• 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.

  "I thought that this area was a place to really get answers instead of the ole same"answers of bs that are on all the other forums."

  It is a place that will try to help you fix your computer if you have problems.  It has technicians in computing, no decision-makers, developers or executives.  We will try to answer technical questions about problems you might have with Windows Vista.

• Why Microsoft did not recognize or set the iexplore.exe virus?

  After cold boot my Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Vista, pane the Task Manager process shows no instance of iexplore.exe. However, after using the computer for a while (using Outlook, Crome, Excel etc) my system slowly grinds almost to a halt several instances of iexplore.exe appear in the process pane, each consumer of 15 to 25% of the total of processor cycles. This becomes worse and worse until the system becomes unusable.

  I belong to several thousand users of Windows who is plagued by the iexplore.exe virus. I used 5 different virus/malware removers (including MS Security Essentials and MSERT.exe), but they do not solve this problem.
  Why Microsoft did not recognize this virus dangerous and done something to remove it? (ODILE. EXE does not help).  Only users that I found on the web that have to get rid of this nasty virus are those who reformatted their hard drives.  Microsoft can surely do better than that.
  Has anyone found a solution that actually works?  (A lot of the fixes suggested on the net "seem" to work for a few hours or a day or two, but then the virus appears again upward and consumes most or all of the cycles CPU).
  I'm surprised that Microsoft do not have a solution to the problem. If you have a solution that really works, please let me know. Thank you.

  And you think this is a virus why? I admit it could be a root kit, but I suspect that a program you use called IExplore to launch a URL, but fails to launch a browser window, that is why tasks of runaways.

  However, if you believe that it is through a virus or root kit:

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

• Cannot start Windows 7 Print Spooler stops (0x000006ba error) when installing or uninstalling printer.

  This PC had a fairly recent reinstallation of Windows 7, then he started screening blue, run system restore a few weeks and works very well, but it will not be printed.  When you try to install a printer, it gives a 0x000006ba error code and says that failed to start the spooler.

  The spooler may start, but stops when you try to install the printer.

  So far, I have:

  ran sfc/scannow

  Re-registration of dll

  replaced spoolsv from the windows disk

  has run a few utility programs such as tweaking.com, UVK and combofix

  Chkdsk /r

  restored back as it would go

  remove the old printer

  drivers wanted and removed old print

  deleted registry entries

  shown ancient and hidden devices in the Device Manager and remove the

  and basically, did every challenge on the internet.

  Before I'm stuck reloading this machine again, I'd like to get some really advanced or random fixes that worked for you, when others have not.

  Thank you.

• How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

  Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

  Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

  I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

  What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

  Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

  I use Vista Home Premium

  I'm looking for a Microsoft solution for the specific problem I described, and/or advice on where post for better attention to Microsoft to "design problem".

  None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

  You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

  1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

  2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).

  If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  I do not have a cure, but I have a suggestion for you:

  Right- drag the file or folder. I prefer to do it this way because
  When you release, you get invited to know if you want to copy, move,
  or create a shortcut. I do not remember when it arrives
  moved and when it is copied, and doing it this way takes away that
  the burden of memory.
