latest OS has not completely installed, now cumputer won't boot vista

In the middle of an OS vista to 2/3 update, my computer lost power (or rather her husband turned it off!) and now the computer does not start and goes to the blue Screan of death. I tried to change the boot settings, tried to boot from a disk (we have a Dell), and nothing happens. I ran the tests and others, then wait for hours for the tests to run, nothing seems to be broken other then the computer will not start. I tried pressing F8 too, but he doesn't send me the advanced boot system. (Maybe I did it wrong, I have to press F8 or hold the effer, like I do with F12?)

I'm at a loss to know what to do. Before I take to get it fixed and spend more money then the thing is, is there anything else I can try. I lost all hope of saving anything on the computer and I'm fine if I have to format & reinstall, but I can't do same - nothing seems to work and I am extremely frustrated. I have a good knowledge of computers, so I'm happy to try anything other then throw out the window - hahaha

Hello ShannonD42,

Generally the computer manufacturers will provide a recovery CD or recovery partition so that you can restore the computer to its original default settings.  More details on how this works, however, must be obtained from Dell.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards

  • I am running windows vista and my solution Center tells me that my printer is not completely installed

    I re-installed the printer (photosmart all-in-one B209a) and I get a message every time I try to access the center of solution that my printer is not completely installed. In addition, the HP does not appear in my program menu. Help!

    Hello Gordon,.

    I want to thank you for all your help. It has been very frustrating for me to not be able to solve this problem. However, with your help, I learned a little. As I mentioned previously, I am not savvy in computer science.

    The installation that I downloaded from the HP site seems to be useless. Fortunately, I found my installation CD and was able to successfully install it with the CD. I now have my rear HP Solution Center, and everything seems to work well. No message more that it has not been installed correctly or the pilot is missing.

    I did however, buy another printer. So I have now two printers. If I am given the penalty, I can use the other until I understand what could be the problem.

    Once again, thanks a lot.

  • Qosmio G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

    I get a message...
    Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
    Memory PCI controller... failed

    Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

    Hi spudcam,

    This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

    Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

    AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
    Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)

  • "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    missing volume control

    volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

    "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Browsing from a level in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Hi all

    Can I confirm with expert from Microsoft, it's windows foundation server 2012 may not be the first domain controller (which means that the first AD in the forest)? It must be attached to the root of the forest as a domain controller. If I'm promoting it to be first DC in new forest, he invites you to "the server has not completed the compliance audit of the licenses. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliant check cannot be completed, the server will automatically close in 9 days...
