• get the 0x400110020000100b error code while making the recovery of the system for windows vista 32 bit.

  I tried to do a system restore on my laptop using the included recovery disks and had this error 0x400110020000100B. The drive looked pretty beaten last week so I ordered a new series. Now, when I got to put disc 2 in (to 80% full) I get the same error.  I called customer service and he took me through the process of F9, nothing works and I also tried the F11 approach that made me not the case.  I'm frustrated because I don't really have the money for a new laptop computer.

  Laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6700.

  Any help would appreciated more than you know.

  The system is Windows Vista 32 bit

  The guy on the phone said ' well, you know it's a pretty old computer... Thank you gee...

  Hello:

  See if you can make your own Vista installation disc if you can read the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop.

  Here's how:

  If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

  You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

  The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

  The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

  When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

• How can I remove the Control Panel details at the bottom of windows?

  OK 21:00 tonight my keyboard fell from my bed and seems he has done something because it is now showing a panel at the bottom of all the folders on my computer, send me details about the drives, folders and so on, for example if I click on an image file it will tell me the name of the file , size, dimensions but also let me specify an taken date if no date is there, as well as let give me it tags, an author, a title, and the choice of 0 to 5 stars. I don't know what it is called or how to remove it, but for me it wasn't there until I use the classic windows shell btw, so it may be something in this but I have no idea.

  This is a picture I took showing what I mean:

• Wired or wireless connection. Was not identified until the restoration of the system. Windows Vista Ultimate

  I am currently on my laptop. I have my Windows Vista Home Premium desktop connected with a wire to the internet, and there is currently no link. I can't even connect wirelessly, and yet my laptop is fine with both. It was not identified until I restored the a few days before, and now he has no connection whatsoever. Type of emergency because my business is at a standstill right now because of this.  Edit: Where you plug your cable internet on your computer, it normally has a flashing beside him, but it currently isn't. I can plug the wire into my laptop and it works fine, but not with the office. So I know this isn't a problem of modem/router, it's a computer problem.

• Update for Windows Vista (KB2505189), updated platform for Windows Vista (KB2117917) Supplement - french and a security update Cumulative for the ActiveX for Windows Vista (KB2508272) stop bits

  I have update for Windows Vista (KB2505189), platform update Supplement for Windows Vista (KB2117917) - french and Cumulative security update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows Vista (KB2508272). These updates get the 8007371B error code. I have Windows Vista 32-bit. I searched the Microsoft catalog available and tried a manual installation for these updates, but they have always failed. I have not yet tried to install it in safe mode. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

  8007371B ERROR_SXS_TRANSACTION_CLOSURE_INCOMPLETE
  One or more required members of the transaction are not present.

  Only the specific return code can be solved by running system, aka CheckSUR update readiness tool -.

  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  CheckSUR for taken over all the versions of basic x 86 (32 bit) Windows Vista

  When you are prompted to save CheckSUR, choose to not run it.
  When the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.

  If the installed antivirus is Firewall Norton/McAfee party or a 3rd is used, then suggest you first boot system configuration before you run it.

  NOTE: In the clean boot state will be disabled all firewalls of part 3. Ensure that the native Vista firewall is now enabled - enable Windows Firewall on or off

  Now run CheckSUR (. Windows6 0-KB947821-v12-x 86.msu).
  Restart the system for the same configuration of boot clean and do a check for updates in Windows Update in Control Panel.
  If the system can search, detect, download, and install updates now, save an update of a subsequent test.

  If the system can or cannot now, cancel the clean boot configuration and restart in normal Windows mode.
  See if the registered update installs now.

  If the system still cannot install the updates, please copy and paste the contents of one of the newspapers that CheckSUR created when he ran. They are located in and are named

  Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
  Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

  If the system can install the updates in the clean boot configuration, but not in normal mode of Windows, then there are 3rd party software which is the origin of the update installation problem.
