8GB RAM & 64 Install: Install Vista64 With Only 1 Stick Of RAM First Prior To Installing All 8 Megs

Jul 17, 2008

I am about to install Vista64 home premium on a new build with 8 megs of RAM. The disk is Vista64 SP1. I was wondering if it is still recommended to install Vista64 with only 1 stick of RAM first prior to installing all 8 megs? Or because the disk has SP1, is this no longer an issue?

Check The Memory For Errors BEFORE I Load/install Windows Vista Home Premium X64 To Avoid Install Hang-ups

May 25, 2008

I would like to check the memory for errors BEFORE I load/install Windows Vista Home Premium x64 to avoid install hang-ups. Can you make an ISO CD of this program, load it in your CD/DVD drive and check your memory for errors? I recently updated the BIOS on the board (DP35DP) and it does show all of the 4GB of Kingston ValueRam PC800 1.8v (2x2gb) installed. I have good reason to believe that it's from a respectable manufacturer. Just want to make sure the memory is good before I load up the OS.

Clean Install, Verify Previous Install Of XP/2000?

Jan 30, 2007

I'm assuming a clean install with an upgrade license will be identical to a clean install with a 'full' copy, except that at some point during the process, it will ask for my key for Windows XP? I just want to confirm this is the case before I go buy an upgrade copy. one last question to tack on here - if I have a desktop and a laptop computer will it let me install the same copy and license key of Vista on both? I know some MS products in the past have allowed you to install on more than one computer because they realize a lot of people have more than one computer but they only work with one at a given time.

SP1 Will Not Install And Install Failed With Error 80004005

Apr 25, 2008

I've tried numerous times to Install Vista Sp1, but without success. The install appers to go well, reaching 100% at stage 3, but then the screen reports the SP did not successfully install, and proceeds to roll back. On Checking the message in Windows Update, the install failed with error 80004005. I've raised the issue directly with MS, but the advice to install the SP in Safe mode has not helped. I've also trawled various forums and cannot find any reference to the specific error code.

I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ1. A number of forums seem to suggest it might be a hardware issue, and I have tried disabling / uninstalling various devices to
see if this helps, but this also has not got me any further. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what this error code means? Is there a way to force the SP to install despite this error code (it does get to 100% at stage 3 after all, so maybe it does install, but one of the packages check routines is picking up an error which doesn't really exist???)

Install - Repair Install

Apr 20, 2008

I could do a repair install, install new motherboard drivers and possibly have to validate all over again the same as you always did with XP but no good. I cannot get into Windows at all so cant run repair from WITHIN windows and no option from the boot DVD works. So, do you have to lose everything each time you upgrade hardware or some part of it dies meaning you are forced to upgrade hardware?

I installed from Vista Business pre SP1 and installed SP1 before the motherboard died.

Install On Second HD

Mar 30, 2008

My laptop has a two HD's on board. I was thinking of replacing my larger D drive where I store data with the original smaller HD that came with and using that to install Vista. If I do that I can still access my data with a USB connection. Seems like the perfect solution! Does this then give me dual boot options? Will my programs installed on the XP drive work with Vista or do I have to install them again on the Vista drive? Even if I have to install them on the Vista drive it seems like I could go at it slowly as time allows and continue using XP until it's all up and running well. Does that make sense or am I missing something? I keep good backups but I like having the XP drive intact in case I missed something. Lots of senior moments these days! If this is good, will I be able to eventually just swap my Vista drive into the first postion where the XP drive is now? Or is there and another way to move or it to the C position?

Best Way To Install SP2?

May 31, 2009

Sorry if this is redundant. I have a fairly slow broadband connection (1 mbps) but barely good enough for downloading Vista SP2. However, considering efficiency and reliability, would I be better off downloading the standalone installer (using another faster connection elsewhere) and bringing the download on a flash drive to my computer? Is this standalone installer much bigger, containing irrelevant stuff, than what Windows Update would eventually supply me with (since I'm current with all previous updates)?

SP2 Cannot Install

May 27, 2009

uA9lv3JHA.5204@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl>

Vista service pack 2 update seemed to take forever andseemed to stop at 11% download. I shut the computerdown, and then it seemed to take forever to "Configure Updates". So I shut the sucker down and went to bed.Now I can't even start the download for the SP2 update.Instead, it times out with the error code 800B0100.Microsoft's knowledge base on that error pertains toSP1 and diagnostic software for SP1 problems.Is there a way to invalidate whatever got started with the SP2 update and start over?

64 SP1 Will Not Install

Jul 16, 2009

A couple of weeks ago an update (KB955430) would not install. I understand this is a pre-requisite for SP2. Ive had one or two problems lately so decided (reluctantly but nevertheless) to re-formatt, give it a 'clean out'. Since then, lots of updates have installed, including the KB955430. Now, SP1 will not install. It was not offered but I went on the update website and tried to run it from there but now it shows in my available updates unless I choose to 'hide' it.

Everytime I try to install it goes through the process of preparing, downloading (although it shows the file size as 11.2MB and Im not sure this is as big as it should be) and within a few seconds shows it as 50% installed then goes to the red error window on updates saying installation failed. I have seen a couple of different error codes on the numerous times Ive tried to install it but the latest one is error code: 80070057. I have also tried downloading the 64bit standalone version. This appears to be installing, gets to approx 50%, then suddenly the green bar goes to the end (all within about 15 minutes) then the installation window disappears altogether with no message, error message or anything (but it hasn't installed)......

IE8 Install But Can Not Log-in After

After I installed IE8, which I downloaded from the Microsoft website, it requires me to login to some community, so I filled in the username, password and e-mail adress, I even checked the I AGREE checkbox, when I click on the submit button I get straight back to the same page. I notice just above the I AGREE checkbox and subit button a square with weird looking wavy lines, is there something that I am suppose to do with this square

Fix Without Having To Re-install ?

Oct 2, 2009

Cutting a long story short... purchased MS Flight Sim X - will not install -phoned MS tech support who took control of my machine only to be told that there is a problem with my ntdll.dll (possibly corrupt) yet this is the only time I have had any problem. Tech guy advised re-installing vista. I really do not want to have to do that!

Can anyone think of a less sledgehammer-like approach to solving the problem? I have tried replacing my ntdll.dll with one from the recovery partition (an earlier date-stamp was on it), uninstalling FSX and then re-installing but I got exactly the same crash!.......

This will be on the same PC (overwrite my current 32 bit install, and it would obviously need to be actived)

Can't Install OS

Jul 29, 2009

The problem is that my system POST fine, but I can't install OS, namely Vista Ultimate 64. It will load up to language selection window and then hang. The window becomes inactive, even though the cursor moves freely, I can't select 'Next'. I tried many times, all with same result. I ran memory check. BIOS has all defaults except RAID 0. I downloaded Windows 7 RC and exactly the same issue.

I have a a new system with 4 gig of ram and I was told you can not install this OS with anything more than 3gigs of ram as it will not allow it, you have to use say 2gb and then after add in the rest once you have applied a patch. Is this true?
