Windaws Vista question

You install a new device on your computer that requires a number of reboots. Your computer uses Vista as an operating system. What would be the way the faster and safer to implement the necessary restart?

A. click Restart on the Start Menu

B. click on the reset button on the front panel of the computer

C. click on stop in the Start Menu

D. press and hold the power button on the computer for at least 10 seconds

What is the right answer?

The question would have the same answer for XP, Vista,
and Windows 7. Although there are many differences there are in fact
more shared between them.

I'm happy to have helped.

  • Vista - Question about updates

    Use Vista Home premium 32-bit with service pack visat

    Noticed last night I had 4 updates to download and install, 2 for Office 2007, then the Outlook Update spam, then for July's malicious software removal tool. Seems that it took a good 15-20plus minutes for updates download and install. Noticed when I checked several times, it seems to still be in the 3rd installation item which was the malicious software removal tool. Finally finished installing it took like 20 minutes

    also he told me to restart. Do youhave to restart after the installation and download?

    Software removal tool malicious downloads & scans. If nothing is found, it just "goes."

    If it does find something, believe me, you'll know about it!

  • Portege R700: Speed Port Replicator HI + USB Vista questions

    Good afternoon

    I am having trouble with 4-5 new R500-1hd (311th short number), the number could be higher, but users could not have reported it.
    If the laptop is disconnected from the HI Speed Port Replicator 2, it off very well and the laptop can be used, but when the laptop is brought back it does not recognize the mouse or the keyboard. The device does not appear as an "unknown device" in Device Manager, but just does not at all appear.

    A new problem that has arisen is again when the machine is off station USB devices install\work not unless they are connected on port SATA\USB, once again the machine failed to detect at all. Even when devices are picked up, it may take in any case of 30-60 seconds before the work of the mouse and the keyboard.

    These are corporate images deployed through WDS and the problem is very intermittent.
    A reset is applied each time the device will be detected.

    I had a couple of flying machines and finished the stretch prior to the computer with Windows 7, computer image portable devices all work fine with or without the docking station and can be used instantly.

    Isn't anyone has an idea how I can fix this problem?

    Concerning

    Kris

    Hello

    As far as I know speed Port Replicator HI new supports the USB 3.0 standard.
    I found the USB driver on the European driver Toshiba for the USB 3.0 feature page.

    I recommend that you install this!

    Thanks for posting comments after trying that

  • Satellite P100-160: I want a replacement for Vista to XP

    I'm having so much trouble with vista which is preinstalled on my satellite p100-160. OK I was expecting a few driver problems and a few apps incompatible, but I wasn't expecting the DVD burner does not work properly and a crowd of vista questions like messaging windows refuses to delete e-mails.

    I want a refund on Vista or better still for Toshiba provide a copy of XP replacement.

    She can tell me who I need to contact Toshiba. Thank you

    Hi my friend

    You're not alone and many other users installing WXP on laptops preinstalled Vista. Contact Toshiba won't help you at all. Don't waste your time and install your Windows on your laptop. On this forum, you can find some very interesting topics about installing Windows XP Home on Satellite P100.

    If I remember well, only problem may be the use of external microphone connected to the mic port.

  • HP XW6400 problem loading Vista Business

    Hey all,.

    I just took a XW6400 on Ebay and the auction has just declared that he only started the bios configuration screen.  I literally have no idea of the State of functioning of the parts below.  Here are the following specifications:

    4 GB RAM (has not considered whether it is ecc or not)

    Single XEON 5130 (2.0 ghz)

    ATI x 1300 video card

    40 GB SATA hard drive

    SATA 200 GB HDD

    DVD Rom

    DVD Writer/Rom

    Latest version of the BIOS: 2.38 (with the default values loaded)

    Part number: RB318UT #ABA

    Serial number: xxxxxxxxxx

    I use the computer for mainly surfing the net, playing some older games, but absolutely nothing of what the computer was destined (all resources, graphics intensive applications, etc.).  It's going to be my computer shop for internet research on how to fix pinball machines.  I am using computers for 30 years, so aware of all material am but not at a technical level of COMPUTING.  I can take pictures, or perform diagnostics that help solve this problem and post it here if necessary.

