KB2296011 causes the blank screen in Windows Vista Home Premium?
I'm troubleshooting an issue with an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop. After Tuesday October 12 updates, the laptop goes to a blue screen after authentication with any account. There is a mobile cursor mouse, but nothing else. C/a. gives the menu, but "Start Task Manager" has no effect, restart will only work.
I am able to login normally mode without failure. Remove the update KB2296011 removes the problem, I narrowed down it to only this update. It is now necessary to restart and use system restore to go back before this particular update to access Windows.
I did the following to troubleshoot:
(1) I tried to install the system update tool, which had no effect.
(2) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually after downloading, the problem returns after installing.
(3) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually mode without failure by another post here, but this is not possible, which gives the following error: "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c.» This service cannot be started in Mode safe. »
It seems up to present have no way to obtain this update to install without the origin of the white screen issue. Please advice, thank you.
OK, it looks like at this will be my last post.
This technician seems to address the issue much differently from the rest. After the things we have done in my previous post, he seems convinced that the problem occurs when this security update is installed, it thinks it's UAC which is damaged, and possibly other files. If its resolution suggested the problem is to run a repair on Vista installation, in order to repair potentially damaged or corrupted files. This would correspond well with hijackware theory posted earlier, too.
It seems door by another symptom not reported to me or noticed until now. With or without UAC enabled, standard users cannot connect. It passes the connection, in the preparation of your office for a disconnection. Administrative users can connect very well. As the primary user of the machine is an administrator (of course!), this was not noticed until I created a Standard user to test and found this problem.
I hope than a repair installation (or even better, an upgrade, as I prefer to simply wipe the HD and start over) will solve the problem. The machine has 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz dual core chip, so I think it can handle very well (my wife does mobile) Win7.
I hope that all of this novel, we have written here will help others as well.

I use an Acer ferrari laptop model with windows vista home premium OS. I would like to know if I can do the free download and use windows 7 instead of windows vista in laptop (I understand that there is a similar model earlier). The laptop is used entirely for personal use @ home, not for purposes of Trade/office.
Windows Vista is to give a lot of problems even with installed virus scan software. It is slow and gives challenges to the use of household memebrs.
Many offered computer manufacturers free updates from Vista to Windows 7 on computers purchased during a certain period of time, but this time with the supply have long expired. There is no such offer to download/update free available anywhere.

Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium
I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?
Original title: Charles 111
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
I would like to ask you:
- Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?
If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.
If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.
Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.
Reference:
Where can I find my Windows product key?
Let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you further.

I use Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. I am logged in as Administrator group member why not I have permissions to modify the file (I need to add an IP address to the list)?
I never had this problem when using XP, so why are administrator permissions so darn limited in Windows 7? And why does the system not recognize me as a member of the Administrators group? It's so frustrating.Windows 7 UAC (User Account Control) prevents rogue programs do things behind your back. Click Start / Help, then look for help on UAC learn more.
To change your hosts file, follow these steps:- Locate Notepad in your Start menu or in the System32 folder.
- Right-click.
- Left click run as administrator.
- Open the hosts file, edit and save it.

I have no idea how the product key has been changed to my OS to an OEM_SLP as I have the genuine key supplied with the system on the COA label.
I bought this system through Best Buy and today I received a notice that it uses a non-genuine version of Windows 7 Home Premium, but when I noticed the wrong product key, I have been unable to return to the good pair through my computer properties in the Activation of Windows.
How can I update the product key without having to uninstall/reinstall?

as I said when I try to delete some of these files, it won't let me just it gives me a message saying that the destination folder access denied, and he says you need permission to perform this action, I mean files are not windows or even programs most of them is files mp4 video , mkv, so what do I do to remove those and the way in which these files do not have any program.I tried access security by the properties and files was my own total control and all, but it didn't always work and I do not know how do exactly to access the administrator account in windows vista mabe of where the files will be deleted.
Try in safe mode. Restart the computer and press the F8 key repeatedly to access the menu diagnosis where you can choose Safe Mode. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS. If so, how should I do this? I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?
My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct? Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?
Thanks in advance.
You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications. There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64. You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer. You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU. Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

Satellite L350 - cannot get the keyboard to work with Vista Home Premium
I just reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32 bit but can not get the keyboard works. I tried to connect an external keyboard with the same results. I checked the disk manager that says that the driver is working OK I wonder if it could be a problem of system or a hardware problem.
Any help would be welcome

Try the external USB keyboard.
If it works correctly, then the internal keyboard works bad and must be replaced. -

Read the above info.
3 use this program:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
4. go into each program > tools > Options > see if you can disable the startup when Windows starts.
