Windows Vista Home premium fresh install on a new SSD. Will not take any updates?
Well, it will install that then it would download 122 updates after installing the windows updates just restart in a loop. If I go into safe mode it will complete step 3, and then restarts loop once again, if I restart and return in safe mode it will remove all updates but does not start in normal mode. Help, please.
Hello
I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.
(a) boot with the Vista DVD / disque disk recovery, select Repair Options , and then select command prompt (no admin password needed that way)
(b) now type C: (or any directory of your system files are located)
c) cd windows/winsxs
d) del pending.xml
(e) then close and restart the computer.
I also suggest you to update all the drivers of the computer as well.
Reference:--

If I install Windows Vista Home Premium to my Windows XP is it go faster?
Hi, I want to know if I install Windows Vista Home Premium on my Windows XP Home Edition it will go faster? Now, Windows XP is very slow and my son wants to play online games and he can't because the computer will have to slow down. So I was wondering if I install the Windows Vista disc I had, this will make faster? and the computer I have an adapter to receive Web, couldn't that make it slow to? Please answer.
It depends on the specifications of the system... XP might be infected with something, if its slow. You have it scanned with an AV program or something? Vista needs a bit more ram than XP. So, if there is not enough ram in the system, Vista can be just as slow (or slower) than XP. If the conversation of youre cable is an ethenet cable, you need it. Or you will not get on the internet
