• HELP - All the USB device does not not - Vista Ultimate

  I have a desktop P4 computer and ran on Vista Ultimate for more than 1 year (window updated constantly). Everything worked smoothly until one night, all my USB devices don't work anymore. Based on the Device Manager, the USB are ok, check my BIOS, everything remains unchanged.

  now, I got tired of reinstalling the same operating system and at the end of the installation, all USB devices do not work.

  Please can someone advise what should I do to recover my devices USB working again.

  It is the motherboard or the operating system has problems?

  If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer of your computer to update BIOS that may help you resolve the issue.

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Full backup Vista Ultimate issues

  • I'm running Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS 420 computer.
  • I want to buy an external hard drive to back up my entire system. I have a 1 TB hard drive. Should I buy an external hard drive of equal capacity for full system backups?
  • I understand that a particular configuration of the HD is needed both internal as external aren't required to do this. Please notify.
  • I have just to follow the system repair and restore my system function to accomplish the full system backup you want after you connect the external hard drive via USB?
  • This process gives my full operating system with all the files and programs at the time of the backup? I have Spyhunter security such as McAfee and installed systems. These programmes will be operational in the backup of the entire system on my external hard drive?
  • Can I repeat this process to update (capture) my system at future time status?
  • Assuming a complete HD failure - is all I have to do is turn on my external hard drive and I will then be able to function as before the failure with the last system restore point was I saved? Is this correct? Or do I have to use my external HD restoration in a different way? This is assuming that my internal HD is completely dead and my screen is black.
  • Thank you, in advance, for your kind consideration of this request.

  Hi Ray,

  The option I would choose would be your first. At least if you run all the programs 'before' security safeguard, you are sure to have virus/malware free backup. In most cases, unless you are a large company, weekly backups would be nice rather than every two weeks - unless, of course, you do a lot of alterations for a week to your files you need to backup all the two weeks.

  Hello

  already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

  It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

• Satellite P205-S6257: Chicony USB Webcam does not work after upgrade to Vista Ultimate

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate Home and now my Webcam does not work. When I tried to update the driver, I get a message that says that Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

  The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  I succumbed to find the drivers on the Chicony website. My laptop is a Satellite P205-S6257 and the Toshiba is not yet display on their support site. I don't have a disk for webcam.

  Any suggestions?

• Licensing issue? I need to replace the default motherboard with a 'Detail' education Vista Ultimate Upgrade on top of XP "OEM." Can legitimately transfer my license everywhere and how?

  I am currently a computer on which I already installed XP OEM and upgraded to the edition upgrade Vista Ultimate retailers through the ultimate steal Microsoft.

  [Reminder]

  The problem I have is that I've recently updated my graphics card to a card of Nvidia 7300GS card Nvidia GT240 on which my motherboard was properly assessed. However, due to some unfortunate circumstances (I dunno if it's associated graphics or an electrical surge problem, I suspect the latter as the card is fine) my PCI Express slot is fried! This resulted in the motherboard being unable to start any card in the PCI Express slot and gives a series of BIOS beep error codes. I even dug my old graphics (7300GS) and he was still unable to boot. Accordingly, I need to replace the motherboard for the PCI Express slot works if I use a graphics card.

  [Problem]

  Since the license Vista Retail Upgrade that I use currently is the edition of 'detail', can I simply change my motherboard everything and turn it back on, or is it more complex because it is installed on the high XP OEM that is bound to the default motherboard? What are my options?

  I have to buy another XP OEM license and reinstall everything from scratch? What happens if I didn't reinstall and just changed the motherboard and drivers updated my current installation? Is - is this legitimate?

  As I understand it, the Windows for OEM license allows a person replace a motherboard of 'default' (GA-M55plus-S3G in my case) for a replacement under certain conditions, mainly as for everything. Am I entitled to it? If so, what motherboard would be I can replace by although it is considered an upgrade? I have in mind an ASUS M4A78L-M as it is cheap and comes with connectors female jack audio 8 channels on the backplate was on my old motherboard.

  My main confusion is to know what license applies to me because of the upgrade process, retail of Vista or XP OEM? Upgrades medium I improve my driver's license?

  I would like to solve this problem without canceling my licenst but just don't know how?

  Thank you very much for any help or advice.

  Zemian.

  It is not Microsoft.

  You need to set the XP Reinstall 1 > and then perform the upgrade to Vista.

  We cannot tell you what motherboard you can replace it with.

  I have x 64 Vista loaded which should show 4 GB or more, but it reads still 3062 Mb.
  After reading a lot, I find that some people differentiate between the processor and system capacity, others are not.
  Is it possible to have a 64-bit processor in a 32-bit system?
  Why this issue has not been resolved?
  If it is a 32-bit system, why should we bother x 64 put OS on it?

• Satellite L355-S7812 - no sound on Vista Ultimate

  Hello!

  I have a problem, my L355 lost sound, I use Vista Ultimate, something happened and everything seems to be ok.
  I see that volume works on monitor, I can see indicators sound on monitor but nothing does not come from speakers and headphones.
  What can be the reason?

  Is it possible to force the laptop to produce all the sounds in mode bios to make sure whether it is hardware or software (vista) problem?

  How is it with warranty, I got it as a gift, it was bought in the USA and I live in Poland.
  I only printed confirmation of payment from my uncle who paid for it and all the papers that came with it.

  As the seller claims, there is warranty of world for this laptop...

