  I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium.  After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full.  I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities.  I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive.  The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.

  After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive.  Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.

  Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.

  Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.

  Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update.  Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%.  I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system.  I wasn't allowed this option.

  I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt.  Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk.  I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help.  We are ourselves.  Can someone help me out here?  Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.

  I don't know how this forum works.  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  P. S.

  With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit?  This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed?  I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.

  Hello

  Since you have a Lenovo, you can try to get to WinRE among advanced startup options (f8) and performa than a system restore or if you must organize a drive to install Windows Vista full version and try to perform a system restore in Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.
  For more information, you can consult the following articles:

• Reinstalled windows (Vista Home Premium upgrade), will not let me activate

  I had to reformat/reinstall windows on my Vista Home premium computer, but now when I try to activate, I get an error indicating that the upgrade cannot be used for clean installation. That's fine, because I know that the activation of the phone will operate, but I can't find a phone number for the activation of the phone. When I do the slui.exe 4, he'll need just to options where it asks me to put in the code, then gives me just the error message. He will never give me the option for the offline or activation of the phone (I even tried to unplug my internet). I'm looking for a phone number to get it activated...

  The best thing for you to do is repeat the installation, this time as an upgrade of the current, ensuring that you enter the key on request the installation - it should then accept and activate normally.

• Hi guys my laptop runs on vista home premium... Can I install windows7 inside? Thank you

  my computer laptop sistem is the processor intel core duo 2 GHz

  If she has a Core 2 Duo processor, it can probably run Windows 7.

  System requirements:

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  * 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  * Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

  ---------------------------

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

• How can I get rid of Astromenda.in Firefox run in Vista Home Premium

  I received a message that I thought was since Mozilla Firefox saying I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I did and ended up with Astromenda.

  I went to control panel configuration/programs and features, Astromenda and uninstalled. Then I adjusted my options for my Firefox home page and got rid of Astromenda on the opening of Firefox. However, if I hit the '+' tab for a new tab, I get a 'search' Astromenda tab. I went to 'searchplugins' in Firefox profile and found Astromenda.xml and replaced by safesearch.xml. Did not help, Astromenda is still there when I add a new tab.

  I'm going on the web and found Web sites on how to get rid of the Astromenda but they want to download me various adware cleaning tools, but I am reluctant to download anything at this point unless it is sanctioned by Mozilla Firefox.

  Thank you

  Download anti-malware/adware cleaning tools are the best way to remove these infections. The MalwareTips site is a reliable source of information about the malicious software removal. For more information on malware, see:

• transfer of windows Vista home premium to windows 10 Edition

  I get a new Tower made Saturday that will run on Windows 10.  My turn today, very old, currently runs on Vista Home Premium.  I know all about the transfer of files and DVDs or an external hard drive and other photos, but is there a way to run a cable to transfer of the former Tower of {Vista} to the {Windows 10} new?  Also, what will happen to any software I currently installed on my Vista tour?  Is it possible to transfer them on at all.  For example, I have the Smart Notebook software installed with the Smart Board files I use at school (I am a teacher).  If I can't transfer or reinstall the software, these files are not good for me here at home more.  Any advice?  I'm NOT savvy computer in some way, shape, or form {in case you couldn't tell}!  Thank you!

  Vista software is not compatible with Win 10... regarding the data of user files/folders, use microsoft to transfer. All the

  a need is a CAT5 cable, or better.

  Also, even if software vista compatible, you always need to reinstall it for the new OS...

  Also, maybe try a virtualization software, the info here.

• 32-bit Vista Home Premium - Library visual basic runtime C++ crash Explorer.exe

  Friends,

  I downloaded a couple of freeware registry cleaners and they have corrected many errors of registry, however, the phenomenon persists. When I downloaded
  a registry-setting product commercial (Quad Registry Cleaner), after a preliminary analysis, it is referring to several errors more than the freeware version captures, the most common being the empty registry keys.  It is better to spend the money to buy a commercial registry cleaner, or are there other solutions to try first.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Registry cleaners are full and complete trash!  They do a lot more damage, then they fix NEVER actually!  Especially if you use more than one!  They are all ready to go to look for competing software, and delete the registry keys!  You give a perfect example of the typical scam, a free version, find the errors that only the product of tax can fix!  It is complete and total garbage!  The first thing you need to do is run the System File Checker.  You do this from an elevated command prompt (right click and select run as administrator).  then type: sfc/scannow which allow to run and to try and correct problems detected with your system files.  But for the love of goodness, fake registry cleaners clear Czar.  Believe me, they are nothing but trouble!  Locutys of Borg

• Scan to folder installation network - Win VISTA Home Premium

  Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8600

  When I try to install the Scan to folder network on a desktop computer running Win VISTA Home Premium Web page displays the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  There is no option to continue anyway.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security all parameters have a default value.

