Windows Vista Home Basic Edition keeps looping and will not start

• Windows VISTA Home Prem on DELL Inspiron 1521 will not start

  Read the message below. It has been copied from another thread and the poster has been informed to start a new thread with his question. What is ironic, is that I have exactly the same problem on my Dell.

  After downloading some updates to Vista my Dell desktop computer restarted and tried to load step 3 updates, it moves very quickly from 0% to 100% and then restarts, only to go back into the same loop of trying to set up step 3 and restart.

  I tried the following, starting in safe mode, same results updates are trying to configure.

  Auto repair, I am told by a message, it cannot be repaired.

  System Restore, I have only 2 system shown to restore points and they are at the time of the upgrade, if I try these points to restore I get an error message.

  I tried to reboot from the original installation provided CD but all I get is 'windows is copying files', then a black screen.

  I tried the boot iso but neosoft option again to the message windows is to copy the files, and then the black screen.

  I'm in thr stage where I can not think of anything else other that to go to a data recovery specialist, to recover the files most important (have over 200 GB of various things on the hard disk) and then reset to factory settings and load data and try and find the sources of all the programs that I had. It looks like an enormous task and it is the main computer for my business. If a kind soul has suggestions as to how I can get this situation somehow, I would be eternally grateful.

  Thanks in advance

  I'm fairly warned to get to a point to get my data before a complete reconstruction, however, I give that easy. Anyone else having this problem. I'd really like to find a way to solve.

• I can't reinstall windows Vista Home Basic Edition to my Compaq presario laptop

  Hello
  I want to format my 'C' drive and reinstall windows Vista Home Basic Edition for my 'compaq presario laptop.
  When I lived with my recovery disk, it has been fine until "loading windows files" and taking me to the recovery / restore point but not with the format options (GUI).

  Hello

  With this HP Compaq recovery process, it's a different process than the installation with the Microsoft DVD

  There is a section slightly more than 1/2 at the bottom of this link from HP showing you how to reinstall Vista using their recovery disks.

  my windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not show the Office when I log in. it shows only a green screen. I tried all the options in F8 mode with no result. How can I fix it without losing any information on the hard drive?

  Hello

  1 - do you mean that you get the green screen even in safe mode?

  2 did you recent hardware or software changes to your computer before this problem?

  If you are unable to start desktop even in safe mode, then you try to perform the verification and startup repair.

• A POP-UP MESSAGE WARNING EXPIRATION OF WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC EDITION

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario V 3000, purchased by me on May 28, 2008 in Bangalore, India (Reliance digital) and delivered to me preloaded with Windows Vista Home Basic with a label number key to the laptop. (The 20 product ID numbers is also known).

  It worked OK all along.

  (For the PAST 3 DAYS, I get the following pop-up message when I boot on):

  THIS FIRST VERSION OF WINDOWS HOME BASIC WILL EXPIRE IN SEVEN DAYS. BACK UP YOUR FILES AND THEN INSTALL no matter WHAT EDITION OF WINDOWS (message on today morning: March 24, 2010).

  I'm confused by this warning that I have a lot of data stored in my laptop (with HDD of 160 GB and 2 GB of RAM).

  I'll be very grateful to expert MS Forum for helping me solve this problem of EMERGENCY, as I am only left with more than seven days!

  Thanking you,

  You should backup your data NOW by purchasing an external hard drive and copy your data files on it. Then, I would give the store where you bought it a call. If they do not, call the HP technical support immediately. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition does not detect networks wireless scope.

  running Windows Vista Home Basic on my counter top and it will not locate wireless... period. I know at least 3 in the box and he is always telling me that there are no wireless networks detected.

  On a side note, I installed my router wireless on my laptop (so I know it works!) and have successfully installed on my desktop as well (or if the installation wizard tells me) the top round works on vista premium and office is vista home basic, but for some reason, the office is always telling me there are no available wireless networks. I went through the installation wizard for my router wireless twice now and still that it prove when I go to "connect to a network.

  As much as I know there is no 'Wireless' or switch to be turned on anyway... There may be a command prompt to enable the wireless function?

• Windows Vista Home Basic - problem with the icons does not meet various Windows services after trying to download updates

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft

  worm post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.

  Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).

  To start your computer in safe mode, you can check the link below:http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx>

• Backup "to a network' grayed out for Windows Vista Home Basic Edition

  Dear Forum:

  Vista Home Basic SP - 2, Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 (signed on as "Administrator" on both machines)

  I'm trying to back up data residing on Vista Home Basic machine on a shared drive on Win XP Pro machine on an ethernet network.  When I run backup and restore Vista HB machine, backup "to a network' option remains greyed out.

  From now on, I can read and write in the public records of the Vista machine from the Win XP Pro machine and I can read and write to disk shared Win XP Pro machine from Vista HB machine.

  I apologize if the question has been discussed previously.  I appreciate all help to address this issue.

  -Kevin N

  I'm sorry, but Windows Vista Basic cannot save to a network location.  It can only back up to a local disk.

  Backup to a network location requires a more advanced version of Windows Vista.

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition has been reinstalled and I would like to uninstall it

  I would like to uninstall windows vista. We have now old windows with all our files on it and windows with nothing on it. I would uninstall the last installation and simply go back to the old. It's on a lenovo. It's my friends computer.

  Hi, Cheryl l.,

  Your system must have a Windows CD.  Insert the CD and restart your system.  When the press and the button to start the CD-ROM appears, press on and keys.  Install a new copy of Windows.

• I ran the Windows memory diagnostic tool, he keeps repeating and will not be finished, finally Boot Manager Windows appears with the error code: 0xc000000d.

  I ran the windows memory diagnostic tool on my PC toshiba laptop equium, it restarts priming for display and then directly into the RAM test...
  Unfortunately, it will not end and keeps repeating and finally if leave to work for a few hours the Windows Boot Manager comes in and stops the RAM test while noting an error 0xc000000d code. I REALLY can't reformat what I have given crucial for the thesis of the University and I only have the Vista installation disc not repair...
  This RAM test shows whenever I start the PC, how can I forget that he spent his RAM test a pc and more? I'm so confused!

  Any ideas on how may get a repair disk or fix it otherwise? Thank you very much

  Run Memtest86 +: your computer passes this test?

  Memtest86 + is running from a floppy or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.

  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  Hello

  VMware Server Web Access (tomcat6) works just as well? (I think - Yes - but I want to be sure)

  Check the host for IPv4 entry file: 127.0.0.1 localhost

  You use the Web user interface as an administrator?

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Acer laptop wireless, Linksys router and connect Lexmark X 9350 wireless network.

  I'm tired... I tried everything I can think of, as well as everything I can find online in order to connect my printer Lexmark X 9350 WiFi for my Acer laptop which is connected to my home network wireless via my linksys router. At the same time, the printer has been set up through my existing wireless network and was working properly. (FOR A SINGLE DAY!) Then I got the bright idea to installNorton Anti Virus Security. Since then, my printer stopped working through the wireless network. It works as a stand-alone Copier and fax machine, but nothing of the printer.  I contacted Lexmark via online support, but their suggestions did not work or were so confusing that it would take a computer technology to interpret the instructions to correct the problem. I learned more about the Wi - Fi networks and computer by trial and error, I should be able to re - connect my printer the eyes bandaged.  Help, please... This problem is ongoing for weeks. Thank you so much in advance.

  Just a thought, as you say it started with Norton check his firewall exceptions:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

  Permissions/Share info is there as well.

  If you use Norton, make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

  See you soon.
