If you had READ my answer, it explains what you have to do on a Vista DVD: borrow a.

The manufacturer's recovery disk do not normally allow you to use it to solve problems.

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

If you can't borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, read the info below on how to get Vista reinstall Media:

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.

http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/homeLenovo.do

Contact your computer manufacturer 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 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.

Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

See you soon.

  • Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2

    Hello

    My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week).  I get no error message at all.  It simply doesn't get it.  The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features".  When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.

    I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase).  I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.

    At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3.  All scans is come-up 100% clean!

    I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not.  As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.

    Windows Update online might work.  I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.

    Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either.  It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.

    Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.

    Any thoughts on the subject?  I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not.  Laughing out loud.  I have my drive so.  :-)

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Control Panel System Windows Explorer has stopped working

    When I press on the Control Panel, system, I get an error "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then control panel stops. I get this error every time I have to perform this action. When I run my PC on Safe Mode, it works fine and I get no error and I'm able to run the options that appear when the 'Systems' option is selected. Other tasks in the control panel seem to work correctly.  I also noticed that I get similar messages "windows Explorer or the program has stopped working" periodically when I perform other tasks in internet explore, etc.

    I tried all the recommendations described in of KB/269949 and KB/929135 knowledge articles and many items in the Microsoft community, Microsoft and the Internet site. For example, update the video driver, auditor of file system (CFS), Virus scan, Mode safe, clean boot, memory RAM test, etc.. I also tried all the relevant actions I could think under the Microsoft Fix tool. Each of them has not solved the problem.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5742 G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 8 GB of memory, running Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed, so all drivers have been updated. I also use the last IE 11 with all updates.

    If anyone knows a similar problem with Windows 7, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 11, or has a recommendation how to fix?

    Hi Ravi,

    This is an update to my problem. It might be useful to others with similar problems.

    My problem has not been resolved, but I decided to live with it. It was a difficult decision after a major disaster, I almost lost everything on my PC to try and solve the problem.

    I put the finger on the problem with the graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 version 8.741.1.5000 dated dated 25/08/2010 driver. I noticed that when I check for an update using Control Panel, Device Manager, select the graphics card above and updates, windows comes back with a message indicating that it is the best available driver.

    I made the mistake to check the AMD website to see if there is a newer driver. According to their instructions and download their program, they recommended a more recent drive using the catalyst for AMD. The new driver is Version 14.301.1001.0 dated 15/09/2014 date. The same driver is also selected if I the Slimdrivers application user. With this new driver, the problem disappeared. In other words, I was able to use the Control Panel, System menu and access the submenus system without any problems. I thought I had solved the problem. I repeated the process and checked for the driver from the Windows Control Panel, Device Manager and look for the updates. Surprise. This review of windows update back to the original version of the 25/08/2010. The problem is back again. I repeated this process with re-installing Catalyst from AMD with the same results.

    However, I noticed that the AMD Catalyst, never finished the installation and the installation crashed. Updated the driver before it crashed.

    My major problem occurred when I tried to restart the PC with the new driver installed by AMD Catalyst. My PC and Windows would not start. He gave me a number of errors that the problem cannot be corrected. I tried all the solutions, Safe Mode, point to restore, System Restore and all the choices given in the articles from Microsoft. None of them worked.

    Finally, after many hours, days and nights that I was able to use an Acer recovery disk, I created when I bought the laptop. One on the Image worked system recovery options and I could get my PC to a more ancient date. The driver is the original edition of 2010 the year with the same problem.

    Therefore, I decided to live with the problem. I can access the submenus of system using startup and entering in the auxiliary system option in the search box. I wrote these submenus.

    WARNING TO OTHER USERS. DO NOT TRY to UPDATE THE ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 8.741.1.5000 driver version dated 25/08/2010, using catalyst of MCDA.

    Furthermore, my assessment is that if I try to restore my PC to the factory default condition, once all windows updates are installed and I install my apps, the same problem will occur. If I did think I would lose a lot of useful applications, which I'm not sure that I can restore. I have a lot of useful data that I use for more than 20 years and I can't afford to lose their jobs. I would live with the problem until something more grand occurs. In this case, I would by a new laptop. I would make sure that there no AMD ATI products on this topic.

    Thanks again for the time. There is no reason to answer, unless as described above, you have seen something new.

  • PS/2 mouse stops working on Vista home Premium.

    OK, so I bought a computer, an HP with Vista Home Premium, and (despite all the horror stories, I got friends who use Vista) it worked like a charm. Things were a lot until one evening when my mouse (a three buttons not optical with scroll) has stopped working. It was as if he was not yet connected. I rebooted the computer and the mouse worked fine for a minute or two, then it dies again. I tried to check my computer to find errors and he found, and I have never recived any other error that the fact that I have automatic updates turned off, because I'm on the internet by satellite and I am limited to a certain amount of bandwidth. But back to my problem: I tried a USB mouse and it worked, but it made me even more problems. You see, I have set up wireless network, and I use a wireless USB adapter. However, when I started using the USB mouse, it has messed up my network connection. The computer wouldn't connect to the network, even if I wasgiving it the password correct and everything. I tried another card, and same problem, it always says that the password is wrong, and it would not attempt to open a session on the network, comes immediately coming with the error message. Well, after some time of dinking autour with her, I did finally find the mouse by lightning to work. However, now it is down again. I'm sick and tired of having to borrow the mouse USB of my friend, WTF I do? And please don't tell me to buy something, because I'm here to solve a problem, for not giving Microsoft (or someone else) more of my hard earned money.

    Hi Roadkill1992,

    Thank you for your message.

    You may want to refrain from downloading pirated software.

    Any number of bad things can happen to this activity.

    If it does not work on other computers, but not yours, I think you're right about the driver.

    You can also try a different PS/2 mouse into this port on your computer to see if it is a failure.

  • The backup feature has stopped working on Vista

    The backup does not work on my Vista.  When I connect, two boxes of error, we're the D: drive is full and the other the backup cannot be performed.  Last week, I received a pop-up box saying that the backup & recovery had ceased to work and the ability to click on the link to fix it but the link does not work.  Any help?

    Hello

    Backups are stored on external media; DVD or external USB connected hard, not to the internal hard drive.

    And partition D: is normally your recovery partition.

    Read this information about it:

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

    I do not see a particular problematic module in this list, so I'll propose to try to capture a dump of user mode of the accident which will also show the "unloaded" modules

    You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

    If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file, then right click on the .reg file and select "merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file recdisc.exe breaks down must be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

  • Re: HDD Protection utility has stopped working?

    I came just to look at the Toshiba PC Health Monitor yesterday and I saw that my HARD drive protection did not work. I clicked on the drive and all my functions are greyed out and I couldn't allow him once again.

    So I did some research on Google and saw that I'm not the only one having this problem I did what other people did and tried to install the HARD disk Protection software... once again. Well about half way through the installation process, I get the following error:

    * 2753.The error file 'startmenu.exe' is not marked for installation

    and you can click the 'okay' box that automatically closes the program. I don't know what to do now.

    I have a portable Satellite P755-S5269 I bought a week ago.

    Hello

    I studied a bit and it seems that the 2753 error file is not marked for installation appear under different applications so it s not related to the software Toshiba other apps but is generated from the Windows Service install detect old installation of software that cannot be removed.

    I recommend you download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and remove all detected HDD Protection Utility versions.
    In addition, you can also try to clean the registry using the CCleaner.
    Then restart the laptop, download and run the HDD Protection Utility setup once more.
