Attn: PA bear - installing Vista clean - am I lack of updates?

I have now done a clean install of Vista (all by myself - following your instructions). I think it has gone well so far. I've updated upward the wazoo (until that updates is no longer presented after several times to check updates.) However, I have the following question:

Everything in diagnosing the problem that eventually required me to do a clean install, asked you if I had a few specific updates. For example,.

(a) KB2719177 [or KB2699988], KB2705219, KB2712808 & KB2731847;

(b) KB2698365, KB2691442, KB2655992 & KB2719985 or maybe KB2721691;

(c) KB2685939 and possibly KB2686833.

(d) KB2658846, KB2659,262, KB2660649, KB2676,562, KB2688338, KB2690533 & KB2695962;

(e) KB2644615, KB2393802 and especially KB971029.

Those listed above, I have no

(a) - KB2719177 [or KB2699988]

(b) - KB2721691

(d) -962 KB2695

Should I get these updates? If so, how?

.

I'm sorry to bother you this way, but Bill Smithers suggested that I post this question in this way. Or at least that's my understanding.

Thank you in advance,

YT2252

Those listed above, I have no KB2719177... KB2721691 or KB2695962. Do I have to get these updates?

Probably not.

1. assuming that IE9 is installed again, open / click on IE9 help | [ALT + H + A] & tell me if the second line of text displays Updated Version: 9.0.9 (KB2722913)?  [YES/NO]

2. what KB2736233 listed in view installed updates and/or as a successfully installed the update history update? [YES/NO]

PS: too long KB2719985 is installed, you can forget about KB2721691.

  • Impossible to install Vista Service Pack 1 through Windows Update

    Hello

    Recently I had to reinstall windows vista home premium 32 bit on my old acer aspire laptop. I did a "clean install", all was well with this operation. I had to install a large number of various updates after doing, now I am notified via windows update vista service pack 1 is available for download/installation. When I try to perform this action, I get a popup window that informs me of what to know before installing sp1, then I reach a window where I have to accept the terms of the software installation. Once I click on the little square and accept the conditions, it goes to another window with two choices... install & cancel, when I click the button install... instead of windows update download and install the update, I am presented with the view of windows update, the update has been installed successfully When in fact it was not. I prefer to install sp1 via windows update, because she was supposed to be a size smaller than the stand-alone version available on microsofts website. Has anyone else had the same question, and if so how do you fix? Of course this laptop is not my main computer, but as it still works very well I continue to use it.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Support for Vista without SPs is complete.

    Use the standalone version for both SPS.

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

  • Am I able to re - install vista after doing a windows 7 clean install?

    So, I bought a laptop that has Vista and bought and did a clean install of 7.

    I am building a new computer and would like to spend 7 laptop to new construction and re - install Vista on the laptop. I have everything I need at the end of 7, but all I have is the CD - Key for Vista. There is another laptop in the House running the same version of Vista (32-bit family Basic) I had initially.

    Is there a way I can create a Vista installation disc using another laptop or anything? We are even allowed to transfer Windows between computers as I want to do?

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    No letters, just a long series of numbers.

    I am running 64 bit 7 Professional if that helps at all.

    Looks like you have the Windows 7 retail license... It's big and what makes it legitimate to remove you Windows 7 off the coast of this laptop and move it toward your new system you have stated your desire was.
     
    Back up all your data.  Can use Windows Easy Transfer and an external hard drive to make sure that you have your personal settings and files the currently Windows 7 system.
     
    Download and create an installation of Windows Vista bootable DVD.  You can get help (and links to legitimate downloads) here:
    http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links#
     
    You are basically these three files (for the DVD itself):
    X 14 - 63452.exe
    Boot.wim
    install.wim
     
    You can follow the directions under the heading 'create your own Vista ISO bootable image' on the link of the web start page to create an ISO image and then burn that image on a DVD.
       
    I suggest to perform a new installation using the DVD and product key you have on the sticker on the laptop that you remove Windows 7 from (for Windows Vista).  This will remove Windows 7 system (naturally).  You will need drivers for the laptop too - but that should be no problem accessing the web page of the manufacturer of the laptop.
     
    Then, you can use the product key and Windows 7 media to install Windows 7 on the new system.  Install all your software, patch, obtain the correct drivers from the manufacturer and restore your data.

  • Need help to install Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 - error 0x800F081F - standard corrections do not work

    I have trouble getting Service Pack 1 installed on Windows Vista x 64 final.

    Current issue: SP1 does not appear as an update, and I have not yet installed.  Windows Update tells me that I'm completely up to date.

