The problem I have is vista downloaded some updates and now it is in a loop that says "configuring updates: 3 0f 3 = % complete Do Not turn off your computer" all this does is keep looping with the same message. Then it will say shutting down and do that but when it restarts It has the same message comes up again and again in a loop that won't stop.

Using a dell laptop with a wireless router and the computer keeps rebooting

 
By: Hanady Awada
3 September 2009

Problem/solution:

My computer will not start. It does a Start Up Repair and when completed it says it will try to start. It restarts then goes directly to shut down and does a System Configuration after which it tries to restart again. This has been going on for several hours now. I'm not sure if I have windows Vista or XP.

When startup repair completed I checked the diagnosis and repair details

It says:

Boot critical file c:\ntoskml.exe is corrupt

Repair Action: File Repair

Repair Action: System Restore

Result: Competed succesfully

But then when the computer restarts it goes directly to system configuration and then shuts down.

Help!

Problem/solution:

I am currently running Vista Home edition (1) Can no longer open Windows media player - double click and nothings happens. (2) Cannot get icons to show up on two anti-virus product's windows. Just the title bar shows up. I can run Adware virus program. Both problems (1) and (2) seemed to start at the same time. (3) The last update corrupts Windows. After it installs I get a message saying that I have an illegal version of windows. I had to do a restore but I am still getting the icon asking me to update. I am ready to go to a Mac.

Problem/solution:

There are multiple symptoms. First, In the Contol Panel under "System," Processor and Memory (RAM) say "Not Available." Rating says "System rating is not available." Second, I can't open my Device manager at all, even from the command prompt. Actually I can't open a lot of things in the Control panel. I am not prompted for a password; I am logged in as administrator. I rarely use this laptop as it's my backup. I discovered all this when I went wireless at home.

The sound is terrible when I play a Netflix movie.  Way too quiet!  I turn up volume in 2 places but still hard to hear.

I hate my new Vista.  Seems that programmers were showing off or just trying to improve things, but it's way too hard.

I'm not a computer person so I do not understand technical language.

I put my computer to SLEEP.

Later (30 sec to several minutes), the computer wakes-up. Nobody has touched anything, it just turns on. This occurs about 75% of the time it is put to sleep.

This happens on my laptop also, but only about 30% of the time.

Suddenly Vista doesn't show personalized movie icons anymore, I don't know what could have been the reason. As far as I know I didn't change a thing. Before every movie I had, had a picture of a scene as icon, that way it was easy to recognize the movie without looking at the title. I really want that back but I don't find the solution. I already reinstalled my VLC-player.

I just bought a new laptop with Vista (I hate it)

I have bought a used hp pavilion desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium.  The content advisor will not allow me to get to sites I once visited like facebook, myspace, ebay, Amazon.com, Windows sites, hp sights, Aol, Google, etc. Is there anyway to get rid of this horrible content advisor control. I might as well try to take the thing back.

Hope I am not the only person who has experienced this problem as I have been using computers since the late 70's and now feel like an absolute fool. Thanks.  Hope this message is not blocked.

Running vista 64 bit premium home edition with sp1 on a gateway gt5692 pc, I have a 500gb hd and multiple other items that I don't think pertain to my problem . The problem is that I have downloaded and viewed and I thought I deleted many movies in the past year and for some reason ,although I delete the movies , the hard drive space just keeps on diminishing to the point where I currently have only 4.6 gb of physical hard drive space available out of about 465 gb of original usable space. I need to clean it out but not sure how to go about doing so or where to even look to correct this problem without formatting the drive and starting over . That is not really an option since I have many other smaller files which I really don't want to lose . If anyone can help me , please let me know soon thanks

Computer:I use a HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx Entertainment Notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium Operating System...6.0.6001 Service Pack I.

