Resolution of the problems installing Vista SP2

• Problems installing Vista SP2

  OK, since the release of SP2 ive tried to install the Windows Vista Edition SP2 Home Premium x 86.

  Ive tried: [all this unsuccessfully]:

  -Installation in safe mode

  -Installation after removing my anti virus program.

  -Installation after you change ownership of all the contents of the C: drive to my account.

  -Install the standalone version, all languages

  -Install the standalone version, 5 languages

  - And things more...

  Some notes on my system important:

  -Its a preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium [do not know if it came with SP1] install on my laptop: Acer Aspire 7730 G-644G100MN.

  -As it was an English version of Windows Vista, when I arrived [which is weird, because I live in the Netherlands] I changed the language in Dutch using Vistalizator, the only program out there that allows you to change the language of your windows installation.

  -Windows Vista installs each update without any problems except for the SP2... I get the error message is: 0x800F0823

  -Some time ago I discovered something very strange in my laptop: the owner of the contents of the C: drive has not been saved to the Group administrators, but something else [he could not find the owner, something like that]. So I changed the property to my account [which caused some viruses to wake up, somewhat, but those that have been cleaned in place], which enabled me to access my program of all the files in the folders [which I couldn't do before, and that was the main reason I changed ownership: I was not able to run or install programs] really weird stuff]

  However today still sometimes the change of property to the non-administrateurs, which is really weird... And annoying, for example, yesterday I installed the game blur, but I wasn't able to run it because I was not allowed access to the game files, even if im an administrator!

  So I changed the owners once again, and then everything worked fine.

  -In addition, before I changed the property, I did a sfc/scannow, who found errors, but has not been able to correct.

  I guess that's about it.

  Please help me solve this problem!

  Kalaar,
  What you can try to do is to uninstall the pack of Vistalizator program\language.  Then run SFC again and if it can solve the problems, then try to reinstall SP2.  If SFC finds problems and can't always fix them after the Elimination of this program, then you need to reinstall Windows.  You can perform upgrade inplace or a clean install, and all updates, including SP2.  Thislink gives information on performing an inplace upgrade.

• Please help with the problems of Vista SP2

  So I spent all day on the forums here and I'm head over heels.  I had problems with Windows update and some other problems on my Dell Studio XPS.  It is a tower with double HDs in RAID mirror running Vista 64-bit with SP2.

  I got it for 3 years and I thought that I clean and correct certain defects to go back to the original Dell factory condition.  That did not fix the update install problem I did cleaning.  Now it's worse.

  I'm trying to install SP2 and get a catastrophic failure 0x8000ffff error-UNEXPECTED

  The onlychange is that several months ago, one of my WD 640 GB drives factory failed and I replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB since I couldn't find a 640 GB drive.

  I tried to stop and restart all services BITS, etc. no luck.

  I tried to run among the MS FixIt for the problem of update, but it fails because it says that it cannot initialize the powershell.

  Help, please... I'm hopelessly lost and can not spend more money on this thing.

  Thank you!

  If you need additional help with the clean install, please start your own, new topic in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and independent (i.e., not a BigBoxStore or a Geek Squad) computer repair shop & ask them to do the job.

• Resolution of the problems in VISTA! Lack of

  Cannot find the troubleshooting tool in Control Panel. I typed in the box ("convenience store") in accordance with the instructions of Microsoft... Program to "fix"... Where is he? It can be downloaded? It's terrible!

  Hello

  ·        What fix Ms there are you talking about?

  ·        What are you trying to solve?

  I see that you are using Windows Vista, and in Windows Vista, there is no possibility to solve the problems in the system. This is the reason why when you type address in the start search box, nothing comes.

  This option is available in Windows 7. In Vista, you need to download the fix that is present in the product and run on the system, for example to check the mentioned link (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-printer-problems).

  Thanks and regards.

• Problem installing Vista SP2 FastCGI

  I'm trying to install php using FastCGI. When I go to the mappings Manager-> Add Module Mapping, in the dropdown Module I don't see FastCGIModule.

  From what I've read FastCGI is part of Vista SP1. I found the answer to my problem here:http://www.witsuite.com/support/knowledge-base/manual-installation/install-iis-fastcgi.php#enable-iis-fastcgi-module-on-windows-vista the point here is the answer to my problem:

  Enable the IIS CGI feature

  Service Pack 1 of Microsoft Windows does not automatically activate for already installed IIS FastCGI module. To activate it, deactivate CGI and then turn it back on.

  I had to reboot my system and made the mistake of turning on CGI before applying any updates.

• interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

  Hello
  Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
  The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
  Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
  I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

  I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
  in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

  my internet actually works, but I don't know why
  I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
  but I do not know why :)
  I hope that my internet is still functional

  Thank you for your support

• After the upgrade to vista SP2, windows does not start.

