• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Used to install Vista SP2. error code 800705b 3 error_requires_interactive_windowstation

  I now tried installing Vista sp2 several times and get the above error message.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1.

  I use Google Chrome as a browser and Kaspersky Internet security as a security suite.

  I have a Dell Dimension desktop computer about 6 years now with 1 GB of Ram & AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor5000 + 2.6 GHz.

  Although I am British my windows operating system is in German.

  I tried a lot of different options suggested on google and Microsoft.

  I tried to install windows update, but that has not worked.

  I also downloaded the SP2 and system update readiness tool and tried to install again, which didn't work.

  I tried to install in safe mode. I did a clean boot and tried to install.

  I checked the registry for the vLight folder see if that was causing the problem, but there was no record vLight.

  I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit 50202 but still cannot install.

  I hope someone can help. All tips are welcome.

  Do you think we (or rather you) will be able to decipher this problem or are - it probably that I have to reinstall Vista and SP1, and then try again to install SP2...

  My #1 concern is the fact that your computer has been & still lacks so many updates of security reviews.

  • Support for Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Computers still running Vista SP1 "will no longer updates [i.e., updates published after July 12, 2011 so you're now nearly three 3 years behind on security updates critical!]. from Windows Update"until SP2 has been installed (this will require several prerequisite updates be installed first).

  Even if we managed to get SP2 installed, there's a very good chance that one or several updates released since July 12, 2011 will not be able to install.

  Then there's the fact that your computer - and the data on it - has been at risk for so long.

  Therefore, the only way you can ever trust the computer sescurity again would be of formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean installation of Windows (Vista or Win7).

  See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If you need additional help with the clean install of Vista, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a "BigBoxStore") computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

• interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

  Hello
  Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
  The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
  Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
  I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

  I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
  in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

  my internet actually works, but I don't know why
  I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
  but I do not know why :)
  I hope that my internet is still functional

  Thank you for your support

• I can't install Vista SP2.

  original title: my PC crashed and I had to re - install Windows Vista but now I can not install Vista SP2.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find, how to install SP2 for Vista?

  As I said, I did research any possible suggestion, including stop my anti-virus program, but still not get SP2 to install for Windows Vista.

  Note: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. have you (has) uninstall the pre-installed Norton free version to test AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton removal tool [1] & restart (c) BEFORE you installed AVG Free or any other antivirus application (not to mention SP2)?

  2. when (date about) you have to install Microsoft Security Essentials (I guess) and the computer was fully patched to Windows Update at the time?

  2B. was Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

  3 MSE is auto-update itself about once every 24 hours or it is installed?

  4 can update you MSE manually via the button of UPDATE on the MSE UPDATE tab?

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

• Wireless Vista SP2 issues

  First, I installed SP2 for Vista x 64 may 27 by a wired LAN connection. This night there I couldn't connect wirelessly to the internet at the hotel. Checked for problems with the ISP and none have been detected. The next day I uninstalled SP2 and the problem disappeared. Today, I went through the same process at home. Same result. After installation of SP2, my wireless modem will allow me to connect, but after I relock my system I lose my connection. I even spoke of "technical support" in India today and got no help at all. EVERYONE > THE WORLD?

  Hi Coul45,

  Are you able to connect to Internet after installing Vista SP2 but the wireless connection is lost after the computer is locked, you can follow the steps below and check if that helps.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Internet problems after installing vista SP2

  I'm running IE8 and yesterday I installed Vista Service Pack 2.  After the installation, I got an internet connection, but could not access all pages including my home page.  The pages would hang and the little blue circle would go round and round and nothing happened.  I also have Firefox downloaded on my computer, and still the same thing happens again.

  I checked my system tools in the lower right of the desktop and my icon for connectivity internet local and internet had a red cross on it that has not changed.  I restarted my computer several times and nothing has changed.  I used the prompt commands and ping google (my homepage) and found within seconds, so the connection was there but not able to access all pages.

  I am running Vista Home Premium as my 32-bit operating system.

  To cure the problem so far, I did system restore and completely got rid of the installation.  As soon as I did, my internet was totally fine with IE8 and Firefox.

  Any suggestions, I won't install SP2 again until I know what has caused the problem of the internet, and he was healed.

  Hi Smokeycat,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.
   
  Since you have already restored the computer and the internet works fine, try to reinstall the stand-alone version of Service pack 2. Later, try to connect to the Internet.
   
  You have security software installed on the computer? If so, try disabling the security software and install the stand-alone version of service pack 2.
   
  Try to install the stand-alone package for Windows Vista Service pack 2, access the link below and download the file to the desktop. Later, run the installation of Service pack 2 from the office.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en
   
  If the problem persists after you have installed the stand alone package, reply came back with the details:

  1. try to boot into safe mode with network after installation of Service pack 2 and try to access Internet
  2. in normal mode, try to right click on the network icon in the taskbar and click on diagnose and repair, if it gives any error make a note of it and we gives the error.
  3 - is wireless to a wired connection?
  4. do you have any router installed?
   
  I hope this helps.
