I don't have a vista disc.
MY PROBLEM;
I installed all the updates of windows available, then my computer was working fine, I turned it on the next day, just to find that it comes up with.
"CONFIGURATION UPDATES 3/3 0%" AND RESTARTS THE SAME SCREEN!
I left it on for hours with no joy...
IT DON'T ME LEAVE EVEN IN SAFE MODE WITH CMD! I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DISKS TO FIX IT! AND IT IS NOT A STARTUP REPAIR! WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Microsofts problem, not mine. I've seen tons of threads containing this problem, so how do solve us it?
Please someone help me, I have a working drive OR disk for that matter, my computer can not boot from USB either, it will not work in SafeMode with options as it says the same thing... im _? I need to use my computer, I just bought it!
NOTE: I AM USING WINDOWS VISTA, NOT WINDOWS 7! THIS FORUM MESSAGES THREAD HERE EVEN IF I GO TO THE WINDOWS VISTA FORUM
PLEASE HELP ME!
Hello
You say that you don't have a disc drive of work, does that mean that the drive does not work OR
the computer has a drive like a netbook?
If you have tried to boot from a USB key (which is bootable), are you sure that you have followed the
instructions for the configuration that the disk and in the BIOS? If so, then the computer has
other problems and you need help of the machine system.
Installation USB drives can also be used to repair Vista.

Where do you find a password for the internet service provider? First of all, I never heard of him, what is it? When they hung my internet, nothing has been said to need a password. Help, please?
Hi Sherry,
Contact the technical assistance service from your ISP for help with your account – including the password (which, although I suppose that it is possible (if intentionally the value no password which is incredibly dangerous if they would even which allowed), is incredibly little likely, there isn't - although the installation program can do such that the need to seize every time has been bypassed and this way you apparently).
If this isn't a problem with your ISP or ISP password, then it probably has something to do with the Exchange Server Setup program. I'm not sure what exactly that you try to configure - an Exchange Server account, or an account customer to remote Exchange, hosting of your email server. If the question relates to Exchange Server, please see the forum for assistance: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/exchangeserver.
But the first place to start is your ISP because no matter the issues by e-mail, you need to know or may need to know your password.
Good luck!

I did not now what to do, I just had it refurbished its windows xp and what they put Outlook express 6 never had it before and don't now how it works. I have att yahoo mail, so I called them and they told me they couldn't help me because they are no longer helping with this program since it of complicated and advised me to contact the geek squad.

First of all, please note that Microsoft never had a product called Outlook 6. Without a doubt, you are referring to Outlook * Express *, no prospects. The two are very different products.
Second, you do not say who the 'they' are that say you to go to the Geek Aquad, but it is * terrible * advice. Geek Squad is Best Buy computer service company. They are largely incompetent and are among the worst places to be used for any type of service or advice, stay away from them and of all the big box stores for the service.
Thirdly, using Outlook Express (or any other e-mail program) for e-mail is much better in many ways what to do with the yahoo mail or any other mail on the web.
But to use Outlook Express (or any other email program), you must set up correctly. Among the things you tell her eraf the names of your POP3 (incoming mail) server and the SMTP server (for outgoing mail) contact your ISP (or look on their website) and get instructions about how to configure Outlook Express to them.

I'm guessing that you're referring to a problem involving the Security Center that happens sometimes after update silent through updates of Windows to the new version of MSE... but it is also sometimes occurring after the updates of Windows 'monthly '. Usually, but not always the problem occurs on computers running XP.
If the MSE icon is green then you should be protected and cannot ignore this Security Center warning. The problem resolves after a few days. I do not pretend you disable the protection in real time on MSE, disable Security Center, restart the computer and then turn everything back on and restart once more... some users report this sequence fixed the problem.

Can anyone help please? I am a user of Windows Live Mail for a long time, but I am disappointed with their product, because it crashes regularly and recently wiped a lot of messages, so, after having heard great reports, I think that the time has come to try Thunderbird. I do, however, have a few questions that I would be grateful if someone could advise me on please...
I know how to move e-mail messages in Thunderbird, but is it also possible to move my accounts and their settings from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird without having to configure each new individually please? The Import Wizard appears to count it is possible, but has nothing more after "import options, account settings, address book, filters and other data of:" even after a click on the next button. I installed the import/export addon, but always without success. Is it indeed possible please?
Also, is it possible to install the views 'fast' section that WLM has on Thunderbird, which was allowed to see all read mail from each account in one place please? This a really useful feature and I want to keep if possible.
Any help much appreciated.
Import of account to Windows live mail never made Thunderbird... partially because there is little demand, and partly because Microsoft not to change.
However if your accounts are with the largest suppliers outlook.com, hotmail, yahoo etc. or the large national ISPS and then set up your account is probably as simple as enter the e-mail address and the password. (There are often problems with poorly reported passwords. It is anti virus firewall clutter it and an adjustment for the firewall to allow the Thunderbird gets things on track)
Your 'quick' view seems unified records of the Thunderbirds.