  Best regards
  Adrian

  Hello

  I doubt that it's a hardware problem, so your warranty won't help because warranty doesn't cover software issues.

  I don t think that this laptop was preinstalled with Vista Ultimate.
  Have you installed this Vista with your own hands?

  In your case I would remove the sound card in Device Manager and could restart the laptop.
  The audio driver should install again and the sound card should appear correctly in Device Manager.
  You should test it!

• Satellite P300 - 18 M; The clean installation of Vista Ultimate failed

  Hello everyone,

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P300 - 18M. Now, I want to install Vista Ultimate on a totally clean system. The installation runs, but at the final stage (end), which takes about 2 hours, the screen becomes black with just the mouse showing pointer. I sometimes triep to leave from one day to the next day, she who does not help.
  Anyone who has ever heard of this problem and knows how to solve? If all goes well...

  Greetings.

  Never heard of this issue, but it would be interesting to know if you can restore the laptop using the recovery disk Toshiba of origin.
  It work?

  By the way; Did you include the SATA drivers before starting the installation of Vista?

• Vista Home Premium VS. Vista Ultimate - what differences

  I bought a laptop with Vista Home Premium O.S. and I experianced with GFgo7900GS graphics issue.

  Now I have the opportunity to buy Vista Ultimate two times cheaper than in stores, so here's my question:
  What will be the difference in performance of games when I'm going to change this system?

  I heard that it is the only version of Vista, where can I play games without problems.

  Hello

  Sorry, I have to disappoint you, but on your overall performance of the system, nothing will change. It will probably cause less performance, because Vista Ultimate is so
  overloaded with graphic additional stuff (like animations, aero, blablabla.) and this guy who tells you that the games should run faster, no. CLUE bat, on operating systems or at least
  Windows Vista.

  If you want to learn more about the different versions of Vista, then type the words "vista ultimate performance" in a big searchengine like google and try to find out and get a
  unfamiliar with the system how Vista handles existing resources.

  You will find that the only system to play games at the moment is Windows XP.
  THE only ONE, because XP needs about 50% less system resources, there are more drivers and drivers for XP give you much more performance as vista drivers.

  So, I hope that I could give you some good information on this topic of 'Vista '. It s a little more complicated than you think, so I wanted to give you a BRIEF description. :)

• I can't get Age of Empires III to install on my Vista Ultimate 64 system!

  I tried to install several times without success.  I don't even get an error message!  The installation box runs through the routine of preparation and then closes without any report either.

  I did some research and found quite a long thread on this forum since 2009 by a person called Summerbreeze who seemed to have a similar problem.  After several posts back the thread died suddenly without any apparent resolution.  Apparently, it is possible to get this game to work on Vista because I keep seeing questions and reports on various hardware issues with Vista users.

  I am running Vista Ultimate 64, SP2, on a workstation Intel S5000VXNSATA that has two processors dual core Xeon 5130 and 4 GB of RAM.  My video configuration is a dual monitor connected to a graphics NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI card that carries the 256 MB of RAM on board.  I have 2 hard drives of 160 GB configured in RAID 0, but I have only about 50 free BM for the moment.  I am currently compressing readers in an attempt to free up space.

  Any of my equipment from the list of incompatibility and I certainly sufficient power to run this thing, then why the problems?

  Thank you

• Need help to install Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 - error 0x800F081F - standard corrections do not work

  I have trouble getting Service Pack 1 installed on Windows Vista x 64 final.

  Current issue: SP1 does not appear as an update, and I have not yet installed.  Windows Update tells me that I'm completely up to date.

  History (memory, may be some errors):

  • Performed the new installation, including Vista Ultimate x 64 disk erasure (MSDN)
  • Updated to current with windows update
  • Installed Office 2007 Ultimate (MSDN) (don't know where update what happened)
  • Active Windows (could be a problem doing this after you install updates?)
  • Installed CPU usage, network, gadgets sidebar discs counter meter
  • Installed Live Family Safety
  • Installed Chrome
  • Installed Google Apps
  • Google Pack antivirus installed
  • Installed Google Earth
  • Attempted a manual installation of SP1 - fails with the error 0x800F081F
  At the present time, I can't get a manual of installation of SP1 to work, and Windows Update tells me that I am up to date.  -> System control panel tells me I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, but does not list all service packs.  He also confirmed that the x 64 edition is installed.
  Steps for debugging:
  • Installed the drivers for the sound card motherboard
  • A ran complete chkdsk on drive to repair bad sectors
  • Ran the system file checker - find corrupted files, but can't fix
  • Journal CBS does contain no [SF] cannot repair the entries
  • Installed continues to update the system tool - tool does eventually make a update facility - who settle whenever I run

  System Information Link: http://www.filedropper.com/systeminfo

  [1] this is a new installation, so nothing has been pre-installed.

  [2] the only antivirus that was installed is the one that is included in the google pack.  I took it...

  [3] SP1 does not appear as an update

  [4] I'm strongly considering just clean wiping and [do a clean install]

  A1. If Vista was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it and you use the OEM disks (or hidden restore partition) to reinstall Windows, any antivirus free trial which initially is preinstalled on the computer will be reinstalled, but not valid.

  A2. You have therefore no anti-virus application installed. I see.

  A3. There are several prerequisite updates that must be installed before SP1 will be offered. See...

  Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation via Windows Update
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343

  A4. Since you do not have an antivirus application installed, it would be your best bet. See...

  Cleaning a compromised system

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
