• Cannot install Update 938371 on Vista Home Premium because of the error 800b0100.

  Using Windows Update and stand-alone update, I can't install the Update 938371 (which I believe is a sine qua non for SP1) on my Vista Home Premium laptop.

  When I try to do, I get an error 800b0100. I tried the system preparation tool, I even tried the fix XP (for re-registration of dll), but doesn't seem to work.

  My laptop is an Asus G2 with 3 GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 processor (both at 2.5 GHz), if this can help.

  Thanks in advance for your advice.

• Cannot share my printer on VISTA Home Premium

  Hello... I configured a Brother printer as a local printer on my computer VISTA Home Premiun (latest printer drivers) and you want to share with the other computer on the network running Windows XP Professional.

  I tried to turn on the sharing of printers in sharing and discovery in Network Center and sharing.  However, every time that I click on the button apply the function remains off.  The network is private.  Working groups are the same.  Using Norton 360 version 3 as the firewall.  I tried adjusting the parameters of traffic in the Firewall Norton for Windows file sharing get through, no difference.  I uninstalled the Norton 360 using the Norton removal tool and tried with no firewall turned on... no luck.

  Also, I tried to turn on Public folder sharing in the same area.  I get an error dialog that says "incorrect function".

  Help, please.  Research on the web (including the site of Norton) gave no response or things to try.

  Thank you. Just like a book four of the liver in a ladle of pint.

  Yes.  I finally got mine works too.  After uninstalling Norton 360 with the Norton Removal Tool and restart a coupla times.  It still does not work.  Then...  I reinstalled VISTA Home Premium.  It's a horrible work-around because you lose all your customizations (mine are about 7 years), but the installer moved all my programs and desktop in a Windows old folder files, so I'm keeping them.

  I need to reinstall literally everything whole again, but this crazy printer sharing button finally lit.

  Thank you Aaron.  Good luck to you.

• Cannot restore backup successful - 0x8007007A Vista Home Premium error code

  I use Vista Home Premium that came with my laptop. I had a nightmare with my Dell Inspiron for the last two months. I finally gave up and decided to do a clean install, after completing a successful using the Vista Backup Backup Assistant. Now, here's the problem. I reinstalled Vista, and made sure I had all the Windows updates available. Now I want to restore my data from my removable hard drive files.

  I click on the Control Panel, system and maintenance, restore the backup files, Advanced Restore and select my removable hard drive (which is cool). Then, I get the following error message:

  "There was an unexpected error. The data area passed to a system call is too small. (0x8007007A).

  I tried to copy the backup file on my computer and going through the same process, but I get the same result.

  I'm at my wits end with this, I can see all the files on my portable hard drive so I know something is there, it's just Vista backup restore will not do its job.

  Help, please!

  First, disable any security software you have running on your system.

  Then connect the external drive and go to start / Control Panel / Adminiistrative tools / computer Managmernet / Disk Managment and change the drive the drive letter of bacckup (I don't know why, but I saw an answer where this atually worked so it's worth a try).

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  More than finding the cause, I want to eliminate anything that might interfere with the process.  Try the restore in clean mode to see if the tht works.  Don't forget to return the system to normal when done regardless of the result.

  There is not much on this error code and absolutely nothing of a value - only valid suggestion posted above.

  Here is some general information that can help (although unrelated to this particular error)) but it may be useful to solve the problem as a whole.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup ("Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available ' )

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot obtain replacement disks of Vista Home Premium.

  I have a PC that came with a set of disks in the OS (Vista Home Premium) of the desktop type the Gateway FX. Technical support Gateway wants to load more that a new license cost complete and me have to wait a month to get them. Seeing as how I've already paid for the license, it's completely unfair. Can I get a disk of Microsoft (or anyone), if I have my license key? I understand that I must pay a nominal price for the physical disks.

  Thanks in advance,

  Mikey

  Hello

  If it never came with disk recovery, gateway must provide you with another way to reinstall the operating system.

  If they didn't they break their agreement with Microsoft.

  Here is the information on the bridge to access the recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista:

  "Full factory recovery"

  ""Software Information " "

  http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  If the above does not work, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Installation of vista Home premium errors!

  When you try to install windows vista family premium, it says

  "Device drivers are not found", it also says the operating system - UNKNOWN
  How can I solve this problem? I have the real windows vista upgrade cd.
  Help, please!

  The problem is the cd 'upgrade '.  It assumes that you have a system on the computer that has not been upgraded to Vista, XP or Windows 2000.   You need a full installation disc.  Vista is old, you might have trouble getting a Vista disc, but you might get lucky and they will send you a disc of Windows 7 If you call your computer support team (if it is a possibility).   Otherwise, install Windows 2000 over there and improve it with your upgrade disc.   It should work.

• Help... VISTA HOME PREMIUM PREINSTALLED, NO DISK, SYS. RECOVERY DID NOT WORK...

  I know that my HP Pavilion is infected, tried everything to get rid of these critters, but to no avil still.  Home Premium is preinstalled on my computer, and received no disc.  I completely format my hard drive.  I need to know if I can use my recovery disc (made by me) to restore vista after I format my HDD, or do I need to have a vista operating drive.  Another thing, I'd like to know, is that I recently bought a vista to windows 7 upgrade.  This upgrade disk could be used as an installation disc if I format my hard drive?

  Help, please...

  PS...  I think my recovery disk can be bad too...  But am not sure!

  If you performed the recovery discs correctly, he should consider it how you bought.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back 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.

  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 own way of making recovery disk/s.

