• Windows Vista update causes applications non - IE to be denied access to the internet

  I have a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 unfortunately comes with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has caused me a lot of problems with conflicts between her and others, package applications, and now I am forced to use my network at home for route information and documents that must move through the internet by sharing them with another computer Windows XP which is also configured exactly as my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. I look forward to wean myself off of all MS products, possibly other that MS Office, I use a lot and plays always well for me to wire many years and updates/upgrades. Not the same for MS Windows Vista, however. My experience, similar to many other forum users, has been constantly frustrating over the years I've had to deal with it.  I lost a lot of time dealing with problems caused by code errors in the last set of MS Windows Vista updates that made all my package applications that require internet access unusable.

  I contacted the support of Lenovo and support forums for my problem, and they too cannot provide all the answers that address this issue that is causing me to spend much too much time I could use to work at a rate of $65 / hr, so you can see that this is not only an inconvenience.

  Before someone points me to the myriad other similar positions for possible answers, let me say that I probably have alread read it and tried all the suggested actions, without success. I need to REAL answers and REAL support, and I need it NOW.  Also, I don't think I should have to pay for the support which has been made necessary by the negligence of MS to test their updates for compatibility issues with the popular, free package critical applications for the safety of MS OS system of a user, such as AVG Free antivirus, ZoneAlarm Free firewall personal , OR who are competitors for their navigation on the web or by email client applications. I am not now under the other another firewall that MS Vista firewall having had to uninstall my firewall ZoneAlarm Free. I even had one of my other previously compatible and effective anti-malware/spyware apps, AdAware, uninstall Lavasoft. No matter what I did, which was suggested to me by MS resources support or Lenovo support resources, this problem, which began shortly after the last round of all the months of downloads to fix security and facilities, persists and cost me more money in revenue and lost time every day.

• Windows Vista update KB948465 update failed to install with error code 80070017

  My computer has tried intaslling this update (Vista SP2) for about a week and a half now. Even after restart and other, I can not get a successful installation. And now Windows Explorer restarts itself while I use the computer in the workplace... Can anyone offer assistance with this error and what I can do to solve the problem?

  Hi DMO523,

  I suggest you to download a Service Pack 2 standalone package and install it in Mode without failure.

  See the links below for more information about the Service Pack.

  How to obtain the latest Windows Vista service pack

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/935791/

  Depending on whether you are running 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, you can download the Pack from the links below.

  To determine if you have 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, click the Start button, right-click computer, and then click on Properties.

  If you use a Vista 32-bit edition, you can download it from

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=891ab806-2431-4D00-afa3-99ff6f22448d

  If the 64-bit operating system, download the pack of

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8ad69826-03d4-488C-8f26-074800c55bc3

  Also, follow the link below for more information on the installation of SP2.

  Learn how to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2)

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/105f7420-6f7f-4FE8-8698-2f40ca5f53711033.mspx

  Now, start the computer on which you plan to install the service pack in safe mode.

  Note: Installing Service Pack 2 in safe mode, will erase all restore points.

  For more information on starting the computer in Mode safe, click on the link below:

  Start your computer in safe mode

   http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

  Once the computer in safe mode, double-click on the file from the service pack and install it. Once the service pack installation is complete, you will be asked to reboot. Do. Your computer will now reboot in normal mode. The reboot takes longer time usually, there are a few extra steps for the installation of the service pack to be now carried out.

  I hope it should work now.

  Kind regards

  I'm Zenith one 733F error Code when I try to install the latest Windows Vista Update, which is an update to SQL Server 2005 (Service Pack 2 KB970895).  This update has failed several times now.

  Thank you very much, Nik

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
