No worries. Yes, you can perform an install of Vista with the DVDs that you have. You can reformat the hard disk as part of the installation.
Before you begin, go into the Device Manager to see which wireless adapter, graphics adapter and lan adapter is installed and write it down. Doing that will save you some time.
You will need the following DVDs from what you have stated the notebook was delivered with..
Operating System DVD Windows Vista Business SP1 (64-it)
Application and Driver Recovery DVD 32-bit & 64-bit for Windows Vista
Write down the twenty five character license activation key before you begin. Enter it when requested to by the Windows installation script. After the installation is complete use the driver disk to install the drivers. If HP Support Assistant is available on the driver and application disk, install that also.

Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support - Qosmio G30?

Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support?

Everybody claiming that Vista x64 (or Ultimate) can't be used with FN keys or Flash Cards is utterly wrong!
I have a Qosmio G30 running Vista x64 Ultimate, and have both FN keys, Toshiba Flash Cards and (partly) the hardware buttons at the top working.
After a lot of research, I found that Toshiba has released a 64-bit version of VAP called util_tvap_27581D. If you google it, you might discover it...

Can't HotSync my Tungsten E2 with my Windows Vista 64 Bit System and I'm Upset!!!!!

By no choice of my own we were dealt the unfortunate hand of having to replace our last computer it died and to fix it was too much so against my better judgement we had to get an HP with Windows Vista 64 bit on it and there's a bunch of things that wont work with it and my Palm Tungsten E2 is one of those things that wont work.
I have looked on here before I asked what to do and I've seen something about syncing by bluetooth? I'm not computer literate so you'll have to speak to me in terms I can understand. I'm not an idiot but not computer savy.
I know what a blue tooth is but here's where I'll sound "stupid" is it the same type of bluetooth as you'd use for your phone?
I'd really like to get this backed up on our computer because I have alot of info on it and I'm lost without it and I'm tinkled off that now I can't use it.
Help if you can.
Thanks,
Michelle
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi Michelle, "BlueTooth" is not something you hold in your hand - it's a wireless radio network used for short-range data transfer. Much like "FM" or "AM" radios. There are dozens of devices nowadays that have BlueTooth built into them - GPS units, laptops, phones, PDA's, cars, etc. (And yes, the little earpiece that people love to show off more often than necessary uses BlueTooth!)
Your option is to add BlueTooth capability to your laptop by purchasing a tiny "dongle". (A dongle is a generic term for any little USB device that protrudes from your computer.)
There are several ongoing threads about syncing to 'Vista 64 via BlueTooth in this section of the forum. The key to success in purchasing a BlueTooth dongle is verifying that the dongle does support Vista64...

I'm running windows vista 32 bit and the dep shuts down my itunes

I'm running windows vista 32 bit and windows DEP shuts my itunes down as soon as it begins to load. Help?

"the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cds...."
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

I can't connect my Windows Vista 64 bit to Time Capsule and Internet

I have just start using a MacBook Air and a wireless network with a Time Machine! I used to have just PC with a simple home network. I get total successful in use the Time Machine and 2 other notebooks with windows XP, but I cannot connect a HP PC with Windows Vista 64 bit, neither to the Time Capsule nor to the internet. These computer are working perfect because I can connect to others Wi-Fi networks with no problems, seems that something is blocking! When I try to access the Time Capsule I get an answer that I should enable the NetBIOS, but I have already checked and it is working properly! When I ask to diagnose the network problem I get an answer that I should re-start my modem and internet connection, which I have done with no success!
I appreciate for some additional information! Thanks

I had the exact same error message but it was on an Airport Extreme Base Station. I use a Macbook at my office and there are 2 XP desktops as well and we were using a shared storage hooked into the AEBS in order to share files. One day all of a sudden the XP machines starting displaying the same error message that NetBIOS should be enabled.
After googling every available article I discovered what ultimately solved our issue.
I opened the the Airport Utility app on my Macbook I clicked on "Manual Setup"
Then "Disks"
Then "File Sharing"
I discovered that the default name under "Workgroup" was Workgroup, but our network in the office is called "MSHome" so I changed it to match the PCs and instantly both PCs connected to the shared storage.
Also I changed the 2.4Ghz channel to a number other than the default 11.
I changed the name of the base station to a name less than 8 characters with no spaces and no symbols.
I changed the Wireless Security to "WPA/WPA 2 Personal".
I've been trying to add my fix to other Apple Support pages and they're all archived and closed to replies, so if you haven't gotten your TC to work, maybe this might help.

