• My Windows Vista computer is corrupt and I'm in a vicious circle where everything I try to repair fails

  I recently installed a selection of 'important' updates on Windows Update. initially they kept not so I installed them in safe mode. Since my computer is in an apparently irreversible cycle and all the solutions on the forums that I am trying to use to fix, it seems to fail. It resembles a virus but I ran Norton 360 in safe mode and it found nothing. I have removed all the updates installed on the roundabout but I always meet the same problems.

  When I boot I get a message saying "Settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program and then click Retry, or click Cancel to exit sidebar. "I tried the clean boot fix, but it does not work. Also Norton 360 does not open, Windows Update is not as open, the event log does not work, System Restore has no restore points or can it create a new one, incident reports does not work. I tried to download "correction" using MS Fixit, but as soon as I get to the page and click on the download button I get the following message: "Internet Explorer could not open the Internet site. The site requested is either not available or cannot be found. "Please try again later" literally, it seems that every difficulty I try hit a dead-end. I tried to uninstall Norton360 and reinstall, but it won't let me do no more. I ran CHKDSK in command prompt and apparently there is nothing wrong with that. I tried to open Firefox, but it gives me a message telling me that Firefox is already running? It won't let me download Chrome or Safari either.

  My guess is that this is a problem with Windows Update as the Fixit research said there was a problem with some Windows Update components, well again once I am unable to make a fix on those that it gives me the message "Internet Explorer could not open the Internet site.

  Can someone please offer suggestions as to how I could escape from this cycle? I can not even save my files as my Nero BackitUp opens correctly or the other. Disaster! Also tried user account control solves, but these do not seem to work either. Help!

  Hello, Nick Ackerman,.

  This behavior occurs in Mode safe?

  If not, then let's start with a clean boot.

• Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Startup Repair prevent my laptop to turn on.

  My laptop is running slow so I thought that I would need to update something. It suggested that Windows Vista Service Pack 2 so I started to update, but I remembered that my previous laptop was having problems with Windows Vista Service Pack 2 so I canceled the update.
  I then turned off my laptop later and now when I turn it on it goes to 'Launch Startup Repair', I have let this happen, but can not solve a problem.
  I then tried "Start Windows normally", but it goes back to restart and on-screen 'launch Startup Repair '.
  Then I tried to boot into 'Safe Mode' = nothing
  I tried restoring the system but there is no date available, and he said something like "there is no diagnostic tool.
  I don't know what I can do!

  Hi carlywray,

  Your computer came with Windows Vista preloaded? If so, contact the manufacturer for the disk recovery or a method of recovery of your operating system. If you have purchased a full copy of Windows, see this Microsoft document.

• Windows Vista clocks works slowly and does not reset correctly when the computer is restarted.

  I can reset the clock via the server of internet time and after about an hour, he begins to lose time.  When you restart the laptop, the clock is not properly reset the CMOS.  I don't think I have battery problems since the clock loses time if connected to power or not.

  Thanks for the reply David.  I'm not sure that replacing the CMOS battery in a laptop is simple.  I'd appreciate an information change in a notebook Acer Aspire.

• Windows Vista computer Internet

  I have a windows vista computer, about 7 years or more. The internet worked fine, then I restored my computer to factory. I can't connect to the internet more, I think I need to update my computer but I can't do with Internet. I tried to manually update the internet card by my laptop window 10 but I can't do it yet. I also have a map of the internet 2.0 Wireless usb. that no longer works. Sometimes with connections wireless and when I type the password in the unable to connect to this network said. so I uninstalled this card. and when I try to use a cable to connect, it connects but no internet access there. any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Open Device Manager and look at the network cards.  What cards are present and they have their drivers, or they are in the wrong with a yellow! the brand?  If no network adapters are present, it may be listed as an unknown device without driver or a network controller.   Device - Manager find unknown devices

  On the other PC, see the page Web of Support downloads for the PC model to download the network card on a flash key you are using (Ethernet or wireless).  Transferer transfer on the Vista PC, install the adapter and see if you can get online.  If there is more of a network LAN driver is draw in Device Manager, the machine using material identification or download them all and try to install one at a time.

  Do the same for all the other pilots missing in Device Manager.

  Once online, speed up Windows updates in order to conform to the date that they ceased to support Vista.

• just formatted my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer

  OK, so I just format my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer, worked and connected very well before, but now nothing appears. Anything to help. Thank you

  OT:

  Please help with this

  Try this: go to "Start" then go to "Computer" right click on computer and left-click 'manage '.

  This will bring you to the management of the computer. From there, you should see the drive. Try "initialize disk".

  If you are not the "backup operator" or the "Administrator", then go to the control panel - system tools

  -Administrative Tools, then click on "disk management". From there, you can follow these instructions.

  Initialize new disks

  Backup operator or administrator is the minimum number of members required.

  To initialize new disks

  1. In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk.

  2. In the dialog box initialize the disk , select the disk to initialize. You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  	Note
  	The disk is initialized as a basic disk.

  Additional considerations

  • New disks appear as uninitialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. If you start disk management after the addition of a disk, the disk initialization Wizard appears then you can initialize the disk.

• Download error - cannot download anything on the windows vista computer.

  Original title: download error

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.

  The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

  1. what browser you use on the computer?

  2. What is the exact full error message?

  3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?

  If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.

  Method 1

  In internet explorer, you can change the default location.

  Here's how:

  a. open internet explorer.

  b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.

  c. downloads for window, click Options.

  d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.

  Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.

  Method 2

  Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
