I have a Windows Vista laptop and it is a waste of very fast charge. For example, my plan of power is in power saver and I load it completely in 10 minutes or if I have to charge it again. What can I do to fix this?
Hello

Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?
original title: VISTA VS. XPYour technicians say talk to HP
Sorry, this is not Microsoft. This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.
You say you use XP. What is your question? What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?
I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer. If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com. There are several of these companies. If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model. If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.
Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date. Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates. You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7. You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

Windows Vista won't load - black screen each laptop time starts
I have a Dell Insipron 1525, which does not load Windows Vista.
I can't go past the Recovery Manager screen every time you start, and although I tried all the options available, it does not open in safe mode or normally.
I tried the system restore (even if it says that it cannot find valid 'points'), as well as the repair of the system, and I have also run the Diagnostics, who said there is no error (although I could not see the final report). All paths lead ultimately to the black screen and although I can see and move the cursor, it is that I can get. Any ideas please?
Thank you very much!

Vista Windows failed to load on a dell studio laptop, the message appears with the critical error message, but then the screen turns white after auto restart, no loading of windows. What can I do
http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/WS340/en/UG/DIAGS.htm
Try the above balance sheet of Dell Diagnostics, using F12 to start this process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
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:

ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

And that way if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive.

the sticker on my laptop has disappeared/deleted and I am not able to see the full key for windows vista operating system has been pre-installed on the laptop and now she asks activation and I did not quite correct key because he got faded/deleted, how can I get the key to work on the laptop I have compaq-presario-cq60-420 US laptop.please help me or give me the microsoft contact numbers where I can get my key of windows vista back by providing the serial number and the product number for my laptop. I am unable to work as the laptop does not work without the activation key.
Hello
You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.
Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.
______________________________________________________________
Also that, read also:
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.
They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.
_____________________________________________________________
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.
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

iCloud mail makes MacBook Air running very hot and very fast battery drain
Given that the upgrade to El Capitan and running the latest updates of my MacBook Air has worked very (almost too hot to the touch in some places) hot and the fan that has happened all the time. The battery is also in very quickly - I can sit and look at the percentage count.
If I disable my iCloud in Mail preferences the computer messaging service cools, the fan stops and the battery stabilizes. So it must be a problem with iCloud mail. Anyone who has ideas or fixes for this?

Windows Vista "Tilde" key does not not on laptop
I have a HP Pavilion laptop. Last week everything worked well. I closed the computer and closed the screen. A week later, when I returned home and restart the computer my tilde on the keyboard key does not work.
I checked the driver and everything was fine. I ran a check for malware and came up with nothing. I tried using a different user profile and it still didn't work.
All other work except this key keyboard key. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The issue could be with the keyboard. Try to connect another keyboard USB (if available) and check if the key works in it.
If the keyboard is the problem, you need to replace in order to get this to work. You can also try blowing air through fan or something similar to blow off the dust in the keys, cause of dust inside the keys have this problem.
While OS reinstall too much trouble, if this isn't the hardware problem. I encountered this problem once. But the key doesn't work is not is "Alt".

Computer laptop dv5 off suddenly when the battery charge reaches46%
First of all, thank you in advance for any help possible.
Of heres my portable computer Spec
Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P8400 2.26 GHz 2.27 GHz
3.00 GB RAM
Windows Vista.
Problem:
Well my laptop around 1 year and something weird started happening a few days back... whenever my laptop unplugged and reached 46% battery charge it suddenly turns OFF... after that whenever I try to start to just the screen where it tells u whether to start windows normally or not... and turns off again... the only way to pitch it up is to plug the adapter sector and then it starts normally. I tried to calibrate the battery using the bios, but this option is not there in my laptop... try manually is not useful because it disables always when it reached 46%... so I can not entirely drain my battery.
someone has an idea of what is my problem?
pascs wrote:
No its is no longer under warranty may be 1 year and a month I think.
Then replacing the battery is what you need to do. You should be able to get a replacement battery has a reasonable price online. There is no obligation to buy an original HP battery.

Window vista business 32 bit auto update not install SP1
I have Window vista business 32 bit on Sony Vaio laptop. My automatic update of the window is on, a lot of updates were installed, I can't find the SP1. I checked the updates, saw "the view update history" but can't find SP1. Basic information system shows no service pack. 'Winver' shows Version 6.0 (6000 building). All other window updates have been installed except "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition service pack 3 (KB955706) who is still unable to install, do not know for what reason." I guess that there is no link between the failed SQL and SP1. It is after a complete reinstall of Vista 3-4 days back.
Prior to the relocation is in that the original version, Vista SP1 was installed automatically by the Update window.
I wonder if SP1 is already installed, but is not displayed or should I download and install it manually.goyalvimal
Thank you. I was able to install SP1 and SP2 after the changes and the process you described.
Thank you very much. goyalvimal -

For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,

Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
