How to bring back after restoring Vista SP1 SP2 operating system &?

I recently used the media supplied with my laptop to restore/reinstall the OS I have a feeling that I don't have it quite right... but my computer works fine. Better than he has for a while. Unfortunately, it's living in the past.

I had Vista Home Premium SP2 race and now I have only blocks of service of the House of Premium.No. I tried to install SP1 via Windows Update.It takes about 20 seconds. Update history said he "succeeded" but when I look in "Installed updates" is not there. Since then I have "successfully" updated for SP1 20 + times and the only one available for me now (available on several occasions) updated is SP1. My last installed update was September 21. Although windows update history shows "successful" updated all the way up to 15 October.

In the meantime I had went to the MS downloads site and found the stand-alone (936330 KB) version 5. I tried to install that and it seemed to work. For about 50 minutes. or so he worked there and then it is simply disappeared. Gone.No error message, nothing. I tried again and this time, it still seemed to work, but it has taken longer to disappear this time. After several other attempts, I gave up.

Since then, I tried a fix to this. Unfortunately, as evidenced by this post, I had no luck. I hope that someone out there has thought about it. I'm reasonably computer literate. More technical it more it receives, but I learn constantly.

I use a Dell Inspiron 1720, Vista Home Premium, Version 6.0.6000, 32-bit, x 86, circa 2008. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00 GHz 2000 mhz carrots 2, 2 logical processors.  2 hard drives @ 320 GB ea. BIOS A09, 11/07/2008. Ver.2.4 SMBIOS.

I'm currently downloading a set of files to install vista home premium 32 bit x 86 with SP1. I hope that it will work. My other alternative is this Dell factory image restore point but I think it'd probably just in the same situation? Help.

Hello

I don't know why you have problems with standalones.

This is the advice that we give the posters who have problems with Service Packs:

Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

Vista SP2 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

Vista SP2 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17669

This Information Microsoft can help you resolve problems that you encounter during the installation of Service Packs for Vista.

  • HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

    REVISED ORIGINAL QUESTION =
    AFTER ALL THE ~ through the MESS you created and YOU in ME SAYING that "in order to have a chance to get the answer to my question ~ to give you ALL THE DETAILS I can ', you REFUSE to accept by saying, ' Please keep the length of your question to 255 characters or less...» » !!! You are ABLE to say that BEFORE I go through all the other MESS? HOW TO BRING BACK THE BROWSER MORE OLD?

    ISSUE INITIAL = I got SEVERAL plugins that WORKED! Then, I 'upgraded' {like you, LAUGHING, claim} to your version of Firefox 4 after promising to you that it is BETTER and, supposedly, an IMPROVEMENT over the old version. After you install the NEW one ~ IT TURNS OUT ALL MY PREVIOUS PLUGINS! Your WISHTHEYWUZ "PROGRAMMERS", very skillfully {and, in fact, HATEFULLY} uh, kinda "forgot" to make the new browser for COMPATIBILITY ASCENDANTE so that it does not DESTROY us, already, had ~ that WORKED before YOU put your hands on it! So, now, * HOW * I get the OLD version back? I think you need to KNOW what you can do with this new 'UPGRADE' which is, in fact, a LIE! UPGRADES don't take you BACKWARDS ~ make things WORSE ~ real upgrades make things BETTER! DUH-H-H!

    ORIGINAL DETAILS =
    I, recently bought, a new HP 4500 printer and it came with an extension to capture video/plugin. Attempt to use, the program informed me that I had to use, either, an IC or a Firefox browser mentioning the version1.5 {I think it was} or later. The Firefox browser I was using was 3.something; then, everything was going along FINE. When I installed the video capture program, she added the plugin for the browser ~ PERFECTLY! I had too MUCH other plugins that worked and I used somewhat regularly! NO MORE! YOU and your TOTALLY INEPTE, WISHTHEYWUZ 'PROGRAMMERS' STOLE half of my COMPUTER! I can't, is more, USE ALL OF THOSE PLUGINS, simply because you "forgot" {say} to INCLUDE in your new browser version 4. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM? WHY DON'T * YOU * WANT ME TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM, MORE?

    Apparently, YOU think that the computer world revolves around YOU, and YOU are its AXIS! You feel that YOU have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make YOUR programs in no way compatible with what is already available ~ according to the "advice", I noticed on one of YOUR pages WHILE REACHING THIS ONE, you said that everyone must adapt to YOUR claimed "improvements" that are just DESTROY!

    All I want is for YOU to either MAKE YOUR VERSION 4 COMPATIBLE; or advise me on HOW to get the EARLIER back version that * IS * compatible. Otherwise, I'll switch to another browser and advise all the others that I have one any influence to do the same for the good of their overall computer enjoyment!

    PLEASE ADVISE!

    I see that you have provided this window} {below a space for, probably, a UNIQUE Extension / Plugin.} Therefore, a PARTIAL LIST follows ~

    ArcSoft video 2.0.0.8 Downloader extension
    Copy into Wordperfect Lightning 1.0

  • Firefox 8 menu icons are all dark gray blobs, I can't read! How to bring back the old, bright look?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 8 and so far I hate it. The biggest problem is that all the icons are just dark gray blobs, that I can't read. I don't know which version I was running before, but the arrow to the left and the "home" button and all the rest were bright and clear and readable. Now, I can't even read what is in the address window.

    How to bring back the bright look?

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
