  Hello

  Thanks for the post.

  Disconnect any attached external devices.

  If you use a third-party antivirus disable and then install updates and check.

  Temporarily turn off the firewall and antivirus software and try to install the updates.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-Vista

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If this does not help, then I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and then install. Start your computer in a clean boot state, you can reduce conflicts between software and help identify the root cause of the problem. You can read this article for more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: after the resolution of the problem, reset the computer to start as usual. Refer to the step How to configure the computer to start as usual after a boot minimum troubleshooting under more information.

  Try this and let us know the results.

• Restoration of 32-bit of Windows Vista on laptop HP Pavilion DV9500t

  Recently, I used my system restore disc to take my laptop to the original image.  He gets throughout the installation procedure, boots in windows, and then automatic update software comes in and tries to install the rest at all.  Subsequently if you leave it alone for a while he wanders around a window saying the "recovery process failed' and to 'view details' or 'Retry '.  If you 'try again', he asked that some 'support sent disc 1', which does not exist.  Help, please.
  Thank you.

• Bottom loading and use of the licensed version of Windows 7 instead of the licensed version of Windows vista Home premium on acer ferrari laptop

  I use an Acer ferrari laptop model with windows vista home premium OS. I would like to know if I can do the free download and use windows 7 instead of windows vista in laptop (I understand that there is a similar model earlier). The laptop is used entirely for personal use @ home, not for purposes of Trade/office.

  Windows Vista is to give a lot of problems even with installed virus scan software. It is slow and gives challenges to the use of household memebrs.

  Many offered computer manufacturers free updates from Vista to Windows 7 on computers purchased during a certain period of time, but this time with the supply have long expired.  There is no such offer to download/update free available anywhere.

• Windows Vista / Aero on my Equium M70

  Hello. I just downloaded Windows Vista RC1 for my M70 that only, I bought a couple of months it is from Curry. It has Vista capable sticker on it and the seller has confirmed that Vista will work properly with 3D enhancements.

  Of course, I want to have a full experience of Windows Vista. Yet, Windows Aero does not work on my machine because of the graphics card: Mobile Intel (r) 82915 GM/GMS/910GML. I didn't bother installing the basic version again. I did some research for the past hours. The equipment meets the requirements of Vista but it's the Intel driver that needs to be updated and Intel have yet to put the pilot. I sent them an email about this, and they said that it is not their policy to disclose information about software that may or may not be current. They also stressed that Vista is not officially released yet.

  What I want to know is, Intel released a driver for my machine/chipset compatible with Windows Aero, even after that Vista has been officially released? He has seriously upset that my laptop, that I spent so much may not be at the height.

  Help, please!

  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

  If the Vista Ultimate is a full retail product and then install it here.  You may need to use telephone activation, but this isn't a problem.
   
  If it is a Vista Ultimate upgrade version, you must have an operating system that is valid for upgrade and without a preinstalled OS or a license for the new computer "legally" impossible to install the upgrade version.
   
  XP OEM license for the old system died with the old system and cannot be used for the new computer as a qualifier for an upgrade.
