    You can first go into the Task Manager - by an "Alt + Ctrl + delete" and select "Start Task Manager" and check what tasks/process is running which prevents closing.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Stop Vista event ID 6008 for the Sims 2

    I got Vista 64 Home Premium since 10/2009 and no problems until June 29, 2010.  I've been running the Sims 2 since 10/2009, but from June 29, when playing the game, the computer will randomly turned off completely.  No BSOD, no warning.  I've updated my video card drivers, but that did not improve the situation.  I checked the event viewer and get the event ID 6008, "shutdown system before at (time) on (date) was not planned."  No other error messages, no BSOD.

    The computer feels hot to the touch, it's a gateway LX6810-01 running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit with Service Pack 2.  I ran the Sims 2 hours at a time before (for the last few months, usually 2-4 hours a day, much more the weekend) with no problems, but now sometimes the computer stops while the game is load again, sometimes I can get some time in French - the longest so far is 3 hours.  I can't think of what's happening in the game that could cause this, especially in the loading or menu screens.

    ETA: I have not changed/downloaded/installed anything for the Sims 2 between the moment where he would not plant and the time that he began to be crush/cause the computer to stop.

  • How to stop Vista Security Center 2011 to block access to the internet

    My sons laptop has been mess up since yesterday afternoon. There McAffee Antivirus, who has never been a problem, however, "Security Center Vista 2011' at random is appeared for the first time, automatically scanned the computer and reported 25 viruses. For this reason, whenever it opens Internet Explorer to surf the net, a pop-up appears telling him that he is infected. If it it closes its doors, the internet charge only to be saying the same thing again, and if you choose to continue to sail on the same message appears, telling him that he is infected. If we go on the Vista Security Center to try to adjust the settings, it leaves us not as customization options are 'greyed out '. He asks us to buy a full version which we don't want.

    We had McAffee scan for these viruses, and it reported a Trojan horse which he deleted. I then rebooted the laptop and the computer starts downloading Vista SP1. It took about an hour to install it. I was hoping that the errors were corrected, however it is still preventing us access to Web sites, saying each site Web is "infected." Several windows pop up appears regularly telling us that the computer is infected and asked to purchase a full version of Vista Security Center 2011.

    Please help, as we have tried a lot of things, and we cannot remove this security program.

    -Simon

    Hi there, Ok vista security center 2011 is a virus. You need a better program Antimalware too to roll all this crapy virus!, I wrote this a month ago. You need too download malwarebyets you can find it here on this link http://www.malwarebytes.org/, download the free version, then you will see a desktop icon of this anti-malware program. You need also side click on it and run as administrator, then it will start up. Now DO a FULL system SCAN, not a quick analysis. It should take about 40mins or so. Now, you will see at least 4 bad Trojan and a virus. Now delete 'em, then after restart PC... Do the same thing again. After the scan is complete, and no virus found... System Restore to a point over 5 days. When we know that when the computer was working no probs then you done everything;), Post back on here to see how you are thereby. Thanks Dion.

  • Stop Vista automatically on the Satellite A200-14F (PSAECE)

    System stops - but re - start automatically. Have updated the BIOS, but still no luck. Have tried all the settings on Vista power options.

    For me, it looks a bit like a problem of overheating or a problem of Vista system.

    Let's talk about overheating;

    Usually the laptop stops automatically if the temperature reaches a critical threshold. Then the notebooks overheat protection stops the laptop to prevent material damage.
    Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because notebooks modules of cooling don't work properly.
    You can try to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.
    It s a really useful tool for blowing air even if the railings of cooling and get rid of the dust and debris. These sprays, you can buy a portable computer/computer dealer.

    But this problem could be related to a software problem;
    In this case, I would recommend reinstallation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

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

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    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.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • display "time taken" in format 24 hours under Vista

    I transferred some pictures from my mobile phone to the computer. The 'date', that the photos were taken is just, but 'time' the photos were taken has not met properly. When I look at my phone which is in 24-hour format, the time is 1745 but Windows displays as 745. I need these photos for insurance - any ideas on how I can get Windows Vista to display the correct format?

    Hello
     
    This happens usually if Windows Vista time settings are incorrect. In the time settings, the 'h' refers to 12 hours, format and 'H' refers to 24-hour format.
     
    To change the time in 24-hour format, try the following steps.
    1. open the Date and time by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click clock, language, and region, and then clicking the change date, time, or number format.
    2. in the regional and Language Options window, click the Formats tab, and then click Customize this format.
    3 click the time tab and change the format of the time according to your requirement.
    4 restart the computer.
     
    For more information on setting the clock correctly, search for the steps in this article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-the-clock

  • PC (Vista) stops at the start even in the trunk or the repair mode.

    On his return from a trip, I rebooted my computer. Loaded Windows. After a few minutes, it will turn off by itself. I rebooted and you stop again just after the end of the loading of Windows. I restarted again and was able to open some apps and the computer remained on. A few hours later, I went on the PC and it was stopped. I decided to do a system restore and it was a success and rebooted fine. After remaining on during a few hours, stop in again. I started in safe mode and was able to check the startup items. I disabled some elements for application and restarted again. Computer remained down for a while and then stop again. I get always the blue screen and the green bars.

    That's where is seems odd. On startup, I get options to restart in safe mode. I select it and the PC stops on start up. On reboot, I get the options again and this repair to choose the moment. It starts the process and then asks if I want to restore to a previous restore point. I select Yes. It begins to go through the process, but then stops. So now, I can't start at all.

    Time for the PC to close seems to have understood more short and stopped at various points in attempts to boot to the point where it won't start now.

    On the boot CD, I chose to start windows normally. I get to the password screen and it stops. Upon reboot, I select the repair disk and it also closed.

    This sounds like a software problem or system over? Any suggestions on this diagnosis?

    Thank you

    It is a hardware problem, so all the tinkering with the restoration of the system, startup items, etc. was incorrect. Your computer could be overheating and/or other hardware components could fail. You can troubleshoot the equipment yourself or bring it to a local reputable professional.

  • Can I put molten automotive leave after my Vista guest operating system stop?

    I use a single operating system to prompt with my Fusion facility.  Is Windows Vista.  Usually, I use the Vista environment a few minutes each day to run Quicken.  So I don't want to have Fusion it running all day or anything like that.  Ideally, I would like to be able to launch the VM in Vista, do my job to Quicken for a few minutes and then stop Vista and then it automatically also have stop and exit merger entirely.  By default, the virtual machine stops and let me melt which I must then also release the mouse or keystrokes.  Is there a toggle to implement the merger while it automatically closes after the last VM running is stop or something like that?

    A quick way to stop the virtual machine and exit the merger is:

    Go to the VMware Fusion menu-> preferences... Select when a virtual machine is closed: power off the virtual machine.

    Then, when you want to close the virtual machine and quit the merger, just command + Q or VMware Fusion-> quit VMware Fusion.

    Your virtual computer will stop and Fusion will automatically exit.

    It will be useful.

    Problem signature 01: AutoFailover
    Problem signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.6001.18000
    Problem signature 03:6
    Problem signature 04:524296
    Problem signature 05: 0xf4
    Problem signature 06: 0xf4
    Problem signature 07:0
    Problem signature 08:2
    Problem signature 09: WrpRepair
    Problem signature 10:16385
    OS version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
    Locale ID: 1033

    Can anyone help? I have an option for 'Complete restoration of Windows', but want to this only as a last resort because I do not have a backup of my files.

    Thank you

    Try this first before reinstalling.

    If it fails, see below, data recovery before reinstalling.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.
