    Hello Vicki vs,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Have you scanned your computer for malware?  I added a few steps to perform.  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

    Please follow these links to scan your computer.

    1. run it Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool


    2
    this online scanner (in safe mode with network, if possible):
    http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/Center/howsafe.htm

    When running Windows Vista in Normal Mode or Mode without failure:

    1. open a CMD window as an administrator (click Start, all programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt and choose Run as administrator)

    2. run this command: sfc / scannow

    3. look for the results returned by the SFC

    Watch carefully the present SFC results in the command prompt window.  The three possibilities and their conclusions are

    ·          SFC found no problems: This means that versions of the correct system files are used by Windows Vista, SFC.exe can determine. If you're still having problems in Windows, it could be questions of registry (SFC checks the files, not the registry), software installed on Windows or equipment.

    ·          SFC and fixed problems: This means that the SFC may have solved your problem. Try to reproduce the problem again. If the problem persists, it may be that there is unrelated to system file issues. But the presence of these questions could indicate that corruption

    ·          Found but SFC could not solve problems: This means that there are more important issues with the Windows system files. It could be that you have corruption in the SFC store uses for recovery.

  • Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

    My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

    I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

    I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

    What's wrong?

    I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

    I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Vista Home Premium: Startup time and office flaws often requiring the log off / log on to Correct

    At all to being able to help solve these problems successfully:

    When I bought my office, it came preloaded with Win XP (a FANATASTIC/s o!) with an installation disc free for Vista Home Premium. I have installed Vista until recently due to support XP being more available.

    Problems currently on a regular basis (every reboot) are:

    (1) long startup (sometimes nearly 10 minutes)

    (2) the "Blacktop" (AERO) Vista appears generally "gray" (like Win Classic) but with VERY little
    Services (icons missing, unable to run diagnostic programs, etc.).

    In this situation, I usually 'Log Off' and 'Connect' again and it fixes the problem-"bitumen".
    is back with the functions of the al. Despite this, I'll restart desktop using Services.msc. for all the functions

    are available.

    System information:

    (A) AMD 64 Athlon 3500 + (2.20 GHz)
    (B) 3.00 GB RAM
    (C) Vista 32 Bit (SP1 and SP2 installed (all updates current)
    (D) ATI Radeon XPress 200 Series (current driver)
    (E) all drivers are current (no changes required)
    (F) update BIOS (not not required)

    Note:

    (1) I am the user ONLY if the 'Default' options are regularly 'Log In' (as admin) - no guest accounts, etc.

    (2) I reduced some Desktop effects, which are not necessary (Menu Fade in and out, etc.) according to

    instructions of MSFT community on how to do this and what is safe to disable. This helped a little
    and I don't miss these features.

    (2) I deleted the "Windows.old" folder (as there was nothing to add to the Vista o/s).

    (3) I have NOT deleted the Partition which was part of the Win XP System Restore feature as)
    "I don't know if I should as well as to think that I should keep this system offline and running XP).

    (4) I use a security program that securely wipes deleted data, cache password, etc..
    Under Win XP, there was the possibility of "Protect Restore Points" (not required for Vista).
    I do NOT use the option "delete shadow copies".

    My questions are:

    (A) what is the cause of the boot extended both office and how to tackle it successfully?

    (B) what is the problem with the desktop computer? I don't mind the Log in and out a lot but would like to get rid
    me of this disadvantage.  I would like TO have the Vista boot WITHOUT having to Log in and out to

    ensure that the AERO desktop is available and functional.

    (C) should I delete the files and restore Partition in Win XP? Is this the cause may be a conflict with
    Vista? Also, please let know us if you think it would be better to keep these files available if no
    conflicts are possible or probable.

    (D) what is the path, the file name or folder (path if necessary) which governs the entire desktop
    (startup, appearance, services, etc.). so I can enter my security software to exclude it from
    be affected?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Incidentally - for all owners of Scanner Epson 1200U running Vista Service Pack 2:

    YES! Successfully, you CAN install and run this scanner on Vista with the EPSON Twain 5.53 driver without twisting your registry, etc.

    Steps to follow:

    (1) download the file of v5.53 (10245.exe) driver TWAIN Epson

    2) extract to the folder (default location or a location of choice) and open the folder

    (3) right click on the "Setup.exe" file, go to properties and set the compatibility to Win XP SP-2

    (4) run the configuration file and wait for Windows Vista to give up the search on the web, ignore the 'warning' when he

    comes to the top and connect the scanner to complete installation as you did under Win XP (or earlier versions)

    NOTE: You will have to wait a long TIME for the next window appears once complete Vista

    research on the web. It seems that the reason why a lot of Vista with the Epson 1200U Scanner users are

    running out of patience, that it was my problem-so, the Eureka moment happened!

    My camera works great! The only loss is you open TWAIN in the application, is not

  • Blue Screen at shutdown - STOP: 0x0000 008F (Vista Home Premium 32-bit)

    Whenever I stop, I get a blue screen of death.  I had not used my computer for a few months, so I do not remember if the hardware or software has been added.

    I put the BSOD to stop so I could write the codes - I googled them came but with nothing.

