• After installing the Vista SP2, IE 8 does not work well.

  After installing Vista SP2, IE 8 under my.live.com does not work.  The pages do not FLOW RSS download, links on the page at the top are not active and usually IE has out crapped.  I went to run a complete Internet security suite uninstall Trend Micro and put it in a plain Jane anit-virus program.

  I would like to keep the functioning of IE8, but switch to FireFox, if I need to see my RSS STREAM or do some serious web browsing.

  Is there a way I can safely roll back my system to SP1?  I can't live without Vista SP2.

• Problems galore after installing the Vista SP2

  Once I installed SP2 on my Acer 6920 g, my sound card no longer works. I followed the "Fix It" solution and update its drivers, which solved the problem and his return. When I stopped the machine, he started rebotting, begin a strange "xp" mode, before launching Acer Arcade Deluxe, a media programme. This problem for about two hours, stop, reboot in this program can close again in a loop on and on. Through to hold the power button on the laptop, I managed finally to get the machine to stay 'off '. The following day, when I turned on the laptop I found that repairing the system has been launched, but could not solve the problem, telling me that the problem was the following;

  Event problem name: StartupRepairV2

  Can anyone help? I have an option for 'Complete restoration of Windows', but want to this only as a last resort because I do not have a backup of my files.

  Thank you

  Try this first before reinstalling.

  If it fails, see below, data recovery before reinstalling.

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

  To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

  To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
  At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings

  "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.

  Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files

  Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490

  time taken = 720023 ms

  Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.

  I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.

  If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.

  IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

  "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

  What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

  The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

  You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

  And here a question for you to consider, too.

  If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

  But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

  See you soon.

• HP Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop: no sound after installing the Vista SP2

  After installing SP2 on my new laptop, I found, on my version check, he did not mention SP1 as having been installed/added.

  Then I tried to UNINSTALL SP2, or take the computer to a previous restore point, as the problem of "NO SOUND" (confirmed by a small circle of Red containing a white "x" icon of speakers [IDT High Definition Audio CODEC] located at the bottom right of the laptop screen may have been caused by adding SP2 without previously installing SP1)

  .

  I discovered that there is no previous restore point (it's a new laptop) - so I can't RESTORE to AN EARLIER DATE of TIME and I have not the slightest idea how to UNINSTALL SP2 - on windows xp I could have just do it through the CENTER OF CONTROL and ease "Add or remove programs.

  • According to the Sound Devices device manager both work properly i.e. the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI - although I did not understand why I have two devices here, (maybe cos I tried default return of windowsn na sound?

  I guess I could use the back to factory State cd to get her back, once again on my laptop, but I hope that I don't need to do.

  Any suggestions please, because I feel a frustrated mite.

  Hi teacher Cheryl

  Thanks for your reply.

  However, I cannot locate the page you are talking about.

  I seem to have lost in these areas (see * below)

  It seems to be all kinds of pages to do with the support of drivers, updates, but do not know which one to use to do a download of the update that I seems to require (assuming that I don't already have).

  I found what seems to be the driver of Audio concerned especially for the particular model, but do not know if it is the version of correct i.e.latest of the driver or how to download.

  The details are:-

  "The software and the following drivers are compatible with your product and the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system

  ' Pilot - AudioDateVersionPreviousSize' IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver 04 - 20096.10.6159.0 A ' Version: 21,02'

  Also, when I click on "Open Volume Mixer at the foot of the screen, it says"no audio device is installed"

  Hello

  I googled a bit and found a lot of people who reported on the same issue.
  It s certainly related to Vista SP2.

  Hi Glenn,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Important: Change BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the PC for the procedure for making changes in the BIOS.

• My HP Pavilion DV6 will not start after replacing the screen

  I just replaced a cracked screen by following the instructions in the maintenance manual and now it does not start. The power light turns on and the fan works but nothing else happens. What can I do to trouble shoot this problem?

  The most common problem is the connection of the cable to the screen.  Make sure that it is tight. Check the connection to the motherboard as well, but it's usually OK.

• Vista will not start after replacing the motherboard

  The motherboard in my Dell Vostro 220 died for the 2nd time, and this time it's out of warranty. Not wanting
  

  another cheap/defective board from Dell, I bought a compatible Intel replacement from Newegg. After I put
  

  the replacement board in, Vista won't boot. Dell didn't provide an actual Vista cd/dvd, but rather their generic
  

  repair/driver cd, so I can't just reinstall Vista (32bit). I understand that Vista may have problems with the new
  

  motherboard, but didn't realize it wouldn't give me better opportunity to load new drivers from cd that came
  

  with the motherboard. Am I just screwed and going to have to buy a new Windows cd/licence? The log below is
  

  what Windows is reporting:
  
  Problem Signatures1  Auto Failover2  6.0.6001.18000.6.0.6001.180003  64  1966115  Bad Driver6  Bad Driver7  08  19  System Restore10  0
  
  OS Version 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
  

  OK, thanks to a thread on DANIWEB here is the solution to my problem - Hiren BootCD (v15.1). MiniXP to start and run difficult HDD controller app. This allowed Vista to boot far enough to get the cd accompanying the motherboard. Later, life is good, Vista hasn't even complained on the new motherboard and licenses.

  1. What is the error message accurate/complete that you receive when you try to start Windows 8?
  2. Are you able to boot to Windows 8.1 without any problem?

  This problem can occur because of bad sectors on the hard disk. I suggest you run the disk check and check if you can start Windows 8.

  1. Press the Windows key + X, click on (Admin) command prompt.
  2. At the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.
  3. Now, type chkdsk/r to repair.

  To run the check disk on C drive, try the following steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.
  2. Click the drive you want to check (C :).
  3. Click Properties andcclick on the Tools tab.
  4. Click the control button user error checking.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

  Warning of Chkdsk.

• PC shutdown after installing the Vista SP2

  I could not read the message whenever this happened because my PC stops automatically, this never happened until I installed SP2. I couldn't install it before until I released the space by moving thousands of videos on a 2 TB hard drive. So what is happening with that and SP2

  * Title *.
  Your current settings are not after the installation of service pack 2

  justinrpg7,
  Use the Advanced startup options , and then select the option 'Disable automatic restart in case of system failure'.  Then the next time it fails it must stop on the error screen.  Post back with the error message so that we can discuss this more.  You can clean boot your system to see if there is a program, possibly the origin of the problem.  You should also test in Safe Mode and see if it happens then.
