I'm trying to fix a little problem on Microsoft Hearts provided as part of the package of Windows Vista Home Basic
Hearts now appears only in black and white, with a small width (so the cards appear too high, etc.), the statistical record is back to zero and base has vertical stripes. I tried reinstall of Vista drive but cannot find an option to reinstall only the game of hearts - complete reinstallation of Vista seems too drastic! Component of Vista games don't show up on the menu of the control panel remove program so can't try to fix.
Try a new user accoount.
Try the sfc scan. Click Start > type cmd > right click and run as admin > type sfc/scannow > press on enter > restart after it's over.

I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501. I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results. First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel. Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools. For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update. Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer. Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears. The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem. My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero. Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

Hi all
I hope you can help as I'm going crazy! It's my first MAC if im a complete noob.
Me being lazy has decided to download Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 from https://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ site
It contains 3 files which I had to download separately:
Vista_HomeBasic_SP1_32bit_English_Download_Part1_66G - 02017.exe
Boot.wim
install.wim
Once I had downloaded these. I pulled the top of VMWARE AU12EME 2 but could not detect anything. If I then wacked out on a memory stick and ran the .exe on my windows pc. This integrated then all the files I downloaded a good big folder of Vista.
So once again I pulled up to VMWARE fusion 2.0 but still nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I heard people talking that I need an ISO file? But I searched all files that I downloaded and installed, and there is nothing similar. The only thing I can think is that I need to burn the VISTA folder I extracted from my pc to DVD and try running disk on my Mac. But that would make a difference that I tried to run from my DESKTOP MAC key and memory? In addition, there is no ISO files.
Please HELP I'm worried that I just lost my money!
I did a little research, and it was one of the best hits on How to make Vista DVD bootable with WIM downloaded files that I think sums up your situation.
Because I had the file oscdimg.exe since Install Kit automated (Windows AIK) I gave it a try and it worked. In other words, by using the folder of Vista and its content that has been created by you run the files you downloaded you should be able to create a Bootable ISO Image, which you can then use to create a DVD, if you have the right software to burn an ISO Image on DVD. (Maybe you could do this on the Mac) Although if you want to you have even burn the ISO Image to DVD just copy it on the Mac and assign it to the CD/DVD in the settings of Virtual Machines.
Other documents you may find useful: Microsoft TechNet > TechNet Library > Windows > Windows Vista > Windows Vista technical library Roadmap > Windows Vista: deployment > Kit to install Windows Automated (Windows AIK) > Deployment Tools Technical Reference > Command - line Tools Technical Reference > Oscdimg command-line Options
Just to let you know that it took me about 20 minutes to do a search on Google and create the ISO Image and the test that I could start a VM in the Fusion and if you need to download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to get the oscdimg.exe file it obviously will take you a little longer, but it is doable and the solution vs safer trying to get the file oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe from a link sent illegally into the file.
In any case the information presented here can solve your problem of creating a Bootable Image DVD/ISO.

my computer has windows vista basic on it when I went to athinticate, he told me it was a pirate down load that I looked on the bottom of my lap top and I am supposed to have windows vista Home premium. How can I solve this problem with a disc
Hello
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
See if you have a recovery Partition:
There may be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Vista to how you bought your computer, unless the pirated installation wiped.
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.
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:

Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".
Nice day
I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.
I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.
Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.
Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.
Thanks in advance.

My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer. Now, I have a problem with a product key. When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement. I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key. My question is this. If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key. If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key? Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop? Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price? Thank you
