• Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

  Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

  Follow the info below to try a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.
  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in poster format.

  After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in format post little matter what I tell the printer to do.  I use a laptop Acer Aspire 9410, 32-bit, Windows Vista, IE 8.  Commands from another computer on the printer work properly.  Should I uninstall SP 2 & reinstall?  Or what is the best fix for the problem?  Thank you.

  shagen18,
  You need to uninstall the printer and make sure you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer of the printer and then reinstall the pritner.

  Hi Colonel biggs,

  Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

  This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

  · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

  To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

  Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

  Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

  If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

  Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

  System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start

  2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

  The operating system is displayed as follows:

  · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

  Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

  1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
  2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
  1. 1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
     2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
  2. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

  1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

• Can't windows after installing SP2 for Vista

• Is it still useful to install SP2 for Vista on 64-bit system? What are the benefits?

  OK, so I have Windows Vista Premium Home Edition on a laptop HP with Service Pack 1 installed. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows functionality, because there are so many unnecessary and space-hogging updates that I can't be bothered. I've never had a problem with the system or security issues (I use Avast Antivirus among other tools/software as needed) and I've had this phone for almost 2 years now. In the past, whenever I installed a major update, it will eventually create problems that were not there before the update so I'm really hesitant to install SP2. ONLY that I even consider it is because I have problems with Windows Movie Maker and tried to install Windows Live Movie Maker, but it won't let me do that without having installed SP2. To install SP2, I have install all the boring updates I have never installed SP1. so, all this makes me wonder if it's the same penalty to install SP2 in the first place? I can use other video editing software, if necessary, but if someone can tell me what SP2 has or does that SP1 is not, and all the benefits of the installation, I would be better able to make a decision. Any advice? Info?

  Thank you!

  If your happy with SP1 and your AV software with the new version of each exercise supports still SP1 then follow it. Just be aware that Microsoft (and I'm not a Microsoft employee) will give you no support after the data that I posted.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Have you tried to temporarily disable the real-time protection of your applications, anti-virus and anti-spyware (for example, CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before installing the updates.

• Re: Satellite A300-1 b 9 - cannot install updates for Vista and IE8

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 1 9 b I bought 9 months ago. It has Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1. I have serious problems with the updates:

  1 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86 - I can't install this for the last two months. Whenever it appears that the installation has failed.

  2 security Update for Windows Vista (KB961501) can be installed as well

  3. my Internet Explorer 8 does not work for the past two weeks. I tried to download it and when I did, then, my computer does not restart. I had to use sans-echec Mode, uninstall IE8 to return to Normal Mode

  4. I also tried to download and install SP2 for Vista, but it failed.

  I am very worried. Please suggest me what I should do.

  Thanks for your help.
  Stéphane

  I think that the decision of the antivirus program is a personal opinion

  I put t like McAfee and Norton because they need a lot of system resources and do a slower computer.
  I prefer AntiVir and Kaspersky Security suite. The two programs have good scan engine and don t need a lot of system resources. They are easy to use to use it.
  AntiVir is free but it s just an antivirus. Kaspersky Security suite also contains a firewall, antispam filter and more.

  It s your choice what program you are using. ;)

• Problems installing sp2 on Vista...

  I can't install SP2 for Vista. I installed SP1 and I tried to install sp2 via windows update in which the update actually installed, but after the reboot, I get a message saying that the update could not be configured correctly and changes reverted.

  I also tried to install it manually, but I get an error message saying "C:\Windows\system32\sqmapi.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program with the help of the orignal installation media or contact your system administrator or support software provider."

  I also tried a system allows to browse the command line to check all of the corrupted files, but generally the process was not successful... ! Any help would be appreciated!

  Hi MichaelPlaster,

  Given that you are always faced with the question, I suggest doing an InPlace Upgrade\Repair installation using the full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to install the stand-alone SP1 package.

  Note perform a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.

  To perform an upgrade in-place, follow these steps.
  a. close all running applications.

  b. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

  c. in the settings window, click install now.

  Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

  d. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.

  Note the placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

  e. list programs, click Setup.exe.

  f. in the settings window, click install now.

  g. click go online to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

  h. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

  i. Select the operating system on the page "Windows Installer" you want to increase the power or Inplace.

  j. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

  k. on the type of installation do you want? screen, click upgrade.

  l. Once installation is complete, restart your computer.

  For more information, please see the link:

  How to perform an upgrade on the spot on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the upgrade has completed, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.

  For more information about how to activate Windows Vista, see the following article:

  I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!  Matt

  Matt,

  The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
  Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
  Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

  Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

  Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

  If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

  Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
  Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
  Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

  Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
  After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

  If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-
