• Lenovo T61 - 7663-AY2 uninstall Vista SP1 to SP2 and now cannot restart

  Hello community,

  I did something wrong with my Lenovo computer.

  I tried to upgrade vista SP1 to SP2 in order to continue to receive updates from windows, but I failed to improve.

  I read on a forum that to go if you have some difficulties to move from SP1 to SP2, the best thing to do is to uninstall SP1, in order to re-install again and after the update to SP2 is easy.

  So I uninstalled Vista SP1: KB936330 from my laptop and now it cannot restart. I'm facing the famous! 0xc01a001d! registry error.

  I tried all content restoration factory (MS DOS, restoring from the last restore point), but it cannot restart.

  Is there a usual thing do in this case, before the start in the order, he returned with the factory setting?

  My warranty expired on September 21, 2010, and I bought my computer in France while I am in England now.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

• The installation of Vista SP2 broke my computer

  I've lived in innumerable discussions on this site and many others to solve this problem the Vista SP2 has caused my computer to have. I have a Toshiba with Vista x 64 Home Premium computer and after several attempts failed to download SP2 months ago, I tried last night and after that he was 100% and restarted my computer it actually ruined my computer to be useful. I don't have a vista disc but a recovery partition. I already tried to use the restore point created by vista before installing SP2, but of course since it is vista this restore point fails and I have created several others before, but as if by magic, they are not put at my disposal. What is even more galling it broke my partition Ubuntu separate to be able load as well which makes absolutely no sense.

  I get the same error again and again as hundreds of others after SP2 installation on the black screen: ! 0xc0190036! 3029/89361 (dsound.dll) , I found a solution involving the use of partitions recovery tools command prompt to use this code:

  C:
  CD windows
  CD system32
  faultrep.dll.old Ren faultrep.dll
  output

  now, it worked the first time during this first stop in 1316/89361 on the startup process when he stopped to faultrep.dll, then of course another stop to dsound.dll happened and I tried the same thing, as advised in a support forum and it worked in the command prompt, but loading at startup it will pass fine faultrep since the fix but will not pass the dsound.dll portion.

  I ran a test of memory and a hard drive and it is absolutely not she. It was absolutely the installation of Vista SP2 all screwing.

  A lot of people with this problem have been very well when they could use their restore point, but of course vista is still inconsistent and would not allow me to restore my computer so now I have a $1200 thanks to the crap service Pack2 weight. I can log on to the recovery tools command prompt and open notepad.exe and file open to view my computers content together intact so much, I would like to know a solution for this problem. I also found a command line to uninstall SP2 with high fees, but because I can not connect via the mode without failure of all or the safe mode with command prompt, how am I supposed to use the instructions to uninstall sp2 via command prompt?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated since windows makes my computer a waste of money.

  The page I used to solve problems has been directly for the support site for windows and for exactly the same problem I have but he did nothing. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/975430 is the link, I tried method 1 is the system restore and that has failed, because it fails just about my only point that shows that I did much more than restoration. Method 2 is to rename the file that stops the boot process, who worked for the first file but not the second. Method 3 is the startup repair that does not work.

• Why can't I show my battery icon after installation of the Vista SP2

  I recently installed Vista SP2 and my Volume, network and power system icons have disappeared since that time.  I go into the bar area tasks and menus then Notification and check boxes for Volume and power network are grayed out, the clock is always accessible.

  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, I have to go back to a previous restore point, or do I have to uninstall SP2

  I had the same problem, but only with the battery and the sound icons, the network was ok. Chris-technician support suggested re-installing the drivers, after checking the driver updates. My drivers are up to date, so I reinstalled from the Device Manager and regained control of the display check boxes in the config of the taskbar menu. Strange thing is that I had to reboot twice more that the fix would "take." But now I have the icons in the taskbar and they work.

  Hello Sam980,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  You can try to access the command prompt in the Windows Recovery console and see if can remove Service Pack 2 manually from your computer. Here are the steps to remove Service Pack 2:

  Open an elevated command prompt window.

  Run the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

  For Windows Vista Service Pack 1:

  C:\temp\Windows6.0-kb936330-x86.exe x:C:\temp

  Note This command assumes that the file Windows6. 0 - KB936330.exe folder is in the C:\Temp folder

  For Windows Vista Service Pack 2:

  C:\temp\Windows6.0-KB948465-nnn.exe x:C:\temp

  In this command, NNN is x 86, x 64, or IA-64. The collapse of this tableauAgrandir this tableNote that this command assumes that the file Windows6. 0-KB948465 - X 86 .exe is located in the C:\Temp folder.

