• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

  If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

  If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.

  Then buy a disc XP and license.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

• Problems to install a downloaded version of Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 on my mac through VMWARE FUSION

  Hi all

  I hope you can help as I'm going crazy! It's my first MAC if im a complete noob.

  Me being lazy has decided to download Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 from https://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ site

  It contains 3 files which I had to download separately:

  Vista_HomeBasic_SP1_32bit_English_Download_Part1_66G - 02017.exe

  Boot.wim

  install.wim

  Once I had downloaded these. I pulled the top of VMWARE AU12EME 2 but could not detect anything. If I then wacked out on a memory stick and ran the .exe on my windows pc. This integrated then all the files I downloaded a good big folder of Vista.

  So once again I pulled up to VMWARE fusion 2.0 but still nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I heard people talking that I need an ISO file? But I searched all files that I downloaded and installed, and there is nothing similar. The only thing I can think is that I need to burn the VISTA folder I extracted from my pc to DVD and try running disk on my Mac. But that would make a difference that I tried to run from my DESKTOP MAC key and memory? In addition, there is no ISO files.

  Please HELP I'm worried that I just lost my money!

  I did a little research, and it was one of the best hits on How to make Vista DVD bootable with WIM downloaded files that I think sums up your situation.

  Because I had the file oscdimg.exe since Install Kit automated (Windows AIK) I gave it a try and it worked.  In other words, by using the folder of Vista and its content that has been created by you run the files you downloaded you should be able to create a Bootable ISO Image, which you can then use to create a DVD, if you have the right software to burn an ISO Image on DVD.  (Maybe you could do this on the Mac) Although if you want to you have even burn the ISO Image to DVD just copy it on the Mac and assign it to the CD/DVD in the settings of Virtual Machines.

  Other documents you may find useful: Microsoft TechNet > TechNet Library > Windows > Windows Vista > Windows Vista technical library Roadmap > Windows Vista: deployment > Kit to install Windows Automated (Windows AIK) > Deployment Tools Technical Reference > Command - line Tools Technical Reference > Oscdimg command-line Options

  Just to let you know that it took me about 20 minutes to do a search on Google and create the ISO Image and the test that I could start a VM in the Fusion and if you need to download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to get the oscdimg.exe file it obviously will take you a little longer, but it is doable and the solution vs safer trying to get the file oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe from a link sent illegally into the file.

  In any case the information presented here can solve your problem of creating a Bootable Image DVD/ISO.

• Windows Vista Home Basic activation Code is partially dissipated.

  I decided to change my operating system to windows Vista Home Basic. The problem is 2 letters on the license window have worn the label on the side of the computer. Is it possible to know what are the missing letters?

  Hello

  I suggest using a flashlight and magnifying glass and try and read the numbers.

  Others suggest to take a photo and enlarge the photo to read the doors numbers.

  _______________________________________________________

  Or try these methods.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  ______________________________________________________

  Install another operating system could destroy this option:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  Hello

  I've set up a new router broadband wireless ADSL to connect to my broadband PostOffice.com existing Standard.

  The router is a Belkin F7D1401uk Surf N150 model.

  It is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727 laptop. If I connect to the new Belkin router using an ethernet cable, I can connect to the internet. But when I unplug the ethernet cable and turn on the WiFi I see a connection to the modem Belkin Wireless, but on an 'unidentified network' and with 'local access' only.

  So, it looks to me that use wireless I have an IP address and the default gateway and DNS servers are correct.
  But I do not understand why I "local access" only.

  Can anyone suggest what I can do to get my laptop connected wireless to the internet please?

  Kind regards
