• Windows Vista corrupted by the major update

  I installed MS Office 2010 on my wife's PC. This triggered the valves on the pc that has frozen on startup black screen middle to the top and now does srun various services. I can't connect to any network and various other bits of surface and parts seem to be broken.

  Symptoms:

  No network (main problem is a network service location does not start)

  No print spooler

  AVG does not start correctly.

  Worst thing is: I can't find restore points, the OS disc (probably 1000 miles away in another country) or the license sticker is on the bottom so is carried by 6 years to be used in the tower.

  It has a partition repair but the time before disks big enough to contain a copy of the full backup of the operating system.

  So I have several questions:

  What is my identical to the product key product ID?

  Can I download an appropriate Vista disk or do I need a replacement from the manufacturer of the laptop?

  If I buy a Vista Windows 7 upgrade, is upgrading possible thanks to a corrupt system of vista?

  Is there a way to patch up the system without completely re - install windows?

  You are lucky, Acer recovery disc for him as they do not them still carry for many models that had preinstalled Vista.

  You could look at this idea however.

  Are you sure that they provided a Vista disk with him?

  Acer normally responds on the use of the recovery partition to reinstall the operating system configuration (new condition)

  With an Acer, you press the left Alt + F10 at Boot keys to start this process.

  Hello

  ·         What is the exact error message you get?

  ·         That says Check Disk?

  If the MBR becomes corrupted, it is probably a hardware failure. Assuming that a /fixmbr is set, the cause may be RAM. Try to run the Windows Recovery mode Memory Diagnostic tool and check.

  Original title: Virus turned away from windows. Has managed to remove it, but now the system has missing parts.

• Install new Vista, corrupt registry, 0 x 0000225

  This is the first time I tried to install Vista on this desktop computer, but I am also having bad to do a XP Pro install also.  The reason for the installation was that I could not start Windows at all after the power went out while the PC is in sleep mode.  When thiat, he was running XP Pro and then I decided that I would be upgrading to Vista

  I use a motherboard ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe with an AMD x 64 processor, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA 7600 GT graphics card.

  I can boot Windows CD installed fine, but once that he only the initial reboot after installing Windows, I get an error that the registry is corrupted and it gives me the code 0 x 0000225.

  Here is what I did to solve it.

  • A run KillDisk and tried to reinstall, no change
  • Extended ran diagnostics disk HARD and RAM, no error found
  • Use the console to repair Windows XP and ran fixmbr and fixboot
  • Tried to reinstall XP Pro, gives BSOD on XP loading screen

  Hi Wafflechunk,

  1. do you format the hard drive before doing the clean install of Vista?

  If no important data on the hard drive, then I would say allows you to perform a clean install by formatting cells.

• Applications not no projection in all PROGRAMS on the start of Vista after the virus.

  Hello

  My portable computer with windows Vista has recently been infected with a virus that I have now deleted.
  But all my application to 'All programs' files have been deleted.  I managed to download a zip file of the links standard for Vista Home Premium which is my OS and pasted these in the start menu for all users in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.  However, I don't know how to do to back up all my personal applications.
  I really can not re - install all the, they are too many and I am not sure that I have even all disks and downloads at hand to do. The task would be enormous.  Is there a way to solve this in the registry? or any other method? Can someone direct me please?
  I tried to use system restore, but I have nothing but the most recent restore points, and it did not work.  I am also concerned about restoring the registry entries virus files.
  Please can you let me know if something can be done to solve this problem.  I am a user experienced and confident enough in taking a challenge complicated if you are available.
  Look forward to a response, thanks a lot

  Forget the junction points.  They are only for backwards compatibility (and are not called points of junction of the system, only in the documentation of the system).  I don't think that the Start Menu, Documents and Settings folder (the point of junction for your profile among others) will seek to replace the one right that should be there.  I might try it if it was me, but it's not worth the risk for you (it could cause more damage than it solves - and I'm not going to try it just to see if it works).

  It's a shame to system restore because this would probably solve the problem quickly and efficiently.  Perhaps you should consider maintaining that a few points spread over time even if they do not place - you are short of space that you need to restore space?  I didn't know you had only a very current restore point or I have suggested the procedure.

