Can't Update Vista: Failures Related To Security
Apr 6, 2008A Dell Inspiron 1521 running Vista. There are several problems that all seem related but the most obvious one is that I can't update Vista. It is set up to update automatically. However, the "New Updates are Available" Icon appears on the task bar. If I click on it a window comes up and immediately disappears. If I hunt through the help menus until I find a link that says "Click to open Windows Update" the same thing happens: a window opens and immediately shuts. Similarly if I go to the control panel and click Windows Update nothing happens.
If I right click on it and choose Explore a window comes up but it is empty. The Default Programs icon is similarly unresponsive. If I click on the Windows Defender Icon and click on that and say to update, it returns error 0x8007045a. In addition to that, the backup/recovery thing returns errors. And when I try to run Ad-Aware it hangs. All of these failures are related to security
Vista Security Virus And System Restore?
Apr 28, 2010My grandson allowed the vista security virus on their PC I am trying to fix it. It blocked everything I did between using my Daughters laptop and gathering info from the internet I did get the PC Doctor downloaded (took forever) and installed on the infected PC then ran a scan only to find out that I had to purchase the tool to remove it. I did and the Pc worked fine or so I thought.
DD looked up lowes last night and now today it is again posessed it will not let me run system restore everytime I look up something on the internet it redirects me to stupid pages that have nothing to do with what i key in. so I am trying system restore and it wont open it tells me it is already running. This is a vista home basics I have no idea if it is 32 or 64.
Mcafee Security Center Will Not Work After System Restore
May 14, 2009I am currently using Vista Home Premium. I had a problem with one of the current updates and had to use system restore. After the restore everything worked fine except that Mc Afee Security would no longer function, with the exception of the Firewall. Mc Afee indicated that the secuerity center was more than 30 days out of date. My system restore was set for less than 24 hours. Is this a normal situation and is there any way to prevent it in the future?
View 4 Replies View RelatedActivation Or Related?
Jan 9, 2008No this is nothing to do with Piracy and whatnot, my Vista is perfectly legal (and I have the Credit card bill to prove this.). I am on my "1st build" and am currently using the "30 day trial" - the reason for this was that I wanted to be sure that everything ran smoothly before I activated the software, mainly because I was unsure about whether or not x64 would play nice (and I may have had to install x32 instead) It does, and I'm chuffed.
My main Q is, should I activate... and say in 6 months time, I have to do a fresh build , I assume that I will be able to without incident (worst case scenario I have to phone MS, but then I did that with XP and had no problems.) Secondly, should I wish to change Hardware i.e. Graphics card / adding another hard drive (which are about the only two upgrades I'd do to this monster of a machine) after activation, I assume thats allowed ?
Hanging Related To Updates
Sep 17, 2009Working on a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4617, using Windows Vista Home Premium. It started out with hangtime -- a lot of hangtime. With anything that put a little stress on the system: music, games, movies were all useless to me now. Even web browsing was a chore, with a 15-second hangtime for each web page opened -- sometimes twice (much worse on the graphics-heavy sites). The system was also extremely slow retrieving files on the hard disk. I didn't know what to do for several months until I narrowed the cause down to the Windows Update Error 80070426. Based on advice to other people with similar problems that I found here and other places, I took the following steps: I made sure my copy of Vista was re-authenticated, then I tried installing the updates again. No luck.
The next option was to restore my machine to the factory settings. This could be accomplished rather easily with the system restore disk that came with the computer. Except that during my last move, the wife thought the computer box would make nice storage for drinking glasses, and promptly emptied the contents of the box. That stuff has not been seen or heard from since. Whenever I describe my computer woes to somebody and they ask why I don't just restore it with the backup disk, I just give the wife a hard stare and shake my head a little, saying nothing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCould Not Find An Directly Related Info
Nov 9, 2009I'm hoping this isn't a repeat of an existing thread - I couldn't find any directly-related info. I have an HP Pavillion running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I thought I had a virus and I ordered the recovery disks from HP. The laptop was working somewhat but sometimes would only run in Safe Mode. The problem seemed to be a failing hard drive. I replaced the hard drive yesterday. The system recognized the drive and the quick test and comprehensive test both passed.
I reinstalled from the recovery CD and it seemed to go through all the steps. At the final self reboot, the screen eventually goes black (lit, but black) with the mouse cursor. I then get a message: Windows could not complete the installation. to install windows on this computer, restart the installation. HP support says it could be the motherboard. Are there any other things I could try before taking in for service? Is there any other way to do a truly 'clean' install?

Partial Aero Glass Reserved For OS Related Windows
Sep 11, 2008For some reason, I have the Aero glass theme enabled on my 64-bit Vista machine, but the theme is only used for a few windows. It seems to be mostly reserved for OS related windows, as opposed to application windows. For instance, even IE7 doesn't show transparency. I find it strange that the Aero glass frame appears to only work partially for me. I would have expected that it would fully work, or not work at all. I'm using Intel's Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100, which came with my system.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUse System Restore To Restore Back To Certain Restore Points?
May 26, 2008Why can't I use system restore to restore back to certain restore points? I was only successful twice with it. When my laptap was new and when I used it after re-formatting my hard drive. On all occassions after those two instances I can never restore back to any restore point. It always says that "unspecified error" line. If Microsoft doesn't know what happend, how could I. Why did they bother putting system restore if it doesn't work all the time anyway. It gives you a false sense of security.

View 6 Replies View RelatedNot Consistent With Any Particular Function
Jan 22, 2010Yes, it locks up. Not sure why I have Vista Home, 32bit. I'm not extremely computer literate, but if you tell me where to find the info I can do that - no problem. I try not to have too many windows open, maybe 3 internet and maybe my email, Word, Excell, and a DB manager.
I can be operating just fine and the computer will lock up and it is not consistent with any particular function, but it is consistent in that it happens all day long every day. My resolution is the Task Manager, but even that can take a minute. I'll be glad to provide more info, I just need to know the questions.
Does Not Seem To Function Properly.
Nov 1, 2009* Use Karmic's kernel, not Jaunty's. * Check that slmodemd is not running if you're seeing a dummy/null sink in the volume control applet. * Install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic (then reboot) if you have a very new computer. * Use a temporary alternate channel mapping for PulseAudio if you have an ice17xx-based sound card. * Configure PulseAudio to ignore your sound driver's misreported dB information if you experience "overdriven" sound. * Attach a verbose PulseAudio runtime log to your PulseAudio bug report. * Attach an ALSA codec dump to your linux bug report if jack sense (e.g., connecting headphones mutes internal laptop speakers) does not seem to function properly.

View 6 Replies View RelatedVista Won't Function With Old Hardware?
Apr 5, 2008We all should give up using computers for a short while and start doing simple things in life, like read some books or some thing.Look what Vista has done to some people and in particular to Frank(The King of all Vista fanboys), he was unable to read my name, his spelling is worse than spell checker( I don't know whether he has one). And look at some of the solutions given by some MVPs,it goes like this:
1.It is not Vista's fault, get help from your hardware manufacturer.
2.This is only a Vista forum go to manufacturer's help desk.
3.You paid for your PC why not spend another X amount and buy new Router.
4.Vista won't function with old hardware.
5.You do not need to know what Vista does, it takes care of your needs and you simply press the buttons and Vista will do everything for you.
I can go on but I do not wish to bore you to death. I very rarely get any constructive help from these MVPs, only one chap from another forum gives proper answers and some brilliant Tutorials. But you all can give it a go with a fantastic system called Ubuntu.
