Dell 531 Vista Home Premium as long as the factory restore

• Someone help me fix this error in my Vista Home premium. I tried the system restore too.

  C:\Windows\system32\wshbth.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.

  Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and run Autoruns by using the tab all.  Search for wshbth.dll and if you find it remove the control to prevent it from running at startup.  Click OK and restart.  The message should be gone.

  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.

  Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Original title: ACER GRRRRR!  Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?

  I need to reformat my laptop Acer Aspire 5520, but Acer WON'T provide me with the disks required to do... so my question is this; How can I reformat without having to buy a new drive for Windows Vista?  I went to the site of the Acers and downloaded all the drivers, applications, and the bios, but I can't find anywhere on Windows.  Can anyone help?
  Thank you in advance for your help!

  with an acer you never drives with him press Alt + F10 when you see the Acer start at startup screen

  who should begin the process of recovery back to factory settings

  Acer has do provide you with a way to reinstall vista, either way or a recovery (Alt + F10) on your disk partition hard or using recovery discs

  and read this:

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

• After a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium, how long will it take to run updates and it will take a lot of bandwidth?

  updates after clean install of Vista Home premium

  I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop two year old, which will require a clean install of Vista Home Edition full.  I live in a remote with the satellite internet service.  I would like to know in advance what will happen after the installation with the updates of the program.  I will ask you to install them? It would take a lot of bandwidth?

  Hi EllenCB,

  Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

  Once you make a clean installation on your hard drive is erased. Now, when you install the operating system return updates that have been deleted will be delivered by Windows update to install on your computer. To save time and bandwidth, you can directly install Service pack 1 and Service pack 2 for Vista which would contain more updates. Of course when you run Windows update and when you try to download from the internet, your download speed will decrease. It is best to keep your system up to date which will allow your version of Windows to run better.

  Before installing the update, run the checksur tool, this tool is running an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. Download the tool from the link below.

• Windows 7 upgrade from Vista Home Premium fails continuously at the end

  I tried to spend 3 times.  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade advisor, and he said that I can directly switch to the 32-bit version of W7.  I currently have 2 SP installed in Vista Home Premium.

  When I run the upgrade, it goes through all the steps successfully. While in the part near the end of the process data conversion (about 5 hours) the system restarts in W7 and then I got an error message stating that the version is not compatible and it cancels automatically to Vista Home Premium.

  Help, please!

• Windows Vista Home Premium update froze during the 'configuration' June 30, 2009.

  Received notification of five updates to install on my computer Windows Vista Home Premium, one of them being Internet Explorer 8.   All the downloaded slowly.   Each of them appeared to install, but slowly and I left the computer while he was installing the 3rd update.   When I came back it had evolved in the 'Configuration' screen (always see after there are updates and it restarts) and sat there for hours.   It reads "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3, 0% complete.  The percentage of nevers turns off 0%.   I finally turned off the computer and when she started he said windows had not closed properly so I chose the Safe Mode option.   He immediately went the same configuration screen.  I left it again for 4 hours, but no change.   What should I do?

  The laptop is a HP tablet PC.

  Here's how to uninstall the ones you don't want.

  And how to change the settings of update and IE8 HIDE update!

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• When install Vista Home Premium computer hangs on the language selection screen. No visible cursor, the keyboard and the mouse does not.

  Hi, when I try to install vista that Home Premium 32 bits on the computer of my son, through the installation of loading files with the gray bar at the bottom, then goes to the screen language selection, at this stage, I can not select anything using the keyboard or the mouse. There is no cursor visible. Keyboard and mouse both work fine in the bios and on other machines. Have used other keyboards and mice on the machine in question, but that makes no difference. Tried another copy of vista, no difference. Tested on Windows 7 install and everything works fine!

  Very confused, thinking that it must be a driver problem, but how about him? Any help is appreciated!

  Hi Rickydg,

  Thanks for posting. Please contact ASUS and see if there is a BIOS update available for your system. Update the BIOS and then try to install again.

  I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

• Vista Home Premium Screensaver Aurora and the energy of Windows

  Since 3 weeks I have had really bad luck with 2 of your screensavers and my 4 graphics cards. I'm not sure what kind of screensavers guys do but 2 named Aurora and Windows energy should never have been released to the public without testing, including the impact on your GPU and overheating.

