Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, NEVER been able to update

I have problems with the update. I've never been able to update Windows since I bought this computer in September 2009.
I have Vista Home Premium SP1 (was pre installed)
I have CA Security Center
I've also tried the auto detects in the LAN configuration but still does not. Also turned and on the update command in the command prompt.
Does anyone else have an idea? It is slowly driving me crazy and I should have settled this long time.
Please I need your help

Thanks Ness

  • Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 - multiple windows program or service failures after Windows Update June 17, 2011

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (I think that SP1 anyway). Last night June 17, 2011, update of Windows installed an update or updates. Now, Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Windows Installer, Windows Sidebar, Panel, Windows Update and other Microsoft programs all fail. I get messages with various error codes. A message is 'class not registered '. I tried a restore to a previous restore point, but apparently the only restore point is the one made after the update. What can I do here? I know that I can always restore the factory image (Dell), but I'd rather not if I can help it.

    Hi doc,

    Method 1:

    You can try to repair aStartup if it is included in the system recovery options provided by the manufacturer of the computer or start from the disc for Installation of Windows Vista.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Method 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to start a disk check and check.

    You can view the following link to perform a disk check:

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Yukon Marvell Ethernet controller accident

    Hi, I have a problem with Marvell Yukon Ethernet controller. He send Windows Vista blue screen crash. Restart Vista send the collected issue to Microsoft, then he said:

    This problem was caused by the Ethernet controller Marvell Yukon, which was created by Marvell Semiconductor.

    Solution

    To know the solution to this problem, go online on the website of Marvell Semiconductor:

    Marvell Semiconductor

    I go to the website, download the latest updated driver and the problem is still there. I've installed the latest driver (the same) three times in a month, but the problem is still there.
    Another problem is that, after a few hours, my internet connection are not has high latency and then connect all the web pages until you restart. Connection in the bar bar icon indicates that the pc is connected to internet but I can not navigate on it. Is it because of the Ethernet controller? I have installed the last day ZoneAlarm v 7.1.254.000 but, for me, options are set ok and this type of problem (no internet navigation) appear from that moment.

    If I use the last restore point, gain an advantage any?

    Any solution?
    Thanks in advance for the reply and sorry for my bad English.

    Ninus,
    If you have followed all the steps of procedure which you is given by Martin and continues to have the same problems, you should consider two other possibilities.  1. your equipment could be bad - you need to buy and install a new Ethernet controller (or have done by a service professional if you don't normally this sort of thing yourself).  or 2. Do a clean install of Vista.

    Let us know if you need additional help from us.

  • Zip in Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 files

    I no longer get an option to compress or decompress files in Vista.  How to restore this function?  I don't know how I have it turned off.

    Thank you

    LAHugh

    I found the problem.  My Spybot had removed the Zipfldr.dll for zip files.  I don't know why, but I restored and it works fine now and Spybot was not considered a threat again.

    Thanks for all your help.  If anyone else has this problem, you can check for the zipfldr.dll in windows/system32.

    Good luck

  • Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

    Nice day

    I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

    I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

    Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
    I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

    I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

    Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Why Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installs not Windows updates?

    I am not able to download and install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit windows update.  This Gateway laptop has always been able to quickly and easily install the update by clicking windows update.  However, since the introduction of Windows 10 it has been a lot of your time trying to install updates.  I had this same problem with Windows 7 too.  Never before there was no problem for the two operating systems.  Installation of Windows updates has always been easy and fast without any problem.  Running the troubleshooting isn't good and hunting error codes has been unproductive.  What the hell is happening?

    Hi Joe Cool1:

    'Check for updates...' crashes and slow Windows updates currently affect the SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users, and I doubt it's a coincidence that Microsoft has ended mainstream support and only provides support for these two operating systems.  The evidence points more to a problem with the Windows Update Agent (WUA Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll v7.6.7600.256 has not been updated since June 2012) and the problem tends to be more prevalent on computers with slower processors and a limited amount of RAM.

    There are step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates doesn't work do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours which should speed up Windows Update for both for Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.  The instructions were for users of Vista, so when you reach step 4 just use the appropriate links of Win 7 on the page Web of Dalia http://wu.krelay.de/en/ (Win 7 x 64 if you have 64-bit Win 7 OS;) Win 7 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Win 7 OS) to download packages update stand-alone correct (.msu files) for missing Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates on your Win 7 machine.

  • 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 :-)

  • New hard drive - drive no. - how to install Windows Vista Home Premium on the computer?

  • Restore factory settings doesn't work does not and did not reinstall Vista drive, download Windows Vista Home Premium

    Original title: Vista

    I need to re download windows vista home premium because: 1-workstation is not come with a disk and 2 - my system back to factory settings does not work

    Hello

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista; See suits you the method...

    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:

    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

    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.
