I have Vista Home Edition. Same thing after downloading the Microsoft updates.

However, I do a restore and I get it all back. I want a fix for this, not a reference to another site. (How I wish I could still get a service representative with a name like Mike or Sally!)  I'm ready to abandon this computer and buy a new one with Windows 7 above.  Or do I really want to switch to a Mac?

Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

1. a System Restore to before the updates:

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

System restore steps according to the info above.

Also:

2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

> then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

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

In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

> Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

> or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

See you soon.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

  • At the start of office shows icons and then goes to a blank white screen. I have Vista Home edition

    When I turn on my Dell Inspiron with Vista Home preinstalled desktop PC; the system starts with the desktop icons and then goes to a white screen, absolutely nothing to click on display. I hit control, alt delete, then to display the Task Manager. I click on the Task Manager and the display shows nothing is running. now the taskbar displays the shortcut at the bottom of the screen icons. I then click on the desktop at the bottom of the screen icon and mode full-screen displays a complete picture, including the background with the regular complete icons. Why this happens, and how not to eliminate the white screen after starting? The Task Manager does not fix this.

    Native: Problem solved! My computer flashed a Message automatically asking me to update 'Safemode Dell Now. So I said yes, and the update took about 2 Minutes. Everything seems to be OK. I appreciate enormously the support you offered, and say... THANK YOU for your help. Kind regards... Frank 2468

  • Satellite L350D - 11K: black screen after downloading the Tempro updates

    Hi Forum,

    yesterday, I admitted Tempro download several updates on my satellite L350D - 11K.
    During the last update, it was an update of the firmware, the system crashed, and it no longer starts.

    After removing the battery, the system starts up, but now it has a black screen and I don't know what to do.
    Pressing any key F doesn't show any results and I have no recovery CD.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Thxxx in advance

    Hello

    I don't know why it happened, but if the short workaround solution posted by boarder will not help, so I see good opportunities to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    > During the last update, it was an update of the firmware, the system crashed, and it no longer starts.
    You're talking about the firmware update
    Maybe it was a BIOS update which failed and so the laptop will not start again
    As already said in this case that only the ASP technician could help you.

  • I bought Windows 7 Pro update, I have Vista Home Edition (what are my options?)

    Hi dear,

    I have a problem, yesterday I bought windows 7 professional upgrade, but I discovered when I ran compatibility check that it did not support my home eddition of windows vista.

    So, what should I do?

    is there a solution for this problem?

    can I upgrade to windows vista proffessional then worms & Prof. without extra cost.

    Please need advise and help

    concerning

    Ayman Samman

    You can not upgrade to Vista without charge - you would have to pay for the upgrade of Vista (and you can encounter the same problem depending on what version you get).  Here are the valid upgrade paths:http://windows-performance.com/2009/08/13/windows-7-upgrade-path/.  So if you take this path, make sure that you get the right version of Vista, so you don't end up with the same problem again.  It is has also upgraded Vista to Vista paths as well, so make sure you that you consider those as well you're actually able to upgrade Vista to another version of Vista that can be upgraded to the version of Windows7 you (and all keep because if you need to do a complete re-installation you will need all those discs and product keys.

    I would try to return the software to exchange it for a different version where you can upgrade (or a full version where you can do a custom installation without the option of upgrade).  It is about the only other possibility that buy a version appropriate - there is no other solution.  You can't do a custom using a version upgrade of the software - installation it may seem to work, but you will not be able to activate and then you will be unable to use the system.

    Sorry, we can not be more help, but these are the options.  I hope that the store will work with you.

    Good luck!

  • After downloading the last update for my iphone 6, it caused a problem with Siri... everyone has experienced the same thing?

    I downloaded the latest update for my iphone 6.  Siri now does not work.  Is there a link?

    Yes, lately, siri is useless for me.  Every time I try to create a reminder (of dozens of times a day) it says "a s...". "followed by"I'm sorry, I couldn't create a reminder. »

    Turn off the phone and then back on (full stop) restores this feature for about 30 minutes, then it stops working again.

    Also, when I say "Open recalls" Siri she responds with "I'm sorry, but I can't find an application named"reminders"on your phone.

    This is despite the fact that the reminders app is RIGHT THERE and there and APPLE APP.

    Ridiculous.

  • my computer was obsolete seriously hurt, after downloading the first update to it crashed.

    the computer was not connected to the internet at about 6-7 years and when I finally hooked it up it worked very well was extremely happy until I tried to install my anti-virus if necessary. how he told me that I needed and the most recent version of microsoft service pack, mine was horribly outdated. I then clicked on update of windows and followed the instructions to a "T". how when the resart now or later came after you had finally download service Pack2 (which is no longer supported, but he still told me to download), I clicked restart now how it did as it was assumed, but when he started up everything was gone. programs, whatever it might be saved, * even the Start button and other options which will usually appear at the bottom of the screen disappeared. and I can't do but turning power by pressing the power button on and off. im getting seriously annoyed with my computer, correction with period of windows. and I must say the $60 fee to contact you to solve my problem infact your caused service does not me cheered in any way, shape, or form. slowly getting to the point of frustration in which breaking my piece of * and buy an Apple will actually give me more satisfaction, then get mine fixed.
