  Hi Newsletter,
  Welcome to Microsoft Windows Forums!

  I suggest to convert mov files to a different file format and then run. You will need to use a third-party tool to convert mov files.

  You may need to get in touch with quick time if there is a problem with it.

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
  4 GB ram ddr3
  Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
  SM Bios version 2.4
  Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

  It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

  A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to avoid damage

  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
  Restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
  the following steps:

  Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed
  hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive
  to make sure that it is correctly configured and completed.
  Run CHKDSK /F to check the alteration of the hard drive, then

  Well, at least I know the hard drive is properly configured and completed, cause the Vista

  any Vista os will install very easily and quickly on this laptop.
  I really don't want or intend to play with the bios, cause I could finish with a fried motherboard.
  I will listen to any solution/suggestion of someone who can help me with installing XP.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Colonel biggs,

  Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

  This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

  · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

  To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

  Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

  Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

  If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

  Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

  System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start

  2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

  The operating system is displayed as follows:

  · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

  Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

  1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
  2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
  1. 1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
     2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
  2. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

  1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

• Office 2003 Pro with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  Office seems to work very well on my new desktop Quad core i7, Vista Home Premium 64-bit - except when I try to access clip art in Powerpoint, or any help function - it simply blocks the request. Machine not crushed, but I have to END TASK - and I said this in Excel and Powerpoint three times each. But all the normal functions of work. What is the problem?

  These links are useless - I already searched the corner OFFICE, and here, no one seems ready to post or admit that there could be a problem with VISTA at all. That's why I posted my question here, thinking that the problem is probably with the 64-bit version of Vista.

  "These links are of no use."

  These Office discussion groups have a very good record, with a lot of dedicated people who help for FREE.

  It is the Forum for Windows Vista update you send images ClipArt for PowerPoint questions in!

• Replacement of motherboard on PC HP Media Center under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
