  Hi people!

  I tried to apply the option on my laptop screen saver (Satellite P200), equipped with Vista Home Premium, but it does not; the laptop everything continues to run after the game of elapsed time. Is this a known problem with Vista? All suggestions received with gratitude, thank you!

  Hello

  Can I ask you if you use the Microsoft wireless mouse?
  I discovered that this may affect the functionality of the screensaver on Vista OS.

  Strange!

• My computer just watched run so slow & then the message continues to come does not, I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a Sony VAIO

  This just started about 2 weeks ago and it starts as soon as I opened my browser and it does matter not what browser I use. I have also a lot of page up latch and do ctrl alt del out of there because it crashes my cursor and we can do it all. I ran Microsoft Security Essentials to search for viruses and it came back clear, I did a disk cleanup and I cleaned my computer with a program I have and none of it helped. So if someone has something they know who can help, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  No security program finds all so do a thorough check of the malware.

  You say you "cleaned up my computer with a program I have.

  We recommend that you use that you use a registry or a program of cleaning/TuneUP/utilities, because they can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  Search for malware, if necessary using the safe mode with networking.

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

• Windows Update does not update Windows Vista platform.

  I recently tried to update my Windows Live Messenger and I get a message that I need this new platform update. The site for the update page told me just to run Windows Update and install it. However, after that Windows Update returns with no such update for my system. What can I do about it? I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. Please instruct me on how to get this update. I do not wish for the answers that tell me simply run the update client, which does not work for some reason any. My update client is also perfectly up-to-date. Any help is appreciated.

  The "platform update" required by Windows Live Messenger is not Windows Live application update security. It can be installed manually. The experts in the Windows Live forums will be able to help you to do (especially if you try to install Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 beta).

  In other words, it is a question of Windows Live Essentials, not an update of Windows (although Windows Update may offer updates to Windows Live Essentials).

• Hi iam trying to get a free update of vista home premium for windows7 edition Home premium, but have had no luck at all.

  Hello

  IAM doing the free upgrade from windows vista home premium to windows7 home premium but with no luck please help.

  Migration: Windows XP and Vista

  First, Windows XP and Windows Vista are not eligible versions for the free update, so you should have to buy a full version license.

  Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition

  In addition, Windows XP and Vista users will need to perform a custom installation, any attempt to start the installation of Windows 10 in legacy versions of Windows will trigger the following error message:

  

  Learn more: how: perform a customized Windows installation

  Keep in mind, the restoration works in Windows 10 can't stand not installs custom, so if you decide to go back to Windows XP or Vista, you have to reinstall it using original reinstall media. So try to create a backup of your installation, if it is important for you.

• Not to say could not upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I pre-ordered Windows 7 months with no indication that I couldn't switch from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional without performing a new installation.  Now I learn that I have to re - install all THE programs, once I have perform this upgrade / 'clean install '.  All the criticism of Windows Vista pales in comparison to my irritation at says this news AFTER the purchase, and not before.  Failure of the installation of the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to note any problem.  All previous Windows upgrades went flawless.  Needless to say I am extremely disappointed by this turn events and we hope that Microsoft will improve its pre-purchase counseling in the future.

  I guess I have no choice now but to do a clean install of Windows 7 and then reinstall on my computer that will put me out of use for a long period of time?  I backed up the entire hard drive before trying to install, but I doubt I can get by simply restoring this backup.  Is this correct?

  Hi pwcushman,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Windows Live OneCare Backup works in stages. You start by setting up how you want Backup to run and save the configuration. The backup will then run according to schedule and backup your files according to the saved configuration. You can make changes to this list or add other files and folders.

  You can restore all files and folders, but you will have to reinstall all the programs.
