How to run windows (vista, 7), during the night, or during any period of time and do not have to worry it restart itself.

Windows Update will restart when the changes are applied.  I understand why.  However, when I do not use windows, which is relatively rare, and the specific task, I often run long processes.  Windows will reboot the machine by force regardless of what I'm doing at the time.  I guess if you are electronic control or Watch youtube, its not that big of a deal, but when it stops at Midway for a night process, its quite frustrating.

I had turned off the windows update service, so I guess that takes care of things, or is there another process that verifies that the windows update is running and restarts it?  Thoughts?  Even if restarting is intentional, the fact that a modern operating system will turn off when it receives a message from the mother ship is quite disturbing (beat tone comes from the fact that I'm a nerd of linux.  Sorry).

Hello

Check in scheduled tasks and also like antivirus programs that can update themselves
and sometimes require a restart.

Learn how to create a scheduled task leads to the understanding of those that have been created.

If something stops Windows:

MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.
TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a period of time instead of the entire file.

    Hello

    The best way is to clean install and start over.

    In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

    If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.

  • After you have reinstalled Windows Vista, you receive an error my key is only for updates and installs not clean the device.

    Activation problem

    I reinstalled Vista (upgrade), when I try to check and enter my product key, it says "only for the upgrade not a clean install.  On the activation screen, it shows all telephone support option.  Thanks for any help!

    This is because a product upgrade key requires a copy of Windows to upgrade.  That's why its called an 'upgrade '.

    Restore the copy of Windows you improved the first time and then move on to Vista.

  • How can I restore my Acer laptop running windows Vista to the factory specifications?

    I was given an Acer Aspire laptop. It is running Windows Vista with 512 MB memory RAM. It has been used and I want to try to restore it to the factory specifications. How can I do this? I tried system restore and it fails every time.

    Hello

    you have a very low amount of RAM to run Vista

    System Restore should not perform a recovery plant

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Acer is usually press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process or through the Acer eRecovery Management under all programs

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Dell etc recovery disk

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?

    Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer.  Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.
