Apr 8, 2009I have Vista Ultimate x64 and I have installed a few programs on my PC. One tool/program I have is called PC Probe II. Which is a monitoring tool for ASUS Mobo's. Everytime I run this program, I constantly have to hit RUN like it is reinstalling. Why is this? I thought once a program was installed, all you have to do is double click on it and it runs automatically?

Mar 5, 2010I originally sought help for a problem with a hotfix, KB978251, which my machine would not accept. Over in the Updates thread, here, kb978251 cannot install: why? Flavius was gracious enough to respond. After running the diagnostics and posting the results he'd requested, the end result seems to be that my installation of Vista is corrupted.
His advice was to reinstall vista or upgrade to Windows 7. I am loathe to accept either course of action. The reinstall directions by Brink, here, Repair Install For Vista states explicity,
IF YOU HAVE THE VISTA SP2 INSTALLED: This will not work if you have SP1 and SP2 installed unless your Vista installation DVD includes SP2. I, of course, have SP2 installed. My Vista installation DVD did NOT include SP2; I patched my install to SP1, then later, to SP2.
To confirm, is it impossible to repair Vista if SP2 is installed and my DVD did NOT contain SP2?
Without reformatting my computer and starting from scratch, a course of action which seems quite drastic and perhaps not what Microsoft designed their OS to be known for, how can I repair my Vista installation?
My sfc files are attached. My understanding is that I have a lot of corrupt files. I am willing to replace them, but I need more information to interpret the results of the sfc output.
Can Not Reinstall The Program
Mar 1, 2010So I was spending way too much time on facebook and way too much time gaming when I needed to study for a chem test today so I thought it would be a good idea to somehow enable parental controls to only give me 30 mins a day on facebook and an reasonable amount of time on the computer game. I was going to get my roomate to type the password. After I went to parental controls I quickly realized that I could not micro manage the parental controls the way I wanted to because vista sucks.
So I downloaded "USER TIME CONTROL CENTER v 4.9.2.7" from "http://www.1securitycenter.com/index.html" and installed it. Then I realized I did not like the program because when I ran it it did not allow me to use any kind of administrative commands. It took me awile to figure out how to disable it but when I did I was able to uninstall it. The computer rebooted and then I quickly deleted it from out of my recycling bin only to find out that I still can not run administrative commands.
So now I:
1. Do not have the program
2. Can not reinstall the program
3. Can not restore program
4. Can not use any kind of 'run as administrator' (No error message, it tells me to type password but it wont let me imput)
Think that the problem is related to:
1. Csrss.exe
2. Csrstub.exe
And I dont know how to: Access User:administrator

View 6 Replies View RelatedReinstall Basic Without DVD?
Jun 25, 2008I need to reformat the hard-drive of my laptop (annual clean) but I cannot find my Vista Basic DVD, I cannot even remember getting any DVDs with the laptop when I bought it brand new from Currys (major UK electronics shop) before christmas.
Is there any other way I can reinstall Vista Basic (I don't want to restore Vista to a previous date) without the DVD? I've been into Start/Computer/Properties to get my Windows Activation Product ID, just in case anything thinks I'm trying to install an un-purchased copy. Also, what would I need to do for drivers of things like the graphics, sound, wireless network card etc?
Reinstall/Repair?
Mar 23, 2008Is there a process by which I can reinstall Vista Ultimate so that it repairs an existing install? Perhaps foolishly, I installed SP1 RC. Initially it ran well. A week (or two?) my hard disk is trashing constantly (like background defrag) and everything's slow as molasses. That includes web screen flips, file reads, email, etc. I suspect it's
SP1 RC but am not certain, as I've installed other software since, that being HP Solution Center for my wireless AIO printer. I uninstalled SP1 RC but nothing improved. If I can refresh or repair the existing Vista Ultimate, I'd like to try. I've been unable to determine if there are other problems. My alternative is a full rebuild and reinstall, which I'd really rather not do.
Can't Reinstall/fix Stuck
Aug 27, 2009I turn it on and get a message saying to insert the DVD to fix a system registry error. ( I don't remember what message it was sorry) So I do and windows boots. I backed up my files that night. Next day windows is acting weird and sluggish, if I try to open my computer or documents PC freezes, it takes a long time to boot and 8 times out of ten will hang on the green loading bar or take an hour to load, my sound card deleted itself as did my cdrom drive. Safe mode either takes forever to boot or will freeze when loading drivers, I tried to re store/reinstall and boot from the vista DVD at startup but i get the message "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header check sum does not match the computed check sum" or "couldn't find boot manager". This happens for the x64 vista disk, x32 disk and my XP pro disk. I tried to reformat in safe mode command prompt and it said Formatting the partition was prohibited. I thought it was my ram at first so bought new ram but still the same problem. I'm also not sure what caused this I do regular virus checks with up to date software, maybe its a bad windows update?

