error code 80070490, installation disc, and company did the door is no longer this computer

I know that this problem has been addressed several times, but I can't find an answer that can help me.  Bought my Dell Inspiron from Staples in 2008 and it came with the installation disc.  Staples is no longer wearing my computer and have not been very helpful with previous problems.  I sometimes get the updates installed, but since 16/01/09 updates, most have failed.  I was wondering what are the options with regard to getting this fixed a problem I had.

Thank you very much

I have already indicated at the beginning of this answer on how to access the info about the recovery Partition, if you have one (what you should do)

How to get Vista recovery Media.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

Call Dell and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

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

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

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

    Try using the wizard adding printer in the Control Panel, printers. In the wizard, select EPSON under manufacturer. If you don't see your printer in the list, click the Windows Update button. It will take several minutes (about 20) be patient, Windows updates the list. You should see a hard drive activity during the update.

  • Error code 80070490 while search/checking the Windows updates.

    IHaving tried to solve a recent problem that occurs with Windows Update (error Code 80070490) I read and try different things that have been suggested on this forum. It appears after trying the SFC, there are a few problems with the registry that cannot be resolved automatically. I tried the automatic Microsoft difficulty he 50202 but that does not solve it. I tried a system restore, but there is no restore point before the update I managed successfully to do (31 October 2009). So finally, I tried the repair facility that suggest the majority of people. I've had this laptop since February 2009, and Vista was preinstalled. I have the DVD of resettlement for Vista Home Premium 32 BIT and have not added anything about myself, but when I try to do the upgrade to install it says it is disabled and that he needs at least a current version or the more recent than the version I am running. I don't see how it can be less common because it is the version that I've been running for 9 months and the DVD that I was sent with the laptop. I am now on the ideas and suggestions...

    Fraser,
    Well restoring factory would correct any problems if they are strictly related to software.

    If you do a normal upgrade to Windows 7 and the problems you are currently experiencing are the question within the registry, then it is likely that they could remain after the upgrade.  Now, if you perform a Custom Installation upgrade press she will move to your current Windows directory to a new folder (Windows.old) and then it will install properly.  Of course, with this option, you will need to reinstall your applications.
    If you buy a copy of Windows 7 in another country just make sure that you get the correct language and that it is a valid copy.  (Also check the version of Windows.)  You shouldn't have any problems once you get back.  Here are some links with information about Windows 7 and upgrade considerations.

    I hope this helps.

  • I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only one who uses this computer__

    I cannot perform certain functions because he says that I'm not an administrator, but it's my computer and I'm the only person who uses this computer

    What are the functions? More global changes (changes to the system, software installation) require an elevation in Vista/Windows 7.

    Changes to the built-in Vista administrator account

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=942956

    User - recommended configuration (Vista and Win7) accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all other Windows 7, Vista, and modern operating systems are operating systems multi-user with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work you want to do. Better not to get into a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
