• After installing Ubuntu 11.04, Windows Vista has disappeared.

  Original title: Windows vista is missing

  After installing Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) my other OP system Windows vista has disappeared. I don't get a menu to choose which OP system I want to use. The grub menu 2 does not include an entry for windows. My computer directly boots into Ubuntu. I tried to put the installation disc in the status bar to try to recover the system but nothing works. Can someone help me please? Isetta cordially.

  Hi Isetta,

  It seems that after installing Ubuntu, grub 2 took control of Boot Manager and changed the boot sequence. To change the startup entries to get Vista, you must contact Ubuntu for assistance on changing the grub boot entries 2.

  You can see the following link to get in touch with Ubuntu.

• Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

  Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

  I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

  We will cover all the possibilities.

  1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

  Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

  IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

  4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

  Tips:

  -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

  -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

  -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Usually this is impossible on computers with Windows 7.  In almost all cases, you need to go to the store, buy Windows 7 32-bit and use the CD to install it on your computer.  This also requires the deletion of your system, you will need to reinstall all your programs and settings.

• Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241) fails to install and has the error Code 800703F1

  Greetings. My system Windows 8 found a major update, but it cannot install it. The update is called "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)." I try to install it and it installs and I see a screen that says:
  ________________________________
  Some updates have not been installed.

  Failed: 1 update
  Examine the important updates

  Error (s) found:

  Code 800703F1 Windows Update has encountered a problem. Get help with this error
  ________________________________

  From there, I have the option to 'Try again', but when I try I always get the same result (error 800703F1). I already tried the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and whenever I run that he finds two problems and offers correct: "Repair Windows Update Database Corruption" and "repair the Windows Update components. I had it apply these patches every time, but the problem persists.

  I read about this setting by using the function "sfc/scannow", but oddly, when I try even in an elevated command prompt he also fails. It scans absolutely nothing and says: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
  The 'Windows Modules Installer"service is set to"Manual"and runs, as I read it is necessary.

  What is really weird, is that in my list of installed updates, KB2822241 stands as one of the updates already installed with the name of "update for Microsoft Windows" (instead of "update for Windows 8"as one continues to try to install my PC), and when I run the independent for this update installer (I downloaded from the web site of Microsoft to try it) the installation program indicates the update is already installed, and it closes. This gave me the idea that maybe my PC is confusing one update for the other. After all, why he would find KB2822241 as an important update that it needs if it is already installed?

  I know that I can normally solve the problem of update and the question of the SFC by resetting or refresh my PC via built-in tools of Windows 8, but I don't want to go through that, unless it's the only solution. System Restore didn't help, but it is an opportunity to reinstall some other updates.

  As it is, then, the problems persist: "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)" settles "sfc/scannow" cannot perform the operation and not I ask.

  For the record, my machine is a 900 Asus EeePC ha with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and it is running 32-bit Windows 8.

  I'd appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you in advance.

  Hi Michael,

  You can follow this link if you want to refresh your computer.

• Windows XP SP3 will not install and repeatedly keep trying with Windows Update

  I've had two months of problems with Windows 7 and had to build a Windows XP machine. I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on the clean machine and tried to install SP3 I had downloaded and put it on a CD. Installation backed up the existing files and install the new files. The installer said he was changing the registry. After that the installer said that there was an error, a file is not found. Then uninstalled and restored the old files. Keeps Windows Update downloaded a stream of updates (as you would expect with a clean install), but at the end of installation of the batch that is being updated is in SP3 update running. Whenever the SP3 update is executed, it gets to the same point, fails because it cannot find a file and UN-installs itself again. The indices of anyone? It's a real Microsoft Windows XP Pro out of the box, not an OEM.

  Hi guenoun,.

  The message I received installation of SP3 was "System cannot find the file requested" with no error code. As I was installing a SP3 at the start of a CDROM created from the uploaded image of CDROM I thought it was unlikely that the CDROM was corrupt or missing files. So, I went in Mode safe mode and use the account administrator. SP3 installed then OK (it took more time than installing Windows XP). I then checked the updates, and although Windows Update has been updated about 10 new updates flooded down. So problem solved. It must have been one of these security issues where be a user with administrative privalges was not enough.

  Kind regards

• I think my windows installer has DISAPPEARED-gives an error: 1601

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, which is about 4 years old. I use Windows Vista and the other day trying to download Nokia PC Suite was shocked to learn that I have a Windows Installer problem out of the blue. Windows Installer error 1601. I tried so many troubleshooting that it blows my brain. This morning I thought I MIGHT have found a solution following a forum. I went in 'services' in the search of Windows Installer, but it doesn't seem to be there! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

  Windows Update no longer works! Error codes 641 and 80070641 appear. Have you tried troubleshooting, but all in vain. Everybody out there ideas, what happened to my laptop?

  Another problem that I probably had me is also that my recovery is FULL - no disk space. I tried a backup and has probably done something of so so bad.
  Any help would be so appreciated.

• Somehow Windows Search has disappeared from my computer. How can I reinstall it?

  My Windows search is missing.  I need to reinstall it.  How do I do that?

  You must answer the questions asked by Elizabeth23 as much as you can to see why your Windows Search is missing.

  If these links of relocation do not do it for you, here are a few instructions to reinstall Windows Search, which is useful if you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which has the same Service Pack that your version unspecified.

  There is an extra effort for Windows Search become missing.

  You have now or have you ever used third-party products on your system where the product description includes one or more of the following descriptive words:

  cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, Inspector, clean, tune up, speed up, fix up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. one click fix, new, intuitive, errors, stop crashes, stop errors, improves, allows you to save money, risk free, guaranteed or any third-party program that has an icon that looks like a gear, pinion, belt holder, key, key, screwdriver or plunging arrows?

  If so, this could be the reason that Windows Search is missing.

  As you go through the reinstallation of Windows Search, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.

  If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

  Navigate to c:\windows\inf, and right click on the following file:

  Srchasst.inf

  Choose Install

  If you cannot see the srchasst.inf file, configure your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

  Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the c:\windows\inf\ folder and the c:\windows\inf\srchasst.inf file.

  Make sure that you do not attempt to use this file: srchasst.pnf - you must use the file srchasst.inf instead.

  Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

  You don't need absolutely a CD to reinstall Windows Search, because files must already be on your system somewhere if Windows Search was working before.

  If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

  If you cannot find the files you need, identify the missing files and then a beautiful person can put them on their SkyDrive and you can download and save on your system and then point the installation there.

  Here's how my system works when I reinstall Windows Search when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

  When you are asked:

  msgr3en.dll

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

  When you are asked:

  Courtney.ACS

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

  When you are asked:

  inetpref. XML

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

  If asked:

  nls302en. Lex

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

  When you are asked:

  Rover.ASC

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

  When you are asked:

  Balloon.Xsl

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

  Once installation is complete, restart your system and see if your Windows Search is now functional.