    Here is what says the BSOD:

    Hello

    Two main causes of this blue screen video drivers and BIOS - check with system manufacturer site for
    View of the adapter (video) and BIOS, then on site of the manufacturer of the device for the last video. There may be other drivers
    in order to check there. DISABLE the auto-pilot plant as those who are older and if updates Windows suggests
    a pilot just HIDE. Antivirus is another possibility.

    See methods of update driver generic in the next message.

    BCCode: 8th 0x0000008E is the same as 0x1000008E

    Cause

    Bug KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control is a very common bug control. To interpret it, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates that a memory access violation has occurred.

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques:

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the address of the exception) should identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Ensure that all new equipment installed is listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A chauffeur service or defective peripheral system could be responsible for this error. The hardware problems, such as BIOS incompatibilities, conflicts of memory and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If the verification of the message bug list a driver by name, disable or remove that driver. In addition, disable or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third-party remote control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the system startup service using the recovery and then Console by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device or driver responsible for control of bug 0x1E. You can disable the cache in memory of the BIOS to try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or after installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and the system BIOS incompatibilities. For any problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with lack of disk space, reduce the number of files on the hard disk drive target. Search and delete temporary files that you do not have to have, files hidden Internet, application backup files and files saved .chk , which contain fragments of files on disk scans. You can also use an another hard disk drive with more free space for the installation.

    You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS

    =============================================

    Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.

  • Installation of Age of Empires (gold) on a Vista Home premium OS.

    I have Age of Empires Gold Edition I bought quite earlier.

    After having moved the House and updated my pc I tried to install it on my new laptop. It is running Vista Home premium. The program works through installation installed 100% and then stops. Close the window by using 'X' and then when you start it tells me to insert the correct disk (because it deleted the files installed during the closure of the facility). Gold is not compatible with vista?

    Thank you

    I think it should work.  Try, right click on the installer and choose "Run as Administrator" and see if it works for you.

  • Vista Home Premium SP2 installation problems

    SP2 says its installed but Windows Update shows it as an available update. When I view the system information, it still shows only installed SP1. I tried the standalone install and I got error 0 X 80070564 connection failed. SP2 shows as has been properly installed on Windows updates the history but it shows also the lack of installation after 2-3 hours to install, restart, then back to sp1. I stop all AV, Spyware, adware, Windows Defender by other items on the SP2 installation problems. I also ran system preparation and the System File Checker. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on computer laptop HP DV5 Dual Core. I have not found anything on the failure error connection displayed in the standalone sp2 update.

  • How to get a windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installation disc?

    My computer is an emachine T5086.  It has Windows Vista Home Premium and when loading drivers they stop loading at "windows32 drivers/crcdisk sys. I don't know what that means.

    Then, the computer restarts and asks me to install my windows installation disc for repairs.  F8 on reboot is not available as an option.  I don't have a repair option I turn on the computer and hold down the F8 key manually.  I don't have a windows disk or recovery disk and I can't to where I can find a restore either point.

    How to make a windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installation disk?  I have my product key. Or where can I get one?

    Hello

    There are different methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact the manufacturer of your computer, eMachines and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    http://www.eMachines.com/EC/en/us/content/home

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    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.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

    How can I get my E drive working again?  I inadvertently stopped a backup file and ejected from the disc without it completed stopped.  Now, he does not recognize the disc.  Please help me.  Computer: Compaq (Desktop), Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Packs 1 and 2.

    Hello

    Check with the support of Compaq, their online documentation and drivers and their forums for
    known issues.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    drive from someone with the same model.

    Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

    DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
    devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  • came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional. I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.

    original title: lack of games
    I have an Acer Aspire PC. It came loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. Recently, I reformatted the hard drive and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional.

    I have no games. No solitaire, Minesweeper, no nothing.
    How can I, without seeking to erase and reinstall again?

    To activate the built-in Windows 7 games:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  • Why Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installs not Windows updates?

    I am not able to download and install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit windows update.  This Gateway laptop has always been able to quickly and easily install the update by clicking windows update.  However, since the introduction of Windows 10 it has been a lot of your time trying to install updates.  I had this same problem with Windows 7 too.  Never before there was no problem for the two operating systems.  Installation of Windows updates has always been easy and fast without any problem.  Running the troubleshooting isn't good and hunting error codes has been unproductive.  What the hell is happening?

    Hi Joe Cool1:

    'Check for updates...' crashes and slow Windows updates currently affect the SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users, and I doubt it's a coincidence that Microsoft has ended mainstream support and only provides support for these two operating systems.  The evidence points more to a problem with the Windows Update Agent (WUA Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll v7.6.7600.256 has not been updated since June 2012) and the problem tends to be more prevalent on computers with slower processors and a limited amount of RAM.

    There are step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates doesn't work do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours which should speed up Windows Update for both for Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.  The instructions were for users of Vista, so when you reach step 4 just use the appropriate links of Win 7 on the page Web of Dalia http://wu.krelay.de/en/ (Win 7 x 64 if you have 64-bit Win 7 OS;) Win 7 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Win 7 OS) to download packages update stand-alone correct (.msu files) for missing Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates on your Win 7 machine.

    You can also find some useful tips in entry 9 August 2016 Microsoft MVP Woody Leonhard on his Woody on Windows InfoWorld blog titled 2 easy steps to speed up scans of Windows 7 update that includes detailed instructions for the use of circumvention of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/.  Woody's workaround for Dalai to speed up Windows Update to users as well Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.
