When I run the back up it always ends up with an error code[0x80070002] "system cannot find the file specified." I have tried to re boot and hold F8 and repair your computer but it seems that nothing happens. I have tried this 4 or 5 times and nothing. I put the reinstallation disc in but I dont know if I can repair the problem without doing a fresh install and losing all my files. I checked and I see a lot of people with the same type of problem with backups. Could this be solved or do I have to reinstall or should I get third party backup. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell XPS 32 bit with 2046 MB memory, Intel Core 2 CPU.
Is it just me, or does IE8 have more bugs than a low rent apartment?! This is nuts! Links on web pages don't work, screen flashes back and forth to solid black when I move my mouse. What a nightmare! I found it listed in the 'Updates' area, and was able to remove it. I didn't know Microsoft was capable of releasing junk like this...
I am getting a new PC. The 64 bit OEM version of Home Premium is only $10 more, and I will have the hardware to run it. However, there are many that warn against the 64 bit version, and the last thing I would want is to find out that some hardware does not work, or that there are problems with our home network. I am also worried about not being able to run 16 bit programs and bits and pieces without proper signatures. Apparently the 64 bit version rejects these. The best alternative would be to buy the 64 bit version, but install and run it as 32 bit untill such time when I progressively replace hardware, the other PC's etc. Is this possible? I have heard that it can be run as 32 bits, but is this across the system, or is it on application by application basis.
I'm confused - I keep seeing different statements as to which versions of Vista that Virtual PC will work with. So any experience of whether it will work with 64bit Home Premium?
my activation key didi not work and when i called microsoft suppport, they said my key was actually from windows ultimate beta 1. they told me to come to the forums and put up this question to ask for help from tecnicans like u. how to solve this problem, my acivation period is gone and i'm running a one hour low support mode.

After I started windows 7 easy transfer on Vista Home Premium 32 bit, it runs for a while, then says "please reboot your PC and try again". Rebooted a few times and still get the same error. I got tried chkdsk at reboot time and 'Repair your computer' using vista DVD instal disk.
i bought this system on 2nd november. just imagine, i spend ~1800$ to buy this pc AND after 17 days, 17 days i still cant get sound out of my onboard sound card!
the problem is that the ANALOG BACK PANEL and FRONT PANEL does not work
Here are gigabyte tech support's answers to my problem: "We are really sorry for the inconvenience you have with our product and According to your description, a further testing or examination to your system might be required."
today, my supplier tested the motherboard in front of my eyes, and it worked fine THERE. they said maybe it is your graphics card's driver (HD 4870) that makes this problem. so i came home, uninstalled the VGA driver and ATI HD Audio driver and STILL NO SOUND my speakers are fine (i tested them with another pc and with my mp3 player) and i installed the latest drivers for everything.
i also e-mailed Realtek technical support last week, and they didnt answer! i asked in 3 or 4 other forums (tomshardware, anandtech, guru3d....) no one could help me if u need to know anything, please let me know and here are some pictures, maybe they can help u to figure out what is wrong with my pc [url] as u can see in the last picture, the ANALOG BACK PANEL is inactive in Realtek HD Audio Manager.
I recently tried to upgrade from Vista Basic to Vista Premium but the activation key didn't work. So I recovered Vista Basic from the windows.old file but there is still a corrupt version of Vista Premium on my hard disk. how to remove it?
Does "secpol.msc " work with Vista home premium? The search did not return anything. Is there another way to display the GUI for local security policy?
i had cleaned up my hibernation option unfortunately in disk cleanup thinking that i is using 3 GB of my C drive and from then im not having the option HIBERNATION when i wanna keep my notebook shut.
and if i want it back is there any option of getting it..and to keep the size of it to a limited one bcoz im having just 30 GB to my C drive ...
I am considering a repair install for sometime in the future if I can't get the misc. issues fixed. I could do a clean install but wouldn't learn much that way. Premium on P1 is the manufacturer's preinstalled OS from which I have removed the bloatware, cleaned it up & installed SP1 but am left with a few quirky behaviors.
sfc /scannow doesn't find any integrity violations. I have a Vista SP1 install DVD with all versions and the Upgrade/repair option is available in Premium using this DVD, I checked. I've read the tutorial but just double checking to be sure. I have everything imaged with Acronis but still wouldn't want to get into restoring the images.
A repair install should only make changes to the Premium OS on P1? I may have to repair my triple boot? (I'm using EasyBCD)
I have Vista premium 32 bit, I want the 64 bit version of premium. My friend said he paid $10 for shipping of the 64 home edition but paid no other cost. do i have to pay for a $160 upgrade to 64 or can i also pay $10 since i have a purchased copy of 32 vista? I have heard that all versions of the 64 bit upgrade are on the same cd, so I should be able to install premium 64 from my friends home 64 cd. Correct? what is the crap i have read about having to have full version of XP to upgrade to 64 vista....does this sound pretty stupid to anyone else...considering if a new copy of vista was bought, you obviously did not purchase XP.....
