  I tried and tried to install the updated Windows vista 32 bit service pack 1, but also try to update manually, however I continuously get the update error 80073712. I tried the scan tool update service, troubleshooting automatic on the Microsoft Support Web site, as well as research on the Microsoft Answers site for more assistance. However, I still have the same problem, then what else could be the cause so many dell used laptops for not updating this service pack. Either way, I haven't installed service pack 2 either, as I mentioned on some of the answers.

  Yesterday, I downloaded the Windows Vista Service Pack 2.  Now, 10 minutes after turning on my computer, my internet browser and all other open windows will be freezes and I have to manually turn off the computer.   I was forced to repeat this cycle about 10 times already.  I tried the system restore, but it was a mistake not identified, so that the system could not be restored successfully.  I also tried to uninstall the Service Pack, but that no longer works.  Help, please.

• Product ID of Windows Vista-Home Premium 2007 Service Pack 2 is with an OEM product key.

  Hello & thanks to anyone who reads this message & can help.

  It's what I've done all I wanted to do was to change my old email address on my windows mail to another email address.

  I contacted my internet provider technical support to change the addresses e-mail & settings so I was able to access the e-mail address that I wanted to use windows mail. They tried their new settings, they recently tried, but had no luck, so they have tried using their old/normal parameters & always been unlucky? He kept coming up with an error for the two parameters & not could not send the test email that he was trying to send back to me.

  My internet provider tech support guy said, maybe I had a virus (that I know that I don't have), or maybe something wrong with my settings for windows mail or something is wrong with windows or the program & contact line of microsoft support.

  Microsoft technical support said they cannot help me because I have an OEM product key & if I wanted to get help through windows I had to pay money to get help or contact with this site I am trying now.

  I don't know what I would do in the future? I always update my laptop with the updates of windows/microsoft who cross & always am aware constantly check & make all my microsoft security essentials for updates & scans?

  I hope someone can help me with my problem & understand what I wrote?

  I have to update my system or programs to have & to the best software/programs & do what I originally planned to do with my emails?

  My laptop Windows is too old?

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  As Vista is preinstalled on your computer (OEM license), Microsoft charges you for support if you use them. They had good reason to send you to the Microsoft answers Forums

  The way you must have Windows Mail put in place is to use the e-mail address and other parameters as your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you; not an e-mail address that you want to use.

  They are the ones that provide all the information for you.

  You need them: parameters Username, Password, mailserver and mail out Servier

  Here is the information from Microsoft on how to set up Windows Mail:

• I have the Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium Service Pack 2 operating system

  My problem is, the operating system is already installed on my computer, but I do not have the disk?

  I have the key product etc....
  How to make a copy of the operating system only?  So if my computer crashes and I can not load anything, I want to be able to load with my operating drive.  How can I do this?  My hard drive starts to disappear.
  Step by step guide.

  If you have an OEM version of the operating system of Windows pre-installed, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer and request a set of recovery disks.

  Note: The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

  Usually, just by pressing F11 continuously during the computer startup to display a boot menu offering the option you need.

• Problems after doing a clean install of Vista Home Premium and service pack 2

  I see that others have the same problem as me, but there is no way to comment (that I can see) on the thread I've read.  After a lot of problems, I did a clean install of VISTA Home Premium (came with my Dell PC) and when I installed service pk2, all of the same problems that led me to do a clean install appeared.  I can't the computer to recognize and install the keyboard and the mouse of the blue tooth. (Don't tell me to contact the manufacturer, because they came w / the computer and say "Dell" on them!)  He told me that the enumerator does not work.  Then I launched Quicken, and when I tried to save a registry check for print, he gave me the msg "Quicken launcher has stopped working".  He was a key reason I did a clean install.  The only improvement is that I can at least open Quicken, which he would not let me do before.  How to uninstall service pack 2?
