Have Vista Home Premium SP1 installed on Dell desktop.
Have been playing Live Search Club and have enough points to get Vista Ultimate. I assume this is full version, not upgrade. Can I use this CD to upgrade to Ultimate or would I have to do clean install and then reinstall all programs and data files?
My husband and I just bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite A505-S6965. It comes installed with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (SP1). We tried installing an upgrade of Windows Ultimate using the 64-bit disc. It crashed our hard drive. We took it back to Best Buy and they told us that the computer just had a bad hard drive. They gave us a new computer (exact same model). We went home, tried installing, same thing happened. Called Toshiba. They don't know why it would be doing that. Called Microsoft. They don't know why it would be doing that either.
I've got a serious problem. I decided to do a fresh installation of Vista Ultimate on my $4000 Asus VX2S Lamborghini notebook (which I got after getting a nice pay bonus back in 2007. Details of the Lambo are here: 'Techgage - ASUS Lamborghini VX2' It was very sluggish and took about 5minutes to loadup. It was slow in multitasking and hanged on Windows Media Centre operations. Played games ok tho - but needed a cooler.
Things improved a bit after I deleted some of the Asus bloatware mentioned in the unofficial asus notebook forum FAQ. Stuff like Splendid, TPM, Asus Protect, Asus live update, power4phone etc... But it still seemed a tad slow for a US$4000 machine, esp the startup and multitasking. I mentioned this to my friend a computer guru who advised me to do a format and fresh clean installation. He had a spare moment in the weekend so he formated C drive - including the recovery partition as I did not want the pre-installed Asus software.......................
G'day, the only problem I've been having after playing games is an error message pointing to a file called, GSvr.exe. It's never been a 'real' problem because it doesn't seem to do any harm...it's just annoying. I contacted Gigabyte because I was sure the issue was related to their motherboard. I'm posting this so that others in the same boat have an idea of Gigabyte's official fix.
Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you mentioned, because the GSvr.exe refers to the DESA program, so please try following steps:
(1) Please remove current DESA (Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced) program complete from your system, then download/install the latet DESA program from our website and test again, to download the latest DESA, please CLICK HERE.
(2) If problem still occurs, please update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version and test again. To download the latest F8 BIOS version, please CLICK HERE. And for BIOS update instructions, please CLICK HERE. Please do not forget to load BIOS fail-safe default setting and please also do not try to overclock your system at this moment.
At last, if you still have any further question or suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us. We will try our best to help you resolve the problem ASAP.
Just wondering If anyone happens to have a new gigabyte board and a radeon 2900XT using the new easytune pro version on vistax64
Im getting an error when it starts event log shows Code:

It came with everything supposedly checked to make sure it was running fine. Well, when I first went to boot up, it didn't give me the POST beep, and it went as far as the vista loading bar then a black screen and nothing. I reset it and tried once more and it did the same thing. I turned it off, pulled everything out and reseated it, and it started up and launched into Vista. I thought I had fixed it but once I rebooted again, the same problems occurred.
After doing some reading on the Gigabyte site, it appears it's a common problem with the MB, and all I have to do is update the BIOS and everything will be fine. After I downloaded the correct file from the site, I tried to run the flasher from the desktop and it tells me it's not compatible with a 64 bit OS. I have no idea what to try now, how can I update my MB BIOS if it won't update on a 64 bit OS? I don't have another HD with a 32 bit OS I can install, and I don't have a floppy drive to try and do it from DOS.
And it still will not install the "Audio Device On High Definition Audio Bus, the exclamation mark is still there and the speaker icon in the system tray has got a red cross with "No Audio Output Device is Installed"
I see Windows Sound Schemes, and DreamScene Content Pack 3 now available. Also the Windows Vista Ultimate Language Packs are back after the SP1 upgrade.
