No Option to install repair - SAD
HelloWhy 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.
"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."
If you want to have input on the future of Microsoft operating systems, then help you beta-test and provide feedback to the developers. Windows 7 and IE 8 are currently in beta.
Another possible place you could make suggestions which could see the developers would be:

Why Lightroom 6 continually freezes with 10 windows recently.
Although it is completely happy with 5 Lightroom, I upgraded to 6 only because my new camera compact Olympus TG-4 did not had been supported in 5. For the past weeks 6 Lightroom has been almost completely useless in terms of being able to change anything before, it crashes and I had to go back to the previous version to have a usable software. Hoping that it is not a costly mistake?
Hi xnalanx
Adding to the suggestion of markl . Please save (using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom |) Back up a catalog) your catalog once before resetting the preferences of Lightroom. Refer to retrieve the catalog and images after resetting preferences

Why Microsoft did stop Windows 7 when Windows 8 is out?
Windows 7 has been/is the best operating system, Microsoft has released to date. Lets admit, Windows 8 is designed for tablets and touchscreens. So why has Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7 when it is perfect for desktop computers? I build desktop and I refuse to install Windows 8 because it was so badly designed. I think "stockpilling" Windows 7.

Why Microsoft would send 33 updates to my desktop with XP on April 1 014
Why Microsoft would send 33 updates to my desktop with XP on April 1 014 when they will abandon XP April 8
Why bother with it at all? Just to say that they supported to 8 April?
These updates have been scheduled for several months now, Yes. They did the test, the compatibility, security controls and additional programming object. They were intended for a while, and entire fleets of people worked on it. So yes, of course you will get security updates until it ends. You'll probably have more updates Tuesday next on "Patch Tuesday" and those who will be your final edits.

Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!
I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!
Thank you
Ryan
