• Problem reinstalling Vista.

  I have a Dell laptop, Studio, which is about a year and a half.  I have always used free antivirus programs when I can, until I got this system; It came with a free 15 month subscription for Mcafee AV, so I left, thinking that I could always just uninstall it later if/when I had to.  The subscription has expired 4/30, and I didn't buy a renewal, so I decided to uninstall and get Avast.  I go to the start menu, in the Mcafee folder, there is no link uninstaller here.  I go to the Control Panel, programs, remove programs... There are a few things McAfee listed, but not for the main program.  I then do some research and find that it is not an uninstall program provided with the Mcafee software, I have to download it from their Web site, what I'm doing.

  Problem is the uninstall program apparently screwed up a bunch of other things when he got rid of Mcafee.  Random icons are missing and show the generic "windows don't know what this file is" random icon programs do not work, the computer is massively slow and it takes like 6 or 7 minutes to start.  I try to use system restore to revert back to right before uninstalling Mcafee, he is not good at all - every single problem I had before is still happening.

  At this point, all I know to do is reinstall windows.  I don't want to make the option it restore as long as the plant, that I don't want to uninstall Mcafee again, so I use the OS disc that came with the system.  When I try to run it, it-error in section files in expansion, saying that it cannot find the necessary files.  I don't stop there, though - I don't remember any of this, please forgive me if this might be a bit out of order. I try to start on the DVD, not a business. try to run the DVD in windows, not a deal; Try the option which is supposed to repair windows (don't remember what it's called, sorry), not a deal. Try the recovery partition, or anyone else that works, not a deal - get an error message which is just a box with a red x and a 'mistake' in the upper part with an OK button on that one.  Run Chkdsk, no errors...  In addition, at some point, this error code has come: "Windows cannot copy the files to E:/sources to C:/windows.~ls/sources. The files may be damaged or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0 x 80070017.  I'm sorry I can't tell you what steps he took, but I think it's the DVD of the OS when I booted directly to that.

  As I typed this, I tried to get the system restore go as far in as possible time, but it's exactly the same as before, only now he has Mcafee again.  I did some research about this error code and the general consensus seems to be that it was a problem with a DVD SATA drive conflict any... most of the people solved the problem by using their different DVD player - problem is, I don't have another DVD player, unless I put the disc in my office and run it somehow on my laptop.

  I apologize for my length, I am so frustrated with this thing.  I want only to run smoothly and not have funky small icons scattered around and I've been playing with it for 2 days and it did not help one iota.  I'll stop whining now and here are some details:

  Series of Dell Studio 1536-144 p, AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual - Core Mobile RM-74 (no idea what that means, it's on the label that the computer was in--Yes, I recorded it), 4 GB memory, 320 GB of HDD, Slot - loading DVD +/-RW, wireless 802. 11 b / g mini integrated graphics ATI Radeon HD 3200, Vista Home Premium 64-bit and it was Mcafee Security Center, which caused all the trouble.

  Is there anyone out there who (lasted through this rant and) can help me, please?

  ETA: I forgot to say that I kept windows updated religiously.

• Problems reinstalling Vista Home Edition.

  This is the first time I've posted in these forums so feel free to tell me if I'm missing out on useful information.

  I have a laptop (bought in 2008), which was originally windows vista Home premium installed on it. It worked very well even if I couldn't install service pack 1. I never thought that a lot of it because it has not affected my laptop.

  Recently, there was a special offers students Windows 7 for $ 5 by downloading online. I tried this but it says that I couldn't install it because I had no SP1 for vista installed. I contacted a technician microsoft e-mail and did everything she told me. Finally, she concluded that I had thousands of errors that could not be fixed manually. She suggested buying a windows vista recovery disk. I paid on the one hand, tried to reinstall vista on my laptop (which is VERY time consuming) and get a message saying something along the lines of "windows could not complete the installation, restart the installation '." I tried this THREE times. I made sure to save all of my information beforehand, but now I was not able to reinstall vista with success, that I have no way to restore, so in a sense, I lost all my information. I'm a uni student so very worried.

  Help, please.

  «I've been advised by a microsoft technician to just buy a recovery disk.»

  A MS Tech should have said you contact the computer manufacturer to buy a.

  There is a DVD of Installation of Vista and a Disk(Neosmart,) of recovery of startup repair and recovery disc you get from the manufacturer to put your computer to the factory settings (how you bought).

  Microsoft sells not recovery discs, they sell diskettes for Installation of Vista.

  Computer manufacturers selling recovery discs.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If you have a recovery disk computer manufacturer, boot from it and follow their instructions:

  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

  If you have problems using it, contact the manufacturer of the computer.
  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Hello

  You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

  You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

  As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

  If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

  Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

  Hello

  You don't say how you try to reinstall the operating system.

  It's the opinion of their website on relocation:

  I'll be able to use my drive HARD after Active @ KillDisk erase operation?

  In order to use the HDD again you must:

  • repartition the HARD drive using standard utility like FDISK
  • reformat the hard disk using the standard utility like FORMAT
  • Reinstall the operating system using bootable CD-ROM or USB / floppy

• How to install PES 10 and end upward with the 64-bit version?

