• 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.

  See you soon.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Logitech desktop microphone 600 does not work on the vista desktop

  I just bought a logitech 600 desktop microphone. It is not a usb version, Ive plugged into the outlet of the microphone on the back of the tower. He acknowledges in the recording settings, but when I talk to it does not work? its not mute and volume is at 100%

  Someone knows how to operate?

  Hello

  ·         The microphone was working fine before and if if remember when you make changes to your computer before the onset of the problem?

  Here are the troubleshooting steps you have to try to solve your problem.

  Step 1:

  (a) click on start - Control Panel

  (b) change Classic view - sound - recording tab

  (c) right-click in the empty space under Select recording device

  (d) show disabled devices: If the microphone is disabled enable it

  Try you restart the computer and let Windows Vista again detects your sound card again.

  Step 2:

  Make sure that you have installed the latest compatible audio drivers Windows Vista version, if not we strongly recommend to download the latest audio driver for your Web site to computer manufacturers for your sound card or onboard audio chipset.

  Plug the microphone of your sound card / audio card mother (usually pink in color for micro) pine

  Step 3:

  After that, go to control panel > sounds and Audio devices settings. Check to see if the microphone is detected by Vista. If this is not the case, check if you have selected microphone front or rear, as vista acknowledges their separately unlike windows XP. Correct the configuration of the microphone rear if necessary.

  Check if the device is working properly by testing it on the other computer.

  Hope that helps,