PROBLEM: When typing emails or word documents, the cursor jumps frequently all over the place (front, back, middle)randomly and types over or adds to previously typed words, numbers, etc. Some times it jumps to a word and highlights it and then removes it and begins the new word being typed. Very frustrating. This paragraph tutaking me 15 min. to write! Any solution for me? Thanks.

Problem/solution:

When I try to use the browse button to upload photos to my newsletter, nothing happens. The browse button doesn't do anything. Once in a while, this function works,but it's totally unpredictable and very frustrating.

Also, none of the software (HP and others) which I've installed to manage my photos works properly. I can no longer email a photo or "work" with many of my photos--especially the ones downloaded from CD to PC. Is this related to VISTA? I never had the problem with XP.

Thank you.

Problem/solution:

I have a HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-One Printer. Model C6180. I can't scan from the Printer to the computer.

I tried to Scan using Paint. (Programs, and then click Accessories, Click Paint, Click File, and then click From Scanner or Camera, click Scan.) This does not work because when I scroll down to scanner or camera is is not highlighted. When I try to add the printer it is not listed.

The disks that came with the printer do not fit into my computer. Do you have any ideas besides uninstalling all

HP related software, and than installing printer?

 

Thank-You

Tina

Now when I try to access the backed up files windows tells me the disk containing the backup is not accessible. However, I can get to the drive through My computer and I can copy other files off the drive, it just does not recognize the backup.

Problem/solution:

I have a problem with Vista because of how it spits the dummy with some games particulary if they are older games that run under XP.

With one of these Codename Panzers one and two I was actually able to play for several missions before it started to spit the dummy which I find perplexing??? Even the Vista version of Panzers Cold War has shut the game down on me at random times with no rhyme or reason. Other games with the same problems are T34 Vs Tiger where on the last German mission I suffer from repetitive game shutdowns??? It allowed me to finish all the Soviet missions. Sniper Art of Victory is another game that has given me grief.

Can someone tell me why Microsoft seems unable to bring out Software that is not trouble free.

Problem/solution:

I don't know if this problem is exclusive to vista but I didn't have it on my old laptop which was running xp. When typing my cursor/ entry point relocates itself periodically and therefore because I am looking down at the keys, I don't notice that I am typing words into a sentance I typed in previously. Sometimes ( I think this is when capitalizing ) it will highlight a string of words ( usually what I most recently typed ) and the very next key stroke deletes everything that was highlighted and replaces it with that one single keystroke. This happens very often and is driving me freaking nuts. Am I the only person having this issue or are there others out there that are ready to do bodily harm to some geek in the state of Washington?

Problem/solution:

hello everybody,

2 days back i installed vista(700mb) on my laptop. I use some voice services(actionvoip,smartvoip,nonoh)to make long distance calls. My problem is that when i try to type the phone nos. in the required field to make a call, then the nos. are not typed there.No action is taken by the keyboard in the required field. I have to copy-paste the nos. then only i can use it. This problem was not there with my previous vista ultimate version. But, the same doesn't happen if i type something in the browser just in case of these voip softwares only. May be i think there is some file missing(e.g. dll etc.). I tried by downloading the latest flash player as well as Flash6.ocx file, but it didn't work. I am really worried about this. Please anyone help me in this regard. One more thing that is it ok to use this version (700mb) cut by vlite? yesterday i got a little system crash due to which there was booting problem. But i repaired it. Now its ok.

the drive or network connection that the link is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again.

I tested my network connection, I reinserted the DVD, I rebooted. Nothing. Can you help? Or is something just messed up with my DVD drive?

I have just made some DVD's using Windows DVD Maker (Windows Vista on my computer). After making several DVD's I wanted to save them to my Hard Drive and play from there. Could not Save them but I did manage to copy & paste. Then 2 of DVD's would not play from my Hard Drive. These both had the (&) (and sign) in there names on my Hard Drive.  Example of name "Sailing & Halls Harbour". After many HOURS of Trial & Error I finally have these working. The only thing that I can think of is I had to remove/delete the (&) and sign!!!! Could this really have been the problem all along?
