  I thought maybe some sort of virus, but I deleted the partition, re-created, formatted, it twice and reinstalled vista.  Same thing is happening. Have searched online to find answers, see a lot of people with this issue, but have not seen one resolution, other than the downgrade to XP because it only seems to happen with XP.

  Anyone has any ideas where I should post this, or where to start to a solution?

  Someone told me because of vision problems, I was able to get a free upgrade to Windows 7. Someone knows something about it?

  Picton1,

  There is no free upgrade to Windows 7 for Vista users unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer of your system.

  Contact you the manufacturer of the system for more information.

• Tips for Vista users

  Hi all

  as I see it, these updates so much expected of Moduslink begin finally to flow, so I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to share experiences, I gathered in recent months.

  First of all, I did a LOT of research before Vista was released and decided to do the upgrade for the following reason:

  -Format and clean install not possible: MS changes its licensing policy so that upgrades can be installed since breast the previous installed Windows, which means that all OS reinstalls require XP installation first. Earlier Versions of Windows allowed by using the 'Previous Windows' CD as Validation for the upgrade.

  For this reason (and also not really want to wait until April for Vista), I decided to buy a "System Builder" edition I intend to buy the Home Premium, as this edition would be enough in fact for me, but that the Ultimate of SB edition was only 70 Euros more, I decided to go to Ultimate. Here are the benefits that apply to my case:

  -Ultimate is capable "Multilanguage": my Windows is the German Version and I love being able to "Switch language" when I want to.
  -Full backup PC with Image: I'm not hink I need to talk about the importance THAT is ;-)
  -The 'Ultimate Extras' are indeed pretty cool (no obligation, but 'Nice to have')

  I thought that these reasons for 70 Euros ;-) indeed

  Before installing my Vista, I gathered all the drivers and programs that I needed. I researched if the installed Applications that were pre-installed with XP on my laptop would go with Vista. My laptop (Purchsed 23.12.2006) came up with the following applications preinstalled:

  -MS Office OneNote 2003
  -Intervideo WinDVD 5
  -Sonic Record now

  WinDVD and Sonic are on the drivers CD that I created under XP. OneNote is located on my C: drive (I think C:\Windows\Downloaded programs, but I do not remember).

  Comaptability:

  -Sonic: Doesn't work well with Vista. Since I already have Nero 7, it didn't matter to me. Nero works fine with Vista.
  -WinDVD 5: doesn't work well with Aero. I decided to purchas WinDVD 8 gold for 29 Euros and will not regret!
  -MS OneNote 2003: works well with Vista with 1 annoying side effect; If you are running Vista with a Standard (Non-Admin) user account, you WILL be asked to accept the license agreement EVERY time that you start OneNote. This is because MS records the acceptance of the EULA in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office), where a Standard user cannot write to. To save the trouble of this just do the following:

  Open Regedit as an administrator and navigate to the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office and right click on "Desktop", go to "Berechtigungen" and give users full access to the key. After that, all standard users only be asked once to accept the EULA.

  A Note for the drivers of Toshiba:

  The drivers for the Grapich of Nvidia chip, as well as the WLAN Intel 3945ABG chip are exceeded. You can get the most recent driver for WLAN directly from Intel. Because the laptop manufacturers rarely updated their video drivers (which is very BAD for players), I strongly suggest that you visit www.laptopvideo2go.com. These guys make the effort to get the current Nvidia drivers and modify the INF file to be formatted for mobile devices. It's a 'Must Have' for your IE Favorites!

  Reading DVD with Media Player:

  If you suffer from poor quality of playing DVDs (jerky video), then take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932649/en-us

  I hope that sharing my experiences with Vista so far is able to help some of you to adapt to Vista. Vista is really a great operating system it can work fine on Toshiba laptops!

  Good luck in your endeavours of Vista!

  It * may * be for 2 processors. These 2 processors MUST be on the same physical motherboard.

  You use WIndows out-of-contract of license and will have to purchase a new license to the second machine.

• InPro Comm IPN2220 Wireless LAN Card - need driver for Vista OS

  Hello

  I'm new to the Forum and I think that it is just the place to get answers to my questions?

  OK, I use the laptop Toshiba Equium L10 and I just downloaded and installed the "public" version of Microsoft Windows VISTA beta 2.
  The installation went very well and it took about 40 minutes and considering that it is only a 1.50 GHz Celeron (M), which was very good, but I'm having problems to make a software/driver for my '' integrated '' InPro Comm IPN2220 Wireless LAN Card, so for now, I can not connect to the internet on this subject. (On the bottom of the laptop, it has ' FOXCONN T60N871 802.11 b/g W/LAN Card "which I think is the real name for 'InPro Comm IPN2220 Wireless LAN Card'.)

