Hello

I have Windows Vista Home Premium running on Lenovo laptop. Recently, I cann't open the browser IE, the same panel. I don't have a Vista CD. But I have the product key provided with the laptop. Please, help me to make it fully operational as before.

Assuming that you can always connect to your computer in normal mode:

Run a check of the filesystem to find corrupted files and repair them if possible.

Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click on cmd.exe > click run as
Administrator
> in this window type cmd black and white, on the
flashing fast sfc/scannow > press the ENTER key.
Note: there is a space between
'sfc' and ' / '.
To sit and wait. It will take time.
When finished, exit the cmd window.
Reboot (restart your computer)

After that, check if you can run the computer as well as to access the IE.
If IE still does not work, use the following tutorials...

  • Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband

    I saw no answer to this problem.  Can anyone help?

    Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G.  The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless.  Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.

    Summary:
    Vista / Netgear wired - work
    Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
    XP / Netgear wireless - work

    I went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop.  I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft.  I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista.  Any ideas?

  • Windows 7 complete edition; Windows Update does not work, cannot install SP1 failed to install Security Essentials, ect...

    I have a laptop Alienware M17x R2 that was running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Recently, the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system using my recovery disks.
    Loading Windows 7 Ultimate without SP1 recovery disks. I find that I can not get Windows Update in order to run - it says that "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. »
    I rebooted the computer several times, without success. When I go into Services, the Windows Update Service is running and the value "automatic (delayed start). Remote procedure call is also started. The Background Intelligent Transfer Service is currently not started and is set to "Manual".

    I ran Fixit of Windows Update and Windows Update diagnosis, without result. The diagnosis of WU came up with two questions: "registration for the Service is missing or corrupt - fixed" and "the recent updates - fixed installation problems.

    I also downloaded the SP1 from the Microsoft Download site and tried to install it. Installation failed with error code "E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000ffff).

    I tried to run the system update readiness tool, but it has also failed with an error "0xc8000247."

    I also tried to download and install Microsoft Security Essentials. Which is also impossible to install with an error code '0x8004FF91 '.

    I did a clean boot, but SP1 still wouldn't install and Windows Update still does not work.

    Then I made a new reinstall of the operating system of the drive Alienware Windows 7 Ultimate original, with essentially the same result. I couldn't update anything. I'm kind of pulling my hair at this point... the machine has worked until the hard drive crashed.

    Anyone has any ideas on where to go from here?

    Update - fixed

    It turns out that v Intel Matrix Storage Manager 8.9 which was supplied with Dell/Alienware had some problems. Download and install the latest version of the available from Dell Intel Rapid Storage Technology and everything seems to work very well. The download was not available when looking for specific drivers for the serial number of the machine. However, he did appear when you perform a general search for the M17x. All right...

  • Windows Vista does not work for all programs requiring administrator rights

    I have Windows Vista Business SP1 on a Dell XPS laptop. He worked from 3-4 years. It seems that after a recent update (in the last week), I rebooted the laptop and after that Vista can not run programs that require administrator privileges. This includes most of the items in the Panel, the observer of events, computer management, elevated command prompt and so on.

    After logging in, I get a notification of the task bar that says "Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy."

    When I try to any program requiring administrative privileges (for example, msconfig), I get an error "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\system32\msconfig.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again"

    I restored the system (from safe mode) for a day where it seems to be ok, but the problem remains.

    The sound in the system tray icon is a trademark of the Red Cross on it, but sounds work ok.

    Analyses of virus through McAfee (all installed updates and latest virus definitions) showed no signs of the virus.

    As already mentioned in the original post, System Restore does not resolve the problem. I got to the new vista installation to fix the problem. Some windows updates and reboot after applying the update seems to be the cause.
