Unable to install Vista OR XP (SP2)

Any help is appreciated here.
I've been running this Imac for months with dual boot via boot camp and have had no issues. Suddenly, last week, Vista will not boot. Missing file boot/bcd error
Due to my frustration, I figured I'd wipe Vista and reinstall (I use windows for gaming only).
I deleted that partition, created a new one and since have been unable to install Vista OR XP (which I tried as an alternative). I can create a 90 GB partition and Vista begins to install but it sees ONLY my Macintosh HD as a whole and can't see the partition. XP on the other hand can see the partition and installs but very slowly. The installed result is too slow for web browsing in fact.
This tells me that something is going on with the boot sector possibly in the files under bootcamp that allow you do choose the OS at startup.
So I then booted to my OSX install disk and did an install and archive thinking I would get a fresh copy of OSX and clean out any offending files. This proved to be the same result.
Does anyone have any ideas that may help? I would prefer not to wipe the HDD and begin from scratch as that means recreating profiles and importing photos, music and bookmarks for 4 users in the family on Leopard.
Thoughts?

I was able to recreate all the issues using both XP and Vista install discs this evening for tech support.
Next steps after several this evening will be the following:
1. Run the OSX Utilities from the OSX Install disc
2. reformat the entire hard drive (low level format)
3. Clean install of OSX
4. Run all updates
5. Install Vista with Boot camp
If that all works, I'll restore the MacHD from time machine.
If anyone has any other suggestions as well, I'd welcome them!

DW CS3 preview issue after installing Vista SP2

I have DW CS3 installed on my desktop and laptop computers. One computer uses vista64 and the other vista32. After installing vista service pack 2, I now have the following issue previewing PHP pages under Apache: All browsers give me a "cannot display the webpage" error UNLESS I am connected to some kind of network--it could be the internet or my peer-to-peer network. My destop computer is attached to a printer via RJ45 cable. If the printer is turned on, I can preview webpages in DW. If the printer is turned off, I cannot! Or, if I am connected to the internet through my wireless internet card, I can preview pages, otherwise, not.
Previous to installing SP2, I was able to preview pages on both computers without the need to be connected to a network, so I am pretty sure that SP2 is involved in this new issue.
When Apache and MySQL start up in the XAMPP control panel, there are no errors, and I can go into PHPMyAdmin just fine.
Has anyone else run into this? Any thoughts?

I'm just following up here. I have not solved the issue, but I did figure out that the problem isn't with vista service pack 2 but with Kaspersky anti-virus 2009.

No Sound After Installing Vista SP2

I installed with Vista SP2 update yesterday and now I have no sound. It seems to be a driver problem but updating the driver does not fix it. There is a red "x" by the speaker icon on the task bar and the volume buttons on my keyboard dont work.
The Conexant HD audio driver says that it is installed properly but I have no volume.
Microsoft seems to be aware of this problems and has a few fixes out (like http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948481/) but nothing they have published is helping me.
Please help as I really need to have my sound up.

This message can be closed - though, not sure if I am able to do myself. I uninstalled the IDT Codec, did a full shutdown, then started back up, let windows fully load, was prompted for installing of the Codec by Windows, clicked to allow the installation to occur and the codec/driver was successfully installed. I have my sound back! Fantastic!

Satellite L300 (PSLB9A) - No internet access after installing Vista SP2

Just upgraded my Vista with Service Pack 2 and found that I cannot connect to any internet sites, have proved it is SP2 by rstoring to prior SP2 and all is OK, also reloaded the OS with my recovery disks and all works OK...... ....until I load SP2 then when I try to access the internet I cannot, getting "IE cannot display the webpage".
Diagnostics report no problems found. This happens with either IE7 or IE8, firewall is disabled and I can reach any network device including my server but am unable to load the server web page, same issue..
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Sascha
Yes I rolled it back to SP1 last night as I could find no way to fix the problem, I've never seen this before. Anyway all now works OK with SP1, before I rolled back I also rolled back IE8 to IE7 (no change) and removed, one by one the updates post SP2 install (also no change), as soon as I had rolled back to SP1 all worked fine, can get instant internet. I am going to load IE8 tonight and see if that works OK.
As for Skype MSN, no did not try those while SP2 was loaded, should have tried my skype account.
Any thoughts?

Unable to install Vista

I have successfully partitioned my (second) hard drive and have started Boot Camp. The program will not recognize my Windows Vista installation DVD. I checked the disc on my on PC and it works fine. What's wrong?

This may be one of those infernal cases where one optical drive will read a DVD but another won't. The safest way to check would be to take the DVD to yet another computer -- preferably another Mac Pro, perhaps at a local Apple Store? -- and see if it's recognized there. If it is, and it's just your computer's optical drive that can't read it, you could either get a replacement DVD from Microsoft or (if you're under warranty) have Apple look at the optical drive.

Since installing vista sp2 on sites that require popup window will not display but is running when closing out main window firefox is still running, how do I correct this.

Popup blocker is open(all popup should display), I have disabled all plugins. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled 3.6.8. and still have same result.

