• Help! Windows Vista does not start because of 'ACBRUVI. SYS driver"is bad, can't find my restore points...

  "I tried to post a question on my PC not allowing not windows update to install the latest definitions of security and I don't know there's a virus or a trojan, but before I could get an answer on the forums my computer crashed lastnight and and when I tried to restart, he said that the ' ACBRUVI. SYS' driver was corrupted and contained also the registry as corrupt. So I installed Vista on another partition and I can access the other system files and registry but I tried to restore the registry with a backup I had made using CCleaner, it did not help. I went to the location of the driver (windows/system32/drivers/acbruvi.sys) and it is there, but ranked 0kb. I don't know what this driver is, nor do I have another copy of it on my system. In addition, I lost all my system restore points and do not know how I contracted this problem/virus/worm/trojan horse regardless, but it seems impossible to repair using available like AVG free resources, advanced care and Windows Defender system (Windows defender will not update or another) how can I fix files and the registry without having to reinstall vista on the infected version? I'm at a loss to know what to do? Please let me know what I'm dealing with here?

  Method 1.

  To connect from the new Windows Vista partition and run the scan on all drives online.
  I highly recommend to run a Virus Scan online. Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.
  a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:

• HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z Wireless connection print Windows Vista, but not from Windows 7

  Printer HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z seems to be connected to my Dell laptop with Windows 7 on HP Solution Center page, but does not print. Documents just get stuck in QC. It was printing then it wasn't so that's when it wasn't. The printer works when I print from a laptop more old Vista. The last time this happened, I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software and that doesn't seem to help. Then, for some inexplicable reason, impression began to work. It has now stopped working again. I can scan the Windows 7 laptop but not print. I tried all the troubleshooting tools that I could find without success. Thanks for trying to help.

  Hello-

  It could be caused by a couple of things:

  1. firewall on PC or router.

  2 interference (microwave, cordless phone base @ 2.4 Ghz)

  3 distance from router

  4 corrupted printer driver.

  Turn off the firewall you have and you move anything that can cause interference to router.

  If none of the above solves the problem, I'll have to install a different printer driver.

  Click Start.

  Go to devices and printers.

  Click Add a printer.

  Add a local printer. Create a new Port, then choose "Standard TCP/IP port.

  Click Next.

  TypeRegeditdans in the box 192.168.1.12 IP address or host name. (uncheck the box 'Interrogate the printer')

  Click Next.

  When the printer list opens, click windows update. (it takes a few minutes)

  After the box appears, choose HP (not Hewlett Packard) on the left and choose "Deskjet 990c" on the right.

  Click Next, the default value and end.

  Try to print using the printer Deskjet 990c.

• Windows Vista does not accept my password (unchanged) but I have no recovery disk - Windows is already installed

  Hello

  As the title says after using my laptop without any previous problems, suddenly I can not connect on Windows Vista.

  I'm 100% sure that the password has not been changed, caps lock, shift, caps lock Num etc is not active.

  When I bought the laptop, Vista was already installed, so I don't have a recovery disk.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

  You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
  • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
  • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  If the above does not fix it:

  Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Hi scoobydoochick,

  1. what recovery disc do you have?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

  Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

  Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

  Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

• Windows Vista does not run

  Windows Vista will not run unless I chose the option "disable driver signing enforcement" as he cannot verify the digital signature of the file "\windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys".

  Hello

  Which shows the file properties in the tab digital signatures? Is there a previous version on this tab? Basically, if it cannot verify the signature, the file may be damaged or has been replaced by an incorrect version.

  You may want to run sfc/scannow from a high command prompt to validate all system files.

  I had an old Compaq Office of four years who developed problems that would cost me more trouble that it's worth.  I had been printing it to a Dell 944, which I then installed in a new laptop Compaq with Windows Vista.  The installation seems to have been systematic and successful, but I can't get the Dell print.  The message I get is "Incorrect Port detected.  The current print job has been cancelled.  This printer is designed to work with USB cables only.  The current software setting is not set to USB port.  Make sure you use a USB cable (and) the printer are set to a USB port. "I followed the instructions to set the USB port, and it seems that the port is, in fact, enabled.  I know that USB cable works, because he worked with the old desktop computer.

  Hi jwfinnashville,

  According to the Dell website, this can happen if the printer drivers are not installed properly.

  On the Dell site, they suggest to install a fix to uninstall all the drivers printer completely from the computer, then restart the computer and then reinstall drivers from the Dell website and check out them.

  Download the patch here to remove all printer drivers

  See also: http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19251369/19406642.aspx#19406642
