• Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to fix it?

  No Option to install repair - SAD

  Hello

  Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.

  I recently had a problem where Vista Business 64-bit would only boot to a black screen with a mobile cursor - KSOD.   Who, in searching the Web I found is a fairly common problem with Vista.  I discovered that my only option was about to reinstall Vista CLEAN and all the other programs I had installed under it.  I can't believe that Microsoft released the 'repair installation option"similar to that of Windows XP, where you can hit the"R"key during installation and we left with nothing but the"System Restore"options and"Startup Repair ".  Neither of which has helped in my situation.  Since then, this was a dual system boot with XP Pro, then any restore point has been removed from the partition to Vista anytime, I started another recognized problem, by Microsoft, which Microsoft has made no significant effort to fix, in addition to recommending that you hide the partion Vista in XP - a whole of XP.  That beats a little the entire purpose of dual boot.

  As I tried to start in safe mode, it left me at the same point as a normal boot - black screen with a cursor.  I tried ctrl + alt + delete and nothing. Two Windows RE options did not help me.  This left me no option but to the completely reinstall Vista.   Why Microsoft did remove the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair.. Please don't tell me that it is because Vista uses an image file instead of an installation as XP system.   I see no other reason for not allowing the upgrade of outside BONE in addition to Microsofts greed and paranoia that he can transform the operating system easier to install illegally.  I hope that some third party has actually changed the Vista installation routine to allow you to install Vista on itself, because as it is, it's really hard for me to even recommend Vista as the operating system or install any where else, if not the only recourse after loading OS, is to reinstall completely.

  Adobe, Autodesk, and almost all other software publishers... allow you to perform a "REPAIR" of their software installation, if something prevents you to load after installation.  Even MS Office has a routine repair.  Ms has an internal version of the Setup routine which allows outside the OS upgrade option that you want to "Upgrade" / repair? ".  If not, why?

  "Why Microsoft removed the ability for Windows Vista to install on herself from one location other than being inside the BONE you want to repair."

  «.. . After using XP's repair function, the operating system itself would become less stable and frankly not in a good state of repair. »

  As Todd, is the answer.

  "This response does not hold water as on one of my computers I've been running Windows XP for about four years now, after a repair install.

  Then, you were lucky.  Try to replace the system files on a computer that does not start even at a desk or safe mode usually will get a return to office, but will probably repeat the same problem in a few weeks.  Tech professional would only use this function to retrieve the data before a complete reinstallation.

  Why CRYSTAL_REPORT program does not work with windows Vista?

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

• Problems using Flash Player on Windows Vista

  I'm having trouble important load videos to play on an internet site

  and when loading videos they play very intermittently.

  I have a Dell Vostro 220.  It has 1.00 GB of memory and has a 32-bit operating system.

  I use Windows Vista operating system and the Internet Explorer 7.0 browser.

  Any guidance would be appreciated.

  Hi, thanks for the info, the format is fine. Your Flash files also are all correct and the Shockwave Flash Object. Flash Player is installed correctly and then something is contradictory, very probably an add on in the browser.

  Don't forget to inform me on the anti-virus program, etc.

  You can also view the IE Add ons all add ons, BHO or audiences that you don't know what they are for. Everything you have now, you did not have prior vs uninstallation and installation of Flash Player 10.1. Let me know.

  Thank you

• Why drive letter external for the reasigns Windows Vista and how to stop it from happening

  I have Windows Vista Home Premium with the latest service packs and updates installed on my machine.
  From time to time, when I connect the external USB HDD, previously assigned letter of Exchange to another.
  After that the media library files and setup do not work properly. I have to manually assign.

  Why this is happening and more important How to stop from happening at all in the first place?

  Thanks in advance

  Windows assigns the next available drive letter when you connect an external drive. During his previous letter assigned is no longer available it will be assigned the next drive letter. I have an external hard drive with three partitions, I assigned the letters X, Y and Z, whenever I connect the drive on my laptop, it will display the letters that are always available.
