  I need help. I can't open my control panel. When I click it it opens as an empty file, then disappears. Im guessing this is why now I can't print anything off any more.

If I highlight the button shortened its windows to say impossible to verify updates? Pls help someone!

  Hello

  Do a system restore back to when it was working properly (as you did before).

  Instead of going through Control Panel > go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your the model number of the computer > search your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

  There are different methods to reinstall Vista, if you think it is necessary to do so.

  This can help you:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought 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.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Suddenly I can't save anything in Notepad, Wordpad or Paint, using Windows Vista. Help, please!

  Hello.

  I can't 'Save' or ' save under ', using Notepad, Wordpad or Paint. It is a recent development that occur all the same day.

  A summary of each error message indicates that there is a problem with the particular program that requires Windows to close until a

  solution is found.  It is followed by a pop-up stating that DEP closed every program to protect my computer.  As a last resort, I then tried

  to 'Save' in Ms Works / Word Processor and that too suddenly had to close with a similar message (less the DEP pop up).

  It is obviously a case with very strange place. I scanned my system with Malwarebytes Pro and Norton Anti virus software and nothing was detected.

  I would be very happy to help in the restoration of the normal features to these programs to anyone who is familiar with this type of problem.

  I am running Windows Vista Premium / / SP2

  Thanks in advance.

• Windows VISTA problems with ".exe" files

  I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, SP2 on a HP Pavilion desktop computer. Recently developed a problem when you try to run any file with an ".exe" extension results in a window asking to "choose the application I want to use to open the file" or "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. " Any ideas?

  Hello
  This problem occurs when your .exe file associations are broken. This is usually caused by a virus/malware that changes the default file associations in Windows. Follow these instructions to resolve this problem:
  Download exeHelper from one of these two links: link 1, link 2 double click on exeHelper to run the fix. A black window should appear. Once the patch is finished, press any key to close.

• Installation/space Windows Vista problems

  Recently the Windows Vista Setup program does not allow the installation of the different software components.  Sometimes I have a vague (as impossible to install) error code, sometimes the installation starts from inside IE and then just comes back to IE. But no installation occurs.

  I am slot as Vista Business 64-bit Service Pack 2. (5 gig Ram)

  I have between 50 to 500 free MB on the disk. (I have a drive c to 35 gigabytes.  But, windows uses 31 G (winsxs uses 20 G).)  Supposedly, it's a problem of Microsoft to know during the years that they have no desire to fix.  I regularly try to clean the space, but it's like trying to hold back the Mississippi...

  Uninstall seems to work.

  I ran various utiilties of Microsoft to try to resolve the problem. (I think this is worse!)

  I ran sfc/scannow and it has detected/fixed no problem.

  When I was able to capture more storage space (by moving my virtual memory on another drive) briefly the problem has not disappeared.  The Publisher of the software after several hours of searching in various newspapers told me it was a problem of Microsoft Installer.

  I don't want to re - install the OS that I don't have a number of my installation for different software products discs (they are all legal).

  I'm not so sure that Windows installs my updates properly at this stage either.

  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm drowning in time to support.

  What is E? The dual computer boot or pagefile on E refers to the operating system in C?

  I did not used Easeus Partition Manager, Partition Magic and Acronis who buy software using, but the principles will be similar. What you need to do is to reduce the size of D, so that there is a free space between C and D, and then increase the size of C in this space. You can then increase the size of D in the original unallocated space of 5.86 GB in D.

  I suggest that you study the knowledge base, and there is a line on manual. Print the relevant parts. The FAQ in the first link and follow two particularly relevant links:

• Photos download of Windows Vista problem

  I'm having a problem with uploading photos to my Dell Inspiron 531 that is running Windows Vista. I am taking perfectly good photos with my Canon Coolpix S4100 and downloading for photos with one cable from the camera to the computer. Shortly after they are downloaded, maybe a second or so, they distort: high contrast, low light, 3D effect, shadow. The photos are jpeg, and happens whenever I have download on this computer. They are very good when I download them to my laptop which has Windows Vista. I am only display photos directly via the photos and that is when there are distorted. I also use 3D inspection program and the photos are mixed in there also like in the photos. Any help?

  Might be interesting to try to update your video driver... check
