Microsoft Installing Slowly On My Computer....
Feb 23, 2009
when i install Windows Vista and it is on Expanding Files it takes a really long time, its suddenly stops and its takes a really long time to increase the percentage of Expanding the files...
When it's finish Expanding the files it takes about 1 hr to install and when the installation is complete the start up takes about 30 minutes to finish and open the desktop and when im in the desktop, it takes about 10 minutes to just click on something and usually it freezes or locks up and it will just continue reading.....
I have already tested the "Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor" and it said that my computer can run any Vista Version. i've been so stress just waiting for the installation of this Windows.

Vista Home Premium prevents installation of Microsoft C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) and returns Error 1935. Microsoft website lists Microsoft C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) as Vista compatible product.

If I buy a laptop, can I use the product with same product key that I installed to my PC? Product Like "Office Home and Student 2007" and "Microsoft Outlook 2007".

As you may know, quite a few users are experiencing difficulty opening=20 attachments after installing IE8. I've been asked by Microsoft to apprise them of the extent of this = issue. Those of you who are Microsoft MVPs or otherwise have access to Microsoft Connect, please endorse my Feedback Report

Running Vista Ultimate, had tried to install Logitech Pro 3000 cam. Not able to do so, bought Microsoft LifecamVX-3000 which is supposed to be Vista certified. Inserted the installation disc as instructions and was told that it was not compatible with Vista. Link to Microsoft where an updated file was available. Downloaded and installed and plugged in USB connector for the Cam as instructed. Plug and Play now pops up and tells me that it is not certified. Another box comes up telling me that it is finished. Close the Plug and Play dialog box. and the another box tells me that installation has failed and underneath thia I get, Installation was successfull. Am not able to use it because Cam has not been detected.

I know I can only have one registered copy and that's on my computer but is it possible to have a working Vista on a friend's computer but without having to register it? I have the upgrade version of home premium SP1. I remember reading that it's possible to install Vista without registering for a certain amount of time and that the time can be extended. I figure they can't use windows update but I think the Vista HP SP1 by itself is rather stable regardless. I was going to have them use the Windows 7 Beta but it can't be downloaded anymore from Microsoft's site and I don't want to use torrents. They'd have bought Vista themselves by now but with a kid on the way and moving, they can't shell out the dough right now and their comp is acting up.

My friend bought a new computer a few months ago that came with Vista installed. It also came with a bunch of other programs (bloatware) installed. I uninstalled all the stuff she didn't want, which included Norton AV, and replaced that particular program with AntiVir, which I have used and liked for years. She doesn't use the computer for much except playing pre-installed card games and reading email, and she didn't install anything except her Kodak printer. I installed the Comodo firewall, but that didn't work well for her, so when Zone Alarm released a Vista-compatible version, I uninstalled Comodo and installed ZA.
She began telling me the computer was freezing up from time to time. Then it began freezing up regularly. Now it is freezing up so badly that she can't even play her games. I reviewed the event log and found errors involving Windows Error Reporting service, and warnings about the printer. I turned off the error reporting and unplugged the printer. The problem persisted..............

I have an HP computer that was running Vista nicely and smoothly. However, it appears after downloading and installing Vista SP 1, the computer has a tendency of "freezing" and the only remedy is to press the power button. I did notice that when the computer freezes, my second bay DVD drive flashes, and the activity light on the console, which indicates HD activity, constantly flashes. It is a new HP Computer running Vista Premium Home.

can both run on one vista computer. Microsoft mail with one email provider (work) and outlook with another(school)? any special setup required. I suppose each will have its own contact manager, but one could be used.

Can Microsoft delete files on my computer through VISTA without my consent? If so, what files can be deleted? Can files be accessed by them the same way? Again, if so, does anyone have a link to website documenting this?

It has the little <!> showing down by the shutdown button on the start menu, saying "Installs updates and shuts down your computer." I did that. Then I did it again. And again.
Three reboots, still wants me to update. I have done the updates. Now what? I read once the trick was to disable the UAC setting. That did nothing. I get no error message. It boots up normally..then <!> comes back again.

I have a Acer aspire Laptop with Windows vista 64 bit It worked fine until the other day i started it and it wouldn't boot windows at all. The only disk that I got with my computer was the Windows vista anytime upgrade CD. It has let me install windows vista once before when my computer crashed. Now when I try to re-install Windows vista everything works fine until I get to the part where it asks me to select the drive on where to install it to.I can't find any where it is suppose to list them.Also what used to be my C: drive is now Drive X: I have tried to boot from dos,Treid to do the repair,Nothing seems to work. When I start my computer now the only thing I get is; Media test failure,Check cable Exiting PXE ROM Can anyone give me some ideas on what to try or do?

