• I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista

  I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!  Matt

  Matt,

  The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
  Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
  Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

  Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

  Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

  If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

  Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
  Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
  Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

  Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
  After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

  If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-

• 10 free of charge during the first year Windows update - include Windows XP and Vista?

  Hello

  I read in the press last week that Microsoft will offer a free upgrade of Windows 10 for users of Windows 7 and 8 for a period of one year after its initial launch.  My question is Microsoft will expand the offering to users of Windows XP and Vista?

  As long as the material can cope with the new operating system - and it seems to be able to scale up to a certain extent - surely, it would be more beneficial to all parties that as many possible Windows users get the new standard rather than race systems not supported / dangerous or ineffective.

  I know several users who are quite happy with their existing equipment, but are showing more concern with the lack of support from their systems and they cannot afford to upgrade their hardware right now.  There are also many companies who do not want the additional costs of purchasing new computers if its computers are fit - for-purpose (except for the lack of OS support...).

  If the grand design is to get Windows facilities as 10 in the first year, then it would seem preferable to offer either to these users:

  (a) a free upgrade like any other Windows user

  (b) a small fee upgrade - say £10 - get to 10 Windows

  Right now, this offer is only available for Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 users, but if you migrate your installation of Windows XP now to preview Windows 10, you will receive the promotion.

  Hi all

  as I see it, these updates so much expected of Moduslink begin finally to flow, so I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to share experiences, I gathered in recent months.

  First of all, I did a LOT of research before Vista was released and decided to do the upgrade for the following reason:

  -Format and clean install not possible: MS changes its licensing policy so that upgrades can be installed since breast the previous installed Windows, which means that all OS reinstalls require XP installation first. Earlier Versions of Windows allowed by using the 'Previous Windows' CD as Validation for the upgrade.

  For this reason (and also not really want to wait until April for Vista), I decided to buy a "System Builder" edition I intend to buy the Home Premium, as this edition would be enough in fact for me, but that the Ultimate of SB edition was only 70 Euros more, I decided to go to Ultimate. Here are the benefits that apply to my case:

  -Ultimate is capable "Multilanguage": my Windows is the German Version and I love being able to "Switch language" when I want to.
  -Full backup PC with Image: I'm not hink I need to talk about the importance THAT is ;-)
  -The 'Ultimate Extras' are indeed pretty cool (no obligation, but 'Nice to have')

  I thought that these reasons for 70 Euros ;-) indeed

  Before installing my Vista, I gathered all the drivers and programs that I needed. I researched if the installed Applications that were pre-installed with XP on my laptop would go with Vista. My laptop (Purchsed 23.12.2006) came up with the following applications preinstalled:

  -MS Office OneNote 2003
  -Intervideo WinDVD 5
  -Sonic Record now

  WinDVD and Sonic are on the drivers CD that I created under XP. OneNote is located on my C: drive (I think C:\Windows\Downloaded programs, but I do not remember).

  Comaptability:

  -Sonic: Doesn't work well with Vista. Since I already have Nero 7, it didn't matter to me. Nero works fine with Vista.
  -WinDVD 5: doesn't work well with Aero. I decided to purchas WinDVD 8 gold for 29 Euros and will not regret!
  -MS OneNote 2003: works well with Vista with 1 annoying side effect; If you are running Vista with a Standard (Non-Admin) user account, you WILL be asked to accept the license agreement EVERY time that you start OneNote. This is because MS records the acceptance of the EULA in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office), where a Standard user cannot write to. To save the trouble of this just do the following:

  Open Regedit as an administrator and navigate to the key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office and right click on "Desktop", go to "Berechtigungen" and give users full access to the key. After that, all standard users only be asked once to accept the EULA.

  A Note for the drivers of Toshiba:

  The drivers for the Grapich of Nvidia chip, as well as the WLAN Intel 3945ABG chip are exceeded. You can get the most recent driver for WLAN directly from Intel. Because the laptop manufacturers rarely updated their video drivers (which is very BAD for players), I strongly suggest that you visit www.laptopvideo2go.com. These guys make the effort to get the current Nvidia drivers and modify the INF file to be formatted for mobile devices. It's a 'Must Have' for your IE Favorites!

  Reading DVD with Media Player:

  If you suffer from poor quality of playing DVDs (jerky video), then take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932649/en-us

  I hope that sharing my experiences with Vista so far is able to help some of you to adapt to Vista. Vista is really a great operating system it can work fine on Toshiba laptops!

  Good luck in your endeavours of Vista!