I have been wracking my brain for weeks now, trying to play C&C First Decade with Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge over the LAN, it will only run on IPX networking which I could setup with 2x XP machines, I have Vista Ultimate on my PC, and XP on another, I found some drivers for IPX to work on Vista, didn't work ... So I loaded Hamachi which had built-in IPX support. Now when I open RA2, it no longer says IPX unavailable, it shows 00 00 00...
So it can see my Hamachi adapter with IPX support, great! The other XP machine has Hamachi installed, and they are both VPN'd (Connected) on the same Hamachi Network. They don't see each other... The XP machine shows a few IPX networks, I have tried switching to them all, even put the Hamachi adapter and the LAN adapter to the top of the preferred networks list. This was sort-of a breeze with both XP, but with Vista it's looking to be a bit tricky. I have no firewalls running on either machine and I am pretty cluey when it comes to networking (TCP/IP that is).
Ive just bought some new headphones yet when i plug them in the sound still comes out of the speakers. I know the headphones do work because i use them with my mp3 player
I just purchased a HP tx2000 Table PC with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. However, I got a Palm Treo 680 that only works with 32-Bit. I need to find a way to change my operating system down to 32-Bit.
why did i install Vista anyway? So stable, so fast, so fast, so..... fast. I have XP installed with SP3 and everything runs so well, my CPU runs so cooler for some reason, all my games, even Crysis run so better! AND, what? Only 200mb of ram is used right now instead of almost 1gb? x64, Directx10, i wont miss you, damn ressources pigs! was good to read on this forum when i had troubles with Vista, but now i wont have to, since XP is perfect.
I partitioned my HD and had vista and XP on it. All my music and everything was on my xp partition, and when i tried to access them from vista it wouldnt let me because of permission rights. I enabled vista to read them by enabling me as an admin under the security tab. After than it was fine. Then after getting pretty frustrated with vista I just deleted the partition in XP. Thinking everthing would be fine, I booted my comp. and it still wants to boot to vista, but theres nothing there. I want it to just go straight to XP. And also, since I made it to where I could read my files in vista, I cant read My Documents in XP, it says I dont have the right to read it, but I am the one and only admin on XP. .
Is it possible to make an image backup with this operating system?
Also if a file backup completes successfully and is backed up on a network drive will I be able to restore from a new install of window vista premium on the same laptop that was backed up to the network drive? Is there a better way using vista premium? I have Norton Ghost 12.0 on my desktop but not on the laptop with vista premium. Don't what to have to buy a license for laptop if there is another way to make sure in case of a failure of the operating system that I could recover by an full backup or image ? I do some beta testing and do not want to spend hours re-loading software.
I turned it off to install a program because it required the UAC to be off, not I try and turn it on by going Control Panel > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control on or off > Continue > then ticking the box and pressing OK. I pressed Turn User Account Control on or off > Continue and find that it is not ticked and UAC is NOT on. I keep ticking the box and going OK but it just doesn't turn on.
I getting a notification on the bottom bar right hand side saying backup failure. When i click on this, "Backup status & configuration" window appears, which says
The Backup did not complete succesfully
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (0x8000FFFF).
So then if i try and do a a back up from control panel. a green bar appears and then go's red completely.
Finaly i get the same message on the bottom right hand side.
Due to an Office Enterprise issue that can only be resolved with a clean re-install of Vista on an ACER computer rather than re-installing the ACER factory load I have bought a Full version of VISTA Home Preimum so that I can do a CLEAN install. I have 3 partitions on my HD C, D & hidden, the hidden contains the factory load. My plan is to run a full back up to D as well as copies of my files. I will also make copies of my files off computer. I do have the ACER recovery disks but I hope to never have to use them. When I am all backed up I would like to format C, get rid of the hidden partition, keep D, put the VISTA DVD into the drive and do a clean install of VISTA on C. I could be wrong but I think that it would be best to format before putting the VISTA disk into the drive so there is no confusion between product keys etc. this is not an upgrade it is the same version that ACER supplied.
Maybe this is a dumb question, I don't know. I reformat my computer about twice a year to keep things ship shape and one of the most annoying things about it is getting back all the windows / microsoft updates. Is it possible to back up all the updates you have on your computer to speed things up?
Also, if I have Vista SP1 as my install disk, and have SP2 saved to a disk can I just go ahead and put SP2 on right away or do you have to get all the little in between updates that came out before SP2?
Currently I backup my entire C directory and the D recovery to a Clickfree 320g external drive. Is this the best approach? I am assuming that in taking that approach the OS is also backed up and given the worst case that I must reinstall the OS I can get back to pre-event status given it's all backed up. Anyway what is the best approach to" Back-up"?
I have tried three methods to uninstall my 360 day trial of Vista Ultimate and go back to XP operating system- I am desperate. I have tried three methods from Windows support centre with no results and I want to stop this system. I am desperate
