a person "C" concludes the application means that it will be shown that these radio button options - Self-


    I limited the boxes according to the users who enter the application using their roles.

    But my challenge here is once the user and if it someone at - it means radio button, select

    Example if he chooses - NH - means, then - OB - and - holiday - radio button must disable and if he chooses - OB - means then NH - and - to
    Disable (vice versa).

    I have also done the same with the DA.

    With the real action like: javascript Expression I gave the following encodings (I wrote the below DA for the three cases, if the request_class_code is equal to)
    (NH, O, S)
    var enabled=$v('P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE');
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'S')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_2').attr("disabled","disabled");
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'NH')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_0').attr("disabled","disabled");
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'OB')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_1').attr("disabled","disabled");
    The DA above works great only for the user who has the possibility to view the three radio buttons in my form (i.e)(NH,OB,S).

    For the user who has the ability to view two or one option button, it does not work properly (i.e.)(NH,S) or(OB,S) or (S).

    Why it does not work for the user with two options or with a radio button medium, the source of this property of radio button option is changing. Given that I took
    the source of my radio button in my DA only when the three options are present.

    How I can solve this problem for the user who is having this option two or radio.

    We hope to hear you clearly on the issue.


    Brgds,
    Mini

    Hello

    If I did not understand what you have that might work

    var lVal = $v('P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE');
    $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE input:not([value="' + lVal + '"])').attr("disabled","disabled");

  • HP Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop: no sound after installing the Vista SP2

    After installing SP2 on my new laptop, I found, on my version check, he did not mention SP1 as having been installed/added.

    Then I tried to UNINSTALL SP2, or take the computer to a previous restore point, as the problem of "NO SOUND" (confirmed by a small circle of Red containing a white "x" icon of speakers [IDT High Definition Audio CODEC] located at the bottom right of the laptop screen may have been caused by adding SP2 without previously installing SP1)

    .

    I discovered that there is no previous restore point (it's a new laptop) - so I can't RESTORE to AN EARLIER DATE of TIME and I have not the slightest idea how to UNINSTALL SP2 - on windows xp I could have just do it through the CENTER OF CONTROL and ease "Add or remove programs.

    • According to the Sound Devices device manager both work properly i.e. the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI - although I did not understand why I have two devices here, (maybe cos I tried default return of windowsn na sound?

    I guess I could use the back to factory State cd to get her back, once again on my laptop, but I hope that I don't need to do.

    Any suggestions please, because I feel a frustrated mite.

    Hi teacher Cheryl

    Thanks for your reply.

    However, I cannot locate the page you are talking about.

    I seem to have lost in these areas (see * below)

    It seems to be all kinds of pages to do with the support of drivers, updates, but do not know which one to use to do a download of the update that I seems to require (assuming that I don't already have).

    I found what seems to be the driver of Audio concerned especially for the particular model, but do not know if it is the version of correct i.e.latest of the driver or how to download.

    The details are:-

    "The software and the following drivers are compatible with your product and the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system

    ' Pilot - AudioDateVersionPreviousSize' IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver 04 - 20096.10.6159.0 A ' Version: 21,02'

    Also, when I click on "Open Volume Mixer at the foot of the screen, it says"no audio device is installed"

    Use the Advanced startup options , and then select the option 'Disable automatic restart in case of system failure'.  Then the next time it fails it must stop on the error screen.  Post back with the error message so that we can discuss this more.  You can clean boot your system to see if there is a program, possibly the origin of the problem.  You should also test in Safe Mode and see if it happens then.
