Windows Installer is GONE. Please help me. My computer (windows Vista) will not be updated or install anything. I looked at microsoft, and there are no drivers that are obvious to me.
I think I did too many updates at the same time and it has messed up my Installer. I ran 3 virus different scans so I'm sure that this is not a virus. Looking for drivers from microsoft and nothing. I'm really frusterated with this one. If you need information, just send me an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *.
Hi webchikk61,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
· (Numbers KB) updates you install?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format
I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.
Try to use SeaTools for Windows. See also: Seagate Installation Assistance
Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

Hey Brian39
If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista
your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.
and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer
If a retail license, you can change the motherboard
but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

Windows Vista will not download
Help. My HP G50 will start but the Windows Vista will not download. I pressed the keys F 10 and 11 F. The memory is good. I backed up my files using the F 11 Save function. I tried to go back to an earlier date using System Restore, no results. Can reset the computer by default, there is work in the F 11 key and then recover my files. Do I need a recovery disk?
Thanks for the reply. I made the. Backup of files Wizard. At the end she asks 'Please insert the USB key' - I suppose to download files on an external drive. Well I bought an external drive and connect it to the USB port, nothing happens. He said only: "no available drive. What should I do now. I did all the steps, according to HP said on their site of troubleshooting online and this is the last step. I will not buy an HP again. A friend recommends a Sony.

Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover
I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...
-Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.
-The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.
-Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.
-In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt
Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line
Hello
If you are unable to enter the BIOS and all the other problems, you have hardware problems
and need the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and glances at a Best Buy or any other
Department stores) or Support of HP/Compaq.

Windows Vista will not complete installation on SATA hard drive
I tried to install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a new desktop computer Acer X 1200 (less than 1 year). Vista recognizes the drive, format and copy all the files on the disk installation. Then restarts, is preparing to launch for the first time and get to the part where it says installation finished and hangs there. The green progress bar does not move and it hangs indefinitely. The hard drive is SATA and I put a new disc in hard, but exactly the same thing happened. The motherboard has no IDE port on it and there is no option in the BIOS for the IDE emulation. At this point I think the motherboard is bad, but I am working also on a laptop HP 1 year with SATA hard drive that does exactly the same thing. The two systems are pre-installed with Vista Home Premium. The two systems see the hard drive, but will not complete installation. I even tried to run the WD Tools Data Lifeguard before installation with no luck at all. There is no error message or error code, just of hangs and end no installation. You have any suggestions for this? Thank you.
What was my problem I bought the equipment... like motherboard, memory, cpu, and video
Vista would not be install.would blow on the end of the installation so I tried to put it natively and it worked!

Windows Vista will not be validated after clean install
Windows key, title: product original vesta H P,.
buy windows key, product vesta p h, it will not be validated after a clean installation, only to discover, to upgrade only, that cost me $ 160 in two, three years ago, can aney help, how to fix this, davie.
Hi David,
Install and activate the original operating system provided with the computer first (I guess it's XP).
Update to upgrade to Vista, then use the Vista product key that you used at the time to update (because it works now as you WILL upgrade and do not try to install only a facility full after an installed clean).
Good luck!

Windows Vista will not stop or restart
When I try to quit or restart my computer, the screen indicates "SHUTTING DOWN", then the display shuts off, the power light goes off on the tower but increases the speed of the fan at maximum speed and the unit will continue to operate in this way until I have turn it off manually. When I try to turn the computer back on I get the same thing, the lights and the fan runs at maximum speed nothing else happens, the monitor does not come on or anything else, he just 'buzzes '. I'm not the only person having this problem, I know at least two other people who have exactly the same problem! I was told that a faulty update of Microsoft is to blame for the problem I encounter but I can't find a "solution" for this anywhere. I can do to remedy this? Need help please, I can't afford to buy a new computer at the moment and unable to restart, my computer works perfectly. All this trouble started about three weeks ago. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer me.

Thank you for your reply Diana, unfortunately I already took my computer to an expert for repair. I should be back soon, and I'll post the results and the 'fix', if possible, here, for others, who may be affected by the same problems.
