When Vista SP2 will stop receiving the normal Windows updates.
It was mentioned in another thread that Vista (I guess that SP2) reaches the end of mainstream support in April.
I have seen this document,
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle#section_2
which suggests to me normal stop support (Windows updates) in April.
Could you clarify it please exactly what it means for a 'regular' customer with a preinstalled copy of Vista or someone who installed it themselves via a disc OEM etc.
This means that Windows Update will cease to provide patches, etc from April this year for Vista SP2?
Thank you...
Hi Mooly,
Updates will still be available after April, there will be always some support for updates of security which are sent to the bottom of the Windows Update. According to article http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy

I tried to download the RegCure as advised, but the problem still exists...
Who advised you to 'download... '. RegCure? Doing so could only worse issues! If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Vista SP2 (and Net framework 3.5 Family update) fails to install
Hi, Windows update always fails to install Vista SP2 & Net framework service pack 1 & family update Net framework 3.5 with error code 80073712. I believe that I have now installed the Net framework updates to download and install them individually or in sequence with NDP35SP1-KB958484 - x 86.exe the last to be installed, apparently with success. Unfortunately, Windows update still lists this update as needing to be installed, and that fails to do so.

I still works with Windows XP and I'm using the Beta version of Firefox 29,0. I usually use the normal browser window, but sometimes will open a private window. In the past, before moving on to the beta Version of Firefox, a small mask icon will appear in the new window, indicate that it is in private mode. Now when I open a window in private mode, nothing appears to indicate this fact. The window is identical to the normal browser window.
(1) would be what my browser is glitching and just open a regular and not a private window?
(2) if there is a glitch how to fix it and if not how can I ensure the browser I use IS in private mode if there is no indicator?I'm using Linux and see the private browsing mode purple on the bar tab in a new private window, so I guess that it should always be there on Windows as well.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