  I installed the software/driver LAN wireless from the utility CD, and although the software seems to be no problem, Windows does not detect the card and does not install the driver for it. I also tried Win Vista update, but nothing is found.

  Does anyone know ho to get the software/driver to install properly so that Windows Vista can detect the card and install the driver and software?

  If not, does anyone know of a driver updated for VISTA BETA2?

  I would really like to keep Vista Beta2 on my L10 so if anyone has some tips that will get my built-in wireless card works, I would be very grateful. (BTW, I don't have a 'wired LAN').

  Hello

  These days, a lot of users wrote vista and their experiences with the installation. As you know that officially there are no drivers available. I think that Toshiba will offer all the drivers at the point where vista is officially on the market.

  You can post on this tread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13771 maybe Brave will give you more information about the installation on its L10.

• Satellite P100 - 286 PSPAG: need new nVidia 7900 GS driver for Vista

  As with a number of other posters I've read, the graphics performance on my P100 with a nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS are not good on Vista 32 bit. Frequent stuttering after a few moments of reasonably moderate use.

  The latest driver on the Toshiba site is only 9748 since 15/03/07 and the nVidia site does not provide for the 7900 GS Go Vista drivers.

  laptopvideo2go site appears to be in trouble at the moment, but some drivers tried it with no difference in performance in any case.

  Any suggestions? Does anyone know if Toshiba are planning to make a new Vista driver anytime soon? Is this typical Vista teething probs, and I have to just wait until SP1 later in the year?

  The P100 is a computer laptop, nice, but being paralyzed at the moment by the graphics card.

  Hello

  I noticed that some users have reported a graphic stutter only while playing games.
  But after installing Windows XP graphic stuttering is gone!

  I also read on the results of 3DMark and Win XP gets much better results under Win Vista. I think that the most important reason is that Vista needs a lot more material resources as first Microsoft OS.

  In any case, I think that the first service pack for Vista Microsoft will increase the performance of Vista and games will run smoothly.

• Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the e-mail and the password

  Original title: Multi users

  Is it possible to set up for multiple users on the same computer to avoid entering the email and password every time that a new user want to check emails?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. According to the description, you need help in the creation of multiple user accounts. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

  What is the operating system installed on the computer?

  User accounts, several people can easily share a single computer. Each person can have a separate user account with unique settings and preferences, such as a screen saver or desktop background. User accounts control files and programs users can access and what types of changes users can make to the computer. As a general rule, you'll want to create standard accounts for most computer users.

  If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7, see the article below:

  Create a user account

• Preparation tool update system for Vista

  Vista Home premium 32-bit with Vista SP3

  Norton Internet Security 2010

  back in June 2010, I received an update to run the preparation tool update for Vista system. I ran that tool, but may not have let finish because it took almost an hour with no end... not sure if the tool ran and completed its function. Now, I've read that the process of this tool work can take well over an hour

  Anyway, nothing thought up until this last week

  I installed Norton Internet Security 2010 last week. I noticed that Norton detected a kind of error with ccSvcHst.exe function program and the error code was

  0 x 80070490

  which seems to indiacte something wrong with my Vista operating system

  I went and made a check of updates from microsoft, but the tool is not yet available

  Norton forums suggested that the tool must be run again. I noticed there is a more recent version of the tool (seven 29, 2010) than what I ran in June 2010

  ALLOW ME TO NOTE THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH RETRIEVE AND PROCESS THE MICROSOFT UPDATES > UPDATES MICROSOFT INSTALL WITHOUT PROBLEMS

  1 should I I manually run the system update readiness tool again? (I now understand that I need to leave him alone and let him finish) I know that the current tool was revised in September 2010.

  2. can I cause system problems if I run the tool again?

  3. what version of the tool manually should I download and run x 86 vista or vista x 64? MYSYSTEM is vista Home premium 32-bit and a dual core processor

• My computer didn't work since I installed SP2 for Vista

  After installing service pack 2 for Vista my computer restarted itself and everything that appears is the screen with the following message Windows Boot Manager:

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
  2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
  3. click on "Repair your computer."

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  File: \Windows\system32\drivers\pci.sys
  Status: 0xc0000098
  Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  No matter what I do, the computer always comes back to the screen. I tried to insert my installation disc, but the computer does not recognize it. (I have no Vista disks, I have the installation disc that came with my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.

  Suggestions?

  1 make the repair disk Bootable from the info below and do a startup repair.

  2 Dell reinstall info.

  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 restore does not work, do a repair disc 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 falls into the above category: 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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  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.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  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.

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