What is 2012 Vista on my computer - a scam? easy way to remove?

Vista 2012 has been on my computer and I think it's a scam. It's in my icons and I don't know how to remove it. In addition, my credit card was charged #59.95 for 1 year service. Credit card co. alerted me of the scam. Help, please! I'm not real knowledgable of the setting of the computer.

Your credit card has been debited?  This means that someone has entered this information. ;-)

Yes - it is a scam.

  • Two versions of vista on my computer laptop processor double the an on the E: drive the second on the C: drive

    When you turn on the computer, you get a boot menu and must choose which version of vista to use. I want to delete a single version, does anyone know how? I had to use a vista boot disk to fix another problem with him and it worked but left me with two versions of vista on my computer. Now, I want to remove the redundant version.

    Hi Shanks23,

    To change startup options in Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, use BCDEdit (BCDEdit.exe), a tool included in these versions of Windows. You may not use Bootcfg or NvrBoot to change boot options on Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, even if you can continue to use them to modify the options to start on earlier versions of Windows.

    To use BCDEdit, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the computer.

    Edit the start menu in Windows Vista and later versions

    In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, new boot loader entries are not added to the boot menu automatically. You can place the boot loader entries in any order.

    You can use the displayorder option to set the order in which Boot Manager displays the boot entries in a multiboot menu. The command has the following syntax:

    bcdedit displayorder {ID} {identifier}...

    The ID is the GUID of the boot entry or a reserved identifier, {Current}). Separate each ID with a space. Remember to include the curly braces ({}).

    For example, to add boot DebugEntry entry to the start menu after the {current} entry, use the following command:

    bcdedit displayorder {current} {49916baf-0e08-11db-9af4-000bdbd316a0}

    You can also use the options /addlast and/addfirst/Remove to order and to remove items from the menu. For example, the following command adds the start-up input DebugEntry as the last item in the menu:

    bcdedit displayorder {49916baf-0e08-11db-9af4-000bdbd316a0} /addlast

    To verify that the display order is correct, use the following command:

    bcdedit

    When you type bcdedit without additional parameters, BCDEdit displays the entry of Boot Manager and boot loader entries in the order in which they appear in the menu.

  • Update the Configuration failed on Windows Vista when the computer was closed prematurely at sea

    My son turned off the computer before the update of configuration was complete.  It uses a Compaq Vista premium desktop computer.  The operating system will not load (it is stuck in a loop trying to reconfigure the old settings before the update).  We have tried to start in Mode safe mode and do a system restore.  The first available date is November 15, when the update occurred.  System Restore got the point to finalize and then jammed (lasted at least 4 hours).   Any suggestions other than a complete system to recharge?

    Hi DRoggeman,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.

    I suggest you to do the Startup Repair to fix boot of startup problem and uninstall all updates you have installed.

    Reinstall or install updates for your computer by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

    To perform the Startup Repair, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    1. Insert the installation disc.

    2. restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.

    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note

    If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

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

    5. click on repair your computer.

    6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

    I have Windows Vista on this computer and I want to remove it and replace it with Windows XP Professional.  Whenever I tried to do, I succumbed. I tried to just boot from the cd and install xp and it tells me that the version on the computer is newer than the one I am trying to install and then gives me no option besides. I left and I restarted in safe mode and the command propt tried to fdisk and he said no authorized for this.  When I try to format it is said that volume id and I don't know who.  I've never been so lost trying to remove a platform in my life.  I would like to have an answer to this problem, thanks and have a blessed day, Robin

    Hi Robin,

    ·         What is the type of disc you are having? It's a drive to upgrade or full version?

    ·         How many partitions are present on the computer?

    ·         Why would you downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP?

    You need demarrer start from the installation disc, choose the partition where Windows is installed (ideally the C drive). Format it and then go to the Windows XP installation.

  • After the upgrade from Office 2007 to Ofice 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while.

    After upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010 on my Vista, then my computer turns off after being idle for a while. When I turn on my computer, I get the splash screen indicating that Windows has finished unexpectedly and I would like to start in safe mode or normally (pluss a couple more choice...).

    Appears not to occur if there is activity going on--as if do me some work or have itunes playing music or I'm just surfing the internet. Curiously, it seems not to happen if I close Internet Explorer and Outlook.

    I shot all automatic updates for Windows Vista (32 bit) and Microsoft Office.

    Concerning

    B Odd Andersen

    Hi B Odd Andersen,

    I want to clarify if your computer seems to be sleeping or it completely closed after being idle for a while.

    Method 1: If the computer is in power saving mode, check if you can wake the computer from this State by moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard.

    Method 2: Change the power to another and check to see if the problem persists
    Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

    Method 3: check the logs in event viewer for more information on auto-off down

    Open event viewer

    What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)

    Note: For your safety and security, it is not recommended to disable Windows Update.
    Activate the update or disable automatic

  • What is the clock system in computer/OS and why a computer fault scenarios different date/time in the office exsist? Hotmail started confussion. The clock is not everywhere and nothing works.

    My friend computer has entered 'back' and 'blue screen dominations' with only the keyboard access that we apparently had time to normal windows. (Vista) Now with normal Windows, the Web browser (firefox) would not connect with "Hotmail". Error message "Hotmail certificate is out of date and not trustworthy... blah blah blah", so I checked on another computer. Apaparently Hotmail is available only through Windows Live (with an address @live.com) so I went back to the original computer and tried to connect to the new address.

    What happens with Vista / Windows / Microsoft / Hotmail?

    In particular, where you connect with "Hotmail" these days if their old browser (Mozilla) does not connect during their emails?

    I do not use these OS and Hotmail (today) to programs is not on my agenda. Can someone give a glimpse at why "Hotmail" on the Mozilla or Internet Explorer has "certificate Expirey date"?

    Or did someone give a website address for the updates on the new Hotmail connections?

    Enjoy the time and insight to get back to me with some ideas.

    (The first is always the best)
