• After application of update Windows Vista SP2, FSX will not start

  FSX is not started after that I applied Windows VISTA Sp2. When the process is considered to be a task manager, FSX.exe seems to CPU to make loops. Are there not the method to solve something?

  Hi BuyIntel,

  Thanks for posting on the Forum of answers.

  I suggest to backup your saved games and reinstall the program.
  Something in the Service Pack may have corrupted some aspects of FSX, this should solve it.

  I suggest also to visit your video card manufacturers website to download the latest drivers and re-installation of the unit.

  I hope this helps.

• I have two Toshiba laptops, and both died after the installation of Windows Vista SP2

  I have two Toshiba laptops, and both died after the installation of the Windows Vista SP2 (home edition).
  Now, it does not... even not start BIOS... Try to boot from the CD, no luck. When WVista SP2 installed and restarted, after a while, he came to the flashing message: 0xC0190036 1183/62494...

  I can't help that if it does not start even. I don't have a CD WVista. Both laptop came pre-installed. In addition, no rescue CD.

  Any help will be appreciated. I really need help.
  Thank you.

  Well, try this:

  1. If the power is off.
  2. Start the laptop and keep press F8
  3. then select restore.

  And? :)

• Problems after installing updates in Windows 7

  After you install the updates that have been downloaded automatically, I was commissioned to do a reboot. Yes, I did. Now I have all the icons on my desktop, just the words. Even on Windows Explorer and my computer seems to run slower. I tried to restore to an earlier date (yesterday), but he said that he did not. I use a laptop HP9420US with windows 7 Ultimate and office 2007.
  Thank you for your help.

  Updated - I reinstalled Windows 7 for the 7th time. Just look at thise MS Updates.

  Arona,
  Thank you for your suggestions.
  I tried method 1 the first time I recognized that there was a problem. Nothing has changed.
  I just tried method 2 with the same result. I have now many files with IconCache.db.old and
  No new (rebuilt) IconCache.db.
  I don't have the operation of the start menu. I clicked and nothing happens. I can right click
  on it and see properties and open Windows Explorer. I have to use Ctrl Alt Del to
  to stop.
  I ran the program Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and it found nothing.
  Now my individual windows seem to be transparent at the edges.
  I really want to re - install Windows 7 for the 7th time. MS downloads
  He screwed up, and I'd like to return to a correct functioning.
  Updated - I can't find any file IconCache.db now. What now?
  Thank you for your help.

• Boot problems after installing Vista SP2 (KB948465)

  I installed SP2 via update.  During the update process there was a power failure.  After that (I don't remember if it's immediately after, or if a few days elapsed) I had problems with the startup.  Initially, seemed the Startup Repair to fix the problem, but not permanently, and the Startup Repair had to be used repeatedly just to start.

  After a few times of what is happening, Startup Repair did not turn, and the PC wouldn't start.  After about 5 attempts using the decision-making power, sometimes choose the Startup Repair, sometimes choose to load windows normally, he did start.
  I immediately did a system restore to return my PC before SP2 was installed.

  After the restoration of versions prior to SP2, Windows Update showed that the SP2 update failed.  It was on 9 November.  As I need my computer, I didn't reinstall SP2 until I had finished this work.

  As I thought that the problem is probably caused by the power outage, on 10 September, I reinstalled SP2.  Windows Update show no SP2 as an available update, then I downloaded and installed the standalone update.

  Between the 10th and today, 14, Windows Update has installed more than updated.

  Today, I was unable to start for the first time since the reinstall SP2 and Startup Repair has allowed me to open a session.
  I tried to uninstall SP2 via update.  The first part of it seemed to work, but when it came to reboot, the PC stopped at the end power to the bottom of the procedure.  I used the power switch to turn the PC back on.  After startup, the PC told me that deletion failed.

  Then I tried the system restore.  Unfortunately, the first available restore point was post - SP2 installation.  I restored it for the point that is as close as I could.  I tried to uninstall SP2 again through Windows Update.  This time, I receive a generic error message immediately (less than a second) - it does not attempt to go through the configuration - restart the procedure.

  I haven't restarted my PC since then.  Most updates have been downloaded automatically, and the PC tells me that a restart is required.  I'm a little worried that I will end up with a completely insensitive PC.

  I use an Acer Aspire X 3200 with Vista home premium pre-installed.  I don't have a Vista disc.

• Error 0x8007045D when you try to install Windows Vista SP2

  Hello

  Currently I have Windows Vista SP1 and want to upgrade to service pack 2. When I try to do the update of Windows, I get "error (0x8007045d) Error_IO_DEVICE. I also tried to install it in safe mode, I get the same error message. After having traveled a bit on the internet, I found that it is probably because my HDD is damaged... so I run the chkdsk program...

  The chkdsk program stops at 16%... Step 4 of 5... When 85785 files off 300000something files are done... and it does nothing more. It keep running like this all night, it goes no further.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to successfully install Windows Vista SP2?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK, I started the computer with the Windows CD and I ran chkdsk /f at a command prompt.

  Chkdsk /f found errors it corrects.

  I ran Chkdsk/r... .he got stuck after scanning 85763 files... near the place, he would always get stuck (85785 files)... so I guess it's the same file that crashes chkdsk.

  The good news: I still have a functioning computer.

  The bad news is that I ran the SP2 from windows update in new safe mode and it didn't work... I'm still stuck with my problem.

  I have an extra hard drive... that I ordered from Dell for my girlfriend's computer, his computer died before she could use the player, but it is larger, then the drive of your computer and it is brand new... the only downside is that the player has been implemented for the computer of my girlfriend (pilots and other things) and does not work in my computer. I guess I'll try to format that drive to make it work in my computer... it should fix this and then bad SP2 remedial power very well.

  I guess I have no choice.

