installation vista service packs

I want to do a reinstall from disc installed at the factory.  I have Windows Vista with Microsoft Word 2007. I have three questions about the procedure: (1) the present register is corrupted, and reinstall it so will a registration system? (2) what I have to install Service Pack 1, 2, and 3 in turn or do I need to install Service Pack 3 only?

Thanks for any help.

Hello

1, a reinstall will do as the registry is part of the operating system that you want to reinstall.

You can also check for errors and if necessary make a repair installation:

"How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation.

"How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

  • Internet Explorer does not work after Vista Service Pack 2 installation with IE 8

    I accepted the installation of Vista Service Pack 2 yesterday with IE 8 upgrade.  Now, I can't get IE 8 or Firefox to connect to the Internet.  I checked my config proxy and it is set to auto detect.  I had Vista analyze my connection with my wireless router and it is no problem. Please notify.

    Uninstall IE8 and see if that helps:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

    I downloaded the Service Pack 2 of Windows Vista, so I could install an application on my computer. Is not compatible Windows Vista Service Pack 1. I've been sitting in front of my computer for a while and the green bar progress is stuck at it seems to be 100% or 99%. I was going to complete the process, but I don't want to damage my PC.

    Too bad guys! I had Windows Update running in the background and my computer is automatically restarted on 5 Minutes after!

    Tips:

    Make sure to close all programs and applications that might interfere with the Installation of the Service Pack.

  • Vista Service Pack 1 installs - perpetual loop

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone would be good enough to help me. I'll have the perpetual loop of Service Pack 1 by saying it is installed but is not as he continues to repeat in Windows Update. I made a new reformat and reinstall yesterday to solve the problem, but is happening all over again. I ran the tool Vista only strengthened. I just ran a FixIt and he could not solve the problem of Windows Update. I'm worried about the stability of my laptop. I'm not wonder with computers. It's a Toshiba Satellite A210 Vista 32 bit Home Premium btw. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if I could just get the hell outta Vistaland altogether and go to 7, but I need that SP1 installed even for that! Having a nightmare. Help, please. Thank you, Simon :)

    Hello

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.