  If you're short on space, here are some suggestions:

  A great many things affect speed and performance, and the amount of space available on your system - especially the existence of various files and which is loaded on the system.  There are ways to handle this in Vista (and that you follow all the suggestions) - and of course the amount and type of RAM and the speed of your processor and motherboard (but I'll just discuss here the software solutions - you can go to your supplier/manufacturer of computers for hardware solutions, if some are available (I) for example, am maxed out at 2 GB of RAM in my motherboard and there is no motherboard better available for my laptop model).

  To enhance your speed, to using Disk Cleanup: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76073-disk-cleanup.html.

  Also do optimization: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.

  Go to start / search options and type msconfig and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Go to the Startup tab and uncheck any program that you don't need from start.  This will probably be the majority of the items here - otherwise most of them (some are needed as the AV program but more are there to make open source programs more quickly and make you believe that they are more effective).  This will free up a lot of RAM and a great help to make your system faster (but maybe not as long as you'll be able to see the difference - but maybe according to how many useless stuff loads at startup).

  You can perform some of these tasks (and more that aren't entirely related) using http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm (which also seeks the malware).  I do it on a monthly basis only as part of normal maintenance, and I suggest you do the same.  Make sure that you select a full analysis - it will take a few hours (mine can take about 5-6) but can works in the background so start when he has enough time to complete.

  You also want to have good AV programs and HAVE on your system (so no malware running in the background drain resources).  Windows Defender is a good PROGRAM.  The new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx is a great AV / AM program that has one of the least impacts on resources and the performance of the system, according to reliable sources and it does the job very well.  If you are using MSE, you don't need really Defender (but you would with any other AV program).  I suggest also download http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and it works every month to catch anything that might miss MSE/Defender.

  If you follow these tips, and do this regularly (at least monthly), then I think that you will have faster to a machine as it is able to give material.

  Perhaps one of the recovery programs will work (try Recuva if you have not already - this is a very good).  It is possible that this only works with the data files and not with files system (which would explain why you're having without success) because I never used them to recover before system folders (I have always used the system restore).

• Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

  Is it possible Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

  This has happened

  Don't know how many times

  Vista corrupted after installing Firefox.

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

  I highly doubt that installing Firefox would cause a problem like this (assuming that you have downloaded Firefox from an official Mozilla download mirror site), but I'd be curious to know what caused the installation of Firefox crash at the start.

  If you have access to the internet with another PC, my advice is to go on a Windows forum (such as this one - http://lounge.windowssecrets.com/index.php ) and ask for help with trying to get Vista to boot before doing anything as drastic as reinstall Vista. I've never used Vista myself, but older versions of Windows have a Safe Mode which launches a bare minimum of services, and there is also a ScanDisk routine that can be launched.

• Received a call saying that the license for my computer had been corrupted by a virus.

  So about half an hour ago I received a call from a man claiming to be windows saying my computer driver's license starting with numbers ' #$@ "(don't remember figures, he gave me), had his 'corrupted some virus licence' (I think his exact words). I immediately thought that it was potentially a scam because I heard other scam type things that happen on the phone these days, but temporarily, I said 'ok' and he told me that they had tried to contact my computer and have been unable to do so and that he needed to look at my driver's license and give him some info to check that it has not been damaged. That's when the alarm went off in my head and I told him "that I currently have on my computer and it was very good and for him not to worry about it" and then, without waiting for an answer, I hung up.

  This is the story, I didn't give any information other than that I was on my computer as he called it. I wonder if it was a scam, I just played it, and if my computer could potentially be compromised. I run Malware bytes now to scan my computer, but I'm always a little worried.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Vista seems to be corrupt JPEG files which XP was ok with

  JPEG files which I have kept for many years and transferred on CD have been very well until I changed from XP to Vista a few years previously. My work with videos and still images has been very well with Vista t but glancing back older jpegs, I find that the copied versions on XP to Vista have a high percentage of images corrupted. It's complicated by the fact that Vista will not recognise the CD with XP.

  Can I recover files corrupted on Vista?

  There are forum copious comments on Vista corrupt JPEGs, yet Windows answers hardly addresses the issue (on the last page of 50 pages of customer problems).

  I wonder if I've lost these photos forever?