Windows Vista 64-bit - ITunes died and won't reinstall

Last night my wife let her laptop battery run dry with itunes 10 open. We had just installed it a week or so ago, and had not updated from the online download version.
Anyhow, afterward, when I tried to open iTunes, MS would pop up with a message that the program failed to open properly. The laptop is Windows Vista 64-bit with the 64-bit software.
I uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, and tried again. Seemed to install correctly, but still got the crash when attempting to open.
Tried QuickTime, it also will no longer open. Uninstalled both, and no when I try to install iTunes, it goes through the gathering information process of the install, but then pops up with a window saying the installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
I downloaded Windows Install Utility v. 3, but it shows iTunes and QuickTime completely removed (at least no entries were in their to remove).
I also redownloaded the iTunes .exe, with the same results. Even tried the 32-bit, heh, which obviously didn't work, but worth a shot I suppose.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
I did a backup of the registry and went through and hard delete most of the iTunes entries, with no success, so I just restored the registry to the original since I wasnt 100% sure that I should be doing that.

Below are the two most recent problem reports for each of the three programs. No other programs had any recent problem reports. One interesting thing, from the time stamps, there are no crash reports from the last few iTunes install attempts which were giving the message from above and the latest attempt where it just flickers then doesn't do anything else.

Windows Vista 64 bit and bios update how? K9A2

OK Is there anyway to really update my bios so I can use my Phenom II if I'm running Vista 64? Ive read the live update info and I'm not sure that works with the 64 bit vista. The i read about the flash drive bios update and I'm not sure that's 64 bit compatible. As a side note why don't they have liveupdate 64bit compatible yet? Its been out for some time and windows 7 will be 64 bit only I would think.

The flash drive bios update is not depending on the operating system.

Sadly MSI hasn't yet supplied us with a 64-bit version of LiveUpdate.
Personally I've been using AMI's Windows Flash Utility AFUWIN.exe several times. Works flawlessly even when running Vista x64.

Windows Vista 64 bit and HP 2840 Color LaserJet All-In-One - Workaround

Although HP has not provided a workable solution for a use of a HP 2840 Color LaserJet All-In-One with Windows Vista 64 bit, I did manage to get it to work. The solution is a bit convoluted and may not work for all users but here’s how I did it. I'm running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Not sure how other Vista versions may behave.
I tried many different solutions that did not work. Attempting to install many different versions of the HP 2840 software in different compatibility modes ended up rendering my other HP 4385 All-In-One inoperative. I deleted every piece of HP software and hardware from my system and reinstalling the HP 4385 software. Still couldn’t get my 4385 working again. I finally ended up restoring my system to restore point prior to attempting to install the HP 2840. All this to say that if you’ve made several attempts to get it working you may need to back up and punt with a restore.
Make sure your HP 2840 is NOT connected.
Press the “Scan” button on the 2840 (The control panel on the 2840 should say ‘Waiting on PC”).
Plug the HP 2840 in via a USB cable. A “New hardware” message should pop up on the PC.
Minimize this window. DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO INSTALL DRIVERS. Just ignore this message for the moment.
In Windows, go to CONTROL PANEL/SCANNERS AND CAMERAS. Hopefully you’ll see a “HP 2840 LaserJet Scanner”. If not, the rest will probably not work.
Now hit the "Windows Start" button. Select "Programs" or "All Programs" (depending on your setup configuration). Open "Windows Fax Scan". It should connect to the 2840 Scanner. Experiment with the scanner and select flatbed and feeder input to make sure it functions properly. Once satisfied that the scanner is working properly you can configure the printer.
On the “New Hardware Detected” window that you minimized in step 4, select “Do Not Ask Me Again For This Hardware”.
Connect the 2840 to your network via a CAT cable.
On your PC press the "Windows Start" button and select “Settings and Printers”.
Select “Add a Printer”.
Select “Add a Network Printer”.
Windows will scan your network searching for printers. It should find your 2840.
Select “Next” (It is not necessary to let the search complete once your 2840 has been identified).
From the dropdown list, select ‘HP” and “HP Universal Printing PCL 6". It was the last one in the list for me.
Print a test page
You should now have a HP 2840 network printer and a local 2840 scanner.
O course the drawback is that you can only scan to the PC where the 2840 scanner is attached via the USB cable. You can print from any PC on your network by following steps 9 through 15 on each network PC.
Another little tidbit I ran into; selecting any other driver besides the “HP Universal Printing PCL 6" driver cause my Microsoft Office 2007 to crash any time I selected the "Save As" option. I found some links on the Internet that indicate this is a known problem. It may not affect you but you might want to play it safe.
Hope this helps someone.

