Vista Home Premium boots with black bands on the sides of the screen and features limited after d/l-ing Windows updates
Hello
My Dell Inspiron 530 has recently started having problems starting. When I turn it on regularly, Windows Vista Home Premium starts with black bands on each side of the screen and your desktop extended / enlarged which does not display the start menu or the taskbar. I can navigate in the Panel, but when I click on the resolution of the screen, nothing happens and I'm unable to change the screen resolution. When I use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel, I can reduce the size of the desktop icon, but the taskbar, nor start menu appears on the screen. I noticed that I can't start programs when the computer is in this State as well.
I think that this problem started after I downloaded a game from 3 updates of Windows, but I do not know what updates they were.
I am able to start safe mode and the office fills the screen normally. I don't know what steps I can take mode without fail to solve the problem of normal startup, however.
Please let me know I you a glimpse into this situation because it is extremely frustrating. Thank you very much for your help!
Hello
Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.
You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.
But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.
You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:
'Remove an update'
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update
When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again
"How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72491-Windows-Update.html
Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:
"Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/
Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;
Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.
But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system
See you soon.

Solve a common problem of recovery with HP machines.If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.__________________________________________________________

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

Maximum RAM for 32-bit Vista Home Premium OS with SP2
I installed SP2 on my Vista Home Premium computer. I have a HP Pavilion dv6646us that comes with 2 GB of RAM. I want to switch to 4 GB, as my computer has been slowing down lately. The Task Manager icon has had 100% CPU usage. I read that a 32-bit system reads no more than 3 GB of RAM, but when I did a scan of the system, it was recommended, I'm going up to 4 GB, and I know that the computer can take the physical memory up to 4 GB. Should I go to 3 GB? My computer will use the 4 GB? Or I'm wasting money to no effect?
Thank you
Adam
According to HP, your computer can be upgraded to 4 GB total, no need to mess with the BIOS

I have a system of 3 GB/500 GB HD in Inspiron 530 Dell, Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I need to restart more frequently and the system works more slower and slower... so I think the upgrade. Can I move to a 64 bit OS in Windows 7 or 8 and keep the same hardware and software, applications that I already like Office 2007, Photoshop Elements, etc... ? What are the benefits to 64-bit?
Hello
There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.
It should be down with a clean install.
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

I am trying to embed vimeo files but they appear with black borders on the left and right edges
On vimeo, videos are in the right proportions. But as soon as I bring the videos in Muse with a video widget, a black border appears on the left and right sides.
Help with the help of Adobe Muse CC
The iframe that contains the video is set on a height of 650px. The proportions of your video is 16:9. Width of the video is of 1155. 1155px 650px x is 16:9, so your video is displayed correctly. If you were to try to force the video to fit on the edges left and right, someone viewing on a screen smaller than your will see the black bars at the top and bottom.

Removal/addition of Vista Home Premium boot files
I have a file (Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2) that lights up whenever I turn on my computer. How can I access the startup program so that I can remove this. I searched my hard drive, but can not find the startup program that contains this file. I want to make additional changes to the startup program as well.
Thanks for your help.
Al
Download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and install and run it (it's much superor program that comes with Vista). Click the all tab. Scroll through the list and you should find the file Adobe photoshop listed - check the entire list because there may be several entries. Uncheck the box to prevent it from starting at startup, and then click OK. You can then go through the other startup items and remove those that are not needed (i.e. most of them).
I hope this helps.
