• Vista Home Basic - update SP2 fails error 0xc0190005 code

  I have and Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista Home Basic installed.

  Today I downloaded and started to install SP2 and all seemed well until reboot, where I am treated to a black screen showing what I presume to be names of files or registry entries because they are updated. The line begins by xxxx/64281 and a dewcription who follows between parentheses.

  This process never ends because it showing:
  "!! 0xc0190005! 22412/64281 (\Registry\machine\schema\ wcm://Microsoft...) »
  The end of this line appears truncated for me so I do not know which file or registry entry that is a failure on.

  I tried to repair using startup options and he didn't offer not a choice of restore points, just tells me it is either restore to a previous state (which stops working after about 5 minutes and then he's here doing nothing for so long let him - more than an hour!) or disk errors fixing which translates to reset and the same error once again product.

  Safe mode does not start and restore the last good known eventually brings us to square one.

  Is there someone who can translate this cryptic error code and point me in the right direction?
  Please Don ' t just point me to an article and if you copy and paste a response, at least be so kind enough to make it readable.

  Vista SP2 offered to your computer through Windows Update or you try to install manually?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista SP2 issues until August 30, 2010. Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location.

• Windows Vista Home Basic activation Code is partially dissipated.

  I decided to change my operating system to windows Vista Home Basic. The problem is 2 letters on the license window have worn the label on the side of the computer. Is it possible to know what are the missing letters?

  Hello

  I suggest using a flashlight and magnifying glass and try and read the numbers.

  Others suggest to take a photo and enlarge the photo to read the doors numbers.

  _______________________________________________________

  Or try these methods.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  ______________________________________________________

  Install another operating system could destroy this option:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

• Download Vista Home Basic multimedia

  I fear I may get flamed for this but here goes.

  I've got system of an individual that I need to reload for him. He got his COA stuck inside his laptop but, of course, it has long lost CD to install (Vista Home Basic).

  My question is, can I upload an image of the Microsoft site anywhere. I don't see how it could be interpreted as an attempt to hack, but maybe I'm missing something. I hate to drag a torrent engine.

  Any help would be great
  Thank you

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Can I switch to Win 7 SP1 of Vista Home Basic (without Service Pack)?

  Hello, currently I run Vista home basic 32-bit without the service Pack installed. I did once try and install but I got was a never-ending startup sequence (the BONES do not start) and I had to restore a backup copy of previous Vista before installing SP1. So it's just a quick question: can I go directly to Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 without having all the service packs currently? I don't have a lot of free time to do a clean install and restore programs and games, and configure them.

  Microsoft recommends that you have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

  You can try to install without MS, if you wish.

  And if you have a problem, follow this information.

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

  QUESTION ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO START WITH MY ORIGINAL WINDOW VISTA HOME BASIC 32 BIT DVD

  Hi all

  I was delivered with a window vista home basic 32-bit MS CD original while I buy Lap Top, I reinstalled windows multiple times using the same CD, it is used since October 2009, now when I try to boot from it, its does not work. What can I do in this situation?

  Is the support clean and free from scratches?  Have you determined that it is the drive that is the problem and not the drive itself?  Did you ensure that the BIOS is configured to boot from the optical device before the HARD drive?

• I can't reinstall windows Vista Home Basic Edition to my Compaq presario laptop

  Hello
  I want to format my 'C' drive and reinstall windows Vista Home Basic Edition for my 'compaq presario laptop.

• Update Vista Home Basic to Premium Edition Office to allow access by laptop running Windows 7

  Could someone please advise if I have Vista Home basic desktop Home Premium so I can use laptop running preloaded Windows 7 Office Access? I saw advice that W7 can only comm if Office Home basic is updated! If PORTABLE PERFORMER pre-installed w7 MAY ACCESS DESKTOP. Is this possible and how?

  You can move from Home Basic to Home Premium, but Microsoft sells more than Vista.  You need to find a copy of retail, Vista Home Premium (not OEM) somewhere like eBay.  You can use either a copy of the upgrade or full license to do the upgrade.  eHow has an article on the actual upgrade process.

  http://www.ehow.com/how_6297506_upgrade-Vista-Home-Basic-Premium.html

  The article mentions that you need some version of upgrade, but they speak the old Anytime Upgrade which is no longer available.  Ignore this.

• Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation.

  Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

  original title: VISTA VS. XP

  Your technicians say talk to HP

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

  You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

  I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

  Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.
