• How can I remove updates for Windows Vista? Duplicates are KB976325, KB973917, KB974318. The system still wants to install updates and just duplicates on again once. First update list has 20, second and third about 18.

  Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates.  Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed.  Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop.  I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.

  LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.

  Don't worry what you see in the installed updates or unable to uninstall the 3 updates, simply 'hide' and move.

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
  (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right-click on KB976325 KB973917 and KB974318, in turn. Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  =====================================
  To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

• Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

  Hello
  I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

  Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

• How to create an ERD for Windows Vista x 64

  I received my Installation CD for x 64-based Windows Vista professional damaged, and my laptop does not have preinstalled recovery option. How do I create a disk repair or the startup disk?

  My PC boot upward and the rworks Windows normally but I want a repair disc in case where if I need to repair by using a full Windows, the system image backup.

  The best way, install a second hard disk, HD format by opening cmd or start, type: diskmgmt.msc

  In msc, R.click on the new HD, create a partition, then format, use the default settings. Once through, out msc

  go in run, type: XCOPY C:\*.* D:\/c/h/e/k/r press the button run XCOPY runs automatically, simply agree to

  in the DOS window... Once its youre, thru, any user of OS/data/files is now hard disk, it is a bootable

  HD... In addition, D: is the new HD letter, if asigned another, then use instead. HDs are fairly inexpensive

  These days, get a more than 350-500 GB, you can also, use as a storage HD, once XCOPY is complete

  & you've restarted the pc... In addition, you use probably SATA HDs, if its IDE, then place the new HD on the same

  IDE cable, set the nearest MB, defined as slave, original master. To learn more, follow this link.

  Hello

  Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.

  Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.

  Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.

  http://supportapj.Dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/AP/shared/support/DellCare/en/contact_us?c=au&l=en&s=DHS

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

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

  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 case will determine which 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

  See you soon.

  PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:

  If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...

  You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.

  If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.

  If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

• I can't open up a new tab in the same window when I click on the little + next to the first tab. How it works on FF4 for Windows Vista?

  I have a labtop Sony Vaio with Windows Vista, just updated for the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it will not allow a new. I clicked on the + thing button/tab a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer so the step by step instructions would help a lot. Thanks for any help.

  Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
  • Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
