• Never managed to get Windows Search to work in XP Service Pack 3, but the Research Assistant works very well.

  Original title: Windows Search

  I've never managed to get Windows Search to work in XP Service Pack 3, but the Search Wizard works fine.  I tried to index the C: drive.  I clicked on 'Rebuild' under Indexiing Options.  The c: drive shows in Indexing Options, excluding some unnecessary subdirectories.  It's all buzzing around for awhile and then says "0 indexed items" and "complete indexing.   I use Norton Internet Security.  What I am doing wrong?

  If there is no anti-virus installed on your computer, it is likely infected. You need to clean it up before you can install an antivirus and certainly you don't want to try to install a Service Pack on an infected computer.

  You need to clean it up first.

• Vista service pack error 0xc01a001d code computer crashed

  Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update important"that was a Vista Service Pack, do not know if it was 1 or 2.  After having downloaded this my computer gave me an error code! 0xc01a001d! 28599/90454 (data \Registry\Machine\components\derived...).  Then tried to go into safe mode, I get an error code * STOP: 0 x 00000079 (0x0000007c, 0 x 00000003, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000006) with a blue screen.  I've read that I must redownload Vista on my computer, but I do not have the recovery disks, they did not come with my computer which is a HP Pavilion Slimline PC.  If there is someone out there who can help me to recover my computer running I would really appreciate it.  I am self-employed and need my PC that has my software of management of contacts on this subject, which is essential for my business.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

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

  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.

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

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  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 startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• My computer says it is running service pack 3, but I noticed that two service pack 2 were installed. Is this right?

  My computer has terrible fonctionnee and will not at all.  There a lot of errors blue screen and constant freezes.  It happens all the time.  The fact that service pack 2 is installed would be part of the problem?  Also, is it OK to enter the program records to remove a program if it does not appear in the section install/remove?  Thanks for your help.

  Hi RonGerdes,

  1. where to find two entries for service pack 2 on the computer?

  2. Since when are you the bluescreen or constant freezing on the computer?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• Windows 7 Service Pack 1 made my computer slow down

  Yesterday, I was pretty stupid to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 in my laptop HP dv6 - 1253cl and now all my laptop programs take longer to start, compared to the day before yesterday. I have installed any hardware or additional software in the meantime. The only difference is the Service Pack. My main program, Call of Duty world at war now takes FIVE times as long to start and also between screens. Answer now is too late and all programs now freeze for about 30-45 seconds before they meet again.

  I tried to uninstall Service Pack 1, but inexplicably, there are a ton of updates that have not been deleted.

  Microsoft does not control the quality of patches that release? What can I do now to find the performance that I had only two days ago?

  Hi daffy688,

  Windows 7 Service pack and other updates to Windows are released to improve the performance, reliability and security of the system, there could be several reasons why you experience performance problems on your computer.

  I want to clarify if you have uninstalled or removed Service Pack 1 from your computer.

  Try the following steps:

  Method 1: Run the troubleshooter of performance and then check

  Open the troubleshooter of Performance

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 3:   Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Hello

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  It will also tell you here what Service Packs, if any, are already installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

  Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

• Try to install Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, but says I have already installed

  I have problems of fixing a friends computer.  He is currently running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 with the OEM sticker on the bottom with the key, but he lost the installation discs.  To help make repairs, I have a valid Windows Vista repair disc and the Ultimate Boot CD on two different USBs.  The symptoms are:

  Three addons will install successfully, I restart, and they are uninstalled back again.  The installed updates window shows nothing.  I have the CBS.log newspaper and the CheckSUR.log if you do not want to see them.  There are a lot of mistakes in both of these balls

  If I download service pack 2 manually and try to install it, it says I need to install service pack 1 first.  If I download SP1 manually and try to install it, it says I already have service pack 1 installed.  If I try to install KB947821 it hangs the first time 75% and crashes to zero then.

  The machine has problems with the .net Framework.  I noticed that programs seem to corrupt and the only way to fix it is to clean the .net Framework and reinstall it.

  The computer has recently been scanned with a full scan of Norton and no errors found.  There is no antivirus or active windows security options because I was trying to get the updates to install.  I'm in safe mode with network currently.

  Things I've done:

  I read a lot about this problem with a recovery partition.  My recovery partition was the flag of boot top, so I spent my drive main and then booted from the disk to repair Windows Vists the flag and ran the Startup Repair.  He set up the main drive of OS as the boot partition, but that does not solve the problem.

  In order to exclude any form of corruption of MBR, I wiped the MBR and ran the /fixmbr tool to restore the MBR.  This does not seem to help anything either.

  There is a tool to repair WIndows Update, called a "Microsoft Fix it." I ran this in normal and aggressive modes without change.

  Please let me know what information you want.  I tried it for awhile and I don't think I'll get it without help.

  Hi Jeremiah,.

  Based on the information provided (especially errors in the CBS logs), there seems to be several packages in Windows that are damaged or corrupted. They could become this way through several scenerios (3rd party program interaction causing files to be moved or deleted, antivirus software can make a mistake of components to update valid as malicious, or even malware infection). Currently, there are a few options.

  You could try manually repair all the packages that are in your CheckSUR report and then try to run the updates again.

  Perform a upgrade in Place to attempt to repair the components.

  Perform a clean installation to repair all the features of the operating system.

  All these choices are not the largest road to go down, unfortunately at this stage with the damage caused to your system, these are the few options left to fix.

• Service pack 3 on my computer but the webcam I bought required service pack 2

  I have service pack 3 on my computer, but the webcam I bought required service pack 2.  What can I uninstall 3 and make 2?

  * original title - I have service pack 3 but need service pack 2 for the webcam

  Yes, you can do it.

  but there might be a chance that if you last updated your system to sp3, the driver would not work.

  That being said, go to the website of the webcam and review their installation instructions because they have updated their software or hardware cam driver for the component that you have purchased.

  either way, it seems that the cam was made during the time when xp sp2 was on the market.

  I have a right problem, my computer laptop need to format I have product key for windows vista home basic 32 bit service pack 2 but no cd, please help me

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
