• Downgrade from Vista woes (a6042n)

  Today, I went down my HP Pavilion a6042n for XP desktop computer. Lost PC recognition/drivers for audio AND networking. In Device Manager, there are a few items that have a yellow question mark by them.

  Fortunately, I have an old HP 8580c that barely runs to get the drivers on the net, but I can't find.

  If you don't have XP with SP 2, get it first:

• 800736B 2 of error Code woes. Windows Update (Vista SP2) fails to install a bunch of updates

  I know that this problem was posted a lot everywhere on the internet (even here), but I would like to explain a little better than everyone else and maybe I can somehow get to the bottom of this.

  The problem:

  I am trying to update my acer 4/5 years, grandfathers aspire running Windows Vista. Whenever I try to install the following updates:

  http://i.imgur.com/SBxv8.jpg

  I get 6 updates installation failed with error code 800736B 2. When I turn the computer off, he pretended to go through the process of 'completion' facilities update 6 (you know what I mean, it says after that windows has disconnected the user is installing updates). It takes about 15 minutes, then when I re - turn on the computer and check the updates again the exact same updates are always listed.

  The attempts of a solution:

  I downloaded and used the update tool for Windows Vista (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821) system. It shows the exact symptoms of the same as the rest of the updates. It "installs" (which lasts about an hour. Said it was successful. Then I restart the computer, it 'full' Update 1 on 1 which have been installed, when I opened the tool (after reboot), it says that I have to reinstall the same update (KB947821). So obviously it cannot be installed but for some reason any thought that he didn't.

  I also tried to run this tool in safe mode and had an error that says that I can't run it in safe mode. Sweet.

  I wanted to download the updates manually (I was hoping that they would be in the form of some .exe or something) then run their safe mode, since you can't use windows update in safe mode. I looked around online a lot, but could not find a way to download the updates manually. I found a bunch of guides tell me how to do, but non of them work. My guess is that they removed the support for it.

  If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do without having to reinstall windows it would be awesome. My grandfather is really exhausted all of this current vista installation so wipe everying is probably a bad idea. I would like to avoid it at all costs.

  Hello

• MS Paint woes - can only be the older version of Vista paint ran in Windows 7?

  A new higher fantasy news and unnecessary features, although it lacks the essential controls and a clean interface to the last Vital for the work of pixels. For not to mention it is system brushes automatically anti-alias color, ruining all hope of contention of color and leaving the pencil tool with just a pixel thickness avilable.

  Windows killed usefulness of painting on behalf of novelty for me, as all those who really want to get into digital art would be crazy not to use another program other than this piece of _ made to look pretty for the sake of marketing. Spriting and SNES were all that painting had left, but the stupid features have limited it to make it obsolete.

  Now, rants side, is there a way to bring back the old version on Windows 7?

  I thought of downloads or transfer from my old computer... What process is easier, and how can I do it?

  NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO SUGGEST OTHER PROGRAMS, PLEASE. I need to paint and paint only.

  This includes Paint.net, Graphics Gale, Cosmigo Pro-Motion, Gimp, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, ect...

  Pixel artist,

  I just found something that might meet your needs: http://www.mspaintxp.com/

  It is downloadable for free. I know it's been over a year that you have requested, but better late than never, if it works.

• Music from Apple on Windows Vista

  Hello

  I want to subscribe to Apple music etc, but the upgrade will not take effect, apparently due to the fact that my laptop running Windows Vista. Of course, this is not normal? How can I subscribe to the Apple's music on the Windows Vista system without being forced to invest in a costly upgrade of my operating system?

  Hello

  You cannot use Apple music on Windows vista. iTunes 12.3 or later is required for Apple music. If you want to use Apple music you need to update your operating system (computer?).

• I'm running Thunderbird ver15 under Win Vista. Gmail considers ver15 a low security application. How updated to a version that works with Gmail?