  See you soon.

• Services won't start don't no - Vista Home Premium

  I recently lost the connection to my internet connection and on the survey, found that the firewall was not on. I tried to start it, and it seems that some of the services that depend on have been the problem. I googled the problem and have tried the solutions meet online, and after a fortnight of futility, I came here on this forum.
  I begin troubleshooting by executing the two queries:

  Queryex mpssvc C:\Users\Client>SC

  Service_Name: mpssvc

  TYPE: 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS

  STATE: 1 STOPPED

  WIN32_EXIT_CODE: 1068 (0X42C)

  SERVICE_EXIT_CODE: 0 (0X0)

  CHECKPOINT: 0X0

  WAIT_HINT: 0X0

  PID                : 0

  FLAGS:

  C:\Users\Client>sc qc mpssvc

  XR | QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS

  Service_Name: mpssvc

  TYPE: 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS

  STARTUP TYPE: 2 AUTO_START

  ERROR_CONTROL: 1 NORMAL

  BINARY_PATH_NAME: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe k LocalServiceNoNetwork

  LOAD_ORDER_GROUP: NetworkProvider

  TAG                : 0

  Display_name: Windows Firewall

  DEPENDENCIES: mpsdrv

  : bfe

  SERVICE_START_NAME: NT Authority\LocalService

  I also tried the solution advocated in article KB 943996, but all the permissions are OK.

  I have however indicated that the dependent services not starting not are:

  Base filtering engine which errors with an error 5: access is denied message.

  BFE is dependent on the remote procedure call which, in itself, has begun with all its dependencies.

  As a result of this error, I have the network and sharing Center is unable to give me a network name and said only: the dependency service or group could start.

  With an automatic launch services that are not watch:

  Internet connection sharing (not enabled by me so should be good)

  List network, Network Location Awareness Service,

  Policy Agent IPSec, Windows Time, IKE and AuthIP IPSec Keying Modules, DHCP Client and Diagnostic Policy Service.

  I'm behind a router, so I only use Windows Firewall and have the next race but is no longer able to be updated:

  Windows Defender, AVG Free 8, with user account control on.

  The only change that I can remember was installing a TurbaCash, an accounting software package of open source software which I have now uninstalled.

  What else can I do to fix this? I can't support free Microsupport nor can I afford to pay for it.

  Can someone help please? Thank you very much.

  Hello, Sean

  You can try to reset the permissions, similar to the article you posted, but this will have an impact on the entire registry permissions.

  You can also try to reset the permissions of files by running the Fix It tool at the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

  Let us know if that helps.

  1. Download the SubInACL tool and install it.  By default, it will install in c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools
  2. If you are running Windows Vista, click the start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, and then right-click on the element named command prompt and choose run as administrator
  3. If you are running one operating system other than Windows Vista, go to the start menu, choose Run, type cmd and click OK
  4. In the cmd prompt, type notepad reset.cmd and click Yes to open Notepad.exe and create a new text file named reset.cmd
  5. Copy and paste the content in reset.cmd:
     
     CD /d "%programfiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"

     Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = small = r/Grant = YOURUSERNAME f /setowner = administrators = > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt
     Subinacl /keyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = small = r/Grant = YOURUSERNAME f /setowner = administrators = > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt

  Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = r/Grant = everyone = r/Grant restricted = r /setowner = administrators = > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt
  Subinacl /keyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = r/Grant = everyone = r/Grant restricted = r /setowner = administrators = > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt

  Subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = r /setowner = administrators > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt
  Subinacl /keyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = r /setowner = administrators > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt

  Subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = e > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt
  Subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\/Grant = administrators = f/Grant = system = f/Grant = users = e > %temp%\subinacl_output.txt

• Change the values named YOURUSERNAME for the Windows user account to which you are connected to.

  Note:  YOURUSERNAME value must match the name of your user folder in c:\Documents and Settings (or c:\users on Windows Vista and higher).  You can also find the value to use for YOURUSERNAME by launching the Task Manager and looking at the user name in the user name for the process tab column.

• Save and close reset.cmd.
• In the cmd prompt, type reset.cmd and press ENTER to run the SubInACL tool.  This tool will take several minutes to run, and it requires that the user account you are using has administrator privileges on the system.  This is why it is necessary to run from an elevation prompt cmd on Windows Vista.  Step 2 above can be used to start a cmd prompt on Windows Vista.

• My 4 year, Dell inspiron 1525 laptop with Vista Home premium preinstalled windows keeps freezing almost as soon as it starts

  about the only way I can do anything, it is to run in SafeMode w / Networking command. When this first happened I thought maybe he had a virus an update of windows at first, so I updated & ran security essentials about 6 times when, which did not find anything, I then tried to install the defenders but could not install said I needed Silverlight installed so I tried to install it but who did not want to install so finally after more than a month of try me several times a day to give me a try. My fiancee and another roommate both said that it had to be a virus. And that one of them fix it since I couldn't.  Then they both tried for a week each so he can not constantly freeze as soon as it would boot up to the windows system screen system restore when I haven't tried had no restore points when I tried this return back.

  And now, it freezes not as quick, but when they did a system restore it says now that I need to reactivate my copy of windows but now here's my new problem when the laptop was sent to a new hard drive that they also gave me a new external case but am not currently able to read my key product code at the top of the bottom of my laptop , And it came with a copy preinstalled and stupid, I didn't find the product key code when I bought the laptop from Best Buys. And they gave me a bundle of discs pack but their was not a code product key on anything.
