  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

  When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

  The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  and if you need to reinstall vista, here are the different ways to do it:

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Windows Vista computer Internet

  I have a windows vista computer, about 7 years or more. The internet worked fine, then I restored my computer to factory. I can't connect to the internet more, I think I need to update my computer but I can't do with Internet. I tried to manually update the internet card by my laptop window 10 but I can't do it yet. I also have a map of the internet 2.0 Wireless usb. that no longer works. Sometimes with connections wireless and when I type the password in the unable to connect to this network said. so I uninstalled this card. and when I try to use a cable to connect, it connects but no internet access there. any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Open Device Manager and look at the network cards.  What cards are present and they have their drivers, or they are in the wrong with a yellow! the brand?  If no network adapters are present, it may be listed as an unknown device without driver or a network controller.   Device - Manager find unknown devices

  On the other PC, see the page Web of Support downloads for the PC model to download the network card on a flash key you are using (Ethernet or wireless).  Transferer transfer on the Vista PC, install the adapter and see if you can get online.  If there is more of a network LAN driver is draw in Device Manager, the machine using material identification or download them all and try to install one at a time.

  Do the same for all the other pilots missing in Device Manager.

  Once online, speed up Windows updates in order to conform to the date that they ceased to support Vista.

• just formatted my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer

  OK, so I just format my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer, worked and connected very well before, but now nothing appears. Anything to help. Thank you

  OT:

  Please help with this

  Try this: go to "Start" then go to "Computer" right click on computer and left-click 'manage '.

  This will bring you to the management of the computer. From there, you should see the drive. Try "initialize disk".

  If you are not the "backup operator" or the "Administrator", then go to the control panel - system tools

  -Administrative Tools, then click on "disk management". From there, you can follow these instructions.

  Initialize new disks

  Backup operator or administrator is the minimum number of members required.

  To initialize new disks

  1. In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk.

  2. In the dialog box initialize the disk , select the disk to initialize. You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  	Note
  	The disk is initialized as a basic disk.

  Additional considerations

  • New disks appear as uninitialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. If you start disk management after the addition of a disk, the disk initialization Wizard appears then you can initialize the disk.

• Windows Vista constant freeze, crash and random reboot

  My Windows Vista computer is constantly freezing crashing (with blue screen) and sometimes restart automatically (and it's not because of Windows updates).

  I've had the computer for about a year and a half and it has been very good. Recently it started to happen. One thing I found out that there some registry errors and I tried to fix this, but the computer not work long enough.
  If someone could help me that would be great!

  Hello

  The issue could be caused or worsened by all these antivirus programs.

  You shouldn't have 2, still minus 3, antivirus programs on the computer
  at the same time even if they are not all running. They will be still responsible for pieces of
  themselves which can cause strange problems actually lower and your
  security that they will not interfere with each other.

  I uninstall McAfee and AVG and then run the withdrawal of their creator
  Tools to prevent the remains that can also cause strange problems.

  ------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

• Download error - cannot download anything on the windows vista computer.

  When I try to download anything, it says that Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe '. Then he said, make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. I hope you can help me.

  Original title: download error

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.

  The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

  1. what browser you use on the computer?

  2. What is the exact full error message?

  3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?

  If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.

  Method 1

  In internet explorer, you can change the default location.

  Here's how:

  a. open internet explorer.

  b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.

  c. downloads for window, click Options.

  d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.

  Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.

  Method 2

  Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
