Home premium 64 bit Vista 6.0 SP 1 hang time start

My new HP dv 7 has a boot hang on microsoft specifications load bar screen for about 4 + minutes, with no HARD disk activity, then it starts again beginning upward. During the process, the CD/DVD drive is repeatedly powered (light and buzzing) until the office is finished. It takes about 8 minutes to complete startup. Sometimes after startup, the dvd/cd drive is missing from the window manager and computer device, or may disappear during the session. A sweep of plug-and-play in the device Mgr usually restored the drive in the list.
I worked on it with HP and it has not changed even after any change that they known. The HARD drive has been recreated on four times. They also sent a new player that also acted the same. The dvd/cd drive works fine when detected.
Is this activation of dvd/cd player and time crash when starting from individuals to Vista? It is unlike my other computers where XP load in less than 3 minutes without activity of dvd/cd drive.

Hey, Mark H,
Thanks for the reply.   You are right! The problem was the firmware of the hardware.
I come back online. As I said, I had worked on it for a month since then, with HP support.  All the software stuff has been done including the new image of the partition HARD drive and disks provided by HP. The computer was sent for repair of HP in CA and back with a disc recreated and still had the problem. They ignored the hardware problem!
Then I convinced the last guy at HP during a live chat to send me a replacement CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, and he agreed.
When the drive has been installed at the 1st start the problem was the same. Was about to give up, and then it dawned on me that the computer was using the original disk info. Vista re-identified the new drive and on the 2nd boot the computer starts without delay in under 2 minutes!
I looked at the model numbers of two disks, and they were different because of the firmware on board.
My point of view on this, is that the drive originally installed was in error and not fully compatible with the 64-bit version of Vista. They sent me the correct drive of their parts list
So now, the computer starts normally, but sometimes the DVD Player stops however power looking for a disk and will not stop a buzzing and lighting sporadically, as if a program is looking for a drive.    It is with nothing else running in task Mgr (the arrow pointer turns into a small disc symbol).
My remedy is to restart the computer that has worked so far.
Wonder what hidden agenda try repeatedly searching for a disc in the drive at startup?
Any ideas?

    -Home Premium to Ultimate.
    -Business to ultimate.

  • Home Premium 64 bit Ultimum 64-bit upgrade fails during execution. Error message: Windows cannot configure some components

    Upgrade problems. Home Premium 64-bit to 64-bit Ultimum.


    I tried several times to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64-bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit. It ends at until the end, but when it restarts, it says windows cannot configure some components and starts a restoration to Home Premium. So frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

    Both Home Premium and Ultimate out of support in two months.  One company will receive technical support from Microsoft (security patches, etc.) after April.  Here is the political Support of Vista page.  'Not applicable' entries in the column of Extended Support mean that this edition is not eligible for updates, including critical security updates, after the end of standard support on April 10, 2012.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&Alpha=Windows+Vista

    If you can, return your ultimate and buy business.  I realize that copies of business are becoming difficult to find.  Another option is to upgrade to Windows 7.  I suggest professional since Ultimate offer very little more than Pro (just the Bitlocker and multilingual support) and is also not intended for extended support after Windows 7 standard support ends after 2014.  Professional will extend support through 2019.

    Having said all this, I also had problems using the update with Vista installation option.  In many cases I resorted to the use of the custom installation option.  That does not work, but of course this means using Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings and reinstall your programs.  What I eventually learned with Vista upgrade can take all day even when all goes well, then there is not much time saved during a custom installation followed in any case of reinstalling the software.

    One thing you can try is to completely remove your anti-malware software.  Just turning it off is not enough because some antivirus programs install a watchdog on the part of the registry.  If something prevents the writing of registry entries at the end of the upgrade you so you would get a rollback.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:

    In addition, change the size of virtual memory and see that helps. For more information, see:

    Hi Colonel biggs,

    Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

    This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

    · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

    · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

    To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

    Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

    Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

    If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

    Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

    System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start

    2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

    The operating system is displayed as follows:

    · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

    After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

    Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

    1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
    2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
      1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
      2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
    1. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

    1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

  • Office 2003 Pro with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

    Office seems to work very well on my new desktop Quad core i7, Vista Home Premium 64-bit - except when I try to access clip art in Powerpoint, or any help function - it simply blocks the request. Machine not crushed, but I have to END TASK - and I said this in Excel and Powerpoint three times each. But all the normal functions of work. What is the problem?

    These links are useless - I already searched the corner OFFICE, and here, no one seems ready to post or admit that there could be a problem with VISTA at all. That's why I posted my question here, thinking that the problem is probably with the 64-bit version of Vista.
