  • Eliminate the prompt at startup to sign as an administrator or guest in Windows Vista Home Premium

    I write on behalf of a client. The customer wants to know how to remove the prompt at startup to sign as an administrator or guest in Windows Vista Home Premium. I hope to hear from you.

    The computer does NOT prompt you to sign any particular account.
    He simply open a connection with all available accounts screen and the user must specify the logon account.

    The user has an option to configure the computer automatically log on to the user account without going through the login screen.
    BUT, to do that, the user must be administrator or in possession of an admin password.

  • Unable to start boot corrupted files Windows Vista Home premium

    Hello all recently I got my hands on an old Toshiba laptop Satellite I'm supposed to have attachment to a friend, however, she doesn't remember the password for the laptop so I searched for ways to circumvent the password and delete it however, I ran into a major problem, according to the wiki site , how you put in a family of Windows Vista installation disc premium, you select your country and all that say before you install is a repair of your computer, but I can't so I thought well maybe if I hit install that it will recognize that there are already Windows Vista on the computer however to my dismay that it did not so I canceled the installation but now the computer does not even boot into Vista at all he'll just do Startup Repair whenever whenever it starts "Windows loading files" I already tried several things the bootrec command using command prompt without success, I tried to restore the master boot record by using the command-line without success either, here are the details as seen from the Startup Repair tool: signature of the problem GREATER TOMBENT AUTO there is also one that says corrupt boot configuration data and who says fix partition table I look it up online that I mean who is the code which is the ID of locale 1033 I looked up the exact problem this forum and he said if there is the disconnect a USB connected the problem with that is there is no USB device connected. To clarify what I said earlier about wiki, how what I tried to do initially was put in the trunk of installation disk from the CD in the environment of the installation, then click on repair your computer so that I could use CMD to reset the password online, I have seen that you can change the keys to self-retaining pull up of CMD by modifying the ease of access button but I thought that it would be easier because I don't have to understand how to fix the ease of access button after I did. So now I am at a loss as to what I could do next to important things to note that this computer doesn't have system restore points stored on it so it is not an option if you do not understand something please let me know and thank you for your suggestions. PS I will try a disk check, now that I think of it.

    Hello all I was able to restore the computer back in working order without password, I did however have download and burn a copy of Vista Home premium at my discretion. But I use the product key legally reactivate Windows Vista Home premium but I have to say that the search for the driver for this laptop has not been easy, especially the pilot Wi - Fi that I had to go

    burn it to a disk, and then install the software in this way. I really don't know not how I got the display driver correct because I downloaded the driver two booster and then the next minute it was display driver just because I checked on the user manual on Toshiba.com and it was the correct an Intel 3000 graphics thank you all so much for your help and I hope this helps someone else :-)

  • Fix Windows Vista Home Premium through re-setup

    After that Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 kept getting the application hangs and therefore do not start quickly, correctly, restart or shut down, even in Safe Mode, it has become virtually indispensable for me to use cleanup utility by Acronis software black Armor backup drive Seagate to remve my local ACER vista hard drive PC desktop Aspire (ACER) C... and then temporarily install Windows XP(Service Pack 2 to start puis par le biais de mises à) Automatic day, Service Pack 3) to help the reinstallation of Vista, because I do not have a Windows Vista CD.   Acer had only installed Vista on the PC but apparently provided no backup for this operating system reinstallation CD. This, in turn, which caused difficulties for activation will be resolved by reinstalling Vista.  In what way, other than emailing Acer personal, then waiting for the purchase of CD to arrive, I can download it then re - install Windows Vista Home Premium so that I can easily reactivate Productdocumentation can comfortably upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows 7?

    We don't know what you did on the Acer recovery Partition.

    Here's the General info re reinstall Vista (your XP installation does NOT come in the advice given):

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact Acer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, ACER is Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

    Thank you.

    Hi JIB1955,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

    Please let us know if you make any progress this way

    1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?

    (c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?