I just migrated to 64 bit Vista and I have Windows Mail. When I was using 32 bit Vista I had all my Hotmail folders, newsgroups, calendar, etc. when I selected the Mail icon. Is there a way to migrate Hotmail to Windows Mail, or a way to replace Windows Mail with what I had when I was using 32 bit Vista? I had IE 8 with 32 bit and I have IE 8 with 64 bit.
I have a HP pavilion laptop which came with 64 bit vista ultimate pre-installed. I shrinked the OS partition (160 GB), created new partition (40 GB) for 64 bit windows 7 ultimate. After installation of Windows 7, I cannot see the vista ultimate boot option when I boot my PC. When I boot into Windows 7, I still can see the vista partition. But instead of C: it is now displayed as E: I used the HP Recovery Disc to repair windows vista but I can only see a blank blue screen with the mouse pointer. How can I recover the vista?
A bit of confusion had occured during a repair of windows to fix the "Black Screen of Death (KSOD)" issue. I was told to use a Vista installation disk to repair a Dell laptop, as we no longer have the original disks. There was a question as to which version of windows was already on the hard drive and I chose the wrong one. (Not my fault, Dell gave me the wrong info).
The result was that, apparently, the old Windows (Vista Home Premium) was moved to c:windows.old and the new version (Vista Home Basic) was installed into c:windows. Therefore, all of his applications are no longer available. Is is possible to restore the old windows by booting to a command prompt and renaming the directories? The oringinal installation disks did not use a license key and I fear that, eventually, Genuine Advantage will ask for a license key. This is his only machine and I really want to help the kid out.
Had to reinstal Vista x64 Premium on my computer, and I am having a reoccuring error during installation.-"The computer restarted unexpectedly or has encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click OK to restart your computer and then restart installation." -The computer acctually restarts during the -completing installation- step of installing the 32 bit Vista Premium, there is a second CD that I put in later on to upgrade it to 64 bit. When I got my computer a year ago it came with Vista x64 bit preinstalled and I havn't tweaked any settings like volatge, or anything like that.
Dose any one knows why i can see 4G of Ram in my PC only 3.2 ???they told me you have to install 64 bit so idid! but nothing happens in graphic designer.
I'm running Vista Home Premium with all the latest Windows Updates. I've been reading how Windows Live Mail (WLM) is an advanced version of WM so I finally decided to see if I could download and install it. Below is the link that I used to download WLM. I actually got to that link by Googling WLM and was taken to the site below. My dilemma is that I think I wound up signing up for Windows Live Hotmail so that I really can't tell if I've got WLM or not. Sorry to be so dense. I'm not even sure if these are one in the same. Yikes! Can anyone tell me if the `Mail' program I downloaded ((I had a choice to download other components (like Photo Gallery, etc.)) but only chose WLM). Do I now have is WLM or is it just a hotmail account?
I have windows vista home premium...Security Update for Microsoft. NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack (KB929729)will download, but not install....Rec'ved error codes 80246005 and 643. It downloads over and over for months.....any connection to AOL or Trend Pc-Cillin?...I'm technically challenged, so please reply in step by step solution, if you have one.
I had Vista on an nVidia RAID configuration (with two IDE drives in the array: sda and sdb) and wanted to install Linux, so I got myself a SATA HDD (appears as sdc), installed it, and proceeded to install Ubuntu on that drive. Well, GRUB overwrote my MBR and wouldn't even boot into ANY OS (I kept getting a GRUB stage 1.5 error 21). After trying to fix this problem, I decided to try to get things back to square 1 and start over with the dual boot thing. I erased everything that was on the SATA drive, then I booted into the Windows Recovery Environment last night and tried the "Startup Repair". I sat there thinking for about two hours and said that it couldn't fix anything. Then I brought up the command line and did:
bootrec /fixmbr -> says it completed successfully bootrec /fixboot -> says element not found bootrec /scanos -> finds one windows installation (my Vista installation on the C: drive)
What have I done to my computer? An interesting note: I downloaded and burned SuperGRUB to a CD, and if I boot from this CD I can use the Boot Partition tool to boot into Windows. But this is far from perfect as if I want to boot into Windows I have to go through the CD.
