Installation/space Windows Vista problems

Similar Questions

• Initial full Vista installation failed, shows 2 installs of Windows Vista from starting.

  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!>

  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

• 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?

• Windows Vista problems and DVD

  I got in trouble for awhile with my DVD RW
  I can read and write the cdroms.  I can write on DVD without using any additional software but windows.  I can not read or read that DVD software or movies, including software to reinstall windows vista.
  I asked here several times for help and decided to restore the computer to factory settings.
  Then, I followed closely ALL the following:

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
  that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

• 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.

• The upgrade of my hardware invalidate my installation of Windows Vista? How can I solve this problem?

  I recently started to get the message "this copy of Windows is not genuine", which is a little disconcerting for me. I have recently (April 20, to be exact) installed Service Pack 2 and I also recently installed new hardware, but everything worked without problem until today. Let me include some details on my system, and also what items of equipment have been replaced:

  OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
  Recently replaced hardware: motherboard, RAM, processor, power supply, chassis

  As stated, things were aired as easily as they always until today, when I noticed that my office is transformed to a solid black color instead of the wallpaper I had already. Then I noticed an icon in the system tray indicating that I could click it to activate my copy of Windows; When you click on it, I gives me the message "the product key of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium you typed is invalid for activation."  I've been running this copy of Windows for four and a half, and it has been installed on the PC that I bought directly from Dell, so I know that it is a legitimate copy. As my Dell OEM chassis has been replaced by a generic box (the new motherboard did fit properly into the exclusive Dell chassis), I do not have the sticker with the information of Windows, so I can't post it. I'll post the MGA information below; any additional necessary information is available, but I don't know what else could be required to post.

  Information copied to my Clipboard of the MGA diagnosis tool are the following:

  Well, it's a disappointment. If this is the case, it would be possible to purchase a license upgrade to Windows 7, or should I get a full version? I prefer to get the version if possible upgrade from $80 it's cheaper. Cancellation of my driver's license means that it is no longer an option?

  "I suggest you buy a Windows 7 license, that Vista is no longer sold."

  As I recommended you it to my 1st answer you need to buy a Windows 7 license.

  And the reason is that you now don't have a Windows license to upgrade qualification, as your Vista license is void for the reasons I have already explained to you in my previous to this topic answers...

  And before you buy a license of Windows 7, follow these steps to check if your hardware and software is Compatible Windows 7.

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

  Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

  "Windows 7 system requirements"

  "Windows 7 Compatibility Center" for software and hardware:

  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.

  For more information, see the following articles:

  What is the validation, and how does it work?

• "Not enough space" error windows install during the installation of Windows vista SP2 software

  Original title - cannot install Windows Installer 3.1 on Windows Vista Home Edition

  I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. The interesting thing is that I return this software a year and I installed it on vista and it worked fine. Now I have re-installed windows vista on my computer and had updated. Now this problem. Could there be a reason why some update to windows vista, I installed now wasn't there last year that causes the problem. Can anyone help.

  Hi tbilal22

  
  Windows Installer 4.5 comes pre-installed with Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1. Please refer to the article for more information-

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942288

   

  It is possible that the old software, it is not compatible to be used with Windows Vista SP2. I suggest you try software installation by using the Windows Vista or XP on Windows Vists SP2 compatibility mode and check if you are able to solve the problem.

  Compatibility mode is used if a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work properly. Then, you can use the program compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility of the program settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab

  You can check the link for assistance on compatibility mode - mentioned below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

   

  I hope this helps.

• installation of expedia streets 98 in windows vista problem

  I like expedia streets 98 but cannot be installed in my Dell with windows vista home basic edition.  After installing and opening of the mapping program, my computer said I have problems with the Pushpins (there is no reference) and I restarted it following the instructions and still does not download.
  My Dell computer is 3 years old.  My old computer has XP and it works well with this program of mapping expedia... I love this mapping program.

  You can't use a program forever in modern operating systems.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on setup.exe O run as admin.
