  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

   

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

• Windows vista updates keep coming back

  OK here is my problem > everytime I turn on my computer or restart my computer it says (configuiring updates do not turn off the computer) and then takes an hour or more so when that stops and tries to go to windows it says (updates were not properly confiquired. restoration of changes, not stop computer... and takes even longer to do... today) , it took nearly five hours before that I could use my computer...

  also, I don't know if this will help or not but can't go to all the backups, it says I have none.

  Please HELP ITS DRIVING ME EVEN MORE CRAZY lol

  Hi angea,.

  Thank you for using answers Forum.

  Are you referring to the restore points system or computer backups that you have made your files?
  Restore points are deleted after some updates, but there should be at least one.

  Long update times can sometimes be the result of anti-virus software preventing the update of scripture to secure portions of the operating system.

  I suggest to disable your anti-virus temporarily while performing the update.

  If this does not help, there may be software conflicted with the update process.

  You can perform a clean boot to isolate programs starting for the origin of the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista by performing a clean boot. This article also describes how to start the Windows Installer service and how to reset the computer so that it starts as usual.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

  If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

  a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

  b. click on start toreduce this includes this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  Reduce this includes this imageIf you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  c. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

  d. on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box and then click on disable all.

  Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  e. click OK, and then click restart.

  Step 2: Enable half the services

  a. follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

  b. click on the Services tab and then click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box.

  c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  d. click OKand then click restart.

  Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services , and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

  a. perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  b. click on the Startup tab and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  c. click OK, and then click restart.

  Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

  Step 6: Resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  Click on start toreduce this includes this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

  Reduce this includes this imageIf you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue.

  On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

• Can I downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP

  I bought a used computer (bondsman) which has Windows Vista Business installed, and I want to change the operating system to Windows XP.

  Is this possible?  I prefer Windows XP over Vista, Vista is so volatile at the point of being unusable.

  Because Windows XP is no longer available, it would be best to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

• Windows Vista with folder/windows taking 158 GB of space on a 300 GB system!

  Hello.

  I have a windows Vista 3 GB of ram desktop computer and it is very short on space. Glanced at TreeSize to find the source of the problem. Turns out that the windows folder takes 158 GB of space! Most are in a folder called 'Install', which is 129 GB. The rest is in a folder called "winsxs".

  All the files in the Installer are ending with ".msp". Most of the files are 4 GB EACH! What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you.

  I /quote/ Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - a regular contributor here:

  Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

  registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and

  do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and

  What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,

  have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

  The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake

  delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit

  It can have.

  Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the

  use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause

  problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from

  the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry

  cleaner and never had a problem with it.

  The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it

  the risk of having a problem. And since there is no

  benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad

  good deal.

  0 x 80070641 means ERROR_INSTALL_SERVICE_FAILURE - the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly installed

  To check if these steps solve the problem, try the following:

  Go to Start > run > type services.msc > OK. The Services window will open, scroll down to Windows Installer, and double-click it. The Properties window opens, in the drop-down list (startup type), select 'Automatic' > OK and close windows.

  Restart the PC, and I hope it will work for you.

• The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista business product key

  Product key bad for the wrong version?

  Hello

  Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

  http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg

  He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."

  How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

  You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

  The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

  It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

• Windows Vista freezing no matter what I do, even when starting.

  For the last few weeks, my computer was freezing.  Everything stops. I have to unplug my computer to restart. I've updated the Windows HP programs, all drivers, nothing works. I tried method 2 (below) but the System File Checker come clean. I'm hesitant to try Method 1 not only because it's so complicated, but there is a warning that it could make the computer unusable. I never know when it will freeze. Some days it doesn't, other days like today it freezes on & all day. If I use method 1 to determine which service or startup item is causing the problem, should I use my computer in this mode until it either hangs or does not work? I don't know what I'm supposed to find out what Service or startup item is originally from the gel (if that is what is really causing the problem yet!)  I'm so frustrated! Any advice?

  I tried to use some of the tips from other questions such as:

  Method 1

• x 64 Windows Vista Update Agent is terminated abnormally with an error 80070424 and reset of the agent is not successful.

  I searched through of many post about problems with Windows Update Agent unusable for Vista 64 computer x which I maintain on a volunteer basis for a not-for-profit organization. I tried the following that I found in various articles in the knowledge base:

  1. Requests for assistance MS FixIt suggested performance. They have all failed when installing the PowerShell.

  2. replace officers update the page that provides the installation program. Installation always eventually fail.

  3. According to the remittance advice to Update Agent, found at https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn

  Advice, to #3 was informative since some commands manual regsvr32 *.dll reported errors where the dynamic link library wouldn't "load" or the administration server could not find a certain "entry point". Does that mean that these dll is corrupt and must be replaced. If so, how he does it. It doesn't seem practical in more aggressive steps suggested to reset the agent given that the errors occurred using the less aggressive path.

  The computer I'm servicing came with Vista delivered, and the original disks are not available. The Startup Repair utility reported no errors or corrections. In addition, sfc/scannow only reports an error indicating it cannot successfully completed his task. So, I don't know how I can successfully restore these dynamic link libraries.

  I thank you for any advice you can give and forgive me if I don't have enough to search the knowledge base for an answer that already exists. Have a great day.

  Once again thanks for your response. I spent more than 20 hours on this computer and I wonder if the upgrade with Win 7 (or 8 when available) will solve the problem.

  I am a volunteer system to this nonprofit administrator, and my suggestions to secure computers are not always accepted. Thus, they probably will not disconnect the computer from the network. I suggested that personnel limit only accounts and that we establish a security policy for computers and a "standard" image However, each clerk vetoed my suggestion. I note only about one-tenth of a vote on all business issues. I have little to say in what is done. I do mostly what I said and I work what they deem is a technical miracle occasionally.

  I will suggest they buy an upgrade if this should solve the problem, since I can't spend much more time on this issue. If this does not resolve the problem, they work with what they have, because they would not listen when I told them that they should not install all these products of third-party software "free." I told them that if it is not Oracle (formerly Sun), Microsoft or Adobe don't install it. Their products cover everything they need. We cross our fingers and hope that nobody issues a 'format c:' command remote computer impaired!

  Have a wonderful day.

  You cannot use a key Home base to activate an installation of the company.

  You need to reinstall the OS using the recovery media for your machine - if you do not, you should be able to order from the manufacturer.
