  Hello

  iTunes probably has an installation broken on your system that must be cleaned.

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility: read the article... even if he comes to Office, it applies to most of the software.

  I had pre installed windows vista on my laptop. now, I replaced the hard drive. so, can we recover only windows giving you the serial number? I have sony laptop.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

  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

  You must download and install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (if not already installed) followed in Windows XP Service Pack 3.  You will find two of them at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads - download the "Network Installation Package" for the two and ignore the part about them being only for the professionals - the parcel I recommend you download will install with or without network connection.

  Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641, who has had a lot of answers posted but none does not seem to work and I tried to install this upgrade for the last 6 months!

• My hard drive went bad so I bought a new. I installed Windows Vista and everything works until I try to install SP1...

  As I said in the title, my hard drive went bad on my Dell XPS 420.  I was running 32 bit windows vista service Pack 2 since the last time my hard drive gone bad.  The first time I replaced my hard drive I used the cd of Windows Vista install with cd drivers and using automatic updates of windows.  In a few hours, I had my pc up and running.  But with this record, it's a completely different story.

  I did the same thing with her.  Installed Windows and drivers as before and I go ahead and do the automatic updates.  Everything is okay until I get to point when I download and install windows Service Pack 1.  I download, install and it seems to work very well.  Then it restarts to complete the installation and configuration.  After about 30 minutes of this, he finally said service pack error.  Restoration of the changes.  He then takes 30 minutes more to do.  After that, I get a screen saying that Windows does not start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.  Follow-up by telling him to use the windows cd repair section.
  I did this 3 or 4 times to do different techniques.  I did it with the automatic windows update.  Manually as an administrator.  After using the analysis tool in Windows Vista and in another way when restore you some files.  I am about to throw my pc because I've probably spent nearly 10 hours of messing around with it and honestly it's not my time unless there is ANOTHER way that deserves to be tried before I "Offices" of the thing.
  Honestly, I think I read every article on this subject online.  If I type in service pack 1 and vista online I went to all the links on the first 10-12 pages...
  If anyone has AN idea please let me know.  Yes, I would like at the office space that it but it would also be good to have another pc with a new hard drive...
  Thank you.

• Microsoft Outlook is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7?

  Is there a way by which Outlook can be installed on a computer, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  We have replacements for Outlook. If so, how to get one?

  I wanted to know about Outlook Express. I heard that its not available with newer versions of Windows. Is Windows Live Mail used, what is the replacement for Outlook express in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Farhad

  Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail in Vista - and completely removed in Windows 7.
  Windows Live Mail is now supported by MS free mail client and can import messages and contacts in the OE stores.
   
  Note that the upgrade to Windows 7, XP requires a format of the HD - back up your data in the first place, if do a upgrade.
