  • 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?

    -Todd w.

    "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.

    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.

    Hello

    When any antivirus program scans and removes a virus to do a reboot to completely remove it from some parts of this virus are active. Given that the virus removal tool didn't you it restart as part of its service, it can remove only inactive parts of the virus. If you run the scan in safe mode it may have deleted all the virus. Just like removing a program, uninstaller was tell you to stop and exit the program until he could remove it. When malwarebytes running, there's a step before restarting it completely removes viruses and malicious software.

    Online virus removal tool is there so you can take control of the system and perform a local scan with your antivirus software.

  • Why did Microsoft keep "to abandon" OS and introduce the new OS when they old BONES don't ever work in the first place?

    VISTA seems to be the MOST aggrevating experience.  Then came "Windows 7" and is now at the forefront "Windows 8" when THEY have NEVER ABORDE LES PROBLEMS WITH VISTA AND WINDOWS 7, now they'll introduce Widnows 8.

    Can someone explain to me (with a VALID point) as to WHY Microsoft keeps "to abandon" is the customer base loyalty and introduce NEW operating systems and they never solve the problems that were in the 'old BONES '...

    A Mac can get a virus.  There are too many users stupid that click on stupid things like Windows.  What he does not (but longer) is market share and thus an economic reason to attack him.  But to say that he "' not get virus, sorry, it can and it has too many flaws.  It doesn't just have the ecosystem of the attacks.  If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it falls really?  If a vulnerability to a Macintosh system don't get coded upward, because there is more targets in the Windows world, this actually means that a Mac can't catch a virus?

    Wait until the Mac have economic objectives and equivalent market share so that they are equal and then we'll come back to this thread and make that call.

    Do you mean the difference between the Windows and Mac operating systems?  As PC does in fact mean personal PC - and Macintosh based computers are PCs.

    The EXACT difference with regard to the operating system is that Mac is based on the core Unix - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Mac_OS_X so that Windows is the C and C++ language based as I understand it.  http://StackOverflow.com/questions/380988/what-programming-language-was-Windows-Vista-programmed-in

    That's like asking what EXACTLY the difference between the German and the French language.  They are different orgins, different codes.

    The current Mac OS was actually bought by Apple because they need a new OS - purchased from Steve Jobs, who had been expelled from the Apple and then begins.

    Both are operating systems that follow the orders given to him by the man, written by humans, who need updates for adding features, and the security fixes for when they are not exactly what they intend to do.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Why Microsoft are not

    Why Microsoft does not make a new version of windows xp and make it innovative, modern design and it may appoint windows xp super and make windows xp stay supported and wanted by the people because of its new design and functionality that you will add

    Hello Alex_88_20,

    That Microsoft remove never any code when a new operating system is created, you can actually say that Windows Vista is Windows XP with an upgrade. Basically, the same applies with all versions of Windows, the latest version is simply grafted on the other. There are millions of lines of code in Windows, Microsoft could never start from scratch to create a new version of Windows. If they did the chances are that it wouldn't work as well as the current version!

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Why Windows keep moving & hide my files with me?

    original title: make him stop, please stop! Why Windows keep moving & hide my files with me?

    Windows Vista using Media Player 11:

    I am way in music and want to have recorded and named in a certain way.  Sometimes in windows 'Explorer' I group songs into folders according to the albums I create (i.e. mixtures of burning); in this case, I'll keep the names from the same artist and change the name of the album (in properties) that I chose.  As soon as I click on the folder 'Explorer' moves it somewhere, I don't think.  Sometimes things end up in the trash that I know does not recycle.  It also renames my files.  For example, I had a song that I had saved the name of the file is: 01 History.wma; and the rest of the info has been saved in the properties (Album, artist, track number, etc.).  As soon as I turn my head the computer renames it to something that looks like this: 01HistoryAtmosphereSevensTravels - UndergroundRap.wma.  Why it does this and how can I stop it?

    Hello

    ·         It only happens with music files?

    ·         When the issue started?

    Step 1: Run Virus scan.

    Try to scan the computer using Antivirus software because this problem can occur if the computer is infected with the virus. You can do an online scan by clicking on the link http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm and clicking on the analysis of a complete Service and accept the agreement.

  • 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.

  • I'm just getting to know Firefox yet once, how do I know why Microsoft put plugins under my Add ons?

    I wanted to know if anyone knows why Microsoft put plugins under my add on area? It is everywhere in my programs and the computer, so that makes no sense to me? I would like to disable this if I don't train any problems on my computer. I use the photo gallery.

         OK    ANSWERED BELOW - The plug-in allows you to open and edit files using Microsoft Office applications
           * Office Authorization plug-in for NPAPI browsers
    

    I also wanted to know how to put the software missing in Firefox. I don't have Adobe shock wave, or Java on my computer. I just make a recovery. I was about to do for software sites, but there are weird things happening near your sites that I don't like. This is such a beautiful home for me!

    Microsoft does not have the plugins with modules - Mozilla has done.
