Have installed windows vista sp 2 correctly?

I was on windows vista sp 1.

I used windows update to install sp2, but it crashed at halfway.

When I recovered, I saw in the history of the update

Windows vista pack 2 service (KB948465)

Installation status fails

code 800F0816

I made a separate download and install instead of vista sp 2 and it seems to be okay. When I rebooted I even got a nice popup telling that I have downloaded and installed succuessfully SP 2

But when I go to the Control Panel, systems he said vista sp 1

and I can't install IE 9

Any ideas?

Data point, it seems that I could install updates such as security update for Microsoft.NET framework 3.5 SP1, Windows Vista SP2 and WIndows Server 2008 SP2 x 86 (KB2416470)

etc.

  • Don't install windows vista no disk but have product key sticker

    Interesting problem? I have a laptop Acer Aspire 7720 G, which had Vista Home basic installed on the purchase, without discs provided but sticker windows product code based on the laptop. I just bought and installed windows 7 Home premium which seem to instal fine, but now my graphics card is not recognized (nvidia geforce). all I get is poor graphic vga? I tried to update the drivers from windows update and nvidia, no sucsess. 'Systems' I can't even see my graphics card, it seems I just graphics vga integrated, not good on a computer with blu-ray/dvd player and power dvd installed, nothing will work out of a bad quality dvd movie.

    someone said that acer do not support windows 7 for this laptop and recommended re-setup of trash vista, but since I have no disk how can I do this. I don't have the product key code?

    do I really have to install windows vista again and have I wasted my money on windows 7 that I can't use because my graphics card is not recognized? really frustrating, ilike, windows 7, want to use it, but how can I if it does not recognize my nvidai card, any help would be appreciated

    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.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    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

  • I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now my wireless does not work.

    Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .

    original title: Wireless problems after install.

    I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help

    Question...  You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?

    While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.

    You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included.  This could be a hardware problem PURE.

    I have a family vista premium 32-bit install windows vista Home premium. now I have no sound

    I have a family vista premium 32-bit install windows vista Home premium. now I have no sound

    Huh?

    Try to understand, taking the repeated mention, I guess you're saying that you have Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and you do not have any audio.

    Have you spent at the web page of the manufacturer of your computer support and their section downloads & drivers and got the last audio/HiFi drivers for your specific hardware?  They are those who produced and load of the equipment.

    I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)

    the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...

    I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.

    To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.

    System requirements:

    * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

    * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  • Error 0x8007045D when you try to install Windows Vista SP2

    Hello

    Currently I have Windows Vista SP1 and want to upgrade to service pack 2. When I try to do the update of Windows, I get "error (0x8007045d) Error_IO_DEVICE. I also tried to install it in safe mode, I get the same error message. After having traveled a bit on the internet, I found that it is probably because my HDD is damaged... so I run the chkdsk program...

    The chkdsk program stops at 16%... Step 4 of 5... When 85785 files off 300000something files are done... and it does nothing more. It keep running like this all night, it goes no further.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to successfully install Windows Vista SP2?

    Thanks for your help!

    OK, I started the computer with the Windows CD and I ran chkdsk /f at a command prompt.

    Chkdsk /f found errors it corrects.

    I ran Chkdsk/r... .he got stuck after scanning 85763 files... near the place, he would always get stuck (85785 files)... so I guess it's the same file that crashes chkdsk.

    The good news: I still have a functioning computer.

    The bad news is that I ran the SP2 from windows update in new safe mode and it didn't work... I'm still stuck with my problem.

    I have an extra hard drive... that I ordered from Dell for my girlfriend's computer, his computer died before she could use the player, but it is larger, then the drive of your computer and it is brand new... the only downside is that the player has been implemented for the computer of my girlfriend (pilots and other things) and does not work in my computer. I guess I'll try to format that drive to make it work in my computer... it should fix this and then bad SP2 remedial power very well.

    I guess I have no choice.

    I suggest to remove avg (uninstall) then try sfc/scannow then chkdsk /f several times. a few times, they need more going to make things more

    Microsoft security essentials is a better a v for not update couseing problems.

    You can allways put avg in the back.

    not having is not enouph to free space for temporary files can couse problems too.
