Vista SP1 will raise the error "Reinstall Windows"
Hello
Recently, I had to do a system restore my computer to factory caused by a virus and had to redo all my old updates. When I went to install SP1, all of a sudden my computer won't start up. It displays the message "installation of the Service Pack: stage 3 of 3" and when he gets to 62%, it goes to the home screen, the screen goes black and I get repeated error: windows must be reinstalled.
When this happened the first time, I did system restore to a point of pre SP1 and my laptop started fine. A second Setup attempt gave the same error. I have an another system restore using a restore point of the Dome and the computer starts well, but how to install SP1 without making my system unstable?
Thanks for any help you can offer

The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7
I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation? A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new. If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.
In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista. Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

Windows Vista crashes due to the update of windows
I just reinstalled Windows Vista 32 bit on my Lenovo PC after experiencing problems due to a virus. However, during the execution of that Windows update, I started noticing problems because my computer would freeze randomly. Neither the mouse nor keyboard would allow me an entry stop properly or to restart the computer, so I had to cut the power, whenever this happens. on the way back - turn on the computer, I noticed that the operating system is trying to update something and fails or succeeds every time. I know not why this problem occurs because I have a decent amount of DDR2 RAM (2 GB) and have even stopped to try to alleviate the problem of automatic updates.
could someone please tell me what I could do to solve this problem, I try to install service pack 2 and see if this corrects the problem even though I have my doubts, it will be

"Receive the error message" Windows cannot find a driver for your network card.
Original title: unable to connect to the internet. Perhaps driver problems?
I installed windows 7 on a blank hard drive.
Everything seems to be fine. When I open solitarie it is said ' Harware acceleration is disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. "A mistake is over that I noticed that I can not connect to internet.My ethernet cable is fine, he hooked directly to the wireless router. so I troubleshoot-made it and the error is "Windows could not fine a driver for your network adapter" HELP Please thank you.If you have recently installed Windows 7, you must also install the device drivers for your hardware. Windows has some drivers shipped with the operating system, but away from it all. They are not necessarily the best drivers. For example, you may be using a generic video driver with limited capabilities.
Looks like you need at least the network adapter and video drivers. It is best to get their form your computer factory web site. You need to get the Ethernet disk using another computer to get to the line at the start.
I recommend that you check device manager and see what other devices may need to update.
