  Amazing!  I have already mentioned that I lived the problem of the "feature Windows empty window.  Seeing that my initially reported problem and seemed to have similar signs and given that I had a clear explanation on how to solve this problem, I did it - and these two problems are now history.

  In the two following links, you will find the description and method to solve the problem of the 'empty Windows feature window' and (b) a method for appropriating errant registry entries.

  4. made eRecovery

  ·        When the hard drive is replaced the system loses its characteristics eRecovery. These features are on the hard drive and cannot be reinstalled.

  ·        When reinstalling from the CD/DVD's you will lose the eRecovery program but the DOS version can still function, as if uninstalled, you can not reinstall.

  ·        eRecovery uses Ghost (as well as the use of our recovery CD) to create snapshot images.

  ·        If the PQService partition is removed using fdisk or a utility under Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.

  ·        If the system is recharged using the DOS version you retain the eRecovery feature

• I bought a DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit English 3pk DSP 3 OEI from Amazon don't need to Kit?

  Hello

  Ive just ordered a "Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit English 3pk DSP 3 OEI DVD" from amazon, and just realized, I need an OEM preinstallation Kit. And that I bought comes with 3 DVDs and 3 OEM.

  hendec123

  You don't need the Kit.

  Install in the usual way:

  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

• Get an "unknown error" so he was trying to make the Vista SP1 and the error code 800F081F

  I am running Vista Ultimate.

  I installed the hotfix for Windows (KB947821). I always get the "Windows has encountered an unknown error" with the code 800F081F.

  I am also having .net Framework questions (why focusing on my updates in the first place, I started). I have "fixed" but was lifting a msg of error at startup:

  > Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click on > continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If > you click on exit, the application closes immediately.

  > There is a parsing of the query error. [The line number of tokens = 2, token line > offset = 27, token s = error]. (I have more error msg if necessary.)

  After you install the hotfix, this error disappeared, but I can't yet download the update of the SP1 for Vista. It is a sine qua non for SP2.

  Help, please! Anyone? 8

  * Title *.
  I get an "unknown error" so he was trying to do the update to Vista SP1, even after the installation of "fix" and always error code 800F081F

  KonfusedKathy,
  I suggest that you do the following:
  Start by putting your system in a clean boot State.
  Run the disk error checking
  Run System File Checker
  Run the System Update tool
  If there are not only found problems that couldn't be fixed by one of them and then try to reinstall SP1.

• Vista Ultimate SP1 Pro: repeated failures to install SP2 and several failures repeat to install some other upgrades second request for help)

  Hello

  I'm a professional software developer, and in the last five days I have tried in vain to upgrade my Vista Ultimate Pro (purchased in the United States two years ago) SP1 to SP2 and make that the machine is in use.

  I would like professional assistance with this question and the advice to do a "clean" installation and annihilate the four days of settings and configuration of programs and software development tools is not a satisfactory answer: I want to know why I can't do an "upgrade" install: why 'upgrade install' disabled when I launch setup.exe from the original DVD / install install Vista?

  1 SP2 will not install (from Windows Update or the downloaded standalone installer from MS) (see my previous post here):

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/d499b50d-8f67-460f-ACF3-df2ff12ecec7

  for details and for a response of S. Bodin who gave no useful tips).

  2 56! other updates appear repeatedly as needing to be installed, and then they re - install whenever I have closed the computer, and, when I re - starts, they appear as being initialized, or whatever, once again.

  3 IE8 is already installed, .NET FrameWork 3.5 + is already installed (as part of the VS 2010 beta install), but they appear in the queue of facility among the 56 other updates.

  I can honestly say I've lost a lot of time and money dealing with the problems of Vista: it's one of the reasons I have not used for more than a year: I had hoped at the time of SP2, it would be stable enough to use.
