Why can not open files audio VAC with Vista home premium but my friend can with Windows 7?

Quick Time error message.   How do you open using another program?

Another way is to click on start > default programs > associate the type of file or Protocol with a program > and change the default program associated with this file type.

Have you tried to open Media Player and play the file directly? You are running the latest version of Media Player?

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  • sfc/scannow foud the corrupted files after upgrade from Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Hello

    It is an event that I went through:

    (1) recently I received a bunch of updates to Vista Home Premium 32 bit, after I did the update I decided to perform sfc/scannow task and this is the error message I got the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to fix them." Details are provided in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS.log newspaper. For example c:\windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log

    Repair of system files change will take effect after the next reboot.

    (2) so I did restart and then try to run the sfc/scannow task once again, but I still got the same message I described in step 1 again. So basically sfc/scannow function did not repair the corrupted files.

    (3) the next step, I decided to perform a repair Installation of visa which took me 10 hours to complete the task, once the task of upgrading of repair has been made and before the windows update, I ran sfc/scannow task and this time he finds any corrupted files, but after I updated windows sfc/scannow result was the same as step 1.

    It is obvious to me that one of the updates of the origin of this problem, but find it me hard to pinpoint that one. So I am writing this e-mail to help and I hope that the problem will soon be solved. Please let me know if you need me to submit the CBS.log file for you to review thanks in advance.

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Cannot restore file bkf NAS to Vista Home Premium disk XP

    I have a HP Pavilion a6220n PC desk top running Vista Edition Windows Home Premium.  Exploitation is corrupt is a couple of weeks, and I haven't had a recent backup of the C drive.  (I know...)  In any case, I could take the Vista machine's hard drive and connect it as a second hard drive on my XP machine.  Then, I was able to make a file bkf HD Vista on my 1 TB MyBookLive NAS drive.  Then I put the HD Vista on the Vista PC.  And I was able to run the recovery partition recovery procedure.  Of course, he wiped the C drive but Vista works again like factory.

    So now, I need to restore the file the MyBookLive drive on the Vista machine bkf.  I thought it would be easy.  I discovered that the restoration of Vista does not recognize the bkf file types.  But the Vista restore utility had a link explaining that I could download a backup NT and restore and it would be able to restore a bkf file type in a Vista machine.  So I downloaded the NT utility.  But when I ran, the NT utility doesn't seem to be able to find the MyBookLive disk.  It does not seem to have all the options restore from a network drive.

    So my next bright idea was to buy a Toshiba 1 TB USB HD.  I figured I'd just copy the NAS MyBookLive to the Toshiba HD bkf.  I tried on the XP machine, and I got an error that says I don't have enough disk space.  I guess this means that the C XP disk doesn't have enough free space, because the MyBookLive and Toshiba HD have enough free space.  Moreover, the bkf file is LARGE (355GB).

    OK, so I decide to use the Vista machine to copy the bkf file.  I can map to the NAS MyBookLive and see the bkf file.  And the Toshiba HD is automatically recognized by Vista.  The C-drive Vista has 327 GB free.  And again, I got the same error - not enough disk space.

    I started to compress the bkf file in a file of rar on MyBookLive, using the XP utility.  Original estimate was 66 hours remaining.  I decided to give up this idea because I don't know if it will even work and wouldn't wait for 66 hours to find out.  My hope was that if the compressed file was smaller, so I could copy the compressed on the Toshiba HD.

    So here I sit with a disk network MyBookLive bkf file.  And I need to restore this information on the Vista machine.  If anyone knows how to restore directly from the network drive MyBookLive to the Vista, which would be preferable.  Next ideal if anyone knows how to copy a file, bkf 355GB since the network MyBookLive on the Toshiba USB HD drive, then I might be able to restore from the Toshiba USB HD on the Vista machine.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    GEEK SQUAD came to the rescue. Agent Hugo Westminster, CO Best Buy suggested I get the error "insufficient disk space" because USB Toshiba HARD drive is formatted in "FAT32" format of file at the factory.  He recommended fitness to "NTFS".  I did and was able to copy the large bkf file (it took about 12 hours).

    I have now connected USB Toshiba HARD drive into the Vista machine.  And "NT Backup and Restore" was able to recognize it.  It is now trying to restore the backup of the files on the desktop to Vista PC.  I'll know in a few hours if the restore was successful.

    The restore operation did turn out to be successful.

  • Have to reboot windows vista Home premium, but I have no recovery disk. What can I do?

    I bought my computer in January Circuit City and as part of the purchase, they installed windows vista and other programs such as Norton Internet Security. Recently, my system has been "acting" and the folks at Symantec tell me I can get a worm who slipped in front of the protections. Because this worm was now hidden from detection and very probably damaged my registry files, they suggested I have reformat my system and reinstall all of the BONE upward. I searched through the discs that I got with my pc and I have everything EXCEPT the OS! Whats is worse because their people installed, I have the product identification code, but I think that there is another code for validation that I did not. Circuit City is out of business now and I don't know what to do. I know that my currently installed copy of vista is genuine, but what I need to know is that if there is a way I can reinstall vista on my pc without having to buy another copy?

    Hi lxlthr,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    Please check under your laptop or your desktop to locate a sticker with the product key for Windows Vista.  If they exist, you can probably use another copy of Vista to install, without making a purchase, a new product key.  If they are not located on this computer or anywhere you can find, then you need to get a different product key to reinstall the operating system.

    Note: Formatting the hard drive will erase all data, programs and user settings you have on the computer. If there is no information on this computer and you don't want to lose, or is not guaranteed, you will need to make backups before proceeding with the INSTALLATION of FORMAT / CLEAN.

    Hope this helps,

  • What is the disk file part # or download vista home premium upgrade to the 32-bit version of windows 7 Home premium.

    I have a Dell xps 420 desktop computer microsoft vista home preimum sp2 and want to upgrade to windows 7. Go online to shop for the best disc and or the price for this upgrade is very confusing to me to say. I want just the version of windows 7 home preimum, but I see the price for these discs from $80.00 up to $ 300.00 million. I'm sure that they are not the same discs or there was not this price differential.

    I don't care if I get the cd/dvd or a download version, but I don't want any version which requires me to do a custome update as I do not know how to save all my programs and data re - install later. I think I should be able to upgrade for less than $ $100,00.

    Can someone help this old man (81)?   Thank you, Bob s.

    There is no electronic download for Windows 7 and Microsoft have removed most of the editions of sale general retail.

    Your only real option is an upgrade kit. All that would require a custom installation deletes all.

    Dell do not list Windows 7 drivers for this system.

    It would be risky to try something as important as an upgrade of the operating system without a backup and the means necessary to reinstall your system if you wish, how would recover you your data and programs if the computer has failed?