  In the last 3 weeks I was troubleshooting problem vista Home Premium 32 - bit Windows and freezing issues. Card provided with the computer was GeForce 6150 TO work for about 2 months and then computer began to do bad things, freeze, stop, don't work sometimes and some other questions. I thought it was bad GPU so I replaced it with my HIS ATI Radeon X 1950 Pro, this card gave me warnings 12 hours after it has been installed that card is running a little hot and the ATI software will lower FREQ map. This card lasted about 2 days and he died too, but this time model would be just weird points and not whole screen is unreadable. I installed the program called the fan speed to monitor and record what is happening with this card. Computer has been used for business only IE and a few other small programs where ran, no games or anything. Since my last card was fried I replaced it with my GeForce 7900 GT OC, this card gave me the nice amount of needed data, but at the same time, this card lasted only 3 days.

  I thought as the fans run at full speed and becomes pleasant cooling perhaps is the PCI-E slot which is a short or something, wrong.
  Today I went to the store to buy PCI card, got nice $65 GeForce 6200 and plugged in, the fan speed is ready to record everything, Idle temperatures where 41 C for 47 of the CPU and GPU. I was doing some defragment and antivirus, trying to run the CPU at 100% and record what is happening that I was also running Media player and other programs with Visual effects to see if I can push this cards Temp. above its limits, after 2 hours of messing around with this, I gave up and is gone to smoke a cigarette, returned screensaver has been running (Aurora btw) off and checked the temp. Newspaper.

  Fan speed showed warning and GPU temp to 85 C. Then I then and tried the same thing on the screen saver Windows energy and got the same results, just go inside the screensaver and clicking on Aurora screensaver will bring your cards temp at least 5 c in a second.

  Since I do not use Vista (and will never) on my home computer, I was wondering if someone with the GTX 200 series can try and test this point and see how many temp. changes on his rig during this operation. I my rig with windows XP pro and don't know if I can get Aurora or energy of Windows XP to test it on my GTX 260 sli.

  Thank you

  I would check the power supply. A screen saver will NOT cause to burn three cards. MCDST

• I have Windows Vista Home Premium and according to the sites (Microsoft), it is a FREE upgrade to Windows 7, is this correct and where do I go to find the Site to download free upgrade?

  Upgrade Vista to Windows 7

  There is no free upgrade available currently. There was a promotion, but it ended two years ago.

  I heard that if you buy Vista you get a copy of Windows 7 free
  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010.

• to run aero, but msfix-it reports need driver wddm compatible. Can't get one from dell. running vista home premium.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

  You should always get your drivers from the manufacturer.

  Link above is where you should find your Vista drivers
  If it is not obtained by Dell, and you have integrated graphics, you are out of luck...

  If you have a separate graphics card, look at the Web site of the manufacturer for the latest Vista drivers.

  See you soon.

• Installed Windows Vista Home premium sp2 by using the recovery disk, need to activate product key

  Hi-

  I recently partion on my computer hp laptop and installed windows vista family premium with the recovery disk I got with the laptop I have this laptop for about 4 years, I have the product ID-89578-oem-7332157-00204. If possible can I get the product key to my email * address email is removed from the privacy * because that's what I was told by hp when I asked them why they said that my warranty is over, but my windows cd must be functional and ask microsoft. If you could really help me, I really need because I am a user of autocad as a computer architect, it's the only thing that I have money on working hard.

  Hello

  the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part

  It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer

  Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily

  and good luck with it

• After removing the Tdss rootkit, computer laptop My Windows Vista Home Premium keeps restarting after the connection. __

  I had the Tdss rootkit on my laptop and removed using TDSS Killer of Kasperky. After the reboot, I have connected and saw a box that displays "Please Wait". After 5 to 10 seconds, my computer restarts. After the reboot, it shows options for Windows Vista loading, i.e. the safe mode, safe mode with network. I chose the mode safe mode with networking and everything works fine. The system properties box opens automatically. When I try to boot into normal mode, he repeated restart after the connection. I tried to run a restore of the system into safe mode with networking, but it tells me something about the system restore is in mode offline. I hit a brick wall and don't know what to do next. I don't want to if I have more options to factory default restore.

  The TDSS rootkit is very destructive.  It is not uncommon to make a computer work is not properly after removing it.  I advise you to restore your computer to factory default.  Not only is this the best option, it's the safest option.  I wouldn't consider the computer to be trusted without going through the restore process.  Even if you can be sure that 100% of the infection has been removed, you have no way of knowing what changes the malware made to the settings on your computer, which may be exceptionally vulnerable to future malware attacks.
