• Windows complete PC Restore on Vista Home Basic, how to create a system disk image

  In the menu system for Vista Home Basic Recovery Options, there is an option to make a "Windows complete PC Restore". The description of this option says "restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. Well, sounds wonderful. My problem is to find the software to create a backup image of my personal computer first. I tried to create an image of my system disk by looking at the "Backup and restore" software that comes with Vista Home Basic. I couldn't find something that was talking about creating an "image" of my system drive. Only the options to back up the disks. Microsoft use the terms 'backup' and 'image' fairly loosely or as interchangeable terms? Im a little confused. My ultimate goal is to create a disk image of my system can be restored very quickly in the menu options of Vista Home Basic System Recovery.

  I guess I'll answer my own question. It seems that Vista Home Basics to create an image of the system has been paralyzed. OK, so I'll look using free Microsoft imagex utility then.

• Crashes in Windows vista home basic...

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Compaq-A900-pressario with OS Vista-Home-Basic. Due to some
  problems I formatted and reinstalled the OS from the backup CD. Now, he
  crashes every time I'm playing a video online, or perform updates online.

  the CPU usage is too high.
  The fan speed also with a lot of noise, etc.
  The laptop would become too hot in the areas of the keyboard.
  and he subsequently crashes.

  after him, the laptop does not get a few minutes as long as the keyboard area is still hot. After 30 minutes or more when the laptop gets cold, then it gets turned on and load the operating system.

  Everything started after I have format the laptop. earlier, it was working fine without any problems.

  Pls tell me what to do.

  Hello

  Since he used to work the question could be of Service Packs or drivers required.

  Did you apply SP1 and SP2?

  Center of Microsoft Service Pack
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/service-packs

  ========================

  Check with Compaq Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask the HP? Compaq
  Forums for known issues. Be sure to see if you have the latest drivers.

  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 Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
  (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This 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 system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
  site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 AS ADMIN - reset after each
  installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
  This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
  install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if 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.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• where can I download vista home basic 64-bit

  My computer crashed, and all I want to do is use my existing key code and reinstall Vista Home Basic 64-bit. It's an Acer and I do not have the diskettes to install for it. Where can I download a copy? Thanks for your help.

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  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, Acer is normallt ALT + F10 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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

• Acer Aspire laptop with Vista Home Basic Edition does not, System Restore does not, sfc, find corrupt files but do not repair. Need help!

  Hi, I have an Acer laptop Aspire with Vista Home Basic Edition that came pre-installed, so no records only the disk hard drive partition.

  I turned on my laptop today and it starts but the loading bar of stalls at the black screen with "(c) Microsoft Corporation" and dragging green. The slide bar will continue to drag, but nothing else happens which means that I understand even as much as the login screen. I rebooted and tried Windows recovery, but the only remedy to what he suggests is a restoration of the system, which does not have any point, I try to restore it.

  To remedy this, I have connected in safe mode and ran the SFC command prompt. It scans my system and told to find corrupted files, but he can't heal some. This is where my knowledge limit runs out. I don't know how to fix the files that the SFC cannot. (Also I created a journal using the findstr command prompt and checked but it say anywhere that it was unable to fix it so I'm not even sure how to identify corrupted files)

  As it's an Acer laptop, Aspire I'll try their eRecovery tool to return my computer to factory settings, but it won't work in safe mode, and as I said I can not connect normally. I tried alt and F10 at the initial boot screen when I turn on, it loads the windows files and shows the Acer "Please wait a moment" screen and then nothing happens again.

  I can't afford to get it fixed, and there is no chance I can get a new laptop. Any ideas/help? Thank you.

• I have a fatal error of the system on vista (Home Basic). Please help, it is said: __STOP: C000021a {fatal system error} initial session process or system _ ended unexpectedly with status 0x00000000 (0 xC0000001 0 X 00100450)

  That's what happened, I was using just disk defragment hard disk and since it takes a long time, I just left it alone and came to my laptop after a few minutes (about 15 minutes) and all of a sudden, I see my laptop is off.
  I turn it on again normally and after a while, the screen goes black and a blue screen with the message above appears. I press the "TURN OFF" button and it shuts down.
  That's the problem.

  I can not use safe mode or something, I tried everything in the F8 menu such as 'Last good known Configuration (Advanced)' and 'debugging '. Nothing works, all of this brings back me to the error message.

  The only thing I can do, is use the Startup Repair tool.

  It scans and tells me that he could correct errors, then I used the restoration of the system (to an earlier point), I haf 2 restore points but an error message appears and then they both became deleted. At the moment, I have no restore points.
  I can only use the command line Interface which directs me to "x: windows\system32\.

  I can use regedit (the registry editor). However, I tried another procedure step by step that earlier, I found that told me how to fix this problem, I typed in "System Root\System32\Drwtsn32.exe" and it says 'system is not recognized as an internal.... " »
  I also tried "System32\Drwtsn.exe" and he said: 'the path cannot be specified.
  I don't know what to do, I ask you is can you please help solve me this problem by using CMD and the registry editor. Please, thank you very much for your time.

  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  My laptop...
  Windows Vista Home Basic
  1.00 GB of RAM
  AMD Athlon processor
  120 GB hard drive
  ATI Radeon X 1250 graphics card (that I could remember)

  It's strange, so you are always able to get into the safe mode command prompt is that correct? If so try to type sfc/scannow and see if it finds problems

  regarding the komodia, you can stop this cycle by quickly tapping F8 and select Disable automatic reboot after the system failuyre you should give the sfc/scannow suddenly too who could fix

  Oh and the reason for which you've entered in this thing drwtsn.exe and itt said it does not recognized is because you're not on the right track

  in any case I doubt that may help, but if you know you need to learn how to navigate your system using the command-line... pretty easy:

  CD means change directory

  If you type cd-it will take you to the root of the system

  so go ahead and type of

  Note that you are no longer in the c:\windows\system32 folder

  now type
  CD windows
  CD system32
  Drwtsn32

  Note that you can type the first few letters of a file or folder tab and press on to fill in the rest

  in any case, who should start the program that you try to start but I think that your better off trying to run the sfc/scannow command. Let me know how you go

• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem
