Missing Microsoft - Windows Vista 64-bit games

No longer any games listed in the Games folder, even if they WERE there at the same time and even if they are listed and checked in turn Windows features On and Off the control panel.  How can I reload them?  Where did they go?

I think I know what happened.  It seems that the Fix - It Utilities 11 program may have messed up some components of windows, including the games.  I found all the shortcuts in game in the trash at the same time I installed the Fix - It program with a bunch of other files.  I restored all the game related shortcuts and tried the Turn WIndows features we and Off again (somewhere on the way with my difficult things they apparently turned off) and all the games that are marketed with success (even though it took quite a while).  So I seem to be back in business.  But I uninstalled Fix - It Utilities and don't use it yet!  (I saw a LOT of bad reviews for the program on CNET.)

    1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

    2 are. what file download you referring?

    3. have you deleted the file using option DEL or SHIFT DEL?

    Method:

    If you have downloaded the file with success and deleted, I suggest you to check if the files are in the trash and check if it helps.

    If you are not able to find the files in the Recycle Bin, you can use all of the third party tools and check if you can recover the files.

  • Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit. How to re-install Windows Installer?

    Windows Installer service is missing from my Vista 32 bit SP2. How can I re - install Windows Installer? None of the 27 sets of update and Installer Cleanup solutions worked, a last resort option could work but it will not install without the Windows Installer Service.

    I tried each FixIt option, says the problem is solved, but isn't.
    I tried install Windows Installer 4.5, but it came back as not relevant to my system (because there is no previous installer to update).
    Tried a number of recommended patches, but they are all geared toward fixing the problems of Windows Update not a lack of Windows Installer.
    MicrosoftFixit50202.msi seems to have corrected Windows Update on my laptop but it won't install on Vista pc because there is no Windows Installer.
    I ran the installation disc the option 'fix' with the original, it finished but has not replaced Installer and nothing was fixed.

    How can I put the installer of Windows on my computer?  If there are files on the original drive that can be put into drive C what are they?
    Someone suggested to uninstall Service Pack 2, and then reinstall, but if I have no installer of Windows that may not work. Others said they reformatted to correct same question, but it did not work.

    These previous solutions have not helped:
    Could not locate the installer of Windows on Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Difficulty the installer of windows vista sp2
    code641/MSI
    Failed installation error msg error 80070641 Windows update

    After a month of butting heads with the refusal of Microsoft to actually help except to sell us all a new copy of Vista or Win7 at the normal price I solved the problem myself.

    1. I made a list of all my software purchased, including required registration keys, etc. and site URL for those who I don't have a disk for.
    2. Deleted registry back up on my external hard disk, reloading apparently one makes the backed up registry problems breed more.
    3. Inserted my drive from Dell to factory since 2007 and restarted. Press a key to boot from the CD. Chose "reformat hard drive' first, then when prompted hit"Reinstall"(slightly different wording on your computer).
    4. After you have reinstalled the factory disc 32-bit Vista, I spent hours 7 next installation of SP1, SP2 and hundreds of updates. Note that several times Windows Update said some updates to date has failed, but finally everything installed correctly by repeating the sequence of installation/reboot to update. There have been a few files that reported to turn off computer completely, I've shown... clicked with indicator shutdown (stop), let it do its thing until it turned off the computer and then the computer restarted manually later. After a total of 8 hours and 14 minutes as my Vista has been fully loaded, updated the installer is still intact, everything works very well and did not cost a penny.

    It has been 2 days since the reformatting/reinstall. I reinstalled all my additional software without problem. System Mechanic is back in service without any prejudice to my installation Service. Seems that something is involved with .NET Framework 4 triggered a defense mechanism that caused the installer should be deleted, solved the problem of the .NET Framework from Microsoft, but it can be installed by the installer being removed to protect our computers. The question was not just with Dell computers, it is Dell support is just as incompetent that Microsoft support batch so more Dell owners were here to complain.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FYI: my mobile Samsung with Win7, the correction was easier because my installation Service has not been removed:

    1. Uninstalled all the software using .net Framework 4 (only 2)
    2. Uninstalled all .net Framework 4 bodies found on my list of programs (Client Profile and Essentials)
    3. A ran my System Mechanic to remove debris aka too much clutter and correct registry problems
    4. Laptop rebooted then ran Windows Update. All the updates installed with 3 requiring the judgment to install. .NET framework reinstalled with updates.
    5. Reinstalled my 2 pieces of software that use .NET Framework.

    It has been 4 days without any problem at all. So, in my case, it's .NET Framework 4 that created and continued the problem, even if the specific audit FixIt kept saying all .NET Frameworks have been installed correctly.

  • I use Windows Vista 64 bit or 32 bit for the games?

    I want to use a configuration set.  Should I go with Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.  I heard that the 32 bit is more compatible with most of the games.  However, some say that 64-bit will give you a better gaming experience. Is this true?

    Mike

    Hello Mike,.

    You will have a better gaming experience with 64-bit is dependent on whether the game has a 64-bit exe and some do.  The max ram limit increased the 64-bit version is also available.  I played all my games on the version 64 no problem what so ever.  Some of the game seem better to work on 64-bit, but I don't have a real data hard to back this up.  I have a large collection of games that plays very well on Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit including Demon Stone, which is very old (Win 2000 / XP) all this without having to use compatibility mode.  So, you should be fine with the 64-bit since manufacturers of video cards offer very good 64-bit drivers. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • Default Microsoft on Vista Business SP1 games

    I have the Visa Business SP1 software on my laptop.
    In my view, that the games feature is not enabled by default. I tried to put using start-> Control Panel-> programs-> Turn Windows features On or Off...

