• Windows Vista will not be closed

  Computer was fine until these last days and turns off will not. That I disconnect and it will close, but the screen stays on the same message and I have to hold in the power button for 5 seconds to close

  Shutdown problems are usually caused by a program or process that won't come out gracefully. The program or process may be against malware, or may be legitimate (for example a pervasive like Norton or McAfee antivirus). If you use Norton or McAfee product, uninstall it and replace it with a better program like NOD32, Kasperksy or Avast (free). The Windows Firewall is enough for most people. Shutdown problems can also be caused by old/badly written drivers so make sure that all drivers are updated, especially on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  A.the first step should always ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.

  B. If the computer is free of viruses/malware, the drivers are current, and no program Norton or McAfee is installed, then do boot minimum troubleshooting to see what program/process is the culprit:

• "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

  Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hi JohnHorky,

  Step 1:

  First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

  Step 2:

  Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

  f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

  Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

  Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

  h. close all applications and restart the computer.

  Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  Step 3:

  Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

  I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

  Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Pavilion dv6-1350us Entertainm: Pavilion dv6-1350 us running Windows 7 will not be closed

  Have not used my laptop for the last 45 days and have not installed anything new. W7, 64-bit running. Just used on these days and it will not be closed. When I stopped it just hangs and displays that says: "if it please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installation of update 1 of 1 ". This can last for hours.

  I stop it manually with the power button which of course translates message when I start again that «Windows did not close properly»

  I thought that since I had not used the computer laptop or literally turned on for about 45 days, that maybe I was missing a few important Windows updates, but when I go to Windows update via Control Panel and click on Windows Update to search for updates, it "just hangs" it thus, showing never updates available. Last update of the W installed was 26/03/16 and laptop worked OK.

  Any ideas?

  I downloaded ccleaner pro (first edition) and scanned the hard drive. I checked 'fix all issues' and it worked! Whatever files or conflicts on the register or wherever was causing the 'hang up' were eliminated obviously that my laptop was able to stop. :-)

• Vista will not be updated

  Vista will not be updated. I get the error 80072EFD. I added the Update Web sites for my trusted under internet options sites, off the wall of fire, DLed and used MicrosoftFixit50202.msi. Yet I still get the same error. I do not use any other firewall. Any help out there?

  Only one 1 antivirus/security suite applications should be installed & loading at startup at any given time. Since you do not know what free trial could come preinstalled on the computer, I have to have executed the two removal tools in the steps below.

  1. Uninstall Avanquest System Suite 10 & reboot. [1]

  2. make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled!

  3. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  3 b. download tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  4. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  5. click right on the file you saved in # 3 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

  6. click right on the file you saved in # 3 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

  7. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty in DEFAULT then AGGRESSIVE modes. [2]

  8 restart once again & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] I'll tell you right now that Avanquest applications are notorious for not properly uninstall. Unfortunately, there is not a removal tool that I know.

  [2] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

• Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

  Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

  What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

  start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

  When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

  An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

  So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

• Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

  I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

  Try to use SeaTools for Windows.  See also: Seagate Installation Assistance

  Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

• I've got qcad Professional installed but vista will not open save dxf files. I get dxf is not an application valid win 32. Is there any solution for this?

  I've got qcad Professional installed, but vista will not open save dxf files I get a file... dxf is not an application valid win 32.
  Is this a common problem?
  Is there any solution for this?

  You, of course, took umbrage to my last post. For that I apologize, there was no pejorative intention. I am a newbie in the forums and am digging my way along. I have marked your answers answers by mistake, I'll try to fix this.
  I solved the problem, I tried to open files in the Qcad application by clicking on the list of recently used files. It will not work in a new session.
  The correct procedure is:-
  Open click, Qcad - click file - open (this opens the index page of Qcad from the saved files) - click the required file - click Open.
  There is no problem, with the exception of this incompetence of users.
  Thank you for your time and assistance.
