Windows Vista platform

My computer has a Windows Vista platform, I knew through Google Chrome is not be supported by windows, my question is, do I have to buy a new tower for my desktop with another platform or do I have to download a new version of Microsoft use internet to solve my problem.

If the answer is that I have to buy a new one, what new Windows platform is recommend for home use.

I'm not a person who knows too much about computers, so I'd really appreciate it if someone can give me a simple answer to my question.

Hello

I read it:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-networking/Google-chrome-and-Vista/a13270c3-9fbb-4860-bed5-7d5f18b85bdf

Google has stopped supporting Chrome on XP and Vista.

This is a Google's decision, not a decision by Microsoft.

Most of the people just change using the Firefox browser.

Vista, as long that you have installed Service Pack 2, has extended the support of Microsoft until April 2017.

  • Windows Update does not update Windows Vista platform.

    I recently tried to update my Windows Live Messenger and I get a message that I need this new platform update. The site for the update page told me just to run Windows Update and install it. However, after that Windows Update returns with no such update for my system. What can I do about it? I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. Please instruct me on how to get this update. I do not wish for the answers that tell me simply run the update client, which does not work for some reason any. My update client is also perfectly up-to-date. Any help is appreciated.

    The "platform update" required by Windows Live Messenger is not Windows Live application update security. It can be installed manually. The experts in the Windows Live forums will be able to help you to do (especially if you try to install Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 beta).

    In other words, it is a question of Windows Live Essentials, not an update of Windows (although Windows Update may offer updates to Windows Live Essentials).

  • Don't have the Windows Platform Update for Windows Vista in Windows Update.

    I tried to download the new Windows Live Messenger Beta, but it tells me I need to download this update of the platform before I can install the Messenger. I looked at the support page for the update of the platform and he said I can get it from windows update, but when I bring up windows update and search for new updates, it says that my computer is up to date. What could be the problem?
    I have Windows Vista x 64 Home Premium and I downloaded Service Pack 2 from windows update.
    If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

  • Need of Platform Update for Windows Vista KB971644

    I need to get the updates of platform for Windows Vista, but it does not show an available update when I check for updates.  How can I get the update so that I can then install Live Essentials?

    Hi Montanamountainhorse,

    First of all, check that you have installed Vista Service Pack 2. If Service Pack 2 is not installed on the computer, you can install the stand-alone version of Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Go to the link below to download and install Vista Service Pack 2. http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the Windows Update components on your computer and check if updates are available to install.
    Access the link below and run repair to reset the Windows Update components.

    3. wonder to reboot the machine (which I do)
    4. in step 3 of the process, he confgures the downloaded software
    5. said that something was wrong with the configuration of the software... no error code.  just something went wrong.
    6 restores the system to the point of departure.
    7 restart the system

    This is getting frustrating... my system has very well updated with each produced Vista fix.  is there a way to bypass this update or can I get windows update in order to stop telling me that this update is available?

  • I get a repeated error on install Platform Update For Windows Vista (KB971644). Fails with the error code 80073AA2. Installation comes from Windows Update.

    Windows Update loops round and round constantly to not set up correctly, then restores the changes

    Do I need to install the System Update Readiness Tool KB 947821?

    Probably not: I had a lot of doubt that SP2 is installed if KB947821 has not already been installed.

    Given that this problem is after a fairly recent install of SP2...

    Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been postponed until February 26, 2010, so move on! Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack <=pick this=""> ).

    In the case opposite & whereas KB971644 is NOT a security update, you can simply hide the "thing":

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
    (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right click on the (platform) update for Windows Vista (KB971644) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    =====================================
    To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

    NB: If KB971644 were available for download/installation manual (and is not), I would have you try it.
