• Blue screen after Windows Vista SP2 installed on my TouchSmart IQ770

  
  

  All, I came across this thread, after having the same problem (constant BSOD after Vista SP2) installed.  The fix referenced by MS that contains a placeholder file.  However, this most recent patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975163/ contains even more recent versions of all the files in question.

  For this installation, I went to safe mode and disabled the wireless network card.  I copied the fix of a usbstick on the desktop.  After the reboot of the machine was stable enough to install this fix (before it would break before the fix might get installed).  After the restart, yet once again, I have reactivated the wireless card.

  The system seems to be stable again (its place for over an hour now, the previous record was 5 minutes approximately from SP2)

  I hope this helps someone to another Google search for Vista SP2 IQ770 BSOD USB

• I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed.

  I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed. While my speakers work well, I cannot hear any sound in my headphones every time that I plug them in. And whenever I take off the helmet, I can hear clearly. However the same headphones work with another machine perfectly. I tried all the troubleshooting guides, but can't get my headphones to work with my laptop. Appreciate if a solution can be provided.

• Power outage during Vista SP2 install; black screen on startup of the PC

  Hello-

  I have a PC desktop Gateway which is no longer start after a power failure has occurred during the installation of Vista SP2. The computer displays the progress at the bottom indicator, then, before that can display the login screen, the screen goes black, with a white cursor. CTRL-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Shift-Esc do nothing.

  I tried without success to the following:

  * Safe Mode/Safe Mode control guest - boots to black screen new
  * Startup Repair - told me there is nothing wrong
  * System Restore - tells me there is no available restore points
  * System restore the OEM DVD - can not find hard drive
  * Re-install this is disabled because I can't start Windows Vista-

  There are * all * options other than wiping the disc/lose all my data? The PC is in a remote area and backup drive is not an easy thing to achieve.

  The PC is no longer under warranty of the bridge, and I understand that Microsoft supports is no longer installs OEM of Vista.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  I can tell you how to make bootable disks, but you already have a disk.

  He has changed since good means of XP repair install from disk by booting from it.

  I would add that info to disk Bootable repair, just in case your DVD is a factory of one computer.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

  It's Vista only repair installation option these days.
  It must be switched on!
  Not much use, is it!

  Good luck with it.

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

  Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• Stuck in a loop of reboot computer after vista SP2 installed

  I installed the vista SP2 update earlier today, I was invited to reboot for updates could continue. When the computer starts up after windows loading screen (before the login screen appears), it says updated 1 filled with 3 but then there was an error in the installation and say he was restoring the previous settings and wait. less than a second to load the login screen steady after the previous settings have been restored, stop starting the computer. When loading to the top, it says 'error in the installation of update, restore the previous settings', then as soon as he finished and goes to the login screen it a new past in stopping and restarting. This continues constantly. If someone had a similar problem or have any ideas? When I tried to load the previous settings of windows recovery, he says there is no image to use.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• Equium A200: impossible to get Vista installed on the new HARD drive recovery

  Hello

  After a failure of the HD I bought a Toshiba no AF HD which is defective
  Now that I had to buy a replacement HARD drive that is a player of AF but no matter how hard I try, I can't recovery Vista Home Premium software to install

  I get an error "Windows cannot configure Windows" or something like this message.

  Pointers would be most useful.

  Thank you, Tim.

  Usually, is not a big problem to install the Toshiba Vista image using the new HARD disk.
  But I've already read in different threads that in the case of much larger hard drives the recovery procedure could not complete successfully.

  In which case you would not be able to complete the Vista installation by using the recovery disk, you can try to install the system using the Microsoft disc. In this case I recommend you take the Win 7 OS. Its much better than Vista OS.

• Impossible to download Vista SP2, "Unknown Publisher".

  I have Vista SP1. Could someone help me please? I've been struggling with my phone for 3 weeks now. I restored to factory settings and the first thing tried to manually download SP2 from the Microsoft site. At the end of the download, I get this message:
  "The file has been blocked because it doesn't have a valid digital signature." Unknown Publisher
  If I save it, and then try to open it by 'Run as administrator', I find myself with ' Data is not valid.
  Before you try to download it I updated Windows updates "check updates but let me choose whether to download and install them." There are 1 account, I am the administrator and there is no password set.

  Open a free support incident.

  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#section_3

  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 a local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a USB or SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formattedotherwise:

       http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  McAfee Consumer product removal tool
       http://download.McAfee.com/Products/Licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  NB: There are updates prerequisite that MUST be installed before you can install the SP2 (or SP1). I wouldn't recommend trying to install Vista Service Pack, unless and until it is offered by Windows Update.

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

  Good luck!

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Amber,
  I suggest that you run the following tools and then try to install SP1.

  First to perform a clean boot on your PC.
  Run the disk error checking.
  Run System File Checker.
  Run the System Update tool.
  So if these tools did not report any errors, then install the SP1.

  Post back with the results.

• Impossible to get Vista Home laptop to connect wirelessly to C6380 printer

  Hello

  I bought a Photosmart C6380 and I think it is an easy task to connect to this printer boy I was wrong! I have been successfully connect this ptinter to my ASUS router/switch and could print from my XP Home Office, this computer is connected to the router with CAT5e cable. What I can't do is get this same configuration on my laptop VISTA home. I'm sure that the laptop is connected to my network (pourrait borwse the internet, was ping my office) but I couldn't ping the IP address of the printer C6380. It is not surprising that the HP software provided has not found all devices configured on the network.

  What I have tried is the following:

  1. I could ping the IP of my laptop VISTA Home from my office and I could also ping the IP address of the printer and printing is successful.

  2. I could ping the IP address of my desktop XP Home from my laptop VISTA Home, but from here, I could not ping the printer.

  3 disabled the firewall on the VISTA laptop, I still could not ping the printer (Destination unreachable)

  4. updating to version 12 of the HP software and did all the updates from HP. Tried to find the printer, as before, the HP software could not see device at all. Ping the IP address of the printer came with the same results.

  5 disabled IPv6 on VISTA NIC, Ping the printer, the same results - inaccessible destination.

  I think I did everything what a sane person would not to analyze this problem without resorting to trace on the network packets. Is there something else I could try - something I've missed here? I'm not accusing VISTA Home right now! Looking at this forum, there seems to be a lot of problems related to wireless to VISTA - is that correct? (This may be down to the chipset wireless laptop?)

  Kind regards

  Hi there is WiFi Guy,

  Trying to navigate between the parameters of 'isolation of user' in the wireless configuration, I noticed that for some reason any which parameters would remain unchanged or registered. I tried different settings, and there is no change at all! I did not understand why it is thought that there is an error with the wireless router. So I tried firmware updates (but none is available from ASUS) and even considered going with the OpenWrt firmare. But before we go down that road it dawned on me that the update of the page could be due TSE incompatible browser. Then I opened to the top of old trust Microsoft IE, instead of Google Chrome that I used to try to change the settings, down-and-here's the wireless settings page is not what I saw in Google Chrome! "4 X" and is therefore "user isolation. So i unchecked 'isolation of user,' the settings saved and restarted the router's wireless service. Now I can ping other wifi devices even the printer to my wireless laptop!

  Tried my luck, installed the software provided HP and now the SW can detect the printer on the wireless network. Yes!

  So it is a lession: somethimes it's the room the less obvious technology that you take for granted is in fault and nothing complicated at all!

  Thanks for your help!
