I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?
You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.
Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

Thank you, Jefferson. You addressed the issue beautifully and delightfully complete.
I found and deleted the server where I got the exception.

AHA. It's very good to know. I missed it when granting the exception today.
The exception I gave (and now deleted) today wasn't really a risky site. I know the owner. Just a little problem in their relationship.

When I go to the appearance options it just gives me the old options and not the color or transparency ones, have read also on the setting in the setting of aerodynamic profile, but it also disappeared!

How to crop a picture and delete the unwanted part?
I don't have any shots 'face' of myself, but one having a few 'action plans', so I thought to scan them and change the background. I kept the photos in format JPEG in paint and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
I'm sure that in the past I could crop and remove 95%. What happened to programs... OR (gulp) me? I use Windows 7 Home Premium.
You seem to have got the open image in the painting , so here are some basic instructions for this program.
- Open the image in Paint.
- Click on the half top of the button Select of the Image group... The cursor changes to a cross when above the area of the image.
- Click and hold the mouse button on one of the corners (for example at the top left) to your growing area desired. Drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the area of crops (for example at the bottom right) and release the mouse button.
- Click on the button to crop to the Image group.
- If you are not satisfied with the harvest, press Ctrl + Z to Undo the action and start over.
This should be enough to get you what you want. -

How boot Windows Vista from a USB hard drive that has a good backup Vista already on him.
Hi, initially, I thought I had a virus (blue screens that appear often), then I thought I had a corrupted driver or systems file. So, I had a 2 t USB external hard drive and saved ALL my internal hard drive. After execution of all kinds of tests from my internal hard drive, it does NOT pass the diagnostic test and always stops in the same place on the internal hard drive. It becomes harder and harder to start on my internal drive of 'C' without getting some kind of blue screen. I'm sure that now it's my drive "C" which is declining and malfunction and I am convinced now to go forward and every time you start my existing backup Vista SP2 that I backed up on my disk 'K', or if I can, then do a new clean install of Vista 86 x (32 bit) on the disc 'K '. My boot sequence is as follows: 1. Disc 2 DVD 3. External drive USB 'K' 4. Internal drive C (eventually when I get all fixed, I turn OFF my 'C' drive.) When I boot my computer without my Vista disk, it bypasses the 'K' reader, because all the "loadup data" is located in a folder and are not exposed, or I don't have the files to "load" just in the right place. When I look at the file config.sys and autoexec.bat copied, I see nothing in the files that would be "load" my existing Vista, instead he just goes right in front of the reader 'K' and on the 'C' drive and loaded a version own intalled my Vista (if I can avoid a blue screen, sometimes I have to load in "safe mode" and even) It doesn't work sometimes!) My question is what the loadup files are needed and where on my 'K' drive (in system32?) to be able to restart my old copy of Vista which has all my existing configurations in place? Thanks in advance for your help.

Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.
I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.
I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.
I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.
In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.
Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

Windows Vista Home Basic Edition keeps looping and will not start
Windows Vista Home Basic Edition will not boot to the Welcome screen. It keeps restarting loop. I tried to go into safe mode, but who does not start too. Loops of safe mode and return to the start screen.
I have a dell laptop and I just restalled operating system. I had Windows Update set to automatically download and install. PC worked great until the next day (after the time programmed for automatic updates). I'm assuming that the started after some windows updates when installed. Unfortunately, I can not enter in Windows or Normal or Safe Mode.
Bill
If safe mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

Satellite P100-434 - Windows Vista - how to get Aero to work
Hi does anyone know how to get Aero to work on my Tosh laptop. the OS is Vista Home Premium and I have exhausted the help options OS affecting theme Win Vista, color scheme to Aero etc.
Hello
The laptop should be certainly be able to use the AERO.
It supports a 256 MB card and 2 GB memory graphics.So it seems you only need to activate the Aero on your Vista.
But which version of Vista is installed on the laptop.
As I know the basic home edition version does not include the Aero. The Aero is available on the Home Premium edition or newerSo now you ask what you can do? I found these tips on the site of Ms.
Check if the desktop theme has been set to Windows Vista1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
2. in the theme list, click Windows Vista, and then click OK.Try to enable transparency widowed intercadres.
But note; to enable transparency, the color scheme must first be set to Windows Aero.
1. open Personalization by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel configuration, on appearance and personalization, and then click customization.
2. click on the appearance and color of the window.
3. Select the transparency check box. -
