• Backup "to a network' grayed out for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

  Dear Forum:

  Vista Home Basic SP - 2, Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 (signed on as "Administrator" on both machines)

  I'm trying to back up data residing on Vista Home Basic machine on a shared drive on Win XP Pro machine on an ethernet network.  When I run backup and restore Vista HB machine, backup "to a network' option remains greyed out.

  From now on, I can read and write in the public records of the Vista machine from the Win XP Pro machine and I can read and write to disk shared Win XP Pro machine from Vista HB machine.

  I apologize if the question has been discussed previously.  I appreciate all help to address this issue.

  -Kevin N

  I'm sorry, but Windows Vista Basic cannot save to a network location.  It can only back up to a local disk.

  Backup to a network location requires a more advanced version of Windows Vista.

• Online backup service for my Vista Home Basic

  I tried to do a full backup of my Vista Home Basic OS. By following the instructions on the Web help and Support site, I used a total of 12 CD to do a full backup.  It took a such incredible amount of time and money and I still don't know what the correct procedure. I've seen many services online that offer to do the same thing for a minimal amount. And the files would be available at any time and any PC. I don't know what to do. Pay your bills online. I downloaded a lot of music and family photos. Can someone please advise me on how best to safeguard my information simply and safely? I don't mind paying the monthly or annual fees as long as it is considered to be safe.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Sincerely,

  Linda

  Hello

  The best value for money option is to save a number of different external hard drives and store them off-site (perhaps in different places).

  Each online backup provider has different rates depending on how you want to store and their prices change over time. To learn more, you may need to search online using your favorite search engine.

• Vista Home Basic license questions

  Have revived an old PC that has one or more there has been subscribed HARD drive, put another disc in recently formatted and reinstalled Vista Home Basic, but probably not with the same disc that came with this particular machine (I have 6 home desktops and laptops), but certainly the number plate which is fixed on the side of this particular case (office emachine computer) is legitimate and came with this machine brand.

  Windows tells me this license is already in use and will not accept the activation code indicated in the certificate on the side of the machine.

  I tried everything, telephone contact for online registration is obsolete and even when I use the given number when ringing the old number, there is no need, I can't make it work.

• Can I switch to Win 7 SP1 of Vista Home Basic (without Service Pack)?

  Hello, currently I run Vista home basic 32-bit without the service Pack installed. I did once try and install but I got was a never-ending startup sequence (the BONES do not start) and I had to restore a backup copy of previous Vista before installing SP1. So it's just a quick question: can I go directly to Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 without having all the service packs currently? I don't have a lot of free time to do a clean install and restore programs and games, and configure them.

  Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

  You can try to install without MS, if you wish.

  And if you have a problem, follow this information.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

• Crashes in Windows vista home basic...

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Compaq-A900-pressario with OS Vista-Home-Basic. Due to some
  problems I formatted and reinstalled the OS from the backup CD. Now, he
  crashes every time I'm playing a video online, or perform updates online.

  the CPU usage is too high.
  The fan speed also with a lot of noise, etc.
  The laptop would become too hot in the areas of the keyboard.
  and he subsequently crashes.

  after him, the laptop does not get a few minutes as long as the keyboard area is still hot. After 30 minutes or more when the laptop gets cold, then it gets turned on and load the operating system.

  Everything started after I have format the laptop. earlier, it was working fine without any problems.

  Pls tell me what to do.

  Concerning
  Gopal

  Hello

  Since he used to work the question could be of Service Packs or drivers required.

  Did you apply SP1 and SP2?

  Center of Microsoft Service Pack
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/service-packs

  ========================

  Check with Compaq Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask the HP? Compaq
  Forums for known issues. Be sure to see if you have the latest drivers.

  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 Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
  (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This 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 system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
  site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 AS ADMIN - reset after each
  installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
  This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
  install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if 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.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

  In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

• Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

  I'm looking for customizable configurations, and I see that you offer with 8 GB of RAM, but it takes a 64-bit system to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicitly says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I certainly don't need. Is it possible to specify a command with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

  Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the addition of the company. Wikipedia:

  «Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget conscious users not requiring advanced do not support supports for domestic use.» ... Home Basic supports one processor physical, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Edition Tablet PC, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of the basic home edition with the exception of Parental control and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, image system and recovery, offline files, backup a server to single user Remote Desktop , capabilities of collaboration ad hoc P2P cliché support that allows you to access previous versions of files, Tablet PCsupport and other features of business-oriented management. Vista Business edition supports up to two physical processors. 64-bit Enterprise supports 128 GB of RAM. »

  I am interested in a configuration with a high power, dual-core processor and 8 GB of RAM with the cache of 2 GB drive in addition to that, among other things, large volume, an intense audio processing. None of the additional costs related to the company are things that I need, but I need a 64 bit system to exploit the 8 GB of RAM. Frankly, I really don't want to pay $79 just for the support of RAM, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and while the basic edition is apparently not a Windows 7 free upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.

  My questions:

  • If I set up a machine with > 3 GB installed memory, will there by default be configured with the 64 bit version of the edition of Windows, I chose?
  • If so, is there a cost difference? There is no difference in cost between the registered versions 32 - and 64-bit Enterprise edition.
  • If not, is it possible to make this simple change to my order? Levono is even included in Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

  buzgun wrote:

  Ehh. The other side to this is that, when you try to maximize the efficiency of an audio production on the fly system, a huge amount of overhead of operating system is not desirable.

  If you after a clutter of OS (which is what you seem to be which means by 'efficiency'), you will need to do significant customization of the load of the installation of any  version of Windows, so it won't be fine well what version start you with.

  See you soon,.

• Vista Home Basic - update SP2 fails error 0xc0190005 code

  I have and Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista Home Basic installed.

  Today I downloaded and started to install SP2 and all seemed well until reboot, where I am treated to a black screen showing what I presume to be names of files or registry entries because they are updated. The line begins by xxxx/64281 and a dewcription who follows between parentheses.

  This process never ends because it showing:
  "!! 0xc0190005! 22412/64281 (\Registry\machine\schema\ wcm://Microsoft...) »
  The end of this line appears truncated for me so I do not know which file or registry entry that is a failure on.

  I tried to repair using startup options and he didn't offer not a choice of restore points, just tells me it is either restore to a previous state (which stops working after about 5 minutes and then he's here doing nothing for so long let him - more than an hour!) or disk errors fixing which translates to reset and the same error once again product.

  Safe mode does not start and restore the last good known eventually brings us to square one.

  Is there someone who can translate this cryptic error code and point me in the right direction?
  Please Don ' t just point me to an article and if you copy and paste a response, at least be so kind enough to make it readable.

  Vista SP2 offered to your computer through Windows Update or you try to install manually?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

  Ask them if you can also make 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
