Boot Vista with all available processors?

I remember seeing a few settings such as 'Boot Vista with available processors' online.  It works for a dual core laptop if I change the start setting using 2 processors? It could accelerate the boot process?  Thank you

Hello

In fact, there is often little or no difference.

Start - type in the search-> msconfig box find top - make a right click on - RUN AS ADMIN

Startup - Advanced Options - check the number of processors - defined tab the number you want.

OK - apply / OK.

I hope this helps.

    I'm using vista Home premium and want to install windows 7 a.m. premium as a dual boot. If I decide later by far with windows vista and keep only 7 How can proceed?

    Is ther to disadvantages in dual boot?

    There are no real problems with dual boot if it's Setup corrrectly.

    You need operating systems on separate partitions (readers not necessarily distinct, but definitely separate from the partitions).

    If you uninstall Vista later and it's a copy to the details of the program, then you can install it in a virtual drive using the same product key (but you'll probably need to activate manually).

  • From vista with a new motherboard, unable to boot into normal mode.

    Original title: from vista with a new motherboard

    My mother has crashed and I replaced it with a new one. New motherboards drivers are on a cd which runs under a windows complete envirinment. Unfortunately I can't get windows to run in safe mode, which will not install the drivers again.  What are my options? the cheapest first preference.

    Carl

    Hello

    Try uninstalling the drivers for all devices in the Device Manager (be sure that you select delete the driver for this deviceoption during the uninstall) and Control Panel.

    Then try to restart your computer and check to see if you can boot into normal mode.

    Steps to uninstall from Device Manager:

    a. After you open Device Manager, look for the device.
    b. right-click on it and choose Uninstall.

  • How to create a recovery disc with all vista updates?

    original title: how to create a recovery disc with all vista updates without starting from scratch, so I can replace my hard drive?

    My hard drive seems to be dying.  I would replace the drive.  I reloaded vista from scratch with all the updates, but it took forever.  I would like to make a record of recovery with all updates.  IAM on vista Home premium.  32 bit

    If you want a good backup program that backups image, I recommend Acronis True Image 2010:http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  It offers a free trial, so you can test and if you want it's only about $30 for the original version.  A lot of people I know this program and use it instead of Vista even in versions of Vista that offers imagery as this program does a better job.  Of course you also need a place to put the backup (which will take a lot of space), so also consider.  The best choice would be a USB external hard drive at least as large as the readers you want to back up (not only the data on them, but the entire available disk space, so you miss when you add more information about the disks).

    You cannot use IMGBURN do - it can't do anything like that.  It must be the imagery of backup software.

    I hope this helps.

    Restore point:

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

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

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  • Experience of Vista with a Satellite U200-115

    Hi.Just a little of my experience since the upgrade to Vista, in the hope of an orientation.
    U200 only bought it 4 months with XP Pro loaded. used Express upgrade to Vista.
    I think that I loaded the new Bios & drivers ok, but very fast, everything works no more. I could not repair the Vista installation had to install on my second partition. This led to 2 choices of vista boot up which I just discovered how to stop.
    Vista looks nice but...
    I keep losing my optical drive, I have to uninstall and then restart your computer.
    It crashes IE with the program image. Firefox blinking on the screen like crazy. Can only stop with the prolonged use of button / stop.
    Utility flashcards... what that all about?
    recovery when opening lid, slow, maybe needs to restart.
    Wireless, can make his choice if there is or is not all available networks... reboot again.
    I wonder if I can use the recovery cd to put XP on the original OS partition and back to Vista next year!
    Any comments appreciated

    HM, it sounds not very positive, but the crazy thing is, I have to admit your 'report' it s not pilot stuff, plus the operating system itself. I think that if they 'closed' with their OS werenâ´t they hadn´t so much probs thereafter. The manufacturer can provide some proper drivers and the system could be running.

    Thus, we can have some faith when they release SP1 for Vista. I think a lot of people waiting for MS.  :) Me too...

    never had a disc of windows vista with the new laptop and no option to make a recovery disk, and I need to format my laptop to factory / clean, help!

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    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.

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

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

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

    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

  • Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

    Hey

    I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

    My specs are:
    Intel Pentium
    2 GB OF RAM
    Hard drive 160 GB

    > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

  • Try to install the game 'Lights Out' (Adventure Company) on HP laptop under Vista with SP2.

    HP Pavilion dv9310us Notebook PC/1.0 GB Ram/Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 installed / processor is AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-52 / no changes to the factory configuration

    Lights Out requires:
    OS: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
    CPU: Pentium III 450 MHz or better
    RAM: 128 MB RAM (256 recommended)
    CD-ROM: 24 x CD-ROM Drive (or DVD of PC drive)
    Video: SVGA card graphics or better
    Sound: DirectX 9 Compatible Sound card

    Once I insert the disc in the drive, it starts to "work".  I disabled autorun because he was suspended when I inserted a disc.  So I open the folder on your computer and select the game and right click on "explore".  I then on the installation icon.  1.5 hours later, he finally asked me if I wanted to install the program (I've also implemented so need my permission before installing anything).  It's now 45 minutes (and still waiting) since he asked my permission to install the program, but if I didn't I had a program tried to install, I don't know.  In other words without box "Progress" or installation.

    Maybe I'm just too wait for Vista because this game was not "written" specifically for it?  Hell, more than an hour just to get to the point where he asks me if I want to install the program?  It seems to me that something is wrong somewhere.  Unfortunately I'm not well informed enough to understand.

    I tried defrag and 'cleansing' of the disk (C: drive, not the CD). I have even 50 GB free on a 100 GB drive, and there should be a lot of RAM.  Also, when I run the Task Manager, it shows the reader DVD RW as 'running', not 'does not.

    I * think * something is wrong somewhere in Vista, since the problem began with autorun hung when I inserted an installation disc.

    I would really appreciate any advice that anyone can have.  It's just not good.

    I was "Baby sitting" installation.  No dialog boxes have gone unnoticed.  I had the same problem with another game by the same company last night.  This game has been 'Dark Fall'.  As long that I left him alone, he finally got the game installed, but it took a lifetime to do.  I don't know if the problem is specific to this company or not.  I installed the last week several games download section of Amazon and Big Fish game, which none have given me no problem.  But they were all downloads, then these 2 games is basic disk.  Once Dark Fall WAS installed it worked fine.

    Thank you.  :)

    distantsmoke,
    According to the Windows Vista Compatibility Center this game is not compatible with Vista.  You can try to right click on the Setup file and run in XP compatibility.  If this does not help, then you should contact the game manufacturer for any updates\patches that would make it works with Vista.    Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