So my question is: Is there any way to repair my Windows installation (namely the MBR), or do I have to do a clean install? From what I understand my HDD configuration is as follows:
hd0 (blank) hd1 (has Windows on it) ---- ---- SATA Drive (sdc) nVidia RAID Array (2 IDE drives: sda and sdb)
Once everything is back to normal, how do I install Ubuntu the 'right' way?
I originally had Windows Vista Home but Business was all he had so that is what I tried using, both 32-bit. I deleted all files thinking I would just be able to install it and get it over with. So now I do not have any operating system installed. Everything works fine up to the point where it restarts and I get to the Completing Installation (Last step) and it will run for a while on that point and the screen will flicker twice and after a moment the computer will lockup and then it will not go any further. The computer I am using is an Acer Aspire 5515.
I have OEM version of windows vista 64 home premium. Installation goes normally but when computer reboots first time it shows an error message. Repair doesnot work, have formatted harddrive and tried to instal it couple of times but it still shows error. Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. File: windowssystem32driversvolsnap.sys status:0xc0000221 Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing, orcorrupt.
My son used Windows easy file transfer to shift data from his internal HDD (PC running Vista) to an external HDD before Windows 7 installation on the internal HDD. Windows 7 installation completed OK. Restoration of data from external HDD with easy file transfer appeared to work OK - but he can't find his emails (everything else is good). We know Windows 7 does not contain OE and plan to use Mozilla. Where should Mozilla look to import the emails - we can't findthem. (full path if possible)? Alternatively, is there a free program that will unwrap the MIG file that is still on the external HDD. I am told that easy file transfer does not allow selective data transfer to a user defined destination folder.
When I tried to install Vista Service Pack 1, it gave me an internal = error. I went to the web link provided there, and done all the necessary = steps except Windows Update. The computer I want to install service pack = 1 onto, is not connected to the internet. So I downloaded the full = service pack,and tried to install it there, but now it seems that it = needs additional updates from Windows Update. Can anyone please provide = me with a list of updates needed on that computer to allow Service Pack = 1 to be installed, and then I could download them manually.
when i installing window vista then creating a problum system is hang on complete installation. but not showing any error massege and rolling back. i try everything as possible i also unplugged my all usb and other external device. but i am unable to install windows vista, can you give me a good solution.
i was loading a new windows biz. unto a frozen windows vista basic machine. i could nt do any back up disc cos it does nt start up. after about 2 hrs of loading files to the computer there comes an error message that the system can't load the files. now am trying 2 get back to my old frozen state but does stop from booting over and over again. i must say that i only chose the option to push the files n stuff to windows.old so i could go catch it in a second moment but now i dont even get the chance to start it up at all.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop which came with Windows Vista. Does anyone know how I can proceed to burn a recovery CD or CDs or DVD in such a way that if my hard drive crashes along with the hidden restore partition it contains then I can purchase a new laptop hard drive, insert it and screw it into place, and then reinstall Vista on it using the recovery CDs or DVD I made from my Sony Vaio?
I have been asked by my company to evaluate Vista Buisness for use in our company. All of our laptops are purchased from HP and as of a few months ago come with Vista OEM licenses so licenses are not a problem. But as soon as we receive a new laptop it is imaged with XP removing the original windows vista installation and recovery partition. So we have no copy of Vista oem. Does anyone know a place I can download Vista OEM, (Note I only want the files don't want a pirate copy) which I can use with our OEM key.
As the Threadtitle says, my new PC just arrived with Vista Ultimate x64, and I want to know if it's possible to create Partitions on my HDD's after the Installation of Windows Vista? Or do I have to reinstall Vista to do it?
I have just been reading previous solutions to this problem and understand it is to do with HP. Unfortunately I do not have a disc to insert as I have changed from XP to Vista and the CD I received with my HP printer is for XP, I therefore downloaded the install of the printer from the HP website for Vista. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this annoying installation window that keeps popping up a million times?