  On my old laptop under Win XP SP3 and newer laptop running Win 7 Home Premium, when I run the analysis of the installation of the network folder, I have to continue, and then configuration page will become available.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security settings are set to default.

  I'm curious to know why I can't have analysis of screen network on Win VISTA Home Premium system folder but I can do on both other systems?  All three computers are on the same home network.

  P.S. as for the Scan to E-mail Wizard, which gives the message that this option is not available on my printer, however on the touch of 8600 printer screen option is there and he tells you how do it.  Scanning to Email app also allows me to scan to e-mail.

  Initially this feature was not mentioned on all models of the 8600, just the models more and premium that you note. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of this HP feature published scanning to email app for the majority of printers who have access to web services.

  I hope that answers your question!

• Problems with windows update, run sfc/scannow and boot into safe mode. (Vista Home Premium)

  Hi all

  Please bear with me here that I try to explain all the questions I have with my computer right now. I'll try to explain everything that self-organization as possible, but if you need more information or file papers to provide a solution more precise, do it me know.

  To start, I use a HP Pavilion dv6000 series (dv6748us to be exact) with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) installed. (Service pack 2). About 6 months ago I got this laptop from what I believe was the conflicker virus (kept forwarding pages, arrested updates and antivirus programs, etc.) and I managed to get Windows Update works again. My help and Support did not work well, it only worked in Mode without failure, so I did some research and tried a bunch of suggested corrections (update the registry, etc.) and got it work yet once again. I don't know if one of the tools that I used all by setting the Help & Support could have caused problems that I now (as I literally tried everything under the Sun until I got to work), but my Windows Update does not work properly again.

  A few weeks ago, I installed some updates and restarted the computer, but updates did not finish install on reboot. He said the usual "Configuring Updates, do not turn off your computer", but never showed percentage complete or whatever it is. It restarted, and when I open Windows Update, he said the last time I checked the updates has never been (obviously not true), and when I tried to check the updates, it jumped right to the message telling me I have to restart my computer to complete the installation of updates. She continues to do everytime I open Windows Update. From time to time, I try to restart it, just to see if it will work, and he never does.

  I spent hours trying all the solutions I could find in Google. I tried to run system update readiness tool, which seemed to run correctly (but does not solve the problem). I then tried the difficulty it for Windows Update, and it does not solve the problem. (It might be important for me to mention that I also have problems with the difficulty It Center itself, too. Individual tools like that for Windows Update is running, but the difficulty It Center program keeps giving me the error message that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start.") I also tried to rename the pending.xml file, and then later I deleted it, after reading in another forum that you rename the file could cause system instabillity or something like that.

  Unfortunately, I can't use system restore to solve all my problems, because all my previous restore points have disappeared (I don't know if the virus wiped out them, or if the computer removed on its own) but restore points only I checked are those that have been created recently, during the time I had these problems.

  I tried running sfc/scannow nothing helped, as he continues to tell me that there is a pending repair, but repair pending never ends. I tried to use the command of /revertpendingactions of dism.exe/image:C\/cleanup-image in the command prompt of recovery center to stop it pending repairs, and that has not worked because it claims that dism.exe that does not exist / is not a valid command. No matter what I try, I can't have this pending repair or my updates to complete pending.

  I tried to boot mode safe several times as well and he hung up on crcdisk.sys when starting every time.

  Being that I can't use sfc/scannow, System Restore, or get into Safe Mode, I'm really lost as to what I should do next. I'm honestly not sure if the problems are related, but I just thought it would make sense to list them all in one place.

  Please note that I don't want to re - install Windows Vista, or don't I think I need, because the computer works very well for most. (I use it for typing this right now). I had much rather bring all the features on mine, which I believe can be achieved with the help of the right person.

  If someone could provide me with suggestions/solutions, it would be greatly appreciated! Certainly, it would relieve a lot of stress for me!

  DISM is a thing of Windows 7. First test the hardware.

  Standard hardware troubleshooting
   
   
  First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...

   

  Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

   
  Diagnosis of memory

  If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.

   

  S.M.A.R.T
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
   
  WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List

   

  If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.

   

  Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.

   

  In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
   
  Run chkdsk

  In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

   

  SFC

  Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).

   

  sfc/scannow

   

  Heat

  Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.

   

  For memory diagnostic results

  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.

   

  Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

   

  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

  For results of Chkdsk

  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.

   

  Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
  Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
  Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
  
  Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
  Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
   
  PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
   
  For the results of the SFC
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   

  findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "

   

  It will be able to see which files are corrupted.

   

  To see if there

   

  findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

   

  There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
