  I lost sound after installing Vista SP1 Ultimate on my HP Pavilion Dv4... everything was fine before. Help, please.

  Go to the HP support website and search for Windows Vista drivers for your specific model number. Also look for recent updates, even if your PC comes with Windows Vista preinstalled.

• How can I reinstall MS OneNote2003 after installing Vista?

  Hello everyone,

  I was a bit confused of the 'ExpressUpgrade' action, because I first thought I would get
  a DVD-Windows Vista upgrade, but as I can see in ModusLink he is named "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD"... OK, it's done now, but that's why I have other questions:

  There was additional software and utilities already installed (I have a Satellite P100 - 463 WinXP).
  I know that there is this "step by step Toshiba DVD" who has first updates the BIOS, install Vista and then the drivers needed and utility (as "Toshiba Assist" and all the others, I guess). As it is written in the guide step by step, all programs etc. will be deleted, as formatting of the hardddisk, ok.

  But with the laptop, there wasn't "MS Office OneNote 2003" already installed and this program, I have not found on one of the DVD / CD. On the CD is 'MS Works 8.5' and on 'Tools-CD"that I was burning of 'C:\toolscd' there are things like"InterVideo Win DVD Creator"(the player) and"recorder of Sonic.

  On the "Recovery-DVD" is just the Image of Windows XP preinstalled + software etc and I think of course, there is also the OneNote2003, but like I said I can't find the setup.exe from OneNote2003 anywhere...

  Or could it be that OneNote2003 will also be installed with the installation of Vista? What is a "core" Vista, don't not patched by Toshiba? As I was reading in the Vista_Express_Upgrade_instruction_multilanguage.pd f (the manual "upgrade progressive", first BIOS is up to date, then installed Vista and here again I have to use the toshiba DVD to install the software and drivers...) Is it only "utiltities' as"Toshiba Assist"or as software?

  Last question: update after the BIOS that is needed for Vista, is still possible to install the "old" Windows XP + stuff pre-installed recovery-DVD or this BBIOD goof only for Vista update and I cannot restore the original recovery image?

  And anyway, can I install new stuff like Works 8.5 etc. on Vista or will I have problems with it?

  Thanks for the replies.
  Greetings, launchee

  Hi kai

  I know that the Vista upgrade is a bit confusing
  So I'll try to clarify some things:

  1.) Toshiba Recovery XP CD contains all Toshiba drivers, utilities and tools, as well as additional programs like OneNote, Win DVD, etc.
  It is not possible to install this software separately without using the recovery CD because these programs are part of the image.

  2.) as far as I know the received "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD of moduslink company is not a restore CD but the real Windows Vista installation CD. That's why you need to install all the tools of Toshiba and the drivers after installing Vista. This CD does not include additional software such as OneNote or WinDVD

  So finally, you will be able to install Works 8.5 on Vista because you have one working on CD separately but it s not possible to install OneNote from recovery CD

  But you can try another way. You could create a second partition and you could install the Vista to the second partition.
  Laptop you would use the two operating system; XP and Vista. The Vista also provides a clean boot manager.
  Therefore, it is very easy to switch between the two OS's.

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Error 0 x 80041003 after installing Vista?

  I get the following error message after installing Vista on my laptop. It causes the computer freezes. It will also freeze after restarting. I have not installed anything, or deleted all the programs. After researching on the forums, I discovered that it is a Vista/Microsoft error that happens regardless of the manufacturer of the computer or installed equipment.

• Unknown devices after installing Vista on Satellite Pro U200

  Yesterday, I installed vista ultimate, but unfortunately my U200 is not compatible with vista because the tile would make me believe.
  What does not work I have identified to date:
  -Speakers and headphone jack
  -Function keys
  -Fingerprint reader

  Almost any of the included toshiba software installs even after disabling "control of Application Security."

  Does anyone know where I can get the new drivers and software or when they become available?

  Otherwise really like Vista. It is very reactive and simplifies many tasks. This is very pretty too, but this isn't my priority.
  Any help gratefully received
  See you soon

  This might help others with similar problems. I was able to get evrything working except my shortcut keys.

  Here are several tips:
  You should try to open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, then click on diagnose and repair.