  I suggest to remove avg (uninstall) then try sfc/scannow then chkdsk /f several times. a few times, they need more going to make things more

  Microsoft security essentials is a better a v for not update couseing problems.

  You can allways put avg in the back.

  not having is not enouph to free space for temporary files can couse problems too.

• My windows Vista (sp2) contains updates it refuses to install! Help, please.

  My windows Vista (sp2) contains updates it refuses to install!

  (1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows (KB2468871)
  (2) update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB2533523)
  and
  (3) update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB2617986) this update of Silverlight includes the fixes described in KBs 2604930 and 2617986.
  When I tried to get help via the MS support, I was told that my install Silverlight could be the problem and uninstall all previous versions and install a new one.
  The current version on my machine is 3. something or other (Google Chrome me briefly earlier, but I can't seem to tell me yet again!) He also pointed out that the current version is 5. something or other.  However, I don't know--according to the functionality of uninstall in Control Panel - my version was installed on 21/01/2010 - about 7 months after I got the satellite (a Toshiba). It occurs to me - as it has been ongoing for awhile I fought first to make this thing work and then ignore it (neither of which, it seems, I am able of!)-update Windows is trying to apply can be updated too!
  According to the update of Windows, all three of these updates have downloaded - but I am not sure where...   When I tried to uninstall the old version of Silverlight, Windows Uninstall (via Control Panel) tells me that I need the Silverlight installation disc to go ahead. I've never had one! What can I do? Why these upgrades do not work? It has been for months!  Help, please.

• Impossible to install Flash or Acrobat Reader, nothing happens, no errors on windows vista sp2

  I have two Dell laptops, one was my mother and the other is mine (Inspiron 15xx and 1750).  I deleted down two laptops using the restore factory images stored on computers.  I want that they fully working before I sell them or given the to a friend or relative.

  When I try to install Flash or Acrobat Reader, I first download and then run the installation program and then nothing happens, no screen of welcome, no please, wait or loading... dialog box, no error message, just absolutely nothing.

  I am a programmer with a degree in computer programming and I built my own computer, reinstalled, installed drivers, software and firmware, so I thought I should be able to solve this problem, but as the still I had no luck so far.

  I have:

  (1) installed all Windows updates

  (2) installed Windows Vista SP2

  (3) installed the updates of BIOS, drivers, software and firmware from Dell.

  (4) installed the last IE v7 to v9 present. (This fixes my problem to Skype "Sorry, we couldn't connect to Skype")

  (5) installed the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistribution.

  (6) searched on the internet for the solution and followed a few steps that I thought looked promising but no solution so far.

  (7) I checked the logs install but they are empty either, I can't find the directory, or there is no log file here.

  For me the main problem is that I don't get any information, i.e. None of the error messages or logs, which makes it very difficult to seek solutions that are specific to my problems.  Anyone who can help me to identify the problem, it is find a mistake or a newspaper that shows where the problem is, would help me tremendously and close me solve the problem.

  I think I need to install some type of update will miraculously fix the problem, as point 4 above, where IE upgrade to v 9 fixed my problem of Skype, but I have no idea what it would be.

  Thank you in advance for all help me and I hope that this forum will help others.

  Thanks Abzyx.

  I use Firefox all the time and I would have downloaded Flash while in Firefox, but the download never worked.  The only solution that worked for me was what I mentioned in the post above (message number 7).

  Yes your right, I did not mention on the PDF reader, thanks for pointing that out.

  I noticed that you mentioned using another like Sumatra PDF reader, so I had to look that.

  I found that Nitro and Sumatra where 2 alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Nitro looked like a more advanced system, but it does not work.  Sumatra seems simpler, but as PDF readers go, if I can read a PDF file, which is fine for me, Sumatra has worked well.

  Research on the internet I found a video that has been really good for my problem.  I'm looking for 'acrobat reader vista' and the 4 down link was a youtube video called "Install Adobe Reader in Windows Vista" on the page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wAki19nDSY

  After you follow the instructions in the video, I am Acrobat works.

  Basically, I went to the URL of the video: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/

  Then try to find the most recent version, so I tried 11.0.16, but this does not work, the video shows using 10.0.0, so I thought I would try to use 11.0.0 and if this does not work, try the version 10.0.0.  I found version 11.0.0 worked for me then once installed, I checked for update in Acrobat Reader and now I 11.0.8 and this seems to be the best version of work for my computer.

  Thank you again Abzyx and everyone who help me by posting your comments.  By studying what has been mentioned, internet search and try different installers and more clear, I found what I was looking for.

• Sound problems after installing Vista on Satellite A100

  Hello

  I have something new, something I've never seen and I do not much [as appropriate] of you.

  Today, I installed Windows Vista Beta 2 on my laptop Satellite A100-192. As it is Vista compatible now [I added some memory] I think it's the right time to see the new operating system [that is great, he will rule the world for sure].

  But back to the topic.
  After the installation of Windows Vista, which has detected almost all of the software in my pc and have fun on this topic / and there are a lot of things an old fart like me, can have fun with / I decided it's time to get back to work.
  So I restarted my toshiba for win xp, started working and has decided that music will surely improve my / concentration i'm from Poland and as many of you know, my team lost the first game of the 2006 World Cup. so they will not pass the group stage of WC2K6--real cause my humor today. After turning on my foobar, I realized that I don't hear nothing/i do not drink, so he can't really be the cause. I've set all volume settings, all the settings of the sound and nothing! I tried headphone jack, but it does not work too. I tried reinstalling the drivers, reboot the system several times and... nothing.
  I went back to Vista and... sound works like a charm.

  Bromine to Vista my sound on XP...

  Anyone has any bright ideas, how this could have happened and how to solv it / accept to remove vista from windows...?

  I would be greatfull for some advice...