  This worm is working great for years. Suddenly, Gmail could not accept my sign-in. I have auto day together in Thunderbird, but it won't go past worm 15. Only after that I changed the setting in Gmail to enable low security Gmail applications would allow me in my emails via Thunderbird. I could connect to Gmail via the web very well, but not via Thunderbird. Could this be a problem with Vista?

  Thank you
  Richard

  You can set if "OAuth2' for SMTP server outgoing.

  When your problem has been fixed can you mark the thread as "solved" Please?

• Basics of microsoft, as installed on vista, still works after that I have switch to firefox?

  I am moving from Vista to Firefox and want to know if Microsoft Essentials will continue to run after I made the change. MSE has preformed well for many years and I would like to avoid having to change to another anti-virus program.

  Actually, you will still have Windows Vista, even if you use Firefox rather than the browser Internet Explorer (IE) that comes with Windows.

  Another browser of your choice requires no modification of your security software. Also, it does not replace your security software. Unlike some programs that require special configuration steps, Firefox and Microsoft Essentials should get along very well.

• Every time I have download and install updates to vista security I have reinstall mozilla firefox, why?

  Whenever I have download and install the vista security updates I lose Mozilla Firefox. The program and the icon still exist but do not respond. By clicking on the icon or clicking on the program files does produce absolutely no response.
  So any time I install updates, I have to run internet explore and firefox redownload. Most annoying. Help.
  P.S. Yes, firefox is my default browser.

  Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
  trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
  update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
  Firefox to connect to the Internet

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
  • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

  Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

  When I open the installer of Windows 10, or media creation tool, that's what's happening:

  10 Windows Installer:

• When does end for Windows Vista?

  I have 9 that is set as my default browser and understand the extended support will end in April 2017 according to Microsoft. I was not able to upgrade to Windows 7 on this P.C. & would like to know if there is no date scheduled for Firefox Support in Windows Vista? I set Firefox as my browser default if Vista will be supported for several years if taken in charge as it is now. What kind of support will be offered, as appropriate, in the future?

  A date has not been set. Actually WinXP SP2 & 3 are still supported by Mozilla for Firefox. I doubt if Mozilla support for Vista will end anytime in the near future.

  Overall, Mozilla does not select arbitrary deadlines to end operating system, Windows 2000 was the last to fall by the wayside on the need for Mozilla to update the program that was used to set up Firefox. The new version has not only supported Windows 2000 or Windows XP and WinXP SP1.

• import from windows mail emails from a broken vista pc

  My 32 bit Vista computer died - power, card mother etc. I have Acronis Disk full backups on a daily and external drive Acronis cloud of my files 'user '. What I don't have is a Windows Mail systems working group to export my old emails. When I run Thunderbird, are there emails in any way I can get these old backup, even if it means going from one place to another to get them.
  As a temporary measure, I am now on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
  If someone can help, but needs more information, let me know.
  Thank you.

  If your drag / drop off the mail will find themselves in some folder you \drop in.

  A better solution would be to use the add-on from the import export tools if you have several nested folders as it will import a folder and the subfolders. The add-on will recreate your folder structure. It you choose to import the messages in a folder and its subfolders.

• 13.6.0 is the same in Windows Vista like in Linux?

  A friend uses Thunderbird 13.6.0 under Linux. I get emails on AOL, and because they come as text files and not HTML, AOL is able to display them with wildly different lengths of lines, never more than 72 characters, regardless of the width of the window and no graphics (smilies). The 72 character line length, which is the default in Thunderbird plain text seems to confuse AOL mail view. This does not happen in Yahoo Mail or G-Mail. I suggested that he could check the box to Rich Text / HTML and not text gross to < < tools > account settings > Composition and addressing > box > >. He said that there are there. We both have the same version (13.6.0). Linux is involved in this? His version 13.6.0 offer different settings? I can find the checkbox here on Thunderbird with Windows Vista, but we can't seem to find out its based on Linux version of Thunderbird.

  Are the slightly different menu, if the names are sometimes.
