• Recent problem with very slow internet browsing on all browsers Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

  Separated from this thread.

  Hi all I'm having the same issues as Theresa in the thread above split. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit service Pack 2 with all the installed updates (automatically done!).  Within 3 months, this PC at home that was formerly an excellent navigation device became very slow when you browse using IE, Firefox or Chrome. It takes 30 to 50 seconds to load any web page (Yahoo, eBay, etc.). I followed all the instructions suggested to Theresa in SafeMode by Bill Smithers. Resulted in nothing other than a few cookies and Wetherbug I killed. I also run McAfee total protection and Spybot S & D every 3 days with nothing found.

  I have reset my browsers to the specifications of the factory without change.

  Comcast is my internet provider high speed and my speedtest returns 65 - 75 MB/s download and 11 Mbit/s upload very regularly. I connect directly to the bridge. I had Comcast out and they swapped unity Arris of a unit of Cisco beefier but that changes nothing. Other devices on my network domestic perform very well and do not have this problem.

  When I browse a site the CPU spikes up to 88% use in 45 seconds and is stable at 50% usage 1.7 GB memory.

  The only thing I can infer is at this time that something happened to the operating system during automatic updates or some other setting has been changed.  I could use any help or suggestions you may have! Otherwise, I love this OS and have not had any problems. Thanks, Dhoffa

• Vista Home Premium 64-bit network problems

  I just bought a new Hp laptop running Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I can't access files shared on my home network. My network is made up of two desktop computers under Vista Home Premium (32 bit), a file server under Linux Zubuntu, two laptops running XP (32-bit) business and three laptops running vista Home Premium, both 32-bit and my new 64-bit machine. The last two days I've been set up file sharing on the network and addition of new network hardware. I can access the file server of all computers on the network except the HP 64 - bit, both Vista and XP machines and I can access shared folders on each computer from any other computer except for the 64-bit HP. Network discovery is very slow and sometimes find other machines and sometimes does not work, and he never finds each of them. Even if a computer is discovered, I can't connect to it, I get the following message is displayed, the "error code 0 x 80070035 than the network path not found." I also tried to mount shared folders as a network drive using the name of the server and the ip address and the same error message. I tried changed the compatibility level lm ntlmv2 only ntlmv1 or v2 using regedit, but that had no effect. I also tried to disable the autotunning with no result. If I ping the computers I get varying results; for a computer, half of the packets come back with the other half, timing, for everything else the time out requests every time. I also tried to disable the firewall and various other things. As far as I know, all computers work well together, Vista, Linux and XP, except my computer laptop 64 bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time,

  Thanks for all the help, I'm not sure what the problem was caused by, but I have disabled the function of my router routing and establish linux as my new gateway machine and now I can access everything! I think the problem might have originated with the dhcp on the router but I'm not sure... It was a belkin n + wireless router. Everything is good, now, however, thanks for your time!

  Hi Colonel biggs,

  Welcome to the Forums Microsoft Vista

  This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  · A program on your computer interfered with the installation of the service pack.

  · There is an inconsistency in the store of Windows services. The store Windows maintenance is a required component to install service packs.

  To resolve this problem, try each resolution in the 'General resolution"and the"Advanced Troubleshooting"section in the order in which they are presented. After trying a resolution, try to install the service pack again. If you can't always install the service pack, try the next resolution.

  Resolution 1: Install the stand-alone package for the service pack instead of using Windows Update to install the Service Pack

  Note If you have already tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack and you have encountered this problem, skip this resolution and go to resolution 2.

  If you don't know if you've tried to install the stand-alone package for the service pack, it is recommended that you try the following steps to install the stand-alone package for the service pack. By using the stand-alone package to install the service pack, you eliminate installation issues that may be related to Windows Update. This simplifies the troubleshooting process

  Solution 2: Run the system update readiness tool

  System Update tool checks your computer and trying to resolve certain conditions that can interfere with the installation of the updates or other software. However, before you download the tool, you must determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64 bit version of the Windows Vista operating system. If your computer is Windows Vista installed, and you know which version you are using, go to the section "how to download the system update readiness tool. If you are unsure which version your computer has installed, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start

  2. collapse this includes it in the Search box, type System, and then click System in the programs list.

  The operating system is displayed as follows:

  · For a 32 - bit version operating system, 32-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  · For a 64 - bit version operating system, 64-bit operating system appears for the system type under System.

  After you determine which version of Windows Vista, your computer is running, download system update readiness tool.

  Resolution 3: Close or disable any applications that may be running, restart the computer and then install the service pack

  1. Close all applications and restart your computer.
  2. Once your computer has restarted, disable any antivirus or any antispyware application that can load during the startup process. You can normally disable the notification area application. This area is located in the bottom right corner of the computer screen. To disable an application in the notification area, follow these steps:
  1. 1. Right-click the icon of the third-party program.
     2. Click Close, disable, outputor an equivalent term in the list of options. If these options are not available, you may open the application and then close or disable in the application.
  2. As soon as you close the antivirus or the antispyware software, try to install the download package full of the service pack that you previously downloaded from the following Microsoft Download Center Web site:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)

  1. After completing the installation of the service pack, enable the antivirus or the antispyware software that you disabled in the previous steps.

