Sequence of patches after reinstallation of Vista Home Premium.

I have an OEM copy of Vista Home Premium that doesn't have SP1 or SP2 on it (bought Vista before they came out).

I just did a reinstall of Vista Home Premium (formatted hard drive).

I started doing the update of Windows and got offered LOADS of updates, then after this I gave myself SP1. Then after that still more updates to update, then finally SP2. It took FOREVER.

How can I shorten this process?

Is this OK to put on SP1 (from CD) RIGHT AFTER the VISTA installed (before downloading updates), and then put on SP2 (from CD) after this (once again without any other updates)?
 
Or Vista does expect some fixes to install before the SP1 or SP2 installed?

Hello, Guilbert

You can download the standalone versions and just install them immediately.

There are a few prerequisite updates that must be installed first, which must be installed very well.

Service Pack 1: Download the stand-alone update: 32 bit | 64-bit
Service Pack 2: Download the stand-alone update: 32 bit | 64-bit

Condition sine qua non for SP1:
Download the update for Windows Vista (KB937287) package now. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5639710d-dfbf-4527-806e-9a1634d0cc8e)
Collapse this includes this imagedownload the update for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB937287) package now.

Condition sine qua non for SP2:
32-bit: download the 955430 package now. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b1746a64-2bb5-4058-b133-d8264a0122cb)

  • Network drivers no longer will charge after upgrade to Vista Home Premium sp2.

    On a laptop Sony PCG - 7113 L VGN-NR220E, that is running Windows Vista Home Premium sp1, I tried to upgrade to sp2 who said he could not make the transfer and restarted, tried once more and then restored sp1.  All came back as the same with the exception of all the network drivers cannot be loaded.  Here is a list of drivers who have failed.

    • ISATAP. Westell.com
    • Map Microsoft ISATAP #3
    • Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
    • Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet
    • Controller of
    • LAN0Express AS IEEE 802.11 g PCI-E fit

    I went back to the site from Sony and all the latest drivers downloaded from the site and tried to install.  Only some allowed me to do even while administering it, but even those that didn't load on reboot even if it finds the drivers.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Device Manager, but nothing helped.  None of the drivers loaded when you restart.  I tried disabling verification of driver and reinstall the network drivers that I downloaded from Sony site without success.  Then I tried to download a driver directly from Marvell Yukon site for its pilot, but which also failed.

    Given that this approach did not work, I tried to get sp2 to load looking for why it was not installing.  I found a patch that was supposed to help the installation in certain situations that I loaded and sp2 installation I tried again a full download on another computer, which has not the same way.  I then tried to load sp1 over himself, but he refused, saying he was already loaded.

    I tried to start off backups old session, but without success.  I wouldn't have to reinstall the operating system everywhere, especially since I don't even know if the owner of the computer has a copy of the operating system.

    It seems to be that something related to all the fuction of network that worked before you attempt the installation of sp2 and was obvious immediately after.  Is there something I can do to restore the network features without a complete reinstallation of the operating system?

  • sfc/scannow foud the corrupted files after upgrade from Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Hello

    It is an event that I went through:

    Repair of system files change will take effect after the next reboot.

    (2) so I did restart and then try to run the sfc/scannow task once again, but I still got the same message I described in step 1 again. So basically sfc/scannow function did not repair the corrupted files.

    (3) the next step, I decided to perform a repair Installation of visa which took me 10 hours to complete the task, once the task of upgrading of repair has been made and before the windows update, I ran sfc/scannow task and this time he finds any corrupted files, but after I updated windows sfc/scannow result was the same as step 1.

  • Reinstallation of Vista Home Premium on Home Basic on a new hard drive

    Hi all

    I don't know how to start my relocation.  Here is a little background and the problem:
    I was a stranger, and my hard drive crashed.  I had the hard drive replaced and the Windows Vista Home Basic edition is installed for temporary use.  Now back in the States, I would like to reinstall Home Premium edition (based) and all of its programs on my laptop and I'm not sure how to start.  I just put the disc in and go?  Or is it more that I'm missing?
    It is also necessary that I keep all my files currently saved on the laptop; so so simply by putting the reinstall drive in will require from a new team and wiping out my files, this is obviously not an option.

  • Various services not loading after upgrade from Vista Home Premium to SP2

    I searched the forums for solutions to this problem for several days, but nothing helped. I first noticed the problem after an attempted upgrade to SP2, when the upgrade failed Mid - install and restored automatically to the previous pack service, it seems that it does not restore things to their good working condition. On the one hand, the audio service no longer works, despite attempts to start in services.msc. I am also unable to check the dependencies of this service. Second, the network in the taskbar icon indicates that the connection status is unknown, despite the fact that I can not connect and this post. Thirdly, arranging complains that it has stopped working.
    I tried several fixes, like uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, running virus scans and replacement of dll files download, but nothing has changed. I also tried the sfc/scannow command. to identify the root cause, but can not start repair services. Restore to the last know good configuration was my last attempt to win back a system that works, but this service is also blocked, complaining that the volume shadow copy service is not functional (even if I can throw in services). All previous changes have been made using administrator privileges.
    Does anyone have any suggestions before you reinstall the operating system? (ASUS laptop refurbished w/o a DVD of vista) Would be very grateful if you can provide help on this

  • Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

    Hello, everyone!

    Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

    For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

    Thank you very much!

  • Bluetooth doesn't work does not correctly after the installation of Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 (SP2) on Dell laptop

    I searched this forum and almost all resources on the net for days now nothing works.  Give the message to a thread more appropriate that I couldn't find one that is truly representative and am a newb at this.

    Summary of the problem: Bluetooth connectivity does not work properly after the window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 installation (SP 1 and 2).

    My system:

    Laptop Dell Inspiron E1705, 32-bit Winows Vista Home Premium SP2, Dell Wireless Bluetooth 355 Module + EDR 2.0

    * My system was purchased in 2006 with Windows XP, but was not entitled to a free Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade I did. I installed Windows Service Pack 1 and 2 about a week ago.

    Problem: After downloading and installing the Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 (SP 1 and 2), my system does not recognize my Bluetooth (a touch of Sprint also) device known as the HTC Vogue.  I stress that I have not had any problems with this device before downloads.  I can't revert to the pre - SP State 1 and 2 because my system restore does not have these points more.

    I have read several posts on various sites about people having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity after the Vista SP 1 and 2 facilities.  The problem is obviously the need for an updated driver.  I went to the site to download driver Dell and the Blueooth only updates available are the following. (Note: these drivers all date from 2006 and 2007).

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=pub&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_9400&os=WLH&osl=en&servicetag=&catid=-1&impid=-1&deviceid=12084&libid=5&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&releaseid=R159805&formatcnt=1&vercnt=1

    I had these installed before the SP 1 and 2 have been installed and they worked very well. After the upgrade, these drivers do not work.  They won't recognise BT devices.  I tried to upgrade the drivers by using update Broadcom suggested below it, but an error of following installation to contact Dell.

    http://www.Broadcom.com/support/Bluetooth/update.php

    I contacted Dell via e-mail and on the phone, but they want to charge me $60 for a one time service call just to talk about the problem because my warranty has expired. Provide updated drivers is not a problem of security in my opinion.  Even after explaining the situation, their continuous support to just send me the link to download Driver Dell above with out-of-date drivers.  I guess that's what they are charged to do, they do not have to admit a problem of compatibility.  This obviously the same link they would charge $60 to send.  I explained that I need just a Bluetooth Driver from Dell to at least version 6.3.   Needless to say, I will never buy another Dell product.

    On my end, I tried to uninstall my current drivers and then by installing a newer driver to support Gateway (Version 6.2.1.500 for and Acer).  This allows me to install some parts of this update and the update Broadcom. However, it is not a perfect installation and expires after about 90% saying "this update is not for this system" because it is the gateway not Dell to be provided.  Displays the version of the driver on my computer is Version 6.3.5.430 after doing this, but it is not a complete installation and some features are not available.

    Does anyone have experience with this issue? I would like to have a link with some bluetooth drivers generic Version 6.3 type which will allow me to use the Broadcom link to upgrade to the last version that works with Vista SP 1 and 2.

    Thank you for your help.

  • Fix Windows Vista Home Premium through re-setup

    After that Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 kept getting the application hangs and therefore do not start quickly, correctly, restart or shut down, even in Safe Mode, it has become virtually indispensable for me to use cleanup utility by Acronis software black Armor backup drive Seagate to remve my local ACER vista hard drive PC desktop Aspire (ACER) C... and then temporarily install Windows XP(Service Pack 2 to start puis par le biais de mises à) Automatic day, Service Pack 3) to help the reinstallation of Vista, because I do not have a Windows Vista CD.   Acer had only installed Vista on the PC but apparently provided no backup for this operating system reinstallation CD. This, in turn, which caused difficulties for activation will be resolved by reinstalling Vista.  In what way, other than emailing Acer personal, then waiting for the purchase of CD to arrive, I can download it then re - install Windows Vista Home Premium so that I can easily reactivate Productdocumentation can comfortably upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows 7?

    We don't know what you did on the Acer recovery Partition.

    Here's the General info re reinstall Vista (your XP installation does NOT come in the advice given):

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact Acer 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, ACER is Alt + F10 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.

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

    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

  • Windows cannot find any networks, but Ubuntu can! (X 32 Vista Home Premium)

    I recently replaced a faulty laptop computer mother board with an identical model (only difference is a newer version of the BIOS). After restarting Windows (Vista Home Premium 32 bit) I can't find the networks wireless where I can see usually eight networks at least an unsecured connection, but now I get nothing.

    I replaced the wireless card Atheros with an Intel Pro 3945ABG driver and installed the latest version and that I still get the same error "Windows cannot find any networks", I can get access to the internet via an Ethernet cable but I am unable to connect wirelessly. If I try to manually configure the wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred".

    I started the system from a CD of Ubuntu to check that it was not a hardware problem. Wireless card perfectly, sees all the networks, connects and works very well.

    It seems that something inside Vista has failed since even change the wireless adapter for a different manufacturer and the results of the modeling in the same error, pointers?

    Kind regards

    Jason.

    SOLVED

    It turns out that Kaspersky Internet Security is at fault and he was very happy to work via ethernet it had mutilated all WLAN connections.

Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    Hope this helps,