I had to send in the laptop and they told me all they did is update the BIOS and it worked fine.

I've created an admin user with my name, but that user will come on in the DOS command, I can see it everywhere but not my username. example, here is a pic It has bugged me a lot and I didn't do much about it, but now I really need to find a solution to change this "test" username to mine.

May 23, 2009I had to create a windows recovery disk
I used it to system restore her system to a date before she had set her password
and on the menu it said install vista
and on my old laptop that my dad has it's a 2gb compaq presario
they're not made anymore
it has low memory it's very slow and really
hardly useable without getting very stressed
so if I used the recovery disk I created
and click install vista
will it be like a new laptop?
there's nothing needed on the laptop
so nothing is being lost by resetting the laptop
it's got vista home premium x86
Reinstall Vista Without The Disk?
Jul 29, 2009Some trouble with IE & FireFox yesterday & I've
come to the conclusion it's probably best if I reinstall windows.
I don't care about losing everything & starting from scratch as
everything important I have on a seperate hard drive anyway.
The only problem is, I was never given a Windows Vista disk with this
laptop & don't think I have ever had one.
How would I go about either doing a repair installation or just doing a
complete Windows reinstallation without a start-up disk?
Vista Reinstall Failure

View 9 Replies View RelatedToo Slow, Needed Reinstall
Mar 23, 2009My vista 32 install slowed down so much that I did a full install from scratch. Since the professionals say dead registry entries don't hurt ( see posts at Registry Cleaner ), what is it that might cause vista to get slower and slower?
I've heard it often said that windows seems to just slow down over time, and it seems to be true in my experience as well.
I'd like to know how to get my system running great without needing to reinstall..
Yes, I know this is a vista 64 forum, in fact I'm now using vista 64, not 32. But the general question should still apply: why do windows os'es (32 or 64) seem to bog down over time?
Delete Windows.old After Reinstall?
Mar 21, 2010I read the tutorial about deleting windows.old, and that's simple enough, but I have a few questions. I reinstalled after the BitDefender 64-bit fiasco yesterday. It went OK, and I found all the saved files in windows.old which I was afraid I had lost. I was particularly concerned about my video and recorded TV files, so, when I found them intact, I "moved" them back to the appropriate "public" folders. Now Media Center sees them just fine. The weird thing, though, is that when I go into Windows Explorer, the files still "exist" in both the normal public folder and in the place I found them in windows.old.
Since I know that I didn't have enough disk space to duplicate them, the problem has to be a pointer or shortcut, but I'm at a loss as to how to get rid of it. I can, if need be, get another drive and copy them off, but I hesitate to just delete the windows.old folder without knowing if I'm going to also delete the files that are supposedly in the public video and recorded TV folders. Neither do I want to copy all those files off if I don't need to. Can someone explain this further, point me to another thread or tutorial that I missed, or tell me what will happen to my files?
Reinstall IE7 To Remove Adware?
Mar 23, 2008My daughter managed to download some malware onto her computer (she doesn't know how she did it). The various anti-virus, firewall, and anti-malware (including Defender, Spybot, ZoneAlarm Pro and AdAware) do not catch this malware. The malware opens Internet Explorer windows with ads. Investigating the computer with Sypbot and others, the malware seems to be "1 mags 16 more" and "BEND BOLT". I've disabled these programs with Spybot, but of course have no way to uninstall these programs.
Unfortunately, a side-effect is that this has prevented IE from running at all. When attempting to start IE7, nothing happens (no error message; it just doesn't start). Would it help to uninstall IE7 and then reinstall it from scratch? If so, how do I go about it (and where do I find the IE7 download -- I don't seem to be able to find it on the Microsoft website)? I'd like to avoid a full hard drive reformat, if possible.
