Windows Vista 64 bit will not be upgraded for repair. Gives Windows could not configure some components.

I finally got a replacement drive and ran the upgrade (to repair) several times.  Whenever it says "Windows cannot configure some components" and restart, then try again.  I tried to run this safe mode, but apparently you cannot.  I tried to turn off.NET and recommended the other 2 programs but rwhen I opened box disable it loads for a while and then is empty.  Help, please.  I don't want to do a fresh install.

  • Vista 32 bit will not complete installation, computer says drivers are outdated.

    Hello and thank you for your interest to help me!

    My laptop MSI recently broke down after a year long and courageous, overheating I speculate... So I need to reinstall Vista, since I have no backup discs (shame on me!)... This is where it gets complicated...

    I try to install my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, sometimes to "complete installation" and then goes no further.

    I speculated, it might be wrong with the drivers, I went to the website of MSI, found my model and burn it on a CD. During the early stages of installation I chose to locate the drivers, the computer shows me those that I put on the disk, and then when I hit 'next' I am told that pilots I've selected are outdated, which is strange, because the way they come directly to the site of companies.

    Some additional info:
    -I can not start the computer in safe mode or normal mode, it keeps loading.
    -None of the partitions in computers 3 contains no data.
    -Once the computer restarted I tried to insert the disk that contains the drivers... Did nothing.

    Your help to find my poor baby and running is very appreciated!

    Overheating can cause a lot of problems in a computer.

    If the info on how to do a clean install is not enough, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    Here's how to do a clean install:

    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

    Hello buckman99,

    As you find different error codes, the best way to solve this problem would be to do a restore of the system on your computer. Choose a restore point when it was working fine.

    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

    b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    d. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    e. click Finish.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 (64-bit) will not download completely stuck at 95%

    I tried to install Service Pack 1 of Windows today on my laptop.  On one of my laptops with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit operating system Windows Update downloaded (with 4 other updates) in about an hour and installed successfully during the shut down and restart.

    However on my laptop main used with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1 stops downloading (although he says he always download or seems to be) to 95%.  The first time that I tried to download with 3 other updates to Windows, and it stuck.  I finally stopped after about 7 hours with it stuck at 95%.  Isolated, the other downloads and downloaded and installed after the reboot and did it in less than 15 minutes.  Then began to try to download only the Service Pack 1.  It has now been underway for six hours and is still stuck on download of 95%.

    Another forum on the web had a message that the Service Pack 1 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit will not download if you have installed language packs.  (Those who took me about 3-4 days to install and download due to make them one at a time because as a group they would get hung up.)  So I hope that I did not remove the language packs to get this Service Pack 1 installed on this machine.  I hope that Microsoft would have tested on a computer in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with language packs installed but maybe not...


    I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I GAVE TO MY VISTA NOW, I HAVE JUST AS MUCH TROUBLE I DID BEFORE.  ABSOLUTELY, NO DOWNLOAD FROM ANYWHERE.  I WOULD BE HAPPY TO RETURN TO XP.  DEE

    I feel for you Dolores it was extremely painful and tedious experience.  The final fix for my computer was going back to the origin by default with Windows Vista Home Premium on my computer.  Then load the software Windows 7 Ultimate.  Then the installation of updates about 100 + Windows which took place including Windows 7 SP 1.  All this has been done before loading another software (except Firefox and Chrome) on my computer.  I did it too before my security software loading, which – incidentally, roughly double the speed of downloads and other features of the computer.  Then after all the updates for Windows 7 has been done, I loaded with Microsoft Office Applications and its many updates.  After that I loaded my security software and checked for viruses.  Then rebuilt all the other features, software customization, etc. of this computer.  Literally, it took over a month to return to the same functionality that it had before the Windows 7 SP1 crashed the computer.  All I can say is thank God that I am religious about backing up files and folders, so I think I got about 95% of my files, folders, etc.

    Since the reconstruction, I didn't "major" problems with Windows 7, but I cringe when I update Windows 7 via their process of updating every Tuesday.  I also try to update not updates at the same time or too large sizes in the updates, even if it takes more time to do it this way.  I also reboot after each update whether necessary or not.  I run two registry cleaners different at least once a week, or even more often as since the failure of catostrophic SP 1 of the operating system.

    I will say this though, a lot of programs/software, I had that wouldn't work with Vista, all of a sudden work again with Windows 7.

    Good luck!

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    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...

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

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

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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

  • I can't download Windows updates or updates of Windows Defender, and my BITS will not start.

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC, and I can't get my updates of windows to download anything. My BITS will not start.

    -Processor: Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
    At 2.10 GHz, 2.10 GHz T6500
    -Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
    -System type: 64-bit operating system

    I have Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper and I recently downloaded the Malewarebytes Malware Anti.

    Whenever I try to download an update for anything, be it Itunes, Windows Defender, Windows updates, updates to HP or Microsoft Updates, they do not always arrive.

    When I go into the service menu & try to start BITS it comes up with this message:

    Windows cannot start the Service on the Local computer's Background Intelligent Transfer

    When the updates of Windows fails to download updates, it comes up with the error Code: 80246008.

    I tried to download on microsoft.com BITS Repair tool, but it is said that the tool is not necessary.

    I really need someone to help me and to understand this point for me, it's happened now for about 3 months. When I bought the laptop I had Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper installed, and I just installed Malwarebytes' Anti Malware, a week ago.

    Anyway, do the following:

    1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in # 1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. click right on the file saved in # 1 b above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

  • Home Premium 64 bit Ultimum 64-bit upgrade fails during execution. Error message: Windows cannot configure some components

    Upgrade problems. Home Premium 64-bit to 64-bit Ultimum.


    I tried several times to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64-bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit. It ends at until the end, but when it restarts, it says windows cannot configure some components and starts a restoration to Home Premium. So frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

    Both Home Premium and Ultimate out of support in two months.  One company will receive technical support from Microsoft (security patches, etc.) after April.  Here is the political Support of Vista page.  'Not applicable' entries in the column of Extended Support mean that this edition is not eligible for updates, including critical security updates, after the end of standard support on April 10, 2012.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&Alpha=Windows+Vista

    If you can, return your ultimate and buy business.  I realize that copies of business are becoming difficult to find.  Another option is to upgrade to Windows 7.  I suggest professional since Ultimate offer very little more than Pro (just the Bitlocker and multilingual support) and is also not intended for extended support after Windows 7 standard support ends after 2014.  Professional will extend support through 2019.

    Having said all this, I also had problems using the update with Vista installation option.  In many cases I resorted to the use of the custom installation option.  That does not work, but of course this means using Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings and reinstall your programs.  What I eventually learned with Vista upgrade can take all day even when all goes well, then there is not much time saved during a custom installation followed in any case of reinstalling the software.

    One thing you can try is to completely remove your anti-malware software.  Just turning it off is not enough because some antivirus programs install a watchdog on the part of the registry.  If something prevents the writing of registry entries at the end of the upgrade you so you would get a rollback.