• Satellite A100-237: unknown device after installing Vista

  Hi all

  Just installed vista on my A100-237... After doing the upgrade of the BIOS and the installation of the "unknown device" Value Pack, with the location "on system compatible ACPI Microsoft" appeared in my device manager, any ideas on how to address this issue?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Could you please check if you can see the 'Batteries' entry under ' computer in Device Manager?
  As far as I know that the entrance of batteries should have a "Microsoft SMART Battery" & "Microsoft SMART Battery subsystem.

  If there is an unknown device, this might have something to do with Microsoft ACPI Compliant Embedded Controller.
  In this case it seems that you need a driver for MS SMART SMART Battery & MS battery subsystem.

• Internet problems after installing vista SP2

  I'm running IE8 and yesterday I installed Vista Service Pack 2.  After the installation, I got an internet connection, but could not access all pages including my home page.  The pages would hang and the little blue circle would go round and round and nothing happened.  I also have Firefox downloaded on my computer, and still the same thing happens again.

  I checked my system tools in the lower right of the desktop and my icon for connectivity internet local and internet had a red cross on it that has not changed.  I restarted my computer several times and nothing has changed.  I used the prompt commands and ping google (my homepage) and found within seconds, so the connection was there but not able to access all pages.

  I am running Vista Home Premium as my 32-bit operating system.

  To cure the problem so far, I did system restore and completely got rid of the installation.  As soon as I did, my internet was totally fine with IE8 and Firefox.

  Any suggestions, I won't install SP2 again until I know what has caused the problem of the internet, and he was healed.

  Hi Smokeycat,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.
   
  Since you have already restored the computer and the internet works fine, try to reinstall the stand-alone version of Service pack 2. Later, try to connect to the Internet.
   
  You have security software installed on the computer? If so, try disabling the security software and install the stand-alone version of service pack 2.
   
  Try to install the stand-alone package for Windows Vista Service pack 2, access the link below and download the file to the desktop. Later, run the installation of Service pack 2 from the office.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en
   
  If the problem persists after you have installed the stand alone package, reply came back with the details:

  1. try to boot into safe mode with network after installation of Service pack 2 and try to access Internet
  2. in normal mode, try to right click on the network icon in the taskbar and click on diagnose and repair, if it gives any error make a note of it and we gives the error.
  3 - is wireless to a wired connection?
  4. do you have any router installed?
   
  I hope this helps.

• Boot problems after installing Vista SP2 (KB948465)

  I installed SP2 via update.  During the update process there was a power failure.  After that (I don't remember if it's immediately after, or if a few days elapsed) I had problems with the startup.  Initially, seemed the Startup Repair to fix the problem, but not permanently, and the Startup Repair had to be used repeatedly just to start.

  After a few times of what is happening, Startup Repair did not turn, and the PC wouldn't start.  After about 5 attempts using the decision-making power, sometimes choose the Startup Repair, sometimes choose to load windows normally, he did start.
  I immediately did a system restore to return my PC before SP2 was installed.

  After the restoration of versions prior to SP2, Windows Update showed that the SP2 update failed.  It was on 9 November.  As I need my computer, I didn't reinstall SP2 until I had finished this work.

  As I thought that the problem is probably caused by the power outage, on 10 September, I reinstalled SP2.  Windows Update show no SP2 as an available update, then I downloaded and installed the standalone update.

  Between the 10th and today, 14, Windows Update has installed more than updated.

  Today, I was unable to start for the first time since the reinstall SP2 and Startup Repair has allowed me to open a session.
  I tried to uninstall SP2 via update.  The first part of it seemed to work, but when it came to reboot, the PC stopped at the end power to the bottom of the procedure.  I used the power switch to turn the PC back on.  After startup, the PC told me that deletion failed.

  Then I tried the system restore.  Unfortunately, the first available restore point was post - SP2 installation.  I restored it for the point that is as close as I could.  I tried to uninstall SP2 again through Windows Update.  This time, I receive a generic error message immediately (less than a second) - it does not attempt to go through the configuration - restart the procedure.

  I haven't restarted my PC since then.  Most updates have been downloaded automatically, and the PC tells me that a restart is required.  I'm a little worried that I will end up with a completely insensitive PC.

  I use an Acer Aspire X 3200 with Vista home premium pre-installed.  I don't have a Vista disc.
