• Looking for a 'how-to' guide reinstall Windows Vista after upgrading motherboard

  Original title: the motherbard and cpu upgrade

  I want to install (I hope) soon new motherboard and CPU and I was looking for how to guide to reinstall vista after upgrade of the motherboard. Is it possible to get to the office without big hazzle and start reinstalling from there.

  In fact, I want to reinstall vista because I think it's much easier to try to record all programs and other settings.

  I tried to use already search funtion and it did not the asnwer I was looking for.

  I have oem (at least it says in the box) version of vista 32 bit.

  If the motherboard is exactly the same or almost exactly the same there should be no problem.  Otherwise you will want to completely reinstall Vista or even your system will contain drivers for the hardware is no longer present or missing drivers for the new hardware on the motherboard.

  "illuknisaa" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  I know how to reinstall Vista (I did this couple times) but I don't know how Vista reacts when a new motherboard is installed. I just need to reactivate vista or even will I get to the office?

• Error code: Trying 80072F8F update windows after fresh install - Dell Vostro 1510 - (Windows 7 x 64 PRO)

  Hello, I'm trying to update windows after installation and I get error code 80072F8F.  After looking for other pages, I checked my BIOS date and time are correct and Windows as well.

  Laptop: Dell VOSTRO 1510
  Windows 7 x 64 PRO

  I already activated Windows (silly me to check everything actually works) and I need a solution as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I needed Windows update to try and fix a number display adapter (card intel not giving not external display resolutions)- but that's another question.

  I hope that there is a fix out there somewhere in the ether.

  No anti-virus installed at the present time, no anti-spyware, no firewall.

  Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

  The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

• Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

  I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

  Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!

• I tried to install vista service pack 1 error code 8007036be

  I tried to install vista service pack 1.  After so many times, I made a fix it.  Now, I'm getting an error message 8007006BE.  Can anyone help?

  Which means in a way, that communicate with the update server cannot be established.

  This could be caused by a third-party product running on your computer like anti virus etc.

  You can try a clean boot of your computer and installing the update or in the alternative, download the full update and install it.

• Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

  I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

  You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all the hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard- that's why you could not reinstall Windows Vista on the new motherboard, because his attached to the motherboard that initially provided with HP and Vista recovery disk system are supposed to work only with him.

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

• MY GAME WAS RUNNING IN FULL SCREEN IN VISTA AFTER VISTA UPGRADE TO Windows7 (W7), HE EXECUTED IN resolution 640 * 480. PLEASE HELP ME OUT?

  MY GAME WAS being RUN IN FULL SCREEN IN VISTA, AFTER I UPAGRADE VISTA to W7 IN resolution 640 * 480. PLZ HELP me BCz I bought new games and it all running in the same resolution(640*480). my graphics card is ati mobility radeon HD 4330 AND I ALREADY INSTALL ATI CATALYST. BUT NO bcz change, this isn't my windows screen resolution problem, it's game or graphics screen resolution prblm. help, AND I don't want to hear this right click on your desktop and select the option that allows you to adjust your screen resolution. BCZ I already did. Please help me... [sry for my bad English.

  I understand that you have also changed the settings within a game. Desktop resolution settings and the game are two different things.

  Hmm... 640 x 480... It sounds little similar... right click on the file that launches a game > choose Properties > compatibility tab > make sure that in the screen resolution 640 x 40 option is unchecked

  ...

  In addition, if no Vijay and mine tips work... could you tell us what game is it? Maybe he has a known issue with resolution problems.

• Vista - after the installation of the updates I lose Aero

  Well, my usual remedy for that is to go to Start > Panel > administrative tools > Servicesand from there, restartDesktop Window Manager Session Manager and themesservices. My Windows Vista for the Aero theme returns. Is that what I want to know how to stop having to go through this process every time that I have run Windows Vista after the installation and configuration of updates? Is there a solution to my problem, and if so please could you me instructions on how to permanently solve the problem?

  Windows change how to receive updates and never agree to 3rd party hardware drivers through updates.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

  Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  Install them one at a time until you find the one problem.

  Then right-click on it: hide.

  1. run a full scan to ensure that your computer is clean.

  2 How long ago since this problem happened?
  If it's not too long, and if you remember a time when you didn't have this problem, so do a restore of the system in safe MODE.
  Pick a date when there is no problem as long as your restore point.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  3. go to safe mode and run a file system check. This is for finding corrupted files and it will try to repair if it is found.

  4. go to your computer manufacturer and check to see if your card grapgic driver needs to be updated.

• I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through. Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

  I am trying to reinstall vista on another laptop and when I get to the last step (end Installation...) it stops, about 70% of the way through.  Now what? I tried to repeat the process about 6 times now!

  Sorry for the confusion.  I must be useless to English.

  Forget the two laptops.
  I have a problem with a laptop that I tell you all (the Inspiron 1720).
  The disc that I use is labeled as a Windows Vista reinstall disk and provided with the computer when I bought it.  I'm not trying to use it on another computer.

  Reference Dell it is a problem with a process of recovery of Windows and, therefore, a problem of Microsoft.

  See you soon

  Problems with the Dell restore process, contact Dell.
  Dell wrote their recovery process and provided you with this DVD, NOT Microsoft...

  It is their software.

  Ask them for a different recovery DVDs.

  You say that the hard drive has failed.

  He could have more than just tough that failed.
  You can have other hardware issues.

  Hardware issues are beyond the scope of these Forums.

  Good luck with Dell.
