  • Need to update Vista Service Pack 1 to upgrade to Win7 newly purchased, but I can't upgrade to SP1, because he thinks that it is already installed. Catch-22?

    I just bought a Win7 update to finally get rid of my Vista.  I had automatic updates of Vista from day one and it is completely up to date after the update of Windows.  However, when I go to install the upgrade to Win7, it won't let me because it says I need Service Pack 1 installed on my Vista.  When I return to the WIndows update, it won't let me because he thinks that it is up-to-date.  What can I do?

  • Satellite A30: question about XP service pack update

    I have a satellite A30 2.80 ghz - and that you have recently purchased a midi keyboard, but unfortunately you have XP (SP2).
    I only have xp. My computer works fine if I download the SP2 version as I've heard that it doesn't always.

    Don t worry, the next service pack SP3 is released and believe me: it s better to have a service pack installed, and then nothing. Just don't hesitate and update your system, it will work... MUST work ;)

    try to download windows vista service pack 2. Last update was on May 21, 2010. For a few weeks or months, the computer can be terribly slow. Often a hard drive rattle sound. For this, I tried anti-spyware, last week I installed and ran AdAware from lavasoft. It found nothing except two small cookies. A few weeks earlier, I had done the same thing using windows Defender. Also nothing. Along with a check disk hard I did not find much either. What end of the lifecycle for this computer, now about 3 years? He was one of the first available vista computers.

  • S52060f Pavilion Slim Line: how create a set of recovery disks is service pack 1 burn on the disc

    Hello

    No problems with one of my desktop windows 7 but have some questions and concerns.   Outside my thin line, I have 2 other computers hp windows 7.  They are p6510T CTO Desk Top clubhouse and Pavilion HPE H8m Desk Top.   I created my own set of recovery for each computer cd.   When I created the recovery discs, I don't remember if my computer came with service pack 1 preinstalled by buying them directly at Hp.     My first question is this.   Do plant purchased hp computers come with service pack 1 already preinstalled.

    Next question.   If they do and the recovery discs that I burned for each service pack 1 image, too, be burned on the disks.   Finally.   Is there a limit to the way in which many times can I use my recovery by computer disks.

    You place your order of recovery disks is not possible that they are discontinued.   I also undertand after reloading windows I can load the service pack 1 back when running a windows update.   But it is easier to have service pack 1 already imaged on any set of recovery disks.   If some can please please point this out.    Thank you.

    If you create recovery discs when you got the computers, you can use them as many times as you want as long as they continue to work.  SP1 would not be included.  I don't think that they were not in what you received initially.  They come through Windows Update, see the center of update and the Service Pack

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/service-packs-Download#sptabs=Win7

    The recovery disc for the p6510t are available at the surgeons of the computer if necessary:

    The model s52060f turns out to be incorrect, please confirm.  The number of HPE H8m is incomplete, shall be read as

    HPE H8m K8300 for example.

    Maybe you should look at the backup to hard disk image using something like Macrium reflect free.  Check it out:

  • I'm trying to uninstall XP Service Pack 3

    I'm trying to uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 3 from my laptop.   I went on the site of microsoft and tried all different methods.  Method 1 did not show a Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Method 2 says "file not found".  Method 3 was only in April 2012.  I do not know the Service Pack has been installed before this, but I don't know when. I did a search of file for spuninst and found 142 records.  141 of them were in the folder Windows/Software/Distribution/download.  The last was in system32 folder/Preinstall.

    The computer is a Server 2003 and the initial install was XP Service Pack 1.  It was used for several years by my daughter, then sat for a few years.  I started again in October 2011.

    I want to uninstall the Service Pack, because I use a software that does not work properly under XP3.  The company said return to XP2 to remove bugs or improve the software to operate with any other operating system.  It would cost me a few thousand dollars.

    Since I was reinstalling XP Professional SP1 CD, it is possible that I can start all over again?

    According to this page, Janome Digitizer 10000 is not officially support in any version of Windows XP (although messages in the community of Janome forums say it works in Windows XP SP2 that you have discovered).

    If you have 2 choices:

    1 Uninstall SP3 (if possible), continue to use Digitizer 10000 but then never, NEVER connect the computer to internet at all!

    2. let SP3 and all post-SP3 installed but purchase updates & install (or upgrade to) Janome Digitizer Pro/MB (or higher).  [I found upgrades for as little as USD via Google $499].

    Note: Depending on where you bought the Windows XP computer, it might have are with WinXP SP3 preinstalled. If this is the case, you cannot uninstall SP3.

    Since it really has nothing to do with features of Windows Update, you would be better to start your own, new topic in this forum for assistance-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

    Good luck!

    Yes, you can do it.

    but there might be a chance that if you last updated your system to sp3, the driver would not work.

    That being said, go to the website of the webcam and review their installation instructions because they have updated their software or hardware cam driver for the component that you have purchased.

    either way, it seems that the cam was made during the time when xp sp2 was on the market.

    I tried to update to windows, but get error 80070490 that says I have a corrupted file (CBS Manifest) that is to be updated... so I check the error and it says to uninstall windows and reinstall using the dvd... but I don't have the dvd for windows vista service pack 2...

I ran to day thought advise that I could upgrade to windows 7... but apparently so that I can fix the problems of windows, I'm stuck. Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    Error code 80070490 claims a repair upgrade install, not an uninstall and clean reinstall.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490

    If you receive the Windows Update 80070490 error, it means that a file (CBS Manifest) that is needed to install updates is corrupt. To correct this problem, you will need repair Windows. Repair Windows will not damage your personal files or the programs that are installed on your computer.

    Have you tried the other option for system update readiness tool in the link I just gave you?

    The System Update Readiness Tool for Windows can correct some conditions that cause Windows Update 80070490 error. You can access and run this tool by reading this Knowledge Base article on the Microsoft Web site.

    And you need a DVD of Vista from Microsoft to do a repair installation upgrade according to the instructions, NOT the normal manufacturer's recovery disks.

    You will need to borrow a Microsoft Vista DVD from a friend or working knowledge.

    Here's how a repair upgrade installation:

    "How to perform a repair for Vista Installation"

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And if you can't get a loan from a Vista DVD from Microsoft, you may need to do a reinstall of Vista:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