    I'm having a lot of trouble with a very slow loading Vista Business x 64 (ISO DVD created vistax64.com image).  It literally took about 8 hours now, from one day to the next, and I'm finally in the "Complete the Installation" installation (the progress bar green to low is about 75%) and he's been there 45 minutes now, but it could be longer, just noticed this after waking up and controlled again.  I would appreciate help with the following questions:

    #1: loading XP pro, the system stops just to the material 'verification' screen and locks upward.  Could be a problem with the Vista question above?

    #2: is it possible to load Windows 7 Home Premium on the machine, as well as the edition of Vista Business no?  The installation will simply not work on the machine if you use the standard version of Vista?

    #3: when you use the NON ecc memory, the computer performs strangely like that?  It is absolutely a requirement of memory ECC FB when not to use applications requiring?

    #4: if it finally load on the system and the system seems to work ok, is this slow loading problem a precursor to everything that you guys can imagine of?  Or I was just in the hospital?

    #5: when you add another processor, read the code of the same batch of CPU guarantees compatibility for a two-way configuration?  Or can I just get any other Xeon 5130?

    #6: I don't have a floppy drive on the system, but you guys can recommend a good hardware bootable USB or CD/DVD test software, which is a freeware if all goes well?

    #7: I lent my copy of Vista professional before, so I guess it's possible (but unlikely) someone could use the certificate of authenticity.  The installation say he is recorded online for you.  Is it possible that the copy has been used and is already registered to someone else?  Which would explain this problem?

    #8: is it possible to get a CD of HP restore again?

    I did the memory test on the Vista installation CD, and it passes.  I also shared my GForce 9800 GTX video card and am having the same problem.  Also, any general troubleshooting other thoughts would be appreciated.

    -Pat

    Edit: I went to the appointment of a DR and the come back about an hour and a half later, since this original post.  Now, during the installation screen complete, the progress bar has moved maybe another 10% is now about 85%.  It seems to load, but why so ssllooww?

    P.S. We have removed a number of your post for your secutiry. That is the information you probably don't want available to the public. -HP moderator of the Forum

    I got it to work.  Unfortunately, it is not useful for searching the Internet.  But i:

    Reduced system memory 2 gig.

    Renewed, cleaned and reinstall thermal paste for the cpu and the heatsink.

    removed the hard drive the system came with and just used well-known 200gig hard drive.

    Left the hard drive and cdrom SATA0 and SATA1, SATA2, and SATA3.

    And the big one, I loaded Win7 x 64 home premium.

    I'm typing on it now and updated as we speak.  However, I am always interested some of the answers to the questions.

    #1: what will happen if I used of non - ecc memory?  The system works not at all, or be slow?

    #2: and it is always possible to obtain HP restore disks?  (Edit 12/14)  I was not able to find a way to get drives install in addition to bring 2nd hand (ebay), but most of the original software is located on the support xw6600 site.

    I ordered 2 XEON Processors off ebay, another 8 GB of ram and the hp cpu heatsink and fan.  Time for fun!

    Where can I find a good tutorial on the way files and folders are structured in Windows Vista?  I need to restructure mine as thinking that Vista has just been installed.  I know that favorite links appears in blue at the top with Doc, pictures, music, etc.  Then under this office and users, etc.  Where the Public appears in this hiarchy as well.  Anyone know if there is a source that explains how this should be implemented?  In addition, I need to know how he handles the files that are saved for a particular user.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for help.

    I assume you mean on the Toshiba Vista recovery CD. Am I wrong?
    Well, the fact is that this CD is not similar to the original CD of Microsoft Vista. The restore CD contains only the image of the OS. The image is a Pack that included BONES, drivers and additional software.

    Finally, you should know that you can use this CD to restore with no limit, until he dies ;)

I got got a confirmation online and posted number is + a copy of the receipt of purchase to one address in the Netherlands. Also displayed payment (£16,53) at a different address in the Netherlands.

    I want to know is the disc I receive an 'upgrade' disc or a full version with an option of a 'complete installation', but also an upgrade? Also if I do an upgrade or a full install and decide that Vista is not to my likeing running recovery disks provided with the laptop will return its supplied as original state? It would be XP MCE.

    Vista will have all the necessary drivers for my laptop hardware work or I'm likely to have to install drivers after upgradeing or Vista installation?

    Thanks in advance... John

    For most Windows upgrades are complete windows versions. This means that you can do a clean install. During the new installation the installation program will ask for the old cd and check it. That's all.

    Of course, it is possible to return your laptop in the State of origin with the old recovery disks.
