• Failed to install Vista Home Basic SP1 (KB936330)

  Hello!  I got my system using my Vista Home Basic disc eMachines.  Windows Update was set to automatic, and all required for SP1 updates have been installed.  SP1 (KB936330), size 1.9 MB, was listed for installation 9 times now.  Each time, I chose install updates, then showed to the window with installation information, then asked for my confirmation and next was to install.  Soon after, Windows Update has indicated that it is ready for download.  Help!  Thank you!  PAM

• I can't install Vista Home Basic Edition to a HARD disk formatted my installation disc

  My computer crashed by a virus. I removed the hard drive, hooked to my Windows 7 computer and formatted the hard drive. I tried for days now all possible variations in the installation menu and it fails every time! Urgh! Very frustrating!

  The disc was sent to me by Microsoft a couple of years with a product key. How can I make this work? Please...!

  I was on it for a week now. I tried all the bloody configurations that I could think of!

  I'll try what you suggested for the tenth time now - it fails every time! I find myself with a message in the upper left corner of the screen: white all type of small letters on a black screen: "no partiton bootable in the table" - no "partition", but "partiton. Just before comes up and locks the computer I see a flash of blue screen that tries to restart the computer. The Bios can be damaged by a virus? If so - how can fix this?

  Too bad... Thanks for the reply, Walter. You made me think in a different direction, that is to say, I realized that the virus was in the CMOS. So I simply removed the battery and moved the RTC Ram rider to clear the clock, so to speak. Boom! It worked! Computer has started in the setup of Vista no probs... 1 million thank - you.

• Fresh install Vista Home Basic - updates failed, Progs do not install, error, error, error! Why?

  Home awhile, its infuriating! Fresh installation using recovery disks on-line manufacturer on a disk that is not partitioned. Active but will not install updates and applications such as avast antivirus and it not install ms office.  Nothing but errors.  Have tried absolutely everything, including independent installers for essential applications and always error.  Can someone please tell me why or how the these persistent problems can be solved?  The only thing I can think is that the laptop was sold with Vista Basic initially, but the new recovery discs, ordered and received from Fujitsu for this model were sp1 Vista Basic?  The diskettes of origin provided by the store at the time of the purchase were defective.

• SP1 is not not a proposed update after RESTORATION COMPLETE (?) so I can't access SP2. 5 years old HP 530, 32 bit Vista Home Basic, with original discs.

  • Tries to bring an old HP 530 of 5 years (they called it a Business Notebook (?), with 32-bit Windows Vista Home Basic, back to the original, using the 2 discs that can bring the system up-to-date with updates you're invited.) I don't need to save anything, ALL the files AT ALL.
  • I want to send it back as when I bought it and use the 2 original discs to doneverything and then update it with the updates you are guests.
  • Apparently, I don't know when to press F9 or something else, at what time, or to put the second of the 2 original discs in.  As I understand it, disc #1 is the OS DVD, disc #2 is Application and Driver Recovery DVD (?). Copyright dates on these are 2007 & 2008. Also, I have the product key.
  • I need a COMPLETE tutorial, step by step, that I have tried this 4 times, do not get the hang of it, & of course do not have enough experience in this.  When I THOUGHT that I had just finished, after a multiple-update every day experience, no guests included updated Service Pak 1 (SP1), which I understand is necessary before acquiring Service Pak 2 (SP2). In addition, more my arisen Internet research a small window is to say unable to connect to the page, OPERATION ABANDONED...
  • Should I try to disable (?) Windows Defender before installing the antivirus ESET 6 and Malwarebytes paid version at this thing?       And when can I install these. As soon as I connect to the Internet, updates Windows want to start RIGHT NOW!

• Impossible to Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium. Don't want to do a clean install. How to get around this problem?

  just bought an upgrade to Vista Home Premium with service pack 1.  I'm upgrading to Vista Home Basic.  The program tells me that the upgrade has been disabled and he wants to do me a clean install.  I really don't want to do a clean install.

  If your installed Vista Home Basic has recently installed Service Pack 2 > uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 for him >

  Do your upgrade to Home Premium Service Pack 1 > then redownload/reinstall Vista Service Pack 2 again.

  And make sure your Vista installed and the upgrade of Vista are the versions both either 32-bit or 64-bit, depending on what is your Vista Basic.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Info is if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit Vista.

  Since I installed Vista Home Basic microphone does not work. It worked perfectly with Windows 98 earlier. The speakers are OK. The microphone is connected is not detected by the system. Vista has been updated with the Service Pack SP1. The sound card is integrated into the motherboard (Intel G945GCL). The sound material is described in as "High definition Audio Device" Device Manager. I checked that the drivers installed are later.

• Download Vista Home Basic multimedia

  I fear I may get flamed for this but here goes.

  I've got system of an individual that I need to reload for him. He got his COA stuck inside his laptop but, of course, it has long lost CD to install (Vista Home Basic).

  My question is, can I upload an image of the Microsoft site anywhere. I don't see how it could be interpreted as an attempt to hack, but maybe I'm missing something. I hate to drag a torrent engine.

  Any help would be great

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  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.

  Ask them if you can also make 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.

  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

  Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  Is the support clean and free from scratches?  Have you determined that it is the drive that is the problem and not the drive itself?  Did you ensure that the BIOS is configured to boot from the optical device before the HARD drive?
