• 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 :-)

• Vista Home Premium boots with black bands on the sides of the screen and features limited after d/l-ing Windows updates

  Hello

  My Dell Inspiron 530 has recently started having problems starting. When I turn it on regularly, Windows Vista Home Premium starts with black bands on each side of the screen and your desktop extended / enlarged which does not display the start menu or the taskbar. I can navigate in the Panel, but when I click on the resolution of the screen, nothing happens and I'm unable to change the screen resolution. When I use CTRL and the mouse scroll wheel, I can reduce the size of the desktop icon, but the taskbar, nor start menu appears on the screen. I noticed that I can't start programs when the computer is in this State as well.

  I think that this problem started after I downloaded a game from 3 updates of Windows, but I do not know what updates they were.

  I am able to start safe mode and the office fills the screen normally. I don't know what steps I can take mode without fail to solve the problem of normal startup, however.

  Please let me know I you a glimpse into this situation because it is extremely frustrating. Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

  Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

  "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

• HP Compaq d530 SFF DIMMs do not recognize. Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit - BIOS version 02.44

  Hello HP community!

  I recently got a HP Compaq d530 SFF of the company, where I had my work experience.

  Fortunately, I took their offer and took the PC at home, everything was going well until I bought myself some new DIMM from ebuyer.com.

  I again for a fact, the computer must DDR 333 MHz, PC2700 and it must be in DIMM format, so I went and bought 3x1Go modules. A few days later they arrived and I have them inserted in the computer, ensuring that two DIMMs was in blue locations and others (I wanted to keep a 256 MB module to) in the black sites.

  I have re-inserted power cable and tried to boot the PC, he showed me a BIOS message, showing that the amount of memory has changed, since the last boot. Once the configuration is presented, he acknowledged only the 256 MB module. I then turned off the computer, and then remove the 256 MB module, to see what would happen. So, I restarted the PC, and it gave me an error (not shown) tone. To which I then tried (needles) each DIMM different to see if one of them was vice. They are all gave me the same error tone. Since then, I've been running Windows Vista Home Premium, with 1 GB (4x256MB DIMM).

  Maybe someone has a suggestion how to fix this?

  I've already updated the version of the BIOS at 02.44 (later I could find).

  Thanks in advance!

  Yours sincerely Simon Cahill

  Beatsleigher,

  Not all memory is the same, even when picking PC2700. Did you buy non ECC?

• Windows Vista Home Premium update problem step 3 of 3-100% complete

  My Windows Vista Home Premium began the automatic update, reached the point of view "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-100% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »

  Now he's just running for hours with this screen showing...

  I can't say if this update will end finally alone, or if there is a problem and I should just reboot.

  How long should I wait before abandoning me and shut down the computer?

  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

• KB2296011 causes the blank screen in Windows Vista Home Premium?

  I'm troubleshooting an issue with an installation of Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop. After Tuesday October 12 updates, the laptop goes to a blue screen after authentication with any account. There is a mobile cursor mouse, but nothing else. C/a. gives the menu, but "Start Task Manager" has no effect, restart will only work.

  I am able to login normally mode without failure. Remove the update KB2296011 removes the problem, I narrowed down it to only this update. It is now necessary to restart and use system restore to go back before this particular update to access Windows.

  I did the following to troubleshoot:

  (1) I tried to install the system update tool, which had no effect.

  (2) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually after downloading, the problem returns after installing.

  (3) I tried to install the KB2296011 update manually mode without failure by another post here, but this is not possible, which gives the following error: "Windows Update Standalone Installer: Installer encountered an error: 0x8007043c.»  This service cannot be started in Mode safe. »

  It seems up to present have no way to obtain this update to install without the origin of the white screen issue. Please advice, thank you.

  OK, it looks like at this will be my last post.

  This technician seems to address the issue much differently from the rest. After the things we have done in my previous post, he seems convinced that the problem occurs when this security update is installed, it thinks it's UAC which is damaged, and possibly other files. If its resolution suggested the problem is to run a repair on Vista installation, in order to repair potentially damaged or corrupted files. This would correspond well with hijackware theory posted earlier, too.

  It seems door by another symptom not reported to me or noticed until now. With or without UAC enabled, standard users cannot connect. It passes the connection, in the preparation of your office for a disconnection. Administrative users can connect very well. As the primary user of the machine is an administrator (of course!), this was not noticed until I created a Standard user to test and found this problem.

  I hope than a repair installation (or even better, an upgrade, as I prefer to simply wipe the HD and start over) will solve the problem. The machine has 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz dual core chip, so I think it can handle very well (my wife does mobile) Win7.

  I hope that all of this novel, we have written here will help others as well.

• How to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

  Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Here's my question: -.

  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?

  2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-

  (a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?

  (b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?

  (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?

  Looking forward to the responses, thank you.

  Do you a clean install from 32 bit to 64 bit.

  You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail

  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.

• Need advice/help on Windows Vista Home Premium OS

  Hello. I use Windows Vista Home Premium for 2009. In the last months, I was faced with a lot of problems and I was wondering if I should re - install the operating system to eliminate the problems or is it better to upgrade to a newer version of Windows? My PC is too slow, it has recently been virus-ed, and every once in awhile, I get an error message saying "operating system not found '. Another problem is that some of the USB ports/CD readers simply do not work. I tried to install/upgrade to update drivers based on the information I see on the forums here and it works for a while, but later goes back to send me some *. Would appreciate some advice/help in this regard. Thanks, M.

  Hi, Meh17,

  "Operating System not found"

  This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

  • The basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.
  • The hard drive is damaged.
  • Sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

    Note Some third-party programs or the alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

  • An incompatible partition is marked as Active.
  • A partition that contains the MBR is no longer active.

  Contact the manufacturer of your hardware

  Perhaps your best bet is contact the manufacturer of your computer or your hard drive. The manufacturer may have a utility that you can use to perform a more detailed analysis for the damaged areas of the disk and help verify the correct BIOS settings. However, the damage on your hard drive can be severe. Sometimes, this means that your only solution is to replace your hard drive.

• need an iso file to install windows for windows vista Home premium 32-bit

  I have a product key, but need Windows vista Home Premium (32 bit) ISO because I lost the part recovery partition

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  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:

  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
