• Some files have been moved and are inaccessible after installation of Vista Service Pack 2

  For several months, I had been unable to install the latest updates of iTunes, always get the message "Could not access network location %AppData%". Recently, I realized that I had apparently never installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or 2 and the practice which finally allowed me to install iTunes 9.2.

  The problem I have now is that one (or two) of these Service Packs created a new profile user labelled 'TEMP' folder and that's where all my iPod apps seem to have "evaporated" to. I say evaporated because iTunes cannot locate, and when I access the folder of the user 'TEMP' (even using my administrator account), I found only a few subfolders (AppData (, LocalLow, Microsoft, CryptnetUrlCache), and those are all empty.  Either way, my administrator user account no longer shows upward at all when I use my 'normal' user code

  Making windows for .ipa files search is the only way I can see same registrants, but then when I try to open the location of file (Mobile Applications C:Users\TEMP\Music\iTunes) I get an error "the location is not available", which suggests that the information may have been moved to another location.

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Service Pack 2.

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons). +

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer is normally Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are replaying the ad.

  .

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Hi coopervane,

  You can try a system restore by booting from the Windows Vista disc. Will need you the Windows Vista disc to do an offline system restore. You may need to contact the manufacturer of the computer or make arrangements for any Windows Vista disk that will help you start the computer and go to optins Startup Repair tool.

  To use offline system restore, you must have a Windows Vista CD or DVD. In addition, your computer must be configured to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive. In some cases, you may need to change the settings of the BIOS on the computer to configure the computer to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive. For more information on the configuration of the computer to start from the CD-ROM or DVD drive, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of the computer. A recovery disk will not help, because it will erase all your data.

  First of all, start the computer from the reader. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the Windows Vista CD / DVD and restart the computer.

  2. When you receive the following message appears, press a key:

  Press any key to start from the CD or DVD.

  3. set the following preferences, and then click Next:

  o language to install

  o time and currency formats

  o keyboard or input method

  Then, use the offline System Restore to remove the service pack of Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. click on repair your computer, select the operating system you want to repair if necessary and then click Next.

  2. click on System Restore, and then click Next.

  3. click about to restore that corresponds to the date of installation of the service pack. The Restore Point will be labeled either install: Windows Update or install: Windows Vista Service Pack .

  4 confirm the disk hard that you want to restore, and then click Next.

  5. click Finishand then click Yes when you are prompted.

  6. when the system restore process is complete, click restart to restart the computer.

  7. when the computer restarts, click close to confirm that the system restore completed successfully.

  I hope this information is useful.

• Windows Sidebar problems since the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

  I installed Vista Service Pack 2 today. After the installation of the windows sidebar has stopped working. For example the actions of Gadget, Gadget of the currency, in fact all of the gadgets that require a live stream display the message "Service unavailable". Some gadgets loading is no longer at the side bar, double click on, for example Weatherbug & multimeter (D).  I tried a system restore, but the problem remains, so I did an extra restore to indeed to reinstall Vista Service Pack. I also reset the router and Modem

  I tried to remove the gadgets from the sidebar and load it again but the problem still remains.  So I decided to download gadgets again on the Microsoft site but when I click on the link in the window "Get more Gadgets online" link does not work. This problem is only since installing Vista Service Pack 2 any what help you can give me to eliminate these problems would be most appreciated

  Tony

  Tony,
  Have you checked your firewall to see if the file sidebar.exe is allowed?  When you have downloaded the update it probably resets the security settings for this program if your firewall blocks most likely it.  First try.

  Have you double checked the control panel for the side bar to ensure that it was activated?  Again, the setting could have been modified by the service pack.
  Try this, it includes a section "fix it for me":

  After the automatic updates is ready to install and upgrade to SP3 of XP SP2, I have selected only quick installation and the installation progress. For a few minutes, everything seemed perfect, and I could see "Validating license... blah blah components loading... create restore point etc..". And after that, I was responsible for "System restart" I did. And then, the system displays a black screen of "Windows XP" showing "Please wait...". "and the screen is left as it is around 6-7 hours and the 256 Kbps, the internet was still on.

  After the reboot, I've seen the system configuration of Windows XP Professional SP2 to SP3. And one of my theme request then said that "he delivered a fall has resorted to previous settings.

  So, is my Windows corrupted, or incomplete installation? How will I know that the installation is successful? Please guide.

  Thank you

  Hi xploreaj,

  I noticed that often happens when a system has something like Norton or McAfee installed and that it has not been disabled prior to installation of the SP3.  If you encounter any other problems, then it is reasonable to assume that everything is ok.  However, you can also scan your system with Malwarebytes to see if there is no infections present which your current AV software has not picked up on. (how to use Malwarebytes: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/how-to-use-malwarebytes-anti-malware-tutorial).

• Problems printing MS programs after the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

  After installation of SP2, I can print is more than MS Word. I can print from the web, but when I send something to print from MS Word, it seems to go to the printer, but nothing happens. The printer icon shows in the task bar at the bottom of the screen but no document is displayed as pending and nothing prints. I tried the suggestions I've seen on this forum including to perform a clean boot and run the System File Checker. To solve the problem. I do a lot of printing of the word, so it is a major issue for me. I can't keep running at the public library to print my documents! Aaaaargh.

  You tried the simple expedient of detection/repair or Office Diagnostics, depending on your version of Word.
  Check with the manufacturer of your printer that does not have a printer available update driver?

• Installation: Windows Vista Service Pack 2... Now my computer will not boot

  After you install SP2, my computer starts is no longer.

  When I turn it on, it brings me to a black screen where I can choose to start windows normally or let windows search for a solution to the problem. I tried both - NOTHING WORKS.

  I tried to restore my computer to an earlier date, let windows search for a solution, everything you can possibly do on the options list. Whenever I have let windows start normally, it brings me to a black screen that says "!" 0 x 0000034! "177/76190 (_0000000000000000.cdf - ms).

  I am extremely frustrated. It seems that Microsoft has ruined my computer. Looks like I'm about to become a defender-apple... Unless this issue is resolved as soon as possible.

  Step 1:

  Before you install Windows Vista SP2, uninstall completely printing software.

  Check out the link to uninstall a program:

  After installing SP2, try to install the latest version of the drivers available for the printer and the printer and check if it helps.