• Vista Home Premium SP2 installation problems

  SP2 says its installed but Windows Update shows it as an available update. When I view the system information, it still shows only installed SP1. I tried the standalone install and I got error 0 X 80070564 connection failed. SP2 shows as has been properly installed on Windows updates the history but it shows also the lack of installation after 2-3 hours to install, restart, then back to sp1. I stop all AV, Spyware, adware, Windows Defender by other items on the SP2 installation problems. I also ran system preparation and the System File Checker. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on computer laptop HP DV5 Dual Core. I have not found anything on the failure error connection displayed in the standalone sp2 update.

  Hello vinniegolf, welcome.

  I would recommend trying to create a new user account with administrative privlages and you try to upgrade to SP2 from here. This will tell us if it has something to do with the internal components of your user account.

• Office 2003 Pro with Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  Office seems to work very well on my new desktop Quad core i7, Vista Home Premium 64-bit - except when I try to access clip art in Powerpoint, or any help function - it simply blocks the request. Machine not crushed, but I have to END TASK - and I said this in Excel and Powerpoint three times each. But all the normal functions of work. What is the problem?

  These links are useless - I already searched the corner OFFICE, and here, no one seems ready to post or admit that there could be a problem with VISTA at all. That's why I posted my question here, thinking that the problem is probably with the 64-bit version of Vista.

  "These links are of no use."

  These Office discussion groups have a very good record, with a lot of dedicated people who help for FREE.

  It is the Forum for Windows Vista update you send images ClipArt for PowerPoint questions in!

• Why Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installs not Windows updates?

  I am not able to download and install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit windows update.  This Gateway laptop has always been able to quickly and easily install the update by clicking windows update.  However, since the introduction of Windows 10 it has been a lot of your time trying to install updates.  I had this same problem with Windows 7 too.  Never before there was no problem for the two operating systems.  Installation of Windows updates has always been easy and fast without any problem.  Running the troubleshooting isn't good and hunting error codes has been unproductive.  What the hell is happening?

  Hi Joe Cool1:

  'Check for updates...' crashes and slow Windows updates currently affect the SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users, and I doubt it's a coincidence that Microsoft has ended mainstream support and only provides support for these two operating systems.  The evidence points more to a problem with the Windows Update Agent (WUA Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll v7.6.7600.256 has not been updated since June 2012) and the problem tends to be more prevalent on computers with slower processors and a limited amount of RAM.

  There are step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates doesn't work do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours which should speed up Windows Update for both for Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.  The instructions were for users of Vista, so when you reach step 4 just use the appropriate links of Win 7 on the page Web of Dalia http://wu.krelay.de/en/ (Win 7 x 64 if you have 64-bit Win 7 OS;) Win 7 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Win 7 OS) to download packages update stand-alone correct (.msu files) for missing Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates on your Win 7 machine.

  You can also find some useful tips in entry 9 August 2016 Microsoft MVP Woody Leonhard on his Woody on Windows InfoWorld blog titled 2 easy steps to speed up scans of Windows 7 update that includes detailed instructions for the use of circumvention of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/.  Woody's workaround for Dalai to speed up Windows Update to users as well Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.

• How to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

  Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Here's my question: -.

  1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?

  2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-

  (a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?

  (b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?

  (c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?

  Looking forward to the responses, thank you.

  Do you a clean install from 32 bit to 64 bit.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx

  Link above is how you get 64 bit DVD, if you have a retail license.

  You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail

  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

• Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

  I have a laptop Dell Insperion 1501 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I tested the ram and hard drive and they check well. I deleted the C partition, formatted the drive with the dell windows vista disk and reinstalled vista. Then I tried to download the updates of windows, but when I click on any button for example, the Start button, it flashes opening and closing in a fraction of a second. Also, when it starts, he won't on the desktop unless I have a key on the keyboard, any key.  I can't seem to update of the bios at the moment is still as dell reference years ago. No error messages or bios beeps. I was able to install all the drivers on the driver disk but can not get updates. This also happens in safe mode. Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Guess what! It is the keyboard that was causing the problem. I disconnected and used a USB one and it works normally. I guess her grandchildren or the cat must have stuck a key on the Board. When the computer is off, lightly rub your palm on the keys to reset.

• Where can I download windows 7 ultimate 32 bit to upgrade a Vista Home Premium 32 bit?

  Hello

  I have a little problem. I have this Toshiba laptop comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit version. It came with a free upgrade to Windows 7. Toshiba not did me not a CD for Windows Vista or 7. I was too lazy to update. Now my computer has some problems, so I thought I would just upgrade to Windows 7.

And if they are available, he will ask the product key for windows 7, or I will be able to spend with my key for windows vista?

  I'd appreciate your help.

  Kind regards

  Abbas

  Hello

  There are free downloads of Windows 7, but you would need a product key to activate it. It is therefore of no use to you.

  You should contact the manufacturer of your laptop, in your case, Toshiba and get the Windows 7 Upgrade in the time to take advantage of the offer.

  This is the upgrade Option:

  How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

  The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program takes place June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time to upgrade Option.

  Unfortunately, it has expired.

  For more information about the offer, please contact Toshiba.

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista, as you say you have problems with Vista.

  This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  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.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  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.

  With a Toshiba, you press 0 (zero) to the starter to start the process of recovery back to the factory settings.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
