  If you have activated the preferences-> Security-> FileVault system, then you must enter your password initially so that device drivers can decrypt your encrypted drive.  Once the system is running, you must then log into your account.

• Vista SP2 (and Net framework 3.5 Family update) fails to install

  Hi, Windows update always fails to install Vista SP2 & Net framework service pack 1 & family update Net framework 3.5 with error code 80073712.

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Bluetooth does not work since installing Vista SP2

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 1128tx laptop.  It has bluetooth built-in and used to connect to my phone without problem.  I recently upgraded to Vista SP2, and since then, bluetooth does not work.  In the control panel when I click on bluetooth devices it does not connect, and when I click on bluetooth, nothing happens.  I downloaded the latest drivers from HP, I installed it is said in the end the process there is no bluetooth device installed and the only option is to cancel the installation.  I've been on microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960531/ where I used the option "fix it for me", which has removed the option of Control Panel devices and I don't know how to fix this!  I followed the instructions from HP on this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=au&product=3938840&docname=c00915262, but I don't see anything on bluetooth technology on the Device Manager page.

  Any thoughts? !  Ta!

  HELO JosieC, welcome.

• interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

  Hello
  Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
  The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
  Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
  I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

  I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
  in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

  my internet actually works, but I don't know why
  I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
  but I do not know why :)
  I hope that my internet is still functional

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Install VISTA SP2 - all my old documents are "locked by another user.

  I used Windows update to install the Vista SP2 and now all my existing documents came as "locked by another user", or in the case of older documentation and worksheets in read-only or corrupt.  The docs are very good, I can copy it to another machine and they work.  In addition, the file attributes are NOT marked read-only.  Any ideas?  I was going to cancel, but the restoration of the system shows no point of restoration before the update, even if I manually created a Saturday.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi tearnott,

  Thank you for using answers Forum.

  Have you tried creating a new user as suggested by Debbie?

  I found this on the desktop support site:
  http://Office.Microsoft.com/en-us/Word/HA011406121033.aspx

  If you cannot make changes to a document, your Word program cannot be enabled, the document can be locked for editing or protected by password, or you could try to modify a document or text in a protected form.

  Note   You cannot edit an open document in Word Viewer, but you can copy text to the Clipboard to paste into other applications.

  This command is not available because the document is locked for editing

  If you see the following message when you try to modify a document in Word 2003 or Word 2002: "this command is not available because the document is locked for editing" your Word program can not be activated. To check, follow these steps:

  • On the help menu, click Activate Product .

    If Word is enabled, a message tells you that the product has already been activated. If Word is not enabled, the Office Activation Wizard appears to guide you through the activation process.

  Note   You can open a Word document, even if the program is not activated, but you cannot use many commands and you cannot save the document.

  The document is locked for editing by another user

  If you see the following message when you try to modify a document in Word 2000 or Word 2002: "the document is locked for editing by another user," Word previously might have shut down improperly while the file is still open.

  The document can also be locked from editing if the original version of the document is already open, or if the document is shared over a network and another user opened. This applies to Word 2000, 2002 and 2003.

  Note   If the Group similar taskbar buttons is selected, the original version of the document can be open without your realizing it. Click Word in the Windows task bar to see the names of all the Word documents that are open.

  Your document is protected by a password

  If the owner of the protected the document with a password (including a blank password), you might be limited to read-only access unless you enter the password. If you forget or lose a password, you cannot change the document.

  This modification not allowed because the document is locked

  If you see this message at the bottom of the application window when you try to modify a document: "This unauthorized change because the document is locked," the document is protected by a restriction of amendment no changes (read only) or comments in Word 2003 (or a restriction of comments in Word 2002 and Word 2000). The author of the document to restrict editing features to protect the Document. Menu commands may also be unavailable, depending on the permissions granted to your by the author of the document.

  Note   When you open a document protected by Information Rights Management (IRM) in Word 2003, you might have permission to view the document but not to change it. When you open the document, the Office shared workspace pane opens by default on the right side of the application window. In the task pane, click View My permissions to see your permissions.

  I hope this helps. Chris

• After application of update Windows Vista SP2, FSX will not start

  FSX is not started after that I applied Windows VISTA Sp2. When the process is considered to be a task manager, FSX.exe seems to CPU to make loops. Are there not the method to solve something?

  Hi BuyIntel,

  Thanks for posting on the Forum of answers.

  I suggest to backup your saved games and reinstall the program.
  Something in the Service Pack may have corrupted some aspects of FSX, this should solve it.

  I suggest also to visit your video card manufacturers website to download the latest drivers and re-installation of the unit.

• MsiExec.exe * 32 keeps trying to install when I start my computer

  MsiExec.exe * 32 keeps trying to install when I start my computer

  Hi id75080

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

  When you get this error? You try to install a program? Or just come to the top when you restart?

  Try these steps and check:

  Step 1: Stop and restart the Windows Installer Service.

  1. click on the Start button or press the Windows keyboard.

  2. in the search box, type Services and then click on the Services element that appears at the top.

  3. expand the Services window and then scroll down to Windows Installer.

  4. right click on the Windows Installer list item and then click on stop, right click again and then click Start.

  Step 2: Unregister and re-register Windows Installer.

  To do this, follow these steps:
  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. in the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then press ENTER.
  3. click on start and then click Run.
  4. in the Open box, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.

  Step 3: SFC Scan

  The SFC utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

  You can still run a sfc on the windows vista computer scan. To run a scan suite sfc as follows:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

  NOTE: you must log in using the administrator account and try to install it like that. Or you can also try running the program by right clicking and select "run as Administrator". It should work.

  Step 4: Utility Windows Install CleanUp:

  Windows Installer CleanUp Utility may be able to help. You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

  Download the latest version from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/290301/

  NOTE: , We can have only a single anti-virus installed / running on your computer at any time. Conflicts, system crashes and frost can occur if you have an Anti Virus installed and running on the computer.

  Step 5: Windows install

  We need to install the latest version of Windows Installer that is 4.5, the link to it is:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Restart and check if you get the same error.

  After back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.
