Updates to Vista Home Premium
I can't use my laptop. Following error message: "Setup updates step 3 of 3." 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer. «The laptop will then close and restart with the same error message.» This loop is more than 4 hours. I had so many problems with Vista, it never ends. I want to use my laptop as soon as POSSIBLE. Help. G. R. Rutherford Frame
Hi Rutherford,
If you have a Vista DVD tries to boot from the Vista DVD and click on install now rather try to click on fix my computer now and in the tools, click System Restore, restore the computer to the date it was working fine. Incase you do not have the Vista DVD try to start the computer in safe mode and perform a system restore or tent from start to the last know good configuration.
The steps should help you to fix the problem.

MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT DOES NOT UPDATE AND I KEEP GETTING THIS ERROR 80073712 CODE.
"PLEASE HELP ME"!http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/957310
Above is resolution of Microsoft to your error Code.
But it is perhaps not very simple to fix.
1. try Method 1 to above website. Run (Checksur.exe) system update readiness tool
2. do you have Service Pack 1 installed Vistra?
Method 2 is in the list.
3. method 3 is to do a Vista repair install.
You need good Vista disc to do this.
4. If none of the works above, you need to reinstall Vista, using either the recovery disk/s or the recovery partition.
Save all data before you do, because it will be lost when reinstalling.
Good luck with it.

Hello
IAM doing the free upgrade from windows vista home premium to windows7 home premium but with no luck please help.
Migration: Windows XP and Vista
First, Windows XP and Windows Vista are not eligible versions for the free update, so you should have to buy a full version license.
Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition
In addition, Windows XP and Vista users will need to perform a custom installation, any attempt to start the installation of Windows 10 in legacy versions of Windows will trigger the following error message:
Learn more: how: perform a customized Windows installation
Keep in mind, the restoration works in Windows 10 can't stand not installs custom, so if you decide to go back to Windows XP or Vista, you have to reinstall it using original reinstall media. So try to create a backup of your installation, if it is important for you.

I am computer illiterate, where the help required
Vista Home Premium to Vista Business is NOT an upgrade path.
You will need to purchase a FULL version / license of Vista professional and do a clean install of it.
How to do a clean install:
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
http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/918884
MS advice on the conduct of clean install.
http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm
A tutorial on the use of a clean install
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp
Super Guide Windows Vista Installation
After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

Update will start and when it gets to about 46 percent, he will quit and give me the "failure: 2 updates.
My firewall was disabled, as has been suggested elsewhere for this problem. I was able to dl and install 3 5 updates that were available, but the latter two will not work.
Thanks in advance
BProblem solved. I decided to wait and try download on my home network, I would have used my last download NIS 2010 if I uninstalled and did a clean install. When I tried it on my network home, which is not the case nearly as safe as the College network, it worked fine. Just wanted you to know and say thanks for all your help.

After that I installed the free updates to service pack 1, the system goes through 2 of the 3 steps, while it recharges, then the system does not boot? To get the computer to work again, I need to run the repairer of Windows, which allows you to restore the system to an earlier point? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Do your system restore, then:
Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window
> then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it
> Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".
When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.
> or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it
See you soon.

sfc/scannow foud the corrupted files after upgrade from Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Hello
It is an event that I went through:
(1) recently I received a bunch of updates to Vista Home Premium 32 bit, after I did the update I decided to perform sfc/scannow task and this is the error message I got the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to fix them." Details are provided in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS.log newspaper. For example c:\windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log
Repair of system files change will take effect after the next reboot.
(2) so I did restart and then try to run the sfc/scannow task once again, but I still got the same message I described in step 1 again. So basically sfc/scannow function did not repair the corrupted files.
(3) the next step, I decided to perform a repair Installation of visa which took me 10 hours to complete the task, once the task of upgrading of repair has been made and before the windows update, I ran sfc/scannow task and this time he finds any corrupted files, but after I updated windows sfc/scannow result was the same as step 1.
It is obvious to me that one of the updates of the origin of this problem, but find it me hard to pinpoint that one. So I am writing this e-mail to help and I hope that the problem will soon be solved. Please let me know if you need me to submit the CBS.log file for you to review thanks in advance.
Kind regards