  I have download and install vista SP2, everything goes well with the installation, no error, it ends without a problem, then it restarts my computer and after reboot, it comes up saying that windows didn't start (or your computer might not start)

  I have 2 choices, start windows normally, that does nothing when I pick it up, the other option is to fix the problem, when I choose that it restore my computer to until I installed SP2, ive tried 3 times now with no luck.

  also on a note related, when I try and open internet explorer 7, it crashes, it is said that she is looking for a fix for the problem and suggests so I run windows update, which is what suggested I download SP2.

  any help anyone can give would be most appreciated.

• The installation of Vista SP2 broke my computer

  I've lived in innumerable discussions on this site and many others to solve this problem the Vista SP2 has caused my computer to have. I have a Toshiba with Vista x 64 Home Premium computer and after several attempts failed to download SP2 months ago, I tried last night and after that he was 100% and restarted my computer it actually ruined my computer to be useful. I don't have a vista disc but a recovery partition. I already tried to use the restore point created by vista before installing SP2, but of course since it is vista this restore point fails and I have created several others before, but as if by magic, they are not put at my disposal. What is even more galling it broke my partition Ubuntu separate to be able load as well which makes absolutely no sense.

  I get the same error again and again as hundreds of others after SP2 installation on the black screen: ! 0xc0190036! 3029/89361 (dsound.dll) , I found a solution involving the use of partitions recovery tools command prompt to use this code:

  C:
  CD windows
  CD system32
  faultrep.dll.old Ren faultrep.dll
  output

  now, it worked the first time during this first stop in 1316/89361 on the startup process when he stopped to faultrep.dll, then of course another stop to dsound.dll happened and I tried the same thing, as advised in a support forum and it worked in the command prompt, but loading at startup it will pass fine faultrep since the fix but will not pass the dsound.dll portion.

  I ran a test of memory and a hard drive and it is absolutely not she. It was absolutely the installation of Vista SP2 all screwing.

  A lot of people with this problem have been very well when they could use their restore point, but of course vista is still inconsistent and would not allow me to restore my computer so now I have a $1200 thanks to the crap service Pack2 weight. I can log on to the recovery tools command prompt and open notepad.exe and file open to view my computers content together intact so much, I would like to know a solution for this problem. I also found a command line to uninstall SP2 with high fees, but because I can not connect via the mode without failure of all or the safe mode with command prompt, how am I supposed to use the instructions to uninstall sp2 via command prompt?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated since windows makes my computer a waste of money.

  The page I used to solve problems has been directly for the support site for windows and for exactly the same problem I have but he did nothing. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/975430 is the link, I tried method 1 is the system restore and that has failed, because it fails just about my only point that shows that I did much more than restoration. Method 2 is to rename the file that stops the boot process, who worked for the first file but not the second. Method 3 is the startup repair that does not work.

• Used to install Vista SP2. error code 800705b 3 error_requires_interactive_windowstation

  I now tried installing Vista sp2 several times and get the above error message.

  I have Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1.

  I use Google Chrome as a browser and Kaspersky Internet security as a security suite.

  I have a Dell Dimension desktop computer about 6 years now with 1 GB of Ram & AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core Processor5000 + 2.6 GHz.

  Although I am British my windows operating system is in German.

  I tried a lot of different options suggested on google and Microsoft.

  I tried to install windows update, but that has not worked.

  I also downloaded the SP2 and system update readiness tool and tried to install again, which didn't work.

  I tried to install in safe mode. I did a clean boot and tried to install.

  I checked the registry for the vLight folder see if that was causing the problem, but there was no record vLight.

  I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit 50202 but still cannot install.

  I hope someone can help. All tips are welcome.

  Do you think we (or rather you) will be able to decipher this problem or are - it probably that I have to reinstall Vista and SP1, and then try again to install SP2...

  My #1 concern is the fact that your computer has been & still lacks so many updates of security reviews.

  • Support for Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) ended on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Computers still running Vista SP1 "will no longer updates [i.e., updates published after July 12, 2011 so you're now nearly three 3 years behind on security updates critical!]. from Windows Update"until SP2 has been installed (this will require several prerequisite updates be installed first).

  Even if we managed to get SP2 installed, there's a very good chance that one or several updates released since July 12, 2011 will not be able to install.

  Then there's the fact that your computer - and the data on it - has been at risk for so long.

  Therefore, the only way you can ever trust the computer sescurity again would be of formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean installation of Windows (Vista or Win7).

  See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If you need additional help with the clean install of Vista, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a "BigBoxStore") computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• I can't install Vista SP2.

  original title: my PC crashed and I had to re - install Windows Vista but now I can not install Vista SP2.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find, how to install SP2 for Vista?

  As I said, I did research any possible suggestion, including stop my anti-virus program, but still not get SP2 to install for Windows Vista.

  Note: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. have you (has) uninstall the pre-installed Norton free version to test AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton removal tool [1] & restart (c) BEFORE you installed AVG Free or any other antivirus application (not to mention SP2)?

  2. when (date about) you have to install Microsoft Security Essentials (I guess) and the computer was fully patched to Windows Update at the time?

  2B. was Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

  3 MSE is auto-update itself about once every 24 hours or it is installed?

  4 can update you MSE manually via the button of UPDATE on the MSE UPDATE tab?

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

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
