Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "ofhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
     http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

NB: The free McAfee trial will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run theMcAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application.

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

  • Windows 7 can not find updates

    Recently, I discovered that my machine was not automatically download and install updates since early August.  The laptop is several years old; I bought it new, and it came with Windows 7.  That's what I've tried so far:

    Turn off everything except the MS in MSConfig services.

    Download and run this file: WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab.

    Temporarily disable my antivirus Eset.

    None of them worked.  I'm poking around the Download Center, but could not find a chronological list of updates to download manually.

    Any suggestions?

  • Windows Vista will not install updates.

    I came across Best Buy, bought the first thing I have seen & to the left. It's just the small things. My main PC is myPC music recording studio (never online) so for my this, that I bought... I don't care.

    a m9402f 7.00 GB 64-bit system quad-core 2.30 Ghz procesor.  On the 626 GB on the 'C' drive, I only used GB 129.  I don't know why I've bothered w/a Seagate external extreem HD 1000GO?  Works great, I've never used one before Vista but works very well.

    Thus, recent updates do not keep install .  What's up with the updates? What is happening with this? Should I just go buy Windows 7?  I spend hours looking for solutions and never ask for help, but this time I am so tired so I'm going to ask.  Below are updates that keep a failure... Notice they're on SP2 * and IE8. My PC alread had installed SP2.  I tried an update for this.  I have switch from IE 7 to 8. I don't see any other reasons.

    Hello, I run the servers at my work, and systems are 64-bit.  It would be just that sometimes your system needs to do things differently running 32-bit.  Not sure why they choose to divide them, but that's how it is on my servers.

    Hi webchikk61,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         (Numbers KB) updates you install?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  • Windows 8 could not apply updates, changes, without system restart

    Hi, I have a question for the community. I inherited laptop family which had been neglected for a year or two, and the user only became interested in this topic when it became virtually unusable. Usually, I have no problem to fix things, but this one left me speechless. I am preparing him to be his main portable College. All answers are appreciated! Thank you.

    The problem

    1. The first thing I did was clean reallyyyy good. The anti-virus scanner found and quarantined 17 virus, and 74 infected files and those isolated thus found malware scanner. I did two of each type of scan, and he showed clean. So I don't know, I work with a system bug free.
    2. Then I went to Windows Update and saw that there were 102 important updates waiting to be installed. I laughed pretty hard and then install them. There is no problem downloading or installation of updates, and it prompted me to restart my computer.
    3. After the restart, he said briefly that he was applying updates. And then he said: "failure Configuring Windows Updates. Changes in recovery', and he stays on this screen for nearly an hour and let me finally reconnect.
    4. To ebb in Windows Update, it has installed updates not listed as 'Impossible '.

    What I tried

    1. The tool for troubleshooting Windows 8 "online, Mr. Fix it."
    2. Online draft and the installation of the Windows update that updates the Windows Update program (I don't have the number on me, but I can pick up if necessary)
    3. Installation of a few at a time
    4. Only install the update as soon as possible
    5. Update of article 8.1; He won't let me not until I install the remaining updates, which I am obviously unable to do

    Systems specifications

    • HP laptop
    • Windows 8.0
    • 30 months of age
    • Zero, a hardware or software issues that are known (in addition to Windows Update)
    • Processor i3

    What can I do? I did the basic troubleshooting steps, and I thought before that I really jack he is trying obscure solutions I should post LOL. Thank you!!!

    Thanks for your help. All those who came negative, and I decided to re install windows 8.

    And after adding only two programs of installing the base, YET the the DO COULD NOT.

    Of course, here, I could see that he had to now be one of the two programs, Google Chrome and Comodo Antivirus.

    It turns out that these errors were caused by a misconfigured firewall and an excess of zeal, even if my comodo firewall with the same settings on Windows 7 had no problems.

    But apparently, it considers that the program Windows Update in Windows 8 is a bit sketchy haha.

    A simple rule change fixed it! Thank you.

  • Windows Vista could not start and wants me to run the Startup Repair tool BUT

    It does not work... it takes forever and then asks me to load the drivers... where are they located? I can't find them on my Vista disk or my drivers disk... using a Dell Studio 17...

    When he goes into repair mode it gives a big arrow after about three or four minutes... then in another five he asks for keyboard language, then select the driver...

    where should I go from here? I know that this has already been answered, but I can't seeem to get there

    Here is an article from Dell on how to do a manual reinstall of the operating system (but note this is a clean install and not a system/upgrad repair install so it will wipe clean all the process data): http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?docid=339949.

    If you have an Installation of Vista genuine disc, you may be able to do an installation of repair/upgrade of the system (which would be better than the above option).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.  If you have problems to install the drivers, read the article above by Dell on how to obtain and install the drivers - it should apply in this case as well.

    If your system is still under warranty, contact the Support technique Dell and they probably have you will help with your problem over the phone free.  If she is no longer under warranty, there are still a few options of support at their Support Center who may be able to help. http://support.dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs& ~ ck = mn or http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/contact_technical_support?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs.  \