    History (memory, may be some errors):

    • Performed the new installation, including Vista Ultimate x 64 disk erasure (MSDN)
    • Updated to current with windows update
    • Installed Office 2007 Ultimate (MSDN) (don't know where update what happened)
    • Active Windows (could be a problem doing this after you install updates?)
    • Installed CPU usage, network, gadgets sidebar discs counter meter
    • Installed Live Family Safety
    • Installed Chrome
    • Installed Google Apps
    • Google Pack antivirus installed
    • Installed Google Earth
    • Attempted a manual installation of SP1 - fails with the error 0x800F081F
    At the present time, I can't get a manual of installation of SP1 to work, and Windows Update tells me that I am up to date.  -> System control panel tells me I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, but does not list all service packs.  He also confirmed that the x 64 edition is installed.
    Steps for debugging:
    • Installed the drivers for the sound card motherboard
    • A ran complete chkdsk on drive to repair bad sectors
    • Ran the system file checker - find corrupted files, but can't fix
    • Journal CBS does contain no [SF] cannot repair the entries
    • Installed continues to update the system tool - tool does eventually make a update facility - who settle whenever I run
    System Information Link: http://www.filedropper.com/systeminfo

    [1] this is a new installation, so nothing has been pre-installed.

    [2] the only antivirus that was installed is the one that is included in the google pack.  I took it...

    [3] SP1 does not appear as an update

    [4] I'm strongly considering just clean wiping and [do a clean install]

    A1. If Vista was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it and you use the OEM disks (or hidden restore partition) to reinstall Windows, any antivirus free trial which initially is preinstalled on the computer will be reinstalled, but not valid.

    A2. You have therefore no anti-virus application installed. I see.

    A3. There are several prerequisite updates that must be installed before SP1 will be offered. See...

    Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation via Windows Update
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343

    A4. Since you do not have an antivirus application installed, it would be your best bet. See...

  • Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

    Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

    I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

    I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

    I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
    I go past the first steps and choose Install.
    I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

    Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

    I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

    Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

    Hard drives shown are: Toshiba RAID SCSI Disk Device LD0

    Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

    Hello

    It is very easy to solve this problem.
    If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

    Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

    You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
    As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

    Hope I could give some useful advice.

  • Can I install Vista 64 bit on 32-bit Vista?

  • How can I reinstall MS OneNote2003 after installing Vista?

    Hello everyone,

    I was a bit confused of the 'ExpressUpgrade' action, because I first thought I would get
    a DVD-Windows Vista upgrade, but as I can see in ModusLink he is named "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD"... OK, it's done now, but that's why I have other questions:

    There was additional software and utilities already installed (I have a Satellite P100 - 463 WinXP).
    I know that there is this "step by step Toshiba DVD" who has first updates the BIOS, install Vista and then the drivers needed and utility (as "Toshiba Assist" and all the others, I guess). As it is written in the guide step by step, all programs etc. will be deleted, as formatting of the hardddisk, ok.

    But with the laptop, there wasn't "MS Office OneNote 2003" already installed and this program, I have not found on one of the DVD / CD. On the CD is 'MS Works 8.5' and on 'Tools-CD"that I was burning of 'C:\toolscd' there are things like"InterVideo Win DVD Creator"(the player) and"recorder of Sonic.

    On the "Recovery-DVD" is just the Image of Windows XP preinstalled + software etc and I think of course, there is also the OneNote2003, but like I said I can't find the setup.exe from OneNote2003 anywhere...

    Or could it be that OneNote2003 will also be installed with the installation of Vista? What is a "core" Vista, don't not patched by Toshiba? As I was reading in the Vista_Express_Upgrade_instruction_multilanguage.pd f (the manual "upgrade progressive", first BIOS is up to date, then installed Vista and here again I have to use the toshiba DVD to install the software and drivers...) Is it only "utiltities' as"Toshiba Assist"or as software?

    Last question: update after the BIOS that is needed for Vista, is still possible to install the "old" Windows XP + stuff pre-installed recovery-DVD or this BBIOD goof only for Vista update and I cannot restore the original recovery image?

    And anyway, can I install new stuff like Works 8.5 etc. on Vista or will I have problems with it?

    Thanks for the replies.
    Greetings, launchee

    Hi kai

    I know that the Vista upgrade is a bit confusing
    So I'll try to clarify some things:

    1.) Toshiba Recovery XP CD contains all Toshiba drivers, utilities and tools, as well as additional programs like OneNote, Win DVD, etc.
    It is not possible to install this software separately without using the recovery CD because these programs are part of the image.

    2.) as far as I know the received "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD of moduslink company is not a restore CD but the real Windows Vista installation CD. That's why you need to install all the tools of Toshiba and the drivers after installing Vista. This CD does not include additional software such as OneNote or WinDVD

    So finally, you will be able to install Works 8.5 on Vista because you have one working on CD separately but it s not possible to install OneNote from recovery CD

    But you can try another way. You could create a second partition and you could install the Vista to the second partition.
    Laptop you would use the two operating system; XP and Vista. The Vista also provides a clean boot manager.
    Therefore, it is very easy to switch between the two OS's.

  • Satellite A200-1CR: can I install Vista using my Vista DVD installations?

    Hello

    I would like to get some answers to my questions...

    I have the satellite A200-1CR (PSAE0) and I want to install vista on my own... not with the recovery DVD but I have some serious questions...

    (1) may I have problems during the installation... (Drivers SATA, etc.), problems of BIOS or Toshiba has no restrictions?

    (2) what problem if I erase the secret (winre) partition and what is its purpose?

    (3) if I do a clean install with my DVD with my vista... If I want in a future close that I can use the recovery DVDs I got it or not?

