• Computer Toshiba laptop does not start after trying to install SP2 for vista 32 bit

  Tried to install SP2 for vista updates, it stagnates at 12%, message saying a problem has been detected and windows has been closed to protect the computer. At the bottom of the error message screen, it reads, technical info-stop OXOOOOC1F5. Windows doesn't start at all now, has tried running safe mode, pilots seem to load, then it returns to the screen error message with the same problem said. Nothing seems to work, tried same recovery disk came with the computer, it says it is loading files, then it returns also to error message screen. Computer came with vista pre-installed, so I don't have this drive to try. Someone at - it solutions? Very frustrating, how do I search problem when the computer will not start at all? Help!

  Follow the info below to try 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.

  If yours falls into the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  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.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  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.

  Referring to 956702 KB notes that the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=167357 link that needs 32-bit is 64-bit.  In addition, it specifies SP2 - which obviously I do not have.  But I manually downloaded the apparently correct tool and ran it - get does not apply.

• Problems installing sp2 on Vista...

  I can't install SP2 for Vista. I installed SP1 and I tried to install sp2 via windows update in which the update actually installed, but after the reboot, I get a message saying that the update could not be configured correctly and changes reverted.

  I also tried to install it manually, but I get an error message saying "C:\Windows\system32\sqmapi.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program with the help of the orignal installation media or contact your system administrator or support software provider."

  I also tried a system allows to browse the command line to check all of the corrupted files, but generally the process was not successful... ! Any help would be appreciated!

  Hi MichaelPlaster,

  Given that you are always faced with the question, I suggest doing an InPlace Upgrade\Repair installation using the full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to install the stand-alone SP1 package.

  Note perform a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.

  To perform an upgrade in-place, follow these steps.
  a. close all running applications.

  b. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

  c. in the settings window, click install now.

  Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

  d. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.

  Note the placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

  e. list programs, click Setup.exe.

  f. in the settings window, click install now.

  g. click go online to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

  h. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

  i. Select the operating system on the page "Windows Installer" you want to increase the power or Inplace.

  j. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

  k. on the type of installation do you want? screen, click upgrade.

  l. Once installation is complete, restart your computer.

  For more information, please see the link:

  How to perform an upgrade on the spot on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the upgrade has completed, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.

  For more information about how to activate Windows Vista, see the following article:

  How to activate Windows Vista.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Hello

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

• After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in poster format.

  After installing SP2 for Vista, everything that I try to print from this computer prints in format post little matter what I tell the printer to do.  I use a laptop Acer Aspire 9410, 32-bit, Windows Vista, IE 8.  Commands from another computer on the printer work properly.  Should I uninstall SP 2 & reinstall?  Or what is the best fix for the problem?  Thank you.

  shagen18,
  You need to uninstall the printer and make sure you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer of the printer and then reinstall the pritner.
