• wireless multimedia keyboard Microsoft 1.1 on my desktop using Vista home premium and the keys are coming all wrong

  I have a multimedia keyboard 1.1 microsoft wireless on my desktop using Vista Home premium, and the keys are all coming up badly, when I type 'k' for example I get 'a' or if I type 'p' I get 'v' and give me space '9' someone can tell me how to solve this problem?

  Hi Winchesterdream,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers community site.

  I suggest you try the following steps

  Step 1: Connect the keyboard to a different computer. If the keyboard works correctly on another computer, the port to which the keyboard was connected on the original computer may be damaged. If this is the case, contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to repair or replace the damaged port.

  Step 2: Download and install the latest keyboard software

  To download the latest drivers for the keyboard that you use, see the following Microsoft hardware Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK

  Step 3: Press the SHIFT key to turn five times keys Stick On or Off and check if the problem persists.

  Let me know if it works. Good luck!

  Hope it will be useful.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment

  Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly.  It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again.  It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really.  Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)

  Hi islgrl10,

  Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.

  To check for errors on a partition,

  1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
  2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
  3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.

• I use Vista Home Premium on a laptop Dell 1545 Inspiron and Dell 968AIO wireless printer. I can't print the attachments of email but I can print several pages on the internet.

  I use Vista Home Premium on a laptop Dell 1545 Inspiron and Dell 968AIO wireless printer. I can't print the attachments of email but I can print several pages on the internet. I updated drivers and tried everything that other people have told me to try on other forums to the best of my abilities. I'm not otherwise qualified in computer science. Also, I will mention this all started when I restored my computer laptop back to factory settings. I did it because that's all I could think about. As far as coming back on my laptop, he did do the trick. Thus, suggestions, thoughts will be appreciated.

• Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc

  Hello

  I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP.  Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem).  So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.

  I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.

  My question is:

  If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.

  Thanks for your help

  Evereti

  Hi Evereti,

  You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

• Mount a floppy using Vista Home Premium via a usb connection.

  I have upgraded from Win 95 to Vista Home Premium and I have a lot of players that have been compressed using Win 95, which I can't access like the Vista must be mounted. They can be mounted on the old system because it will not start. Is it possible that they can be mounted or accessible via Vista? Thank you very much.

  Buy a USB floppy drive. If you will be able to decompress, I can't say. It depends on what you mean by "compressed". MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Strange problem with Vista Home premium configuration update

  Just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AI which was preloaded with Vista Home Premium.

  Clicked on configure updates on the front screen and he entered a loop that says: Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  Every 5 minutes or so then stops and restarts with the same message. I left on for 8 hours, so can not believe he needs for this long. Just tried to set off, but when you restart it defaults as shown above.

  Please advise... even if you can get me right back to the normal screen before

  Hello

  Try please start your computer in safe mode and restore your operating system to an earlier time (before the update). Maybe this will help.

  In the future be careful with updates. I recommend you to disable the automatic update. Just check the list with updated supply and install important and recommended only. Disable all optional updates. You don't need them.

• Cannot restore file bkf NAS to Vista Home Premium disk XP

  I have a HP Pavilion a6220n PC desk top running Vista Edition Windows Home Premium.  Exploitation is corrupt is a couple of weeks, and I haven't had a recent backup of the C drive.  (I know...)  In any case, I could take the Vista machine's hard drive and connect it as a second hard drive on my XP machine.  Then, I was able to make a file bkf HD Vista on my 1 TB MyBookLive NAS drive.  Then I put the HD Vista on the Vista PC.  And I was able to run the recovery partition recovery procedure.  Of course, he wiped the C drive but Vista works again like factory.

  So now, I need to restore the file the MyBookLive drive on the Vista machine bkf.  I thought it would be easy.  I discovered that the restoration of Vista does not recognize the bkf file types.  But the Vista restore utility had a link explaining that I could download a backup NT and restore and it would be able to restore a bkf file type in a Vista machine.  So I downloaded the NT utility.  But when I ran, the NT utility doesn't seem to be able to find the MyBookLive disk.  It does not seem to have all the options restore from a network drive.

  So my next bright idea was to buy a Toshiba 1 TB USB HD.  I figured I'd just copy the NAS MyBookLive to the Toshiba HD bkf.  I tried on the XP machine, and I got an error that says I don't have enough disk space.  I guess this means that the C XP disk doesn't have enough free space, because the MyBookLive and Toshiba HD have enough free space.  Moreover, the bkf file is LARGE (355GB).

  OK, so I decide to use the Vista machine to copy the bkf file.  I can map to the NAS MyBookLive and see the bkf file.  And the Toshiba HD is automatically recognized by Vista.  The C-drive Vista has 327 GB free.  And again, I got the same error - not enough disk space.

  I started to compress the bkf file in a file of rar on MyBookLive, using the XP utility.  Original estimate was 66 hours remaining.  I decided to give up this idea because I don't know if it will even work and wouldn't wait for 66 hours to find out.  My hope was that if the compressed file was smaller, so I could copy the compressed on the Toshiba HD.

  So here I sit with a disk network MyBookLive bkf file.  And I need to restore this information on the Vista machine.  If anyone knows how to restore directly from the network drive MyBookLive to the Vista, which would be preferable.  Next ideal if anyone knows how to copy a file, bkf 355GB since the network MyBookLive on the Toshiba USB HD drive, then I might be able to restore from the Toshiba USB HD on the Vista machine.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  GEEK SQUAD came to the rescue. Agent Hugo Westminster, CO Best Buy suggested I get the error "insufficient disk space" because USB Toshiba HARD drive is formatted in "FAT32" format of file at the factory.  He recommended fitness to "NTFS".  I did and was able to copy the large bkf file (it took about 12 hours).

  I have now connected USB Toshiba HARD drive into the Vista machine.  And "NT Backup and Restore" was able to recognize it.  It is now trying to restore the backup of the files on the desktop to Vista PC.  I'll know in a few hours if the restore was successful.

  The restore operation did turn out to be successful.
