• Vista Ultimate 64 will not install on Tyan S2915E, but Ultimate 32 is fine

  Vista Ultimate 32 will install, but not Ultimate 64. The installation is done, but at the first reboot, the OS will crash with blue screen of death (STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFF...) 5, ...).

  Since Ultiate 32 works very well, I think that there is a problem with 64-bit drivers. In my view, there is a version updated to Vista Ultimate 64 with SP1. Do you know if this version solves the problem, and if so, can you send me a copy if I send my product key?

  Thank you

  Dan.

  The only other suggestions in the Windows documentation if there is no update of the BIOS are:

  • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

  You can also disable caching memory BIOS to try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

  Hello... my computer will not install update KB2378111 with a code error 80070570.  In addition, I can not install all programs downloaded from the internet, specifically my anti-virus software.  I'm running without any software antivirus at this time.  I ran the most recent Microsoft malicious software removal tool and it showed that there is no problem.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

• Cannot upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate Edition after the HD upgrade

  I have an ASUS computer which is about five years old and works fine. It runs only Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.
  The HD has been giving signs which is failing. I bought a new HD and copied the old HD to the biggest news. Everything seems to work fine until I tried to run Windows Update. It does not allow me to update and gives the 8024A 000 error code every time I try to run it. I called ASUS for help and they said
  to contact me Microsoft.

  Thank you

  Harold

  I found the solution to this problem. I went to another Windows help forum. It is to reset the Windows Update program. I tried the one here on the Microsoft site, and it did not work. But I tried this one http://wind8apps.com/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/ and the fist solution worked like a charm. He fixed the update and install issues with Powershell 2.0. After that and a certain number of updates, it's updated, Windows Update will update to the latest version. After this release he went and found many updates, I had to install. So be patient, you're in for a little wait.

• Re: Vista Ultimate - should I not have upgraded?

  I called support last night that I was unable to add memory to my PC laptop, had the correct memory etc, I asked about the upgrade to Ultimate and told me it was a good idea because Premium takes just 3g of memory.

  I've improved, just phoned the helpline to ask if they are able to edit my profile here, so I can't download 64 bit updates and it told me that my machine will not work fine on ultimate, is it true?

  Thanks in advance

  As your laptop is already preinstalled with a version of Vista, it is not correct, that it does not work well on your machine.
  It has some features, mainly for administrators or advanced users, but it can all be disabled or just don't use them.

  But, for the use of any memory that you add to your machine, you don't need ultimate. Just make sure, you use a 64-bit operating system for example the Home Premium 64-bit edition.

  It could be, that you experience some incompatibilities with older hardware, but this is a rare case and I use it for almost a year and I'm really happy with it.

  Hello everyone,

So I entered in safe mode and saved all my valuable information. The laptop has windows 7 Home Edition. I decided to install W7 Ultimate RTM. So when I was doing that, I formatted ALL partitions that I saw on the screen. After that i have PXE boot problem. I realized that I need to connect my lan cable. Ok. After that the computer does not start, it shows just acer splash screen and immediately restarts again and again and again. I tried to click ALT + F10. At the bottom left, I saw "switch to erecovery" or something like that. After pressing alt + f10 there is a '_' in the upper left corner, and the Frank is frozen. So I can't even boot to see victory logo, even I can't return my phone to factory settings. Just to note I have no CD with my PC, only the power chords and that's all. The House of win 7 was already languages. Please guys help me how to fix my laptop.
  Best regards

  Well, you could have done your own recovery discs when you bought your PC!

  I agree that it is a shame that you can't get a copy of the disks where you live!

  If you are happy to have a cracked version of Windows, it is to you. Even if you can open a Pandora's box, we'll agree disagree on the question

  As for the problem of button, it could be a sign of a faulty keyboard or it could be a software problem. A few copies of cracking are so changed, it could be an error in the code!

  You can try and run a Linux live disk to see if it happens there. If so, then the keyboard will be replaced.

• HP Mini 110 windows 7 starter edition will not be upgraded to windows anytime

  Help! Can't get my HP Mini110 of windows 7 starter edition Home Premium. Got the key, but it is said that this key is not compatible with current windows and cannot be downloaded. What does that mean? How can I download and install this upgrade? I paid for it.

  Probably means that you have a copy of Windows 7 32 bit installed on your computer and you are trying to download and install a 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  You can't do an anytime upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. New ball game. Requires installation not an anytime upgrade.

• Windows Vista 64 bit will not be upgraded for repair. Gives Windows could not configure some components.

  I finally got a replacement drive and ran the upgrade (to repair) several times.  Whenever it says "Windows cannot configure some components" and restart, then try again.  I tried to run this safe mode, but apparently you cannot.  I tried to turn off.NET and recommended the other 2 programs but rwhen I opened box disable it loads for a while and then is empty.  Help, please.  I don't want to do a fresh install.

• Upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

  I am considering the upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I already bought the software Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at a great price from Circuit City when they were going out of business. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Premium. I need to install a program called SolidWorks 2008 CAD - 2009 in College and this program is already bought and in my possession. Family Premium is not compatible with this program. I really don't want to go because I believe that it will lose the ultimate software, but I think, that I have no other choice in order to use my copy of SolidWorks 2008 - 2009. So I have a few questions related to it. Is there a way to get around this, and if not, is there something I need to do or uninstall until I try to install this upgrade? I can't afford to have any problems during this update because I need every day my computer for school. Is a one time installation were I will not be able to use this ultimate software on another computer ever? Thanks for your help.

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  Use the foregoing for checks for hardware and software compatibility.

  If it is not Compatible, it is not Compatible with Vista.
  Changing the Vista version it will be not Compatible.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Read this info on running your program in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Looking for Service Pack levels during the upgrade:

  On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk to upgrade.

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

  If the OS installed Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 1 upgrade disk > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

  And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If it is a retail upgrade license, it can be transferred to another machine.
  But it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

  See you soon.

The TPM is the correct version, group policy is set to the correct specifications, I did everything what I was instructed to do. I even let the TPM to create his or her own password. I initialized and took possession of the TPM, I turned it on, I put it to ignore blocked orders. I installed the security chip. My hard drive is narrowed, there is the extra partition specified as S:, Ok he said after doing this, I have to reinstall the software, but after reinstalling the software, it says it has deleted my second partition.

• Get BSOD when updated in Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

  I got the Windows Update for Monday, 30/11/09. Under the option updated, I clicked on the update Realtek for my wireless 801.11 b / g driver.  During the download on the window updates screen, he says that he was downloading updates. Then he went to install the updates and I got the BSOD about 3/4 of the way through.  Reboot the computer and to the Welcome screen, it said it was set up the updates.  He crossed the 1st to the 3rd stage, but remained at 0% and then in Windows. When the desktop is loaded, the window "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" came.  When I click on "Find solutions", he went the BSOD and restarted all over again with the same message "install updates" at the Welcome screen.  When I tried to cancel the window "windows has recovered...". ', he went the BSOD again and restarted again with the same method. The next time I tried to restart the computer and during the stop, he went to the BSOD and restarted everything again. This also happens when I try to shut down the computer.  The stop on the BSOD error message is Stop: 0x0000001A. Windows error that appears under Windows is 80070103.  I am running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  Help, please. How can I get out of this loop.  I tried the "Fix - It" program, but it's the same thing when he went to restart the computer. I know it has something to do with the appearance of the Windows Update, but I do not know how to break the loop of update.

  Bob,
  Run the Microsoft Fix - It from this link:reset Windows Update components

  It has all the steps that you have already done, but includes a couple that you don't.  After you run reboot and post back with the results.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
