Not updated Windows Vista gets stuck
I've seen several threads on these, but they do not seem to help.
I have Vaio laptop with Vista operating system threads. It used to work well until last year. However, lately when I try to start the computer, it did update Windows and gets stuck on update 3. I tried all the options in advanced mode by clicking on F8 key-start in safe mode, starting with the command line, start in recovery mode, etc. and they all end with the same question. I don't have a backup boot drive. I need to recover important data on the computer and need to start the machine atleast once. Still, I don't want to disassemble the drive hard, etc..
Can you please help.
Thank you

Question from windows vista - get stuck on the Welcome screen.
I recently had my computer startup problems - it gets stuck on the home page, even if I restart it continues. If I'm doing a ctrl + alt + delete, and then it displays the desktop. I have no updates that must be accomplished. you have an idea why this is stuck? Thank you!
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
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 startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

Windows Update does not update Windows Vista platform.
I recently tried to update my Windows Live Messenger and I get a message that I need this new platform update. The site for the update page told me just to run Windows Update and install it. However, after that Windows Update returns with no such update for my system. What can I do about it? I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. Please instruct me on how to get this update. I do not wish for the answers that tell me simply run the update client, which does not work for some reason any. My update client is also perfectly up-to-date. Any help is appreciated.
The "platform update" required by Windows Live Messenger is not Windows Live application update security. It can be installed manually. The experts in the Windows Live forums will be able to help you to do (especially if you try to install Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 beta).
In other words, it is a question of Windows Live Essentials, not an update of Windows (although Windows Update may offer updates to Windows Live Essentials).
See this discussion: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/6191a129-e5ff-4cbe-b4dd-3d61d4764d2d/

Its been a while now that I can't download and update my Windows Vista Home Premium(64-bit), every time I click on install updates, it starts to download the updates, and when its done and the error occurs, code error: 800 B 001, "Windows has encountered an unknown error" and when when I try again... Error code: 80240016, "Windows update currently installed other updates. Please try again later in a few minutes. »
I downloaded the update Windows Vista SP2 site Web Microsofts (Yes, im still in SP1), thinking it could slove the question, I can not install, when I clicked to install it, it says: "the form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust provider."My Vista is genuine and activated, came with my laptop HP HDX16 1050EE.
This issue has been hard for awhile and its a little boring.
Thanks in advance.Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:
1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).
4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.
NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!
5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN
TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.
7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".
8 test cycle.
NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.
