  Let me soce entry details:

  1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
  It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
  2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
  3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
  That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?

• Services of Windows Vista 64 does not, please help!

  Hi thanks for reading.

  Noticed the other day my firewall is not running. A few weeks ago my AVG anti virus asked me if I wanted to move to a premium account for a 30 day trial and contained their own version of a firewall. He said that he would resort to Windows Firewall when finished.

  30 days passed, and he asked me to return to the original settings and the free version. I don't check if windows firewall started running.

  And so back when I noticed.

  What Ive tried: Panel > Security > windows firewall - says "windows firewall does not use recommended settings to help protect your computer" and there is a button for "update settings now" which when you click on it, I get the thing of glass hour for a few seconds and nothing happens.

  Run > services.msc > Windows Firewall - said State 'arrested' firewall service and when you are prompted to start, gives me error 6801

  Also noticed now that windows update and windows Defender will not be updated. Windows update search updates, but up quickly the code Error 80070426 and once again, to enforce > services > windows update/defender does not work.

  Then in flicking around, I have observed under the information system in 'computer' tab, he says: 'this copy of windows is not activated, click here to activate now' and Im thinking it is crazy! I have not had my PC very long, but I have activated vista right after that I installed it when buying. If I click on the link, and it says: 'a problem occurred when Windows tried to activate. Error code 0x80070426

  Edit: just thought of something that can help. Awhile back, before this all started, windows update prompted me one afternoon to install Service Pack 2 and I thought "why not?" Well, after a complete system failure and me to have my friend rally and he manages to get into the command prompt and run 2 types of checkdisk, I go back to my computer. Now, I don't think it off anything, or whatever it may be disabled, but something could have been damaged?

  IM puzzled and any help would be massively appreciated! If anyone needs more info, let me know!

  Vista Home Premium 64-bit
  Intel Core2Duo E8400 2x3ghz

  Windows Vista Ultimate settles not on this laptop. Vista hangs after the installation and does not start. Someone knows what's the problem?

  Hello

  As mentioned above the hardware of the laptop must be compatible and must be able to manage the Vista. The M40 is certainly not Vista capable
  But I have installed Vista on the A50 and this laptop is no longer able to Vista but I upgraded the RAM and HARD drive and it works.
  Of course, the many features of Vista like Aero don t run but I was able to install it.

  I use Windows Vista 64 bit on a laptop of Ed. When I first bought my laptop 4 months ago, it worked.  I have the windows switcher icon in the taskbar, but when you access the Windows I have open turn out.  I get a box on the screen with all the windows open as an icon instead of the windows open, floating on the desktop, so you can scroll through them.  I tried to go to the "customization" and "windows color and appearance ' and that 'windows aero' is selected and clicked OK and apply, but it does not work.  When you try to "switch" I always get the box in the middle of the screen.

  Hello

  Try to update your display and video driver using the methods below.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  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 it.

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

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  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.

• My Windows Vista computer does not see the network or printers that are connected to a computer using Windows XP

  before that norton was installed, it worked, but since Norton was installed AND DELETED, Vista will not see XP or its printers.

  I have checked the firewall and they took two computers, but still no luck.

  Hello

  Did you change your computer?

  This problem occurs if the (LLTD) link layer topology discovery Responder component is not installed on the Windows XP computer.

  Network card in Windows Vista makes network diagrams of connections between network devices that can be used to troubleshoot connectivity issues. Network map uses a discovery protocol called Link-Layer Topology LLTD (Discovery) that queries other devices on the network to determine how the network is organized.

  Windows Vista includes the software components that implement the LLTD protocol. For other devices on the network to display on the map, they must activate a discovery protocol that can meet the demands of mapping from the Windows Vista-based computer.

  I suggest you to install the update on windows XP.
