Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity
Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.
After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.
I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.
If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.
Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.
I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:
I'd be interested to know if the solution worked for you.-ONE -

On the control that I found that mid-November he did not updated either and any attempt to kick start this fails. I spent 2 nights and good Googling to get this fixed number, but now I'm stuck.
The machine seems to be in a bit of a cycle, i.e. that force it to check the updates, it does, but then wants to update the agent on the machine. WU closes and not re - opens.
Re-opening WU shows that this update failed and I got several WU error codes all different. Currently I have the error code is: 8024001So far, I have (in no particular order):
Tried to re - install manually the WU agent, the normally and aggressively - these two don't
Install updates via Autopatcher it also fails
Run CheckSUR.exe, which ends, but solves nothing
WMIdiag na go out with something useful
Disabled the AV (Sophos) and do the updates - still fails
Did a reboot selective via MSCONFIG - always fails when you try
WU arrested and removed "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" - still does not work.
Has attempted to re - apply SP2 - will not be re - apply!Then, someone at - it ideas?

Why the update KB 2434419 install in Vista Home Premium?
I asked the original question in this thread. I guess I have myself not clear enough. I can't install KB 2434419 on my ACER desktop computer and my HP laptop computer, running VISTA home Premium and IE 8. I don't have IE 9 yet, although I'll someday... I rebooted after installation, tried all the ideas in support, re-installed manually. Nothing works. If anyone has ideas, for a person running Vista and IE8, (if it is important yet!) I like it.

I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.
I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security. I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore. I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music. But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?
So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...
1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)
2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)
3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud
Hello
Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.
However, try these options:
Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.
Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade [starter to home premium]
original title: Windows UpdateI am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade
No, it will not work.
Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?
If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.
Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my product key!
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I lost my case with the product key to this topic! I really need help! Can someone help me?
If the operating system is running - use Belarc Advisor to retrieve the key. www.Belarc.com
If the OS is always installed, but inaccessible, you can still be able to recover, depending on what is causing the problem - come back with details.
If you have reformatted, about maybe possible get the key - but unlikely.
If the HD is dead, or you have crushed the old installation, then you are out of luck.
