Installation of Windows Vista SP2x86 gives error 80004005
I use a older laptop for the first time in a while. It works in Vista, but I have never updated to SP1 to SP2. When I try, I get this:
Hello
This problem is specific to the Service pack update? You are able to install some other updates?
Method 1
When you install SP2 to Vista, Vista SP2 Setup must update the system startup files. If the third-party disk management tools are used to "clone" disks or partitions, the SP2 Setup program will be unable to identify the correct system startup files.
For more information, see the article:
Service pack Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 install fails with error 0x80004005:

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and try t install the update.

Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530
Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530
Hey guys,.
I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.
I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.
Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.
So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?
And if not, how can I fix?
Thank you. :)
Hi cripple.
Thank you for your message.
Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?
How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?
What is a wireless keyboard?
If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.
I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.
You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.
Original title: Clean Install.
I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.
Hello
With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.
It is an option in Windows 7.
And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.
Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.
In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.
See you soon.

Now just got a new error code: 6 to 8.
The updates, I can't update (!) are:

Second installation was successful, but the installation failed initial always appears at startup upward. At a complete loss to know where to find entries that say my system there are 2 installs of Windows Vista. When launched the CD to 'view' where this "alternate" install is shows unknown HDD to address 0 w a lack of disk space. Of course, it is more than likely that only some files in the registry or the system "ask" that there is a current installation. Where can I find these to remove them? Have not found anything on any forum re: this issue. TYVM<3!>3!>
I see that a "MVP" edited the title of the question, but it did NOT reflect what the question. Please leave the full question in the title of the post. My problem is not a simple installation of 'failure '. I just want to find out where the entries are which are originally to show 2 Windows Vista o/s when I 'start' my computer when there are 'only' real installation. Note: I have two we HARD a WinXP Pro, the other Vista disks. At the start, it shows "Versions of Windows" and then Windows Vista and finally Windows Vista again. The non-existing o/s installation failed is the 3rd entry.
Modify the boot.ini file to remove the installation failed (make sure that you remove the right pair) or in msconfig, check the boot paths

trying to do a clean installation of windows vista by using the dvd
I am trying to simply destroy my computer and start clean using the reinstall DVD supplied with my dell PC. It has windows Vista Home Basic on it. When I put the DVD in its loading and a window pops up asking if I want to install and I press Yes. After a while a box appears that says I don't have enough storage for temporary files. He needs so many megabytes of free space on a partition to be able to load the disc. the problem is that I have NOTHING on the computer, there should be more sufficient storage space! How can I get the DVD to run?

#Hi Verisetti,
Have you installed security software after formatting windows?
If so, you can uninstall the security software temporarily and check if you receive the access violation error.
If the uninstallation of security software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the software of safety accordingly. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.
Note: Make sure that you install the security software after the trial.
What about Windows vista product ID, you can try to validate Windows and check if it helps.