  I just installed 10 PSE on my Win 7 64 bit system.  Reading these forums, I understand that the disc 2 of the 3 disc set contains the 64-bit version.  But aid installation referenced (and the disc itself labelling) clearly says 'start with disk 1' in both cases.  So I did this, expecting at some point to be invited to switch to disk 2.  But I've never been.  The default installation location is Program Files (x 86), I belatedly realize is the wrong file.  So I guess I have to uninstall and reinstall.

  But what is the right way to get the 64 bit version?  Manually change the installation Program Files x 86 w/o location?  Launch disk 2 anyway, despite what says Adobe?  I haven't yet started 10 PSE... is better to uninstall it now, or start 10 PSE and ensure that the new catalogue etc gets put in place?

  (I have a similar ad more in the forum download and installation, but find that I get a lot more quick answers here.)

  PSE10 is not a 64 bit application, only PE10 (Premiere Elements), I think. If your installation is correct. I'm sure that you will get more specific answers by more knowledgeable people...

• When I try to reinstall vista family premium, to create more than one partition is greyed out.

  I installed a new 500 GB HD in my notebook and want to partition into two equal parts, one for the OS and the other for stuff.  After formatting the only options available are to a single partition.

  Hi Jesse,.

  Are you booting from the disk and do the installation?

  If you are, then you will need to click on advanced options to get the options to make changes on the HARD disk.

  Now if you have a partition created aldready it give you an option to create a new partition.

  What you need to do is to delete the existing partition and THEN ONLY it will give you the opportunity to create a new partition of the size of your favorite.

  Aldready you could have a partition created and it has no more space available on the disk, the create partition option will greayed out.

  Hope that helps.

  PS Deleting the existing partition wil clear all data and installed programs. So please be sure that you have all important data backed up.

• reinstalling Vista... error message

  I had a drive failure drive if I had to replace my hard drive on my laptop.  (Dell Inspiron)  After a long search I found a full install of Windows XP pro version.  My original Setup is Vista.  After installation, I realized that I had no drivers and that it cannot go beyond a game on the computer.  After having looked further, I found my full Vista installation software but trying to reinstall Vista, I get the following message: the partition C system has insufficient free space.  Windows installation needs at least 457 MB of space on that partition to install Windows.  Sufficient free space, and then restart the installation.  Error code 0 X 80070070.  I did the bios thing, but it doesn't always start the software.  Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

• Problems with programs that seek to reinstall vista-fresh start

  Hi, I have big problems with vista next to some of my prgrams that worked in the past have stopped working together, I tried to uninstall and reinstal them. I tried to perform a system restore, and it does not work so I can't do a system restore. Ideally I am looking for reinstall fresh vista but the problem lies in the fact that I have no instalation disk, it has not been provided with my computer and now out of warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  The information below should help you:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• I REINSTALLED Windows XP and it ended upward on the E: drive instead of c drive?

  Original title: I REINSTALLED Windows XP and it ending upward on the E: drive - how I put on drive c?

  I had to completely reinstall Windows XP and I guess that I do not have good enough attention?  The Program files and the system is on drive E:! It starts up fine and the updates work! How can I move Windows XP back to the c drive without having to reinstall again? Is it possible to copy the C: Partition on an external hard drive (such as FreeAgentPRO)? Can copy E: drive in drive c? Then backup copy of the Original disc to the E: drive c? Is the an easier way to do this? I am somewhat familiar with the command prompt! I could probably do if I have a step by step process! I was able to use some RECOVERY on the Original CD of the OS and got some of my files back!

• Problems of slow performance in Vista when playing music with WMP 11

  Whenever I'm playing music on WMP 11, my computer slows down briefly.

  I assume this has something to do with my sound driver/card, but don't know what.

  I use my PC sound card. I use the Logitech Z-5 speakers.

  Please keep in mind that I have recently reinstalled Vista on this computer, and before replacing, I had no such problem. I currently use the same drivers I did then.

  I have Vist Home Premium, 32-bit.

  Hi EugeneGluskin

   

  1. the music files that you play on the same computer or on a remote site?

  2. do you have the updated drivers for the sound card?

  3. What is the brand and model of the computer with sound card?

   

  You can perform a clean boot and check if you are facing the same question to the clean boot. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

• How can I reinstall the Satellite L300/OVK with Vista 32 bits as being its 64 bit now

  Does anyone know how I can reinstall a L300/OVK NB with Windows Vista 32 bit.
  The problem is that it is 64 bit at the moment and I can't install software on it. I don't have a Windows installation CD.

  I contacted the store that I bought in and they said to press f12 or O when the computer is put in place.

  However, this does not work. Anyone know what I can do to install my software?

  Run the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. There should be an icon on the desktop or in the Start Menu.

  If she creates more than 2 DVD x, then you will have the option of 32-bit or 64-bit when run you recovery.

  To run the recovery from the HARD disk:

  When the laptop is OFF, press and hold the Zero key.
  Turn on the laptop
  Release the zero key when you see the Toshiba Logo.

• Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

  Hello world

  I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

  I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

  So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

  Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

  Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

  If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

  Thanks in advance!
