Does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program?

Original title: does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program? Which option is it on Vista? Hit reboot? Or off, wait and then start up?

I was told that if you add or remove a prgram, after it installs you need to 'reboot '.

Is this true?

Does this mean that, after the program is installed, you must reach the restart button? Or press 'stop' and then again wait a minute and then be able to save the PC?

Hello

Often an installation or uninstallation of will need to reboot to complete and it never hurts except for the
time it takes.

A reboot is usually sufficient.

I hope this helps.

    then he said, other options: If food was interuppted when booting, choose start windows normally. It then gives the other options such as safe mose and last known good configuration.

    I tried selecting start windows normally and safe mode, but it just goes to the windows boot manager with: cannot start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem: 1 insert the windows installation disc, and then restart the computer, 2. choose your language settings and then click on 'next', 3 click on "repair your computer".

    I hope that you will be able to give me a little help because I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm pretty much at my wits end now and start to pull on my hair!

     

    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 restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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

    Link above 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.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • E4310 does not recognize the DVD after installed WIN7 drive

    My wife has an E4310 who was no longer necessary to his office. She knows that I like to tinker with computers and the machine seems to be a decent unit. The hard disk has been removed for commercial reasons, so I installed an SSD without any hitch. I also installed WIN7 use of the DVD player.

    Now the problem. The DVD player appears and tested very well using the bios but does not appear in the disk manager in WIN7. I tried several different suggestions I have read here and nothing works. It tells me that the question is somewhere in the operating system.

    Has anyone else had this problem or heard a fix?

    The trick to delete upper and lower filter in the registry did not.

    The program 'detect?"Dell has not helped.

    I tried a few other things that I don't remember now - I've been at this for hours, this one has really confused me. All suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi AXMRDR,

    Thanks for the detailed response.

    To test the built in admin account. The standard user account will be several changes in the operating system to find out the registry. Built in admin account will have its own hive. This could help isolate if the question is related or not.

  • Impossible to reformat the computer after the OEM disc error: check the model number.

    Original title: Updated Windows and now I can't reformat my Sony Vaio... why?

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E, only thing replaced was the battery, so no problem of "tattoo", but the software, discs and OEM disks say "check model number", won' t reformat the computer and install the factory specifications... Not called Sony, they have no idea because they are Sony.  Looking for people online say it happens after a windows update.  the model number is always in the BIOS, but don't know what model number, it's the computer for some reason any.

    How can I get it to reformat or should I switch to ubuntu if I reformat?

    I think the best is to start a thread here:

    Because I don't have a Vaio, there's not much I can do to help you. I'm sorry.
  • Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans?

    Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans? It does this to me almost everytime I have the King stuck, but when my King is stuck, I lose each time. WTH?

    original title: circulation of Chess Titans

    If its your turn and you can make any legal move either with any piece, but your King is not in check, it is then deadlock. Deadlock is considered a match draw in standard chess rules. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate .

    If your King is in check and you can immediately do a legal process to get out then check it's checkmate. For the person who the King is in check, this counts as a loss. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate .

    In the two scenarios above, can even vice versa (it may apply to your opponent too).

    If the above explains what you see in Chess Titans then the program is correctly following standard rules and it is not a bug in the program. If she does not explain what you see then please explain more precisely the scenario.

I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?

    Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.

    Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.
