Hard drive of my computer Acer failed and I need to get media for Windows Vista. Where can I get?
Hard drive of my Acer computer has failed... blah!
Hard drive of my Acer computer has crashed. Acer will not give me the Microsoft Vista software to use with the new hard drive, I need to have installed (my computer is 4 years old, and Acer said that he was in front of a 3-year window...), and there was never any instructions to create recovery disks (of course, I discovered that these recovery disks do not work in all cases). I am reluctant to spend another $200 for another (! *!) Vista disc. I already had to replace the power supply and memory on this Acer upgrade.
What are my options?
You can buy a 'Full Version' edition of Windows 7 to Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.

Hello
The operating system on the hard drive Acer you've changed a HP machine is a preinstalled OEM Windows license and an OEM license is related to the first machine that it has been installed in this case, your «broken» Acer machine
This license OEM "dies" when the original of the machine it has been installed on the "dies." in this case your Acer.
You have canceled the license of Windows that has been in the Acer as an OEM license is not transferable.
Retail sales only Windows licenses are transferable.
And that a facility is both permitted with a license to retail.
See you soon.

Is someone can you please tell me when Google Chrome will stop supporting 2007 Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista Home
Go Mary
I posted a substitution for Vista and XP operating systems. Please follow my instructions in this thread, or switch to Mozilla Firefox or Opera browser:
http://www.MSFN.org/Board/topic/175099-instructions-Google-chrome-end-of-support-VistaXp/
I always highly recommend to switch to Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or one of many other supported browsers.
While my dose turns off the message, you will NO longer receive updates of Google Chrome.
Given that Microsoft will support Vista at least a year, I don't understand Google dropping support early reasoning.

Recently, I did the update of security and had 17 updates installed. After installation I closed the computer for the day. The next time that I started it upward, I received a stop error message 0x81ecbe79 and he started a reboot loop and I kept getting error code 0 x 81 different whenever it restarted. The first 4 digits are the same with the rest changing with the exception of the 79 at the end. So far he has done about 30 times until I finally stopped him frustration. Also sometimes it would ask if I wanted to check on the web for a fix, but he continued the loop. The loop stops at different places during the boot sequence. Once he got almost completely before it restarts and a couple of times, it was in the screen of welcome and rebooted. Is there a fix or do I have to do a clean install? The way it is now I'm not sure that I can make a back up of my wife's Family Tree Maker files and get it all.
1. try to restore the system and if necessary a startup repair.
2. data recovery.
3. where questions of Windows updates.
1.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.
Data recovery:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Original title: error upgrading and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows 6.
I tried all kinds of ways to solve this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. This all started when I tried to update my iTunes to version 10.5. Then came the error message 7 on unidentified signature etc. I could not even run my iTunes more then. I started download iTunes again to repair and it just doesn't work. I don't have problems with the installation of my iTunes for the first time a year ago and upgraded whenever I allow it.
All other methods I tried to correct the error includes:- Uninstall iTunes completely and everything that it supports the programs and files (Quicktime, supporter of Mobile, Hello, Safari etc.)
- Download Quicktime separately after you have uninstalled it as suggested by other users in some forum.
- Update the frame Microsot.NET as suggested by the Apple Support site.
Manually started the installation of such Windows program suggested by one of the answers on this site:
a. click the Start button, and then type services.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.
b. Locate the Windows Installer service.
c. check that the status is started. If the condition column is empty,
d. right-click on Windows Installer, and then select start.
e. If you get error trying to force start the Windows Installer service, then try to change the Startup Type to automatic.
f. restart the computer.I have tried for at least 10 times and I have not yet set and am frustrated. Would be really grateful a solution to this soon.
Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium - Version 6.0 (build 6002: Servie Pack 2).
Thank you.
Hi Junetyl,
What is the complete error message you get?
Method 1:
You can see the article next to the Apple support and check if it helps.
Remove and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
You can also consult the following article:
iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when you open iTunes
You can also try the following steps and check.
Method 2:
You can run scanning of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer that will replace missing or corrupt files & check if the problem persists.
For more information, you can consult the following link.
Method 3:
You can also perform a clean boot and check if you can install iTunes.
A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.
You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
After the troubleshooting steps, please refer to clean the boot link to put the computer to normal startup mode.
You can also get in touch with Apple using Arthur support.
Hope this information is useful.

Pavilion dv6: I did now the hard drive on my HDD test failed and the pavilion dv6
The problem is that my laptop when I start it it takes like 10-15 minutes to load.
I see loading windows xp logo and then he is suspended for more then 10 minutes or more.
Now, I tried to do a test for the material. I turn on the laptop and click the F2 key and I entered the test screen of hp hardware. I moved start test drive hard and after 5-10 seconds or if stopped with a test failure:
That's what I see now on the screen of the laptop:
Test Drive: 1
INTELLIGENT control: PAST
DST short: FAILURE
FAILURE ID: 64WE1A-5BC7Q7-XD003F - 60Q 903
PRODUCT ID: XE041EA #ABT
Hard drive 1
Edit:
I tried now all the other tests in the F2 screen, and they all went except the short DST hard drive that has failed.
Better to buy a new hard drive and replace it with this one and I install the new OS on it own?
Test drive: FAILURE
Does that mean ID failure? I need to replace with a new hard drive? If so can I buy a new hard drive and replace it only with myself?
I did no other reviews but I want to first of all understand what it means to id of failure.
Hello
The hard drive is faulty defiantly and Yes should not replace. Failure ID is given, so if your laptop is under warranty you can give this to HP and it will then allow you the replacement
Usually the instructions on how to replace the hard drive are in the manual of your computer that you will be able to get a copy on the HP site. You can also buy the HP installation media which will be operating system files on your for reinstall on the new hard drive.