Uninstall the HP software using the uninistaller in the HP folder.
Restart your PC.

FireFox 4 and earlier versions will not install on my Windows Vista, 64 bit computer. The file downloads and the file extracts but I never make it to the installation wizard.

I have tried to download FireFox 4 and earlier versions from several different website, thinking the files might have gotten corrupted, and each time I download the file the exact same thing happens, the file downloads and the file gets extracted but when the extraction completes the small window dissappears and nothing else happens.
My machine is a Windows Vista 64 bit system and I've tried downloading the file with my 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me please because I would love to be able to completely delete I.E.

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
See if that helps. Let me know.
Thanks,

Just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit and its not working at all.

So I just downloaded Firefox 4 on Windows Vista 32-bit, and it's not working at all. I open up Firefox and there is not tab bar, and all the command buttons are repeated 3 times, and are on 3 different bars. This only happens with Firefox 4 and not Firefox 3.6.10. Also, when I go the menu bar and I try to click soething, nothing happens. I'm not sure why this is going on. Help anyone? Here is a link to a screenshot of my browser.
http://img683.imageshack.us/i/firefox4y.jpg/

I have this too, but doesn't even startup now? I downgraded to the previous version and all is OK. I also have a 64 bit version of Vista and it seems to work "a-OK" on that machine.
Seems to me to be 32-bit issue.
Editing this post:
I just seen a possible answer...Do you have roboform installed (in the taskbar also)? If so, try disabling it or removing it and try to start again. I said above that I have 2 units and on the one (32-bit) I have Roboform installed and it crashes, but on the other one I don't...so go figure.
According to the report I read, if you upgrade Roboform it should be OK, although I have not tested as of yet...I am still at work...
Hope that helps...

For the last 3 or 4 versions of iTunes, and continuing in 11.05, the site recognizes that I have a 64 bit OS (Windows Vista) and downloads the 64 bit version of setup.

For the last 3 or 4 versions of iTunes, and continuing in 11.05, the site recognizes that I have a 64 bit OS (Windows Vista) and downloads the 64 bit version of setup. Setup installs iTunes in the 32 bit application directory (Program Files x86) - it's not all that unusual to run a 32 bit app under a 64 bit OS - BUT whenever I connect any of my iPhones, I get an error message that say I cannot use the iPhone because the 64 bit version of iTunes is not installed. The message then tells me to de-install iTunes and to install the 64 bit version.
Like I say, the 64 bit Setup version is selected for me, and it runs error-free, but I seem to have no control or ability to force the installation of a 64 bit iTunes app. And all the iPhones are inoperative with the 32 bit version I have. I have another PC, which I have held at an earlier iTunes release. Although it's a notebook, it's identical in every other way (OS & installed utilities and apps) to the desktop that has developed the problem, and my iPhones work fine with it, although iTunes on it is at the earlier release, and I have no intention of upgrading that version until I understand and have corrected the problem.
Any ideas or suggustions?
Thanks.

This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.
That usually indicates that your Apple Mobile Device Support has not installed. That's also what is being shown by the diagnostics (the driver is there but the application isn't).
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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/
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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Lightroom 5 and Windows Vista 72 bit O.S.

I purchased and downloaded Adobe Lightroom 5. During its installation, I learned that it is not compatable with my Windows Vista 72 bit operating system. The product package indicated "Microsoft Windows XP not supported." No mention was made regarding Vista. It is a fair assumption that Vista would suffice, since it is later than the operating system mentioned. Is there a work-around for this? If not, what will Adobe do to resolve this dilemma? I would be satisfied to exchange for Lightroom 4.
