  • Whenever I turn on my computer I get a box that pops up and say "Update: there is an error during installation." Please reinstall the application.

    Whenever I turn on my computer I get a box that pops up and say "Update: there is an error during installation." Please reinstall the application"How can I do this?

    Original title: when I turn on my computer

    You should consider carefully as pop - up and determine what application has a problem.

    If he has no idea anywhere in the pop - up, first physically disconnect your computer from the Internet (because in the following steps, you will temporarily disable your antivirus software).

    • Click Start and type "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) in the search box and press ENTER.
    • When the "System Configuration" window opens, select the tab "start".
    • Uncheck the half of the listed items (for your convenience, click on "Startup Item" in the column header to sort the items alphabetically)
    • Click OK and restart (click here to avoid the warning that you are in a diagnostic mode)

      If the pop-up warning does NOT appear, the problem application has been one of the items you unchecked.  If this is the case, reopen the System Configuration and check again half of the elements that had checked you.

      Similarly, if the pop-up warning appears, then the application problem is that remained turned on. In this case, open the Configuration of the system, again check the items that you had disabled, then uncheck half of the remaining items.

    • Restart and continue the process until you have identified the problem application.
    • Once you have identified the problem application, open System Configuration once more, select "Normal startup" on the "Général" tab and restart.
    • Do not forget to reconnect your computer to the Internet
    • Uninstall or reinstall the application issue.

  • After installing the new hard drive and using recovery discs, I get this message could not start because the following file is m issing or damaged system32\drivers\pci.sys

    I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that! Basically the hard drive was about to fail and I so now the new one installed and I used my recovery disks and all seemed well until the recovery disks have been completed and the computer says to get out them. Then the computer restarted several times and then I get this message:
    Windows cannot start because missing or corrupt the system 32\drivers\pci.sys
    Then he said: "you can try to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM.
    Select 'R' in the first screen to start repair.
    one of the many questions I have is that CD-ROMs are talking? It is the recovery disk, they want me to or what? also if you know a CV or another page which includes help on this specific topic would also help! Thank you

    Hello panjok2,

    Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive.  If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.

    In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case.  If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Best regards

  • I have a Dell Dimension 530 we want to give to one of our students, but need to wipe the drive and reinstall the original software... Anyone able to help?

    We have the original supplied with the computer disks.

    Hello

    You don't say what operating system but the Vista Forums.

    Here's Dell to reinstall Vista using their provided disks:

    If you ever reinstall one that never came with disks, this is the method of Dell to reinstall Vista using the recovery Partition it would have:

    See you soon.

    p.s. If you have another operating system, you can change this information at the top of the Dell Web sites in the links depending on the operating system you have.

  • users and internet accounts. -Account that a single user can connect to the Internet at the same time

    When I am connected to the computer, and I 'switch user' other user accounts, cannot connect to the internet, unless I have complelty "log off." How can I fix? I should be able to stay connected with the windows open, so I can continue when I get back.

    I should be able to stay connected with the windows open, so I can continue when I get back.

    It depends on your network, there'S no connection.  For example, it could certainly happen to a user who was logged only under that user.   However, in this case instead of completely disconnected the first account you could probably have the first account log out and hang up the connection.  Then the second account probably could dial and connect.  FWIW, I think a DSL PPPoE user might see similar symptoms.

  • Uninstall Vista French installed in French Toshiba authorized repair center and reinstall the original English version

    Toshiba Satellite A100 purchased in the Netherlands with us English Vista. Machine repaired recently in Rabat by the Toshiba authorized service center. OEM recovery disks Toshiba 1 + 2 do not used by repairshop. Instead, they performed a clean Vista French, updated facility updated with SP2. OEM recovery disks do not reinstall in English, but only in French. MS sticker on machine watch original product key. How can I cancel the French version and do a custom installation of the English version with only the recovery OEM disks 1 + 2?   Thanks for any helpful answers.

    Why did not follow this method?

    You can format the drive in this way and reinstall at the same time.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Device not start after rooting and reinstalling the original software

    Hello and welcome to you all from Cape Town, South Africa.

    Awhile back, I decided it would be a good idea at the root of my Xperia Z, not a big deal really, even if I had to ask a mate of mine to help when I managed to bootloop device, the beautiful will... not!

    Well good to cut a loooong story... short ish! My Z has been reset to the factory / carrier standard and after about an hour, I decided to play again and try my hand at "flashing" one of the other carriers due to having firmware changed service providers! If by chance, you were wondering how that happened, here, I'm stuck with a device that does not load properly and juuuust on boots, only for a fraction of second program start screen for THE SONY XPERIA Z... then... tickets... gone, dead, all just tired!

    I then rolled along for my poor unsuspecting companion, who just shook his head when I handed him the said device. The poor boy had for a week and has just managed to restore the software, even if he is convinced that it is a hardware problem, as in the battery!

    Please one, if not all of you, kind people put me on my my Sony and give me either a glimpse of hope, or simply give it to me right and tell me what might be wrong with the unit and weather or not, it can be resolved, I will impose a ban on all fiddle devices... capable.