    I tried several times but each time I get an error "an error has occurred. Not all features are enabled. "leading finally no intalltion games.

    Can someone tell me please how install/activate the default games provided with Vista.

    Hi techdancer,

    Generally, this type of program should be set by step you did.
    I suggest you to run a check of system files on the computer.
    Please follow the steps below to the auditor of the filesystem as the first steps:
    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    2. in the area of results, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click on continue. Then click on continue.
    3. at the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
    Note: The scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.

    Also check the availability of games to the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games

    Let us know if cela heps.

  • WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT UPDATES

    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET UPDATES FOR WINDOWS VISTA 32 BIT?   I AM NOT GETTING THE ERROR CODES, JUST CONTINUES ON THE LEFT SEARCH BAR RIGHT AND DOES NOTHING. NOTHING IS FOUND TO DOWNLOAD. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

    Hi BluesBlaster:

    If your initial "check for updates..." Windows Update crashes during long periods without raising an error, this is a widespread problem currently affecting many users of Vista SP2.

    Some users find that "check for updates..." will be finally run full if you let run for several hours, but there is also a workaround solution posted on the page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ that accelerates the Windows Update for the affected users. Of workaround requires users to pre-install the kernel-mode Windows updates (Win32K.sys) driver listed on this Web page, if one is missing from your system before running Windows Update.  I used Dalai for the latest Patch workaround three Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) and has reduced my search for 'check for updates...' updates available for 6 or 7 hours up to approx. 25 min.

    Step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates does not, it was the search for updates to the hours are based on workaround of Dalai and will guide you through the installation process of packages update stand-alone (.msu files) for your updates Win32K.sys missing.

    As of today (11-Sep-2016) the current list of updates Win32K.sys on the page Web of Dalai is: KB3078601 (rel. 18 August 2015); KB3109094 (rel. 7 December 2015); KB3145739 (rel. 12 April 2016); KB3164033 (rel. June 14, 2016); KB3168965 (rel. July 12, 2016); KB3177725 (rel. 9 August 2016). Just install the updates that are not in your system, so if you have been fully patched at the end of July 2016 you must have to install manually the last KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016) before you run Windows Update to install your remaining August 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.  List of Dalai will probably be revised tonight next Tuesday when the September 2016 Patch Tuesday updates (and a new version of Win32K.sys) are released on 13-Sep-2016, then you might want to wait a few days to try this workaround.

    Dalai has posted general information at http://wu.krelay.de/en/info.htm which explains why the Windows Update Agent (WUA) is currently suspended during the "checking for updates..." Windows Update.  The current v7.6.7600.256 Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll WUA has not been updated by Microsoft since June 2012.

  • System Recovery Options - no operating system listed, need to load the drivers, but don't know where to find this (Windows Vista 64-bit)

    It is a gateway M6866 laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit.

    The computer does not start up--gives "BOOTMRG is missing" error at startup.  I'm trying to boot from the 64-bit of Windows Vista recovery disc.  I clicked on the "repair your computer" option, and it shows the computer loading files.  Then the "System Recovery Options" box appears and asks me to select the operating system to fix it.  The problem is that nothing has listed.  It is said that if your OS is not listed click Load Drivers.  I did, but it is said to insert the device installation media, and then click OK to select the driver.  I clicked on OK and then opens a browser window to select the file.

    I don't know which file I'm supposed to select here.  I searched online for an answer, and someone told him to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the driver for RAID controller.  I tried to go to the site of the bridge to find it, but it doesn't seem to be one for Vista 64-bit.

    Please please help!  I have to at least be able to extract the files to the hard drive before reinstalling windows.

    Hello

    ·        Have you Configure RAID on the system?

    If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.

    Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.

    b. then restart your computer.

    c. press a key when you are prompted.

    d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext

    e. click on repair your computer

    f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next

    g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt

    h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.

    ·        If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.

    ·        If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    i. restart the computer.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    This can also occur if an incorrect device driver has been installed for the DVD-ROM device.

    I suggest that you visit the DVD drive manufacturer site download the latest drivers for the drive and install on the computer and if it works. Make sure you download the Windows vista 64-bit driver.

    Hello
    How can I get my printer Brother mfc 4800 to print using Windows Vista 64-bit.  The printer is connected by usb cable and the machine is recognized by the computer.  It appears in Control Panel > printer folder.  When I choose printer and each attempt a test page or print a document the printer "ramps" upward as it wants to print but nothing prints ever.  This printer is connected to a computer, that I just replaced that had XP as an operating system.   Printer drivers claim to be "integrated" in Vista. I call brother and they say he works at their end, there is something missing on the microsoft side.  If you the new driver or support can you pls send.

    I hope someone can help. Thank you.

    Above is the link for your model printer MFC 4800 drivers.

    If you click on drivers in STEP 1, then STEP 2, check for the operating system, you will see that Vista is not an option, and so the Vista drivers were never written for this model of printer by brother.

    They rely on drivers XP to do the work for them.

    Brother is the one who wrote the drivers for its hardware, not Microsoft.

    I suggest that revisit you brother and ask them when they wrote the so-called Vista compatible drivers for Microsoft.