xAorKZKHA.1592@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl> I wanted to try Win7 without losing Vista, so I installed it on a separate partition to dual boot.So I have Vista on C: and Win 7 on G: - same disk, different partitions. A boot menu was set up, but Win 7 boots by default if I don't choose Vista instead.I now want to move towards Win 7 on C:, and return to just one partition. But I have quite a lot of software and shortcuts now set up on G:, and if I were to delete C:, change G: to C: I'd have to start uninstalling and reinstalling everything so that C: was referenced. by everything. I'd rather install Win 7 onto c:, and gradually install software again, whilst being able to continue booting into Win 7 on G; to carry on working as needed. So, if I were to install Win 7 again onto the C: partition, either by doing an upgrade, or formatting C: and doing a fresh install,
a) would that cause any activation/legal problems, having Win 7 installed on the same computer twice in separate partitions
b) if it was OK to do that, which installation would become the default boot option.

Can you use MicroSoft Office Standard 2007 32 bit on Vista 64 bit computer? From what I've read it says yes, but I'd like to verify that.

why Microsoft would release a product knowing that there are unresolved issues with the product? What is the point of doing Beta testing if you are not going to find all the bugs, fix them and then release the product? I'm not trying to be flippant(sp?) here. This is a serious question. With all the money, man/woman power and brain power available to Microsoft for R&D, why is it so hard to put out a product that works from the word go? I don't want to become Microsoft certified in order to keep my computer running. I shouldn't have to fool with my computers registry so that I can install an update to fix a problem that they knew about before they sold it to me. Come on Bill. I thought the whole purpose of technology advancing was to make our life easier. I want to insert disk and push play. I'm not talking about dumbing things down. I'm talking about Microsoft developing their products, making sure they work and then selling them to us. Interesting concept

I just bought a Dell studio XPS 1640 about a week ago. It ran perfectly until 2 days ago. Now when I turn on the computer it takes forever. When it finally gets running the HDD light on the case is always on and it runs very slowly. If the computer has been on for several hours the light turns off and it runs fine. But when I restart it does the same thing over again. I thought it might be indexing or something along those lines but didnt know how to find out.

the PC boots up very slowly and I began to occasionally receive Blue Screen Errors. I think I have most up to date drivers for my hardware and applied most of the tutorials in the Speed Up the Performance of Vista Tutorial on my PC. However I have a RAID 0 setup and 3 partitions on my HDs and couldn not apply the #6. Enable Advanced Performance for the Hard Drive tutorial.
At system startup up Windows Explorer crashes sometimes and while playing Adobe Flash Movies from a CD I got an Blue Screen Error after I restarted the computer in Safe Mode with Net Support and now I am writing this post; the computer booted faster in safe mode without Kaspersky AV and ATI CCC.
After boot the windows reported that the cause of unexpected error was Intel Matrix Storage Manager(iaStor.sys)? I have used Uniblue Driver Scanner 2009 to scan the drivers and update them as necessary recently. How can I find out if there is any driver conflicts or cluster on the main drive? I have SP1 installed with 4GB physical RAM whose only 3070 MB can be used and have the latest drivers avaible for my GPU and the latest BIOS for my MOBO. I also experience lack of performance while displaying desktop, executing a program. Furthermore I want to know how can I access Boot logs manually.

I was using Microsoft Outlook Express as my mail client. Then Microsoft advised users to update to Windows Mail since they no longer supported Outlook Express..so I did. Now Microsoft is directing users to install Microsoft LIVE Mail? What is the difference between Microsoft Mail (which I am running) and Microsoft LIVE Mail....and, why would a user run LIVE over MAIL?

Before the computer actually came to the point of "shuting down just before it tried to load the o/s" it literrly kept shuting down on its own randomly for a week or so. Then the blue screen appeard with this error: 0x0000007BC , 0x84C5DBA0, 0x0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000 "Run CHKDSK /F and check for Hard Drive Corruption and then restart your computer"
Basically it's telling me the DRIVE is corruptet! Well, I plugged that SATA 2 HDD into my other computer (windows xp), detected it correctly and actually formated the drive and reinstalled XP on it without any types of problem. Does it still mean - SATA 2 is corrupted or broken!? How about the RAM then ... indeed, I did run the MemTest for 7 times and no errors were found. So the RAM are ok in this case, or am I wrong?! Maybe it's the PSU... ermmm no that cannot be 'cos the computer never shuts down, if I leave it run for (e.g 5 hours) and even if it's comes to "overheating" that cannot be the case eather, as its *again" never shuts down when you leave it run on the power.........

When I reboot my computer through Windows the computer shuts down correctly, but then the monitor remains black and the bios starts beeping out the error code for "VGA not detected". Why would this be? I am forced to press the power button and wait from 5 to 10 minutes to reboot normally. (I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64, have an ASUS P6T Deluxe motherboard and a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 280. 800 watts ZION power supply) Is this a BIOS settings or GPU problem? I already reseated the GPU. Could it be a power supply failure?
