• creating Windows dvd burning only the aspect 4:3, even when set to 16:9 ratio.

  Burns maker Windows dvd only the aspect ratio 4:3, even when the value 16:9.was ok in vista, but not the case in windows 7 too movie maker in windows 7 is garbage.this pure direct essential bundle is rubbish.why should set us up with that? I bet that there is no answer. tried to download older versions of movie maker work. but you get directed to this essential live bundle .any way this isn't the end of the world.as, I did a few dvd place pods...

  Always the same question on 8 January 2015. Windows Movie Maker produces video files in 16 / 9, but Windows DVD Maker that requires to 4:3 when burning a DVD, regardless of the settings.

  Again, I tried severale time and again on April 24, 2015, the ratio has to be 4:3!

  Too bad because I like the creation of DVD menu.

  I found the solution... very simple and it will work every time. before you burn the DVD with windows DVD creation, make sure you 'exit' your video to mpeg2 format, no matter what software you use to edit your videos, make sure you "output" your finished video in MPEG2 before burning with windows DVD maker

  MPEG2 is a DVD format that windows DVD maker recognizes and so it will burn your video ratio 16.9 this video will play on any DVD player. AVI WMV formats won't work even if you copy with movie maker then MPEG2... This is the key ~ MPEG2 ~ that's the secret.

  Unfortunately, Movie Maker stores projects only as MPEG-4 (.mp4) or Windows Media Video (.wmv).

  If your solution is another problem. We should convert mp4 or wmv in MPEG-2, how?

  Why Windows has no simple and direct way to burn DVD screen wide ratio?

• Windows Vista freezing, problems starting mode safe mode, Windows Update does not work, etc.

  Hi all. I am operating Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit on an HP Pavilion dv6000.

  My problems started about two months ago, when I installed several updates through Windows Update. I started having problems with my USB ports (even if these pilots were not being updated) and the computer was never able to close successfully. I tried to uninstall these updates, but that did not fix the questions I had. I have also installed software (AutoCAD 2007) at the same time and uninstalled, nothing helps.

  Then my computer started to freeze after running for a few minutes. Time seems to vary from 5 minutes of good use for 1 hour, but I found that it works only because this so long, I only open a program or file and use it all the time (for example, reading a book in Adobe Acrobat format). If I try to open the program or additional files, go to control panel, etc. (read: if I do everything related to Windows Explorer) the computer crashes. I can still move my cursor but none of the windows meet, and I can't ctrl + alt + delete to enter the Task Manager (I get a black screen).

  I was manually shut down my computer every time that happens and boot in SafeMode several times. Sometimes when I try to start safe mode it is hampering the crcdisk file and turns off. It happens not every time, however. Sometimes, when it starts it running the disk check, and there has been some index files that it has been deleted and orphaned files that it has been moved.

  I tried to do a system restore to a point before the updates I've installed in October, but my computer has no points system, restore even if he says it was their creation before you install these updates.

  The last problem is that when I go to Windows Update, it says that I have never checked for or downloaded the updates in the 15 months that I've had the computer - is not true, I, he lost at the time of all the record of it. So although I would like to provide you with wonderful with a record of what I've updated and people uninstalled, I can't because all this information is gone. In addition, I can't connect to the internet to try to check the news updates, because our internet service runs a USB modem, which is not communicating properly with my computer.

  I hope someone has an idea of what's going on. I just can't understand the common point that all these questions arise, my technology skills are somewhat limited, so I hope for a relatively easy solution.

  Sarah

  BTW, all my files were backed up on external drives.

  I don't know Jack about computers, but I don't know that I went through almost exactly the same thing.  My pc was ok, then in a month or two, it took a nose dive.  something I did was too that much could not think of everything.  A friend told me to reset my bios to default settings and see what happens.  After having spent only 7 hours trying to teach myself on bios, I got stabbed in this area and it worked.  Everything is great runnng.  Now I can even right click on icons without crashing.

• Cause updates Windows vista freeze on configuration after reboot

  Hi, I have problems with the Windows Vista updates that are causing my computer to freeze the configuration step once the computer has been restarted. He gets updates 3-0% 1 configuration but does not progress. I have then turn off and start in safe mode to restore the system. The updates are: KB2559049, KB2536276, KB2556532, KB2563894, KB2567680, KB905866, KB2563227, KB2570791, KB915597.

  I tried install one at a time and only managed to install updates, but those above seem to prevent the computer from freezing as described.

  I had an infection maleware a couple of months (the one who pretended to be the windows Security Center and tries to make you buy software). I removed it with Malewarebites. I did at least a success many updates as a result - and then, these problems started when I treid to do this series of updates. I read in other issues of the forum that the maleware could be the cause of my problems to update and that maybe I need to format and reinstall windows. Is this correct?

  Thank you in anticipation

  Thank you very much for your help. I tried to use the patch program in suggestion (1). This did not help. In the end, I have solved the problem by starting the computer in safe mode. This allowed then updates the installation (the case as on normal start up the computer froze as he tried to set up the updates). Then I have to restart the computer normally without any problems. I have no idea why it worked! Thanks again.

• I want to reinstall Windows Vista, but I do not have a disk when I bought the laptop; I don't have product key, however; What should I do?

  My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

  Hello

  Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...

  Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.

  See which is more easy for you.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Windows (vista) Photo Gallery matter duplicates

  Photo Gallery only import new photos and ignore duplicates of those already on the top of the tower. I just inserted a 1 GB card (I used this card for ages and I know it's ok) and he wants to import all content (more than 800) when I know there are only a few dozen new photos there. I experimented with a smaller map and lot (only 30 or MORE) were imported as duplicates, but when I asked to import again it said (accurately) that there are no new photos on the map, what is happening?

• I have Windows Vista Business Edition. What I need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or can it be any version of Windows 7?

  I currently have vista 32 professional and I want to upgrade to windows 7, I understand that I must use windows 7 Professional

  is this correct and just use the regular windows 7 pro upgrade disc?

  original title: Vista Business 32 - windows 7

  If you want to make a room upgrade, you can use Windows 7 Pro 32-bit - you can buy and use the upgrade version. You can also buy Home Premium, but will need to perform a custom installation.

  How to upgrade to Windows 7:

  If you have Vista:

  Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

  Custom installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom

  Then my computer run Windows 7?
  Basic system requirements are listed below.  Features have additional requirements.

  • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  • 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  • Graphical device DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

  Run Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you need to install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/UpgradeAdvisor

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