    (4) to the drivers section for my laptop for each part has 5,6,7 or 8 drivers for win vista... which is good, or it's all the same?

    (5) in general, what do you propose? Are there reasons why not to do my format? I did a large number of formats in desktop, but never in the notebooks.

    Sorry if you tired with my questions and sometimes my bad English...
    Thank you in advance...

    Why not.

    As to the question;

    (1) possibly the Vista operating system does not recognize the HARD drive during the installation of the OS. In this case you must install storage Intel Matrix (Robson package) Manager first! It of a driver SATA and can be found on the Toshiba or Intel driver page.

    (2) Windows recovery environment (WinRE) is placed on the hidden partition and it of necessary to restore a damaged operating system.
    The Vista operating system automatically creates the hidden partition and Windows re installing the OS.

    (3) Yes, you can use the Toshiba Recovery CD. But it erases the entire HARD drive always.

    (4) take a newer version

    (5) generally I put t see any reasons to get in shape. The preinstalled Vista operating system has been configured and all the tools of Toshiba, drivers and additional software should work very well.
    I don't recommend a new format if the operating system is working well.

  • Install Vista SP 1 - error 0x8007000D, and al Code.

    I have a laptop HP (HP Pavilion 6707us) comes with pre-installed Vista (32-bit). It has been necessary for me to do a system restore on my laptop using the "F11" key and now I am trying to install updates, I get several errors, not only with the updates but also many other errors. I wonder if all my problems are due to the fact that I can't get Vista SP1 and other updates installed? I spent the greater part of the last 2 days trying various things I found in the forums and so far nothing worked. The exact steps I take are the following:

    1. I have downloaded and run the reset Windows Update Tool and tool system found at (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9665683) update

    2. I downloaded and and ran the update found at (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b4d90b06-c27d-4483-bc1f-04d43fa7b293) system preparation tool

    I tried to install SP1 even once, does not.

    3. I downloaded and saved on the desktop Windows Vista SP1 from the recommended link (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f559842a-9c9b-4579-b64a-09146a0ba746&DisplayLang=en)

    4. I have installed Windows Vista SP1 in clean boot Mode, follow these steps...

    a. click 'Start', type: MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. click 'Services', check the box "Hide all Microsoft Services" and click on 'Disable All' (if it's not gray).

    c. click 'Start', click 'Disable all', click 'OK' and restart the computer.

    I tried to reinstall again and received the following error message:

    "An internal error occurred during the installation of the service pack. Error code: 0x8007000D. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=101139 for more details

    I'm really at a loss here and could use very little help. Another major problem, I have, it's that the system keeps telling me that my version of Windows is not valid, even if it has been validated on the Microsoft site and HP has confirmed my key. In addition, one minute my sound works and the other, he says that there is no audio device installed? All these problems may result from the inability to install all the updates?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi D_Clary,

    I suggest to follow the steps below and check if this can help you trouble the Windows Vista service pack 1 problem on your computer.

    Method 1

    Access the link below and follow the steps proposed by Darin Smith MS on 9 November 2007 and try to install Service pack 1 on your computer and check if it helps.

    http://social.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/genuinevista/thread/78a4e88c-2786-4871-97C8-e98e35d06b1f

    Method 2

    You can runSystem File Checker (SFC scan) on the computer and try to install Service pack 1. The tool File Checker system to determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows, the System File Checker utility analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    b. right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    c. at the command prompts, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, try to install Service Pack 1 for Vista and check if it installs successfully.

    Access the link below for more information about the System File Checker tool

    Also, try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and try to install Service pack 1 and check if it helps. Later, re - enable security software after installing Service pack 1.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  • Just installed vista hangs if it remains unused to long, how can I solve this

    I had to replace a hard drive that crashed with a new one.  So I used the dell reboot disk and all is well.  I did all the updates and loaded all my old stuff and all the drivers for the computer as well. Everything is great, but if I put the computer in standby mode, it will get a striped vertically bunch of lines on the desktop and there is no access to anything at this point.

    I have to press start to stop computer button so I can restart.  Had no chance to do all the things I can think.  I can restore because it's a brand new hard drive.

    I; m thinking it of a vista issue and may just try to re - install vista on again once.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried the fix program that Microsoft is free and it found no problem.

  • Impossible to install Vista SP2, says needs update of system tool

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit edition with Service Pack 1.  His ability to perform automatic and manual, updates have not completely.  When I try to update, it tells me that I need what is called a system update tool.  The Download Center Windows says I need Service Pack 2 to use this tool.  But when I tried to install Service Pack 2, it failed, saying he needs the system update tool.

    Then... I need Service Pack 2 to install the system update readiness tool, and I need the analysis of system update tool to install Service Pack 2?  Huh?

    The only other option I can find for this is to fix the "CBS Manifest" which is apparently corrupt.  To do this, I need to "repair Windows" using "Windows DVD.  But this computer comes with pre-installed Windows and did not come with a 'Windows DVD.

    Is there a solution to this problem?  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  I ran virus and malware scanners, are looking for things that can interfere with the update process, defragmented my hard drive and cleaned the registry.  What other options are available?