  We must create a sandbox environment before you can proceed to step 4. This allows you to manage safely an untrusted program. To create a sandbox, sandbox type md.

  To remove the Windows Vista service pack, type or copy and paste the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

  For Windows Vista Service Pack 1

  start /w pkgmgr.exe /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB936330-X86.cab /up s:sandbox

  For Windows Vista Service Pack 2

  start /w pkgmgr.exe /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB948465-NNN.cab /up s:sandbox.

  In this command, NNN is x 86, x 64, or IA-64.

  Once Pkgmgr.exe completed, you are prompted to restart the computer to complete the uninstall.

  If these steps successfully uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista, and this resolves the issue, you are finished. If these steps do not uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista, or if these steps uninstall the service pack but do not resolve your issue, you need to restore the system to a previous state.

  To do this, go to method 3.

  Here is an article that will give you different methods on how to remove Service Pack 2:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  If this does not work, then you can try to run CHKDSK on your computer.

  chksdsk/f/r

  Try these steps and let us know if it works.

• Vista SP2 wireless connection drops

  People, I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find a solution to my problem.  I've had my Dell laptop for about 6 months now and it worked perfectly, without any problem wireless connection.  On Sunday, August 9, I installed Vista SP2.  It updated no problem at all, but once he did his final reboot, it connected to my wireless router for about 5 minutes, then dropped connection.  Now, when you restart it only connects for a minute or two wireless then abandons connection.  I then uninstalled SP2 but it has not solved the problem with wireless.  My wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007 and drivers are all up to date.

  Anyone know how I can fix this so that my wireless signal stay tuned as he used to pre SP2?

  Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

  Link: http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/928233

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756/ (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows)

  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers

  To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

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

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Thank you and best regards,

• Cannot install Vista SP2; 'upgrade' disabled when I try and re - install by KB958044

  Hello

  After three days of struggle with trying to get Vista Ultimate (purhcased at the United States) SP2 update, and several failures of various updates automatically downloaded from Windows Update: I finally found and read

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/VistaInstall/thread/09c291bf-3868-4DFA-8004-139ec8018aa1

  MS response has been a link to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958044

  But when I try to follow the instructions in KB958044: 'upgrade' is disabled.

  I don't really wish to throw three days work of re - install my programs, tweak the settings, etc.

  Thank you, Bill Woodruff Bill Woodruff

  Hi Bill Woodruff.

  Because the standalone SP2 package failed with the error: '0 x 80070490', you can try to run Checksur (KB947821) to address corruption in the manifest of component maintenance (EC) and try to install SP2 Standalone Package.

  To run Checksur (KB947821) follow the mentioned below as follows:

  (1) download and run the system update by the following article preparation tool: KB947821. Description of the system update tool for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

  (2) put the computer in Cleanboot before installing the stand-alone Package of SP2:

  To perform the cleanboot, refer to:

  Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click Selective startup, Selective Startup.Under, clear the check box load startup items. Click the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all. Click OK.

  How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine if background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939671

  (3) try to install the stand-alone Package for Windows Vista SP2.

  (4) after Installation of SP2, put the computer in Normal mode:

  Click Start and type msconfig in the box start the search. On the general tab, select "NORMAL STARTUP". Click on apply, then OK. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  However if SP2 fails to install again, then you can have make a repair or Installation upgrade Inplace of Vista to install SP2 as mentioned in article KB958044 after uninstalling SP1.

  During the Upgrade Installation process, you will get the options go online to get the latest updates for installation and do not receive updates for installation. If you choose the option to go online to get updates, then it tries to download updates for the installation process, the windows updates required for Installation, including driver updates and it won't include all the latest Service Packs for Windows Vista.

  If you get an error "upgrade is disabled" when you try the Inplace upgrade, it may be due to a version of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 installed, you can not upgrade by using media that does not Service Pack 1. If you have a drive without SP1 and SP1 is installed on the computer as an update, you need to maybe uninstall SP1 first and then start the Installation of upgrade or you can arrange a full disc with SP1 to make Installation of upgrade by using the product key came with your upgrade disc.

  For more information, please visit the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951247

  If you try to uninstall SP1 to upgrade Installation, you can follow the mentioned below as follows:

  1) click Start, type Appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click Appwiz.cpl in the list programs.
  (2) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  3) click View installed updates. Click service (KB936330) package you want to uninstall, and then click on uninstall.
