The installer of Windows Vista is not allowing to install or uninstall programs and my laptop came not with a CD/DVD installation, what to do?

A few days ago I had some problems playing Halo 2. The program itself has suggested that I have reinstall. So, I uninstalled Halo 2 without incident. However, during my attempt to reinstall Halo 2, I received the following Message: redists\vcredist, msi: the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly. Contact your support team. Click Retry to try to complete the step failed, or click Cancel to cancel the installation.

An error occurred when copying files in the background. An unexpected error has occurred while the application was copy files to your computer. Please try to reinstall the game, or contact customer support if that does not solve the problem.
After contact with the teams of tech games Halo wasn't any help, solution phone a 1-888-xxx-xxxx, a refund of my game. I am bypassing the conversation that happened because the individual basically blew me off the coast. Run the verification tool file system, basically said that I had a corrupted file, and you run the recovery tool. I did this, but without success. I tried to research on issues such as the best of what I know how, only to discover that I need to use the Setup Windows Vista Home Premium CD/DVD. This is another problem. When my wife bought this laptop, she received only a couple of recovery disks. So with my limited resources, I'm in this river with pots of Earth on one side and on the other hippos and and a thumb in a plum for a paddle.
I am in great need of a useful solution.
Thank you...

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    Hey Hashiriya Allan

     
    Microsoft licenses part of it is that a single license is for a single installation
    You can not have vista installed on two laptops using the same product key
    and if vista was preinstalled on your old laptop this is an oem license and cannot be transferred to another machine

    Hi scoobydoochick,

    1. what recovery disc do you have?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

    Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

    Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

    Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.

    Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
    6 let me know if it works.

  • Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

    Hello world

    I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

    I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

    So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

    Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

    Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

    If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

    Thanks in advance!
