  How to make windows vista updates Pack 2 cost?

  Hello Victorchow,

  If you are referring to the update of Windows Vista service pack 2, then the answer is free. It should have automatically downloaded to your PC via Windows updates.

• Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

  I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

  So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

  Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

  Thank you!

  You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

  Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, 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.

• Error: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot move forward"during the installation of Windows 8 64-bit OEM System Builder on Macbook Pro for help using Boot Camp

  Hello

  I have a brand new Macbook pro and I bought the OEM System Builder of 64-bit Windows 8 driver in a store. My problem is that I have not only not able to install it using Boot Camp. At the end of the installation, a message appears with the following text "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue.

  I'm not really a tech guy but I also tried to download virtual box and the same error comes back.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you!

  Original title: Windows 8 64-bit English OEM System Builder

  The thread is old now, but it is for those who always have this problem.

  When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

  Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.

• How to make a vista to use disc to reformat my PC?

  Hello

  You will need to contact your computer manufacturer for instructions on how to make recovery disks to reinstall Vista.

  It's their recovery process, not Microsoft.

  There are a few guidelines below on where to look information as well as other means to reinstall Vista.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Vista professional, comprehensive and company have the opportunity to make a backup image of the computer, but they make a copy of the existing Vista operating system, including any problems, that is not suitable for what you want to do.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  Call the manufacturer of your computer.
  Ask them a set of recovery disks. The cost should be minimal.
  Make sure that tell you them the whole story, including the "torrent".
  At the same time, ask them if you had a recovery partition setup on your computer.
  If so, ask them to teach you how to use the recovery partition. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Qosmio G30-211: how BIOS update on Vista 64-bit?

  Hello

  The VAP is not compatible with Vista 64 bit. For the execution of the BIOS updated common modules of necessary VAP. Vicious circle!
  Do you know of ways to improve the new version of the BIOS (3.50 win) not under Vista?
  The real BIOS manual upgrade (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07) is not correct and not suited to the content of the package (for example after unpacking, I can't find the files "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW")?

  Hello

  Because of your first thread posted here in the forum, I guess you have a laptop Qosmio G30-211. This unit belongs to the series of PQG32E.

  Now, we must clarify something;
  Toshiba laptops are not delivered with a 64 bit OS. Also the Qosmio G30-211 not was not preinstalled with Vista 64 bit, but with 32-bit Windows, XP Media Center Edition 2005.

  In my opinion, to run the original image of Toshiba (or MS Vista 32 bit OS) for updating the BIOS. And not a 64 bit OS!
  The BIOS of 3, 50 - WIN at the moment on the Toshiba page is OS independent, so it should be available for updating Vista or Xp.

  In the BIOS zip file you will find only an exe file, and you must run this file to launch the BIOS update procedure.

  By the way; the document said Toshiba;

  For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.
  -Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
  -Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.
  We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

• Satellite A500 - how to move from Vista 64 bit to 32 bit?

  Hei guys,.

  Recently, I bought my new A500 series - 14 c and installed the 64-bit version of Vista. What is happening is that I later discovered that a USB sound card that I use doesn't have vista64 drivers yet, so I wanted to reinstall the OS and choose Vista 32 this time.

  I was wondering how I can do? Can I just create the recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery? Who will ask me this that IF I want to install or will it just restore the latest version?

  What other ways can I try? My computer did not bring any DVD, so I guess that the two KIND of facilities are always stored on the HARD drive. I don't know where or how to use them.

  > I recently bought my new A500 series - 14 c and installed the 64-bit version of Vista

  I guess that you have formatted the whole HARD disk during the installation of 64-bit Vista.
  Is this good?

  If yes then you would not be able to get the Vista 32 bit OS back because you n t create the recovery disk before installing vista 64 bit OS.

  The Toshiba laptops Toshiba recovery disc Creator called tool.
  This tool allows you to create the recovery disk that you would help to redefine the laptop to factory settings.

  If you don t have this drive and if you are not able to create it so you could order from this page:

• How can I get Vista 64 bit to 32 bit?

  I've upgraded to Windows Vista 64 bit and find that some programs will not run now. I would go back to 32-bit of Windows Vista.

  32-bit 64-bit > is not an upgrade path. Make you a clean to achieve installation.

  To reinstall Vista 32-bit, do a clean install with a full version of 32-bit Vista disk/license.

• How to make a playlist in Windows Media Player?

  I ripped a CD in Windows Media Player.  However, I can't find it in my WMP library.  The only way I can listen to music is if I insert the CD into my computer.   How can I find the music CD in my library without inserting the CD?  I think I know how to make a playlist, if I can find the music.

  Thank you, Jetta.  I think I found what was wrong. I have not played the music in the 'Unknown' folder in date dated 7/11. When I clicked here and played from there, I'm able to drag and drop.  You asked what was going on until I thought about it.   Thus, for some reason any music 7/11 come immediately when I open WMP. When I tried to drag drop a melody, or all the pieces, I got the circle red/slash, which means "Cannot to this action." Thanks for your suggestions - they brought me to understand.