The orange Firefox menu button is hidden by default on Windows XP.
You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox menu button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-get-firefox-button
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
You can hide or make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars or via Firefox > Options or right-click a toolbar.
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

Further examination showed, that the problem lies in the expired digital signatures
of the MSI-s that clickonce tries to download.
Please see attached image Capture.PNG.
I also reported this bug to the Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/1082242/clickonce-unable-to-install-localdb-2012-on-windows-vista-sp2
The problematic MSI-s shoud be signed again. Can I expect from Microsoft to resolve
this?
Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that this issue only occurs on Windows Vista SP2, and I get that connect you shared and have helped to vote it.
I think that Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously and provide you better support. In addition, you can post the answer here once the issue is resolved.
Best regards,
Carl

No audio / No sound following Vista SP2 install on HP DV4 (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC)

Solution: I struggled with this problem (no audio) for 4 days. After installing Vista SP2, all sound stopped coming from my HP DV4 laptop. (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC). I checked all settings, unloaded and reloaded SP2, reloaded all sound drivers (IDT) and tried the Microsoft "Fix It"... 50131. Nothing worked. Very frustrating. I happen to notice that the driver being loaded by the MS program was IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6209.0. I started to suspect this most recent driver was either loaded with SP2 or was incompatible with it. I noticed the HP Support web-site had a list of drivers specific to my machine. The sound driver was listed as IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6087.0, which appears to be an older version. I downloaded this driver, applied it, restarted the machine and voila!
You can find the codec here:

This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine. Try manually setting the playback device:
Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
Select Playback Devices.
Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
Select Set as default device.
If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access. I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator. You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

Vista SP2 install on T61 fails

I have been trying to install Vista SP2 on a T61 running Vista Business with SP1 installed.
Windows Update says it installed OK but when machine reboots to configure update it fails saying that "some changes could not be completed, reverting changes".
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Thank You
Mick
Solved!

Hi,
For me the reason was different.
Please look at support.microsoft.com/kb/971204/
Especially people with dual boot should read that carefully.
Thanks,

Adobe Reader 9.1 and Vista SP2?

Hi,
I've just got a new Vista laptop and after installing Vista SP2 I'm noticing the following error in the event log every time I use Adobe Reader 9.1.3
Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 9.1.0.163, time stamp 0x49a88f00, faulting module ole32.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e037d7, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000472da, process id 0x16b0, application start time 0x01ca14dc9c5fc7b6.
I've tried uninstalling 9.1 and trying 8.1 and I get the following:
Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 8.1.0.137, time stamp 0x46444e37, faulting module ole32.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e037d7, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000472da, process id 0x1368, application start time 0x01ca147a1856608f.
I can't find any other related errors or DEP warnings to explain what could have happened to both versions, so wondering whether its related to SP2 as I can't find any reference on Adobe.com to Reader 9.1 supporting SP2 only SP1.
Thanks for any advice,
Rob

Do you have UAC turned off?

Vista SP2 x64 completely breaks DTS/DDL decoder

My X-Fi Elite Pro was running the DDL/DTS pack that I purchased just wonderfully until I updated Vista to SP2 x64. After the update, the encoder dissappeared completely from the console launcher. An attempt to re-install the pack throws a coded error message.
$6 license only bought me 3 months of use....money down the drain?
Are we going to get a fix for this soon or have to wait a good long while again for DTS/DDL support?
This does nothing but make me nauseous. Looks like a trip back to the future of SP................................................ ..............................................

After installing Vista sp2, on a system already running sp Vista64, I had to reinstall the Daniel K. driver pack. This fixed me up just fine. I believe the sp2 update may disturb the sound stack in Vista. A removal and reinstall of Dan K.'s Driver pack should fix the issue. I am running this:

Plus the newest Creative Labs driver on top of it all.

Firefox will not open in Vista SP2 after installing software for a Brother MFC printer.

I have 7 computer network. All the machines are running Vista SP2. I recently purchased a Brother MFC 9325cw, and installed the printer/scanner drivers as well as a program called scansoft paperport on each of the machines individually.
I left out the some of the bulkier aspects of the driver package, namely the brother control center because it seems to eat up a lot ram at start up.
Since I have installed the printer driver on my computers, several of them will not open firefox.
I have tried re-installing firefox on one machine so far to no avail.
Next I will try to re-install the brother software. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193).

Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193). I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port. What am I doing wrong?

i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
i run windows 7 home premium
I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
sick of doing this
at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
troubleshooting no better
please help. pulling my hair out at this stage
it was working fine until 2 days ago when i opened itunes it offered to update to 12.1
not working since i clicked yes

I am still unable to install itunes in Windows Vista

I have tried to run Fix it 4 times now after doing other things suggested in the Apple community and I am still unable to install itunes. Do you have any other ideas?
I've been uninstalling/reinstalling and using CCcleaner, sfcscannow and nothing seems to correct error msg 2- corrupt files found/unable to fix. Now what??????
I am using windows Vista. I NEED help!

nothing seems to correct error msg 2
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
