• With Windows Vista, HP printer repeatedly re - moved after turning off the PC, then return and losing sessions.

  I have Windows Vista, Dell Vostro A860, HP PSC 1410 all-in-one printer.  The HP CD work well with Vista.  The printer repeatedly re - installs itself, making it necessary to go into the settings to choose my preferences each time. I did download a fix from HP that has first requires that you uninstall the original software, and then download and apply the fix.  However, the patch will not install unless you have a software for its difficulty.  It is a cycle race.   Any ideas?

• Dell Vostro 1510 Audio has stopped working after the update of Windows Vista.

  Nice day!

  My computer (vostro 1510) began to revolt recently and I wonder if you could help me with this.

  Basically, last week I was talking to my friend on Skype when suddenly my computer restarted due to the update of Windows (I have Windows Vista Business 32-bit). After he turned his back, I realized that there is no audio from the speakers. I tried using headphones but still - no sound.

  Immediately, I went to the 'Sounds' menu and checked if my speakers were still 'active '. They have been.
  Next thing I decided to do was to reinstall the Realtek audio driver, however, did not help or the other. Since then, I tried to reinstall several times but, unfortunately, everything remained the same.

  Then, I thought that maybe something was wrong with my hardware, however, audio spent ALL Dell diagnostics audio tests (so my hardware is very good, yes?). I also tried "System Restore" option and returned to the point before the update... Nothing has changed!

  In addition, as far as I know, all the audio settings in Windows (checked in Registry Editor) are OK.

  What should I do now? My last hope is to completely reinstall the system, however, I decided to contact you first.

  Thanks in advance!

  Solved the problem by reinstalling the operating system.

  Thank you!

• Dell Vostro 200 does not start after installing the SP2 for Windows Vista Business

  I have to keep which dates back to the system restore to get my computer on the road.  Whenever the update is installed I don't get past the first Screen Microsoft with the arrows.  Now, my computer is very slow and I have not been able to install SP2. I need very simple instructions I'm no computer expert!

• Dell Vostro 1520 / formatting now WiFi NOT work...

  Hello

  I formatted my Dell Vostro 1520 and now the wifi does not work, I get an exclamaition mark on my device manager...

  Thanks in advance

  When you perform a clean installation of Windows (which is what I assume you are talking about "formatted my Dell Vostro), you must reinstall all hardware drivers.

  If you have used a method of restoration costs of factory Dell, then drivers for integrated hardware would have been included.

  So...

  If you used a CD to install Windows XP to do a clean install of windows AND your wifi adapter is built into your computer, go to the Dell Support, enter your Service tag, download drivers for your computer.  Note: you must proceed even if your wifi adapter is not integrated into your computer, because you must install drivers for other devices on your computer.

  If your wifi adapter is NOT integrated with your computer, visit the website of the manufacturer of the adapter, and download the appropriate driver.

• some Windows updates do not install on Windows vista.

  Original title: update failure

  I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell Vostro laptop.

  Recently I received notice of update of the computer (where the sleep button turns red with the shield of Microsoft - so that when you click on it begins to install the updates before you shut down). However, the first question, I noticed was the extraordinary length of time it took to 'install' updates... more than 8 hours, in many cases, this can be problematic because he inisists that you do not feed disabled or stopped during the process.

  Despite the long waiting to install the updates that several "important" updates several times not to settle, which inevitably means that the next day that the computeer said that it has developed important to install...

  Updates is fails to install.

• Inefficient Windows Vista Update - Error 8000FFFF - solutions

  I recently reformatted my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1520 Windows Vista 32 bit and was trying to reinstall all my drivers and my os back to date; I was hoping to install sp1 and 2 that day. However, after several rounds of updates without any hitches, I met update KB29777, who introduces himself as important and seems inherent in the system in order to install the sp1, and at the same time, sp2. I can't solve the problem with Error 8000FFFF

  That's why my machine's own almost all of the errors with a new os and reformatted hd.

  I tried all the solutions proposed for me and more found on these forums including;

  Fix It utility, followed by restart;

  manually remove the 3 potentially corrupt registry values (which were not there because there is a new os);

  and even download the update manually from the Download Center microsoft and tries to install (which says that it has been a success, but obviously wasn't)

  Anyone wants to shed light on the issue?
