Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

  • I have a 32-bit version of Windows Vista business with service pack 1... How he move to Windows7?

    I have a 32-bit version of Windows Vista business with service pack 1... How he move to Windows7?

    How to upgrade:

    If you have Vista:

    Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

    Custom installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
    If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

  • Failed to retrieve, I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop

    I'm doing a full restore on my Windows Vista desktop. When I click Start on recovery management, another box appears called Microsoft .NET framework. I hit continue, but it won't allow me to clikc OK to start recovery... At the end of the box, it is said when JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    These are the normal methods to use the process of recovery of the manufacturer:

    1. in a Vista operating system running, using the process of recovery of the manufacturer (Recovery Management, etc.), you use apparently.

    2. to start by pressing a particular key or set of keys (F10, F11, etc) according to the installer from the manufacturer...

    3. using the recovery disks provided, or the recovery discs that you made of their recovery Partition.

    If you cannot access or use one of these methods, you will need to ask for assistance from your computer manufacturer while the recovery process is installed by them, not by Microsoft.

    Hello peoples,
    I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
    Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

    PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

    EDIT: The error message went like this:

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Check for viruses on your computer. Remove the hard drives newly installed on the hard disk controllers. Check your hard drive to ensure that it is configured and completed proeprly. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0X0000007B (0X80599BB0, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

  • Windows Vista desktop refreshes, said the service is not running

    OK, I'm not very good with computers but learning a lot since mine has messed up. I have a desktop running Windows Vista. The computer his car slowed dow a LOT recently. I ran antivirus and malware. She had detected things and withdrawn. Still not making a faster. I tried to run an update and it says that the serivce is not running and the need to restart the computer. I did it several times and it always remains the same. Also the antivirus to update custom because he says there is a problem with the internet... but I'm not having any problem getting on the internet other then its slowness. Somewhere tells us about the service names and default paths and another says to format and reinstall Windows... anyway I have NO IDEA of what I need to do. Would appreciate any help. This is a computer that I use every day. And an antivirus may have expired between getting a new, I do not know if what counts. Also it is not updated since the beginning of September, because even the automatic update will not work. Yet once any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sorry if it's a little confusing because I don't know how else to describe this.

  • Very slow / freeze while working with photos in Photoshop Elements and Canon DPP

    Suddenly my Windows XP has become very slow or crashes when working with photos.  I have Canon DPP and Photoshop Elements installed, and in the two following occurs: I can edit a photo without any problem but when I try to work with a second picture the system slows down / freezes.  It unlocks after a minute or two each time.  I tried cleaners registry check disk, Disk Defragmenter, virus, etc. etc. scans and no problems.  All other works very well and this problem started just out of nowhere.  Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks John.  How do I disconnect from the internet?  I have a cable modem.

    ====================================
    I also have a cable modem and it has a button on top
    who's going to turn off/turn on the connection.

    If your modem does not have the button... you can
    Click on the "connecting to LAN" connection in the notification
    area of your taskbar and select Disable.

    If you go to... Control Panel / network connections you
    right click on the connection to the Local network and send a shortcut
    on your desktop. So, it is more convenient to right click...
    enable / disable...
