• Windows Vista login password lost - how to get around?

  Hello

  I managed to forget my login password for my account, so I can't bypass the connection now. Is it possible so I can restore my password? My account has administrator rights.

  There are many ways to 'restore' a lost windows password... But I guess that you are not involved in anything like that, so it is quite difficult to explain. Takes a long time. You have sensitive data on your account? Otherwise I would advice you to reinstall windows. If you have sensitive data, you can try to take your hard drive to another computer and make an account on which now bears the same name as yours. You may be able to copy your data then.

• Toshiba value added Package for Windows Vista Version 1.1.3 on Qosmio F45

  I installed the new * Toshiba value added Package for Windows Vista Version 1.1.3 * for my Qosmio F45-AV413 and function keys was arrested for work.

  If I don't go back to the previous system, there is no action that I can do to make the works of buttons again.

  I tested with Vista Home Premium which is installed with the product, tested with Vista Business from scratch, and none of them work as expected.

  Well, if someone could help me with this question I really thank you,

  Marcelo.

  Have you already tried to install an earlier version of the software function button on your system? I think the new version is buggy and if not already a newer version is released, you should have the old version until a new one comes out.

  Please check if the old version works, it shouldn´t be a big problem for the single download from the Toshiba driver download site.

  See you soon

• Blue Screen installation updates (KB2419640) & (KB2478935) for Windows Vista

  I get the blue screen when I install the above, and this update was 12/01/2011 and continues to reappear after I restore the system to January 9. So I turned off auto updates but isn't this bad since I DON'T want to prevent remote control?  What can I do to fix these two updates. No blue screen before these updates, but as soon as I say yes to reboot on blue screen. What is a L1T (level a techie) to do. I need this computer until I get a job!

  Thanks to the intervention of Halima S... I'm ready to tackle this problem without restoring the system. My only concern is that this command deletes previous restore dates and that the option is permanently deleted. However, first I have to print the steps to follow for a clean boot and re-read. I will work from there... Still down thanks!

  Hi Apple2DellExperience,

  1. are you able to install some other updates on the computer?

  2. what was the message on blue screen?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  It is not recommended to disable the automatic update.

  These updates will be revived again after the system restore.

  I suggest that you manually download and install the update, check if it works.

  Also, make sure you disable all the third-party program installed on the computer during the update installation process.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Update for Windows Vista KB980248: 80070017__ error Code

  I tried to install the update for Windows Vista KB980248 but receive the error Code:80070017

  "There was a similar issue, published with the proposed solution, being (1)" run the Chkdsk.exe too check the drive for errors"and 2" rename the download folder.  The two were not successful.

  I also tried a number of different methods as suggested by MS technical support (see below), but none succeeded, so I hope someone else has also encountered this problem and has a solution.

  The steps I've already done: clean boot. downloaded and installed the update manually; high my privileges as a user profile; Services activated window important; disabled user account control; Run the component tool to reset Windows Update in default; Not Windows Installer and then re-recorded Windows Installer; use the System File Checker. installed the updated system preparation tools.

  Any help appreciated

  After reading the process to carry out a repair for Vista installation, I was not confident I could do given my lack of COMPUTER skills and feared that I would have done something wrong.  But while browsing the site there are other suggestions that I adopted. For example, I downloaded Registry Booster, ran the System File Checker (which I had already done but thought, no harm to do again), and other suggestions are in response to similar questions like mine.  I also ran an another Chk Dsk (I also run this previously).  To restart, as he was driving through the verification process, he said,' windows replaced bad cluster in file name \window\winsxs\x8A9C8~1.226\ 8915cambria.ttc'.  And I was happy, because it was the file you advised has been damaged.  I don't know exactly how it happed, as I said, I had perfomred chk dsk a numer of times before.  I was successfully able to install the update for Window Vista KB980248!  I was so happy after all the anxiety.

  Thank you very much Andrew, for your time, assistance and patience. Very much appreciated.
