• already installing windows vista on a computer with windows 7

  I have windows 7 on my computer.  I have a scanner that is too old to run on windows 7.  Can I install vista in order to run the scanner? is there a better solution?

  Hello

  You can dual boot, but have you tried to install the software of the scanner mode "compatibility"? Look for the Setup file for the scanner and right-click on it. In the drop-down menu, click Properties. In the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab. In the compatibility window place a checkmark (tick) in the box next to the box "run this program in compatibility mode for" and then click on the arrow to the right of the box just below this option to display the opertaing systems. The default is Windows XP SP3, but you can change it by clicking on the arrow down and selecting Vista operating system list. After doing this, click on the OK button and your scanning software should begin to install it in compatibility mode for Windows Vista.

  This may solve your problem rather than having to create another partition, install Vista, and then dual-boot.

• I need to reinstall Windows Vista on a computer with a new motherboard.

  My three year, HP Pavilion m9047c PC is dead. $200 and a new mother Brd and it is alive but mute. It does not accept my recovery disks. The technology said that I should call MS. help, please

  What 'tech' did the job?  In order to use the HP recovery disks, HP must have a HP motherboard.  If the installed 'tech' a card mother of Mark non-HP, then the HP recovery discs do not work.  Instead, you will need to purchase a new license of Windows.  You can consider installing Windows 7.  Example: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit - OEM.

• Can configure is no longer Windows Vista update to include the updates for other Microsoft products (Office, Visual Studio, etc.).

  I once had a problem with Windows Update, which gives me a family of .NET Framework through the window of Control Panel\Windows to update to Windows Vista, even if it has been installed and has Microsoft support help me through EasyAssist. The problem of .NET Framework has been fixed, but now I have a problem: the Control Panel\Windows update window informs me today I'll receive downloads for Windows only, not for all Microsoft products.
  When I click on "Change settings", the Microsoft Update option is no longer present.
  When I click on the link 'Get' updates for more products, I am now redirected to the former site of Windows Update V4 (who is not supposed to appear on Windows Vista) instead of Microsoft Update, and this site Web of Windows Update cannot detect the Vista updates.
  So I'm stuck now with only being able to get informed about the upgrades to Windows, but not other updates from Microsoft. And we don't mean Windows Vista x 64 final with the last Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788. This new update would be the culprit?

  Hi Unicodemaster787,

  Even if it is not automatic, you should be able to get your updates from the Microsoft Download center http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/en/default.aspx

  Other than that, your best bet would be to do a repair install and let the system to reinstall the original files and settings.

  When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

  To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

     Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then click on install now.

  3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
  5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
  7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.

  Remember, however, that it could undo previous changes to solve your problems of .net.

• Windows Vista - update causing high memory usage

  I got the pages of updates over the past two years. I think the volume of updates had a negative impact on the use of memory and the computer takes an extremely long time to boot and load anything. Windows creates a record high every day useage, although all similar products Office software have been removed. I took it home and it should work fine. There is no Add - ons, with the exception of a printer.

  (1) is the volume of updates slow down my system to a crawl?

  (2) what can I do to fix the problem?

  Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

• Windows Vista update causes applications non - IE to be denied access to the internet

  I have a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 unfortunately comes with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has caused me a lot of problems with conflicts between her and others, package applications, and now I am forced to use my network at home for route information and documents that must move through the internet by sharing them with another computer Windows XP which is also configured exactly as my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. I look forward to wean myself off of all MS products, possibly other that MS Office, I use a lot and plays always well for me to wire many years and updates/upgrades. Not the same for MS Windows Vista, however. My experience, similar to many other forum users, has been constantly frustrating over the years I've had to deal with it.  I lost a lot of time dealing with problems caused by code errors in the last set of MS Windows Vista updates that made all my package applications that require internet access unusable.

  I contacted the support of Lenovo and support forums for my problem, and they too cannot provide all the answers that address this issue that is causing me to spend much too much time I could use to work at a rate of $65 / hr, so you can see that this is not only an inconvenience.

  Before someone points me to the myriad other similar positions for possible answers, let me say that I probably have alread read it and tried all the suggested actions, without success. I need to REAL answers and REAL support, and I need it NOW.  Also, I don't think I should have to pay for the support which has been made necessary by the negligence of MS to test their updates for compatibility issues with the popular, free package critical applications for the safety of MS OS system of a user, such as AVG Free antivirus, ZoneAlarm Free firewall personal , OR who are competitors for their navigation on the web or by email client applications. I am not now under the other another firewall that MS Vista firewall having had to uninstall my firewall ZoneAlarm Free. I even had one of my other previously compatible and effective anti-malware/spyware apps, AdAware, uninstall Lavasoft. No matter what I did, which was suggested to me by MS resources support or Lenovo support resources, this problem, which began shortly after the last round of all the months of downloads to fix security and facilities, persists and cost me more money in revenue and lost time every day.
