Windows Vista 64 bit Hp Pavillion Elite e 9180t desktop system restore

I have numerous pages that keep getting stuck on my desktop. I don't know how to get them removed, so I just try to restore my system, but it never is able to complete the task. It says system restore was not able to complete because of an unspecified error.

When running a system restore make sure you have disconnected all externals that did not come with they system. The only things you can have connected are the original monitor, keyboard, and mouse. EVERYTHING else must be disconnected or it can cause the restore to fail.
This is more common when running a recovery but can also cause issues on a restore.

Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

Windows Vista migration to Macbook Pro via paralleled desktop

I am currently using a PC with windows vista business. I am planning to purchase a new macbook pro. Is it possible to migrate a pc running windows vista business to a macbook pro running parallel desktop (with all settings, files and programs intact)

Since Parallels is not an Apple product, you'll most likely want to post your question on the Parallels forums:

Windows Vista/Service Pack 2-after performing a System Recovery my Hard Drive is full.

     I would like to thank you in advance for your patience. I am new to this forum solution method. I will do my best to explain what is happening with my computer without too much unnecessary information.
     My laptop is 2 yrs old and it all these error messages started popping up repeatedly. Windows Defender wouldn't open, system info errors, I/E crashes and so on. After numerous attempts to fix it myself, I asked Microsoft support for the solution.     M/S Tech Support instructed me to perform a System Recovery, through the startup/F-11 method and so I did. I followed all of M/S instructions and to skip the step for making a set of Backup disks, as well as the Recovery Manager's steps to complete the recovery. After all was done I noticed that all my personal files, (pic's, music, etc...), were gone and that my Hard Drive is out of space. I did a Disk Cleanup and defrag on both the C: and D: drives hoping that it would solve my problem. NOT!!! I have been looking through all the "Trouble shooting" support topics on both MS and HP. I have been afraid of doing any of the MANY suggested steps for fear of causing more damage.  The computer, except for the D: drive delima and Windows Defender not opening, seems to function properly, so I look at that as the real blessing in all this.
     Please help me by telling me that there is a way to fix the Hard drive and get Windows Defender to respond. Most importantly, how to go about getting it done. I just don't know how or why this happened.
     Thank you so much for your help. Nice to know that there are web sites and forums like these to go to for help. I look I look forward to your response.

This excerpt taken from HP manual for your computer.
On some models, you can perform a recovery from the partition on the hard drive from either the Start
button or f11. This restores the computer to it's factory condition.
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:
1. Access Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:
● Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager.
– or –
● Restart the computer and press f11 while the “Press <F11> for recovery” message is displayed
on the screen. Then select Recovery Manager.
Recovery Manager opens.
2. Click Advanced Options.
3. Click System recovery, and then click Next.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions
Does this sound like what you did?
Oh yeah, Your D:\ drive is your Recovery partition and you should never mess with it.
It contains all the information to restore your computer to factory condition.

HT1926 After I installed Quicktime Pro, on Windows Vista am not able to open from desktop.

After downloading Quicktime Pro I can't open it from Quicktime at all.

There isn't a QuickTime Pro download.
Only the free QuickTime Player can be downloaded. You can then enable the Pro features after you purchase the registration.

Windows Vista Problems (Possibly not the Operating System)

Running Release version of Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS 410 Desktop System. Running the newest version of iTunes 7.0.2 and i am having a problem when playing a song parts of the song will be garbled up and distorted. I have tried all the volume controls and this does not help. It doesnt matter what song, type of song, etc that i play it just seems to happen where the song will be playing and during the play parts of the song, not the same parts but different parts, will sound distorted.
Please advise on anything i can try and get rid of this problem. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.

apple says don't upgrade to vista because itunes doesn't work well with it yet.
If that ain't the tail trying to wag the dog i've never seen it.
Note to apple: as popular as your ipod is you don't carry that kind of weight.
You had plenty of time to get your house in order for vista. Times up. We ain't waiting

1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
My library is large at 3000 items.
Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

Help and Thanks

Hello BRDGDD,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues using your Blu-Ray Player on your HP Pavilion Elite e9140f running Windows Vista. I am going to approach this from a couple different directions.
First, we are going to try to put back the original drivers that came with your computer using the HP Support document: Performing a Software Application or Driver Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you though using the HP Recovery Manager to restore the original drivers on your computer.
Second, if you are still not able to use the Blu-Ray Player we are going to try using the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista), which we will use to roll your system back to a point in time where your Blu-Ray player worked. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications you have installed between now and the date you choose and any settings you have changed during the same time. These will have to be re-installed and/or re-changed.
Lastly, if you are still not able to install the software or are still not able to use your Blu-Ray Player I am going to suggest you back up any personal files, bookmarks and such to a USB drive or something and then follow the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista), which will walk you through recoverying your computer back to factory settings.
***NOTE: Be warned you will loose everything so ensure you backup what you want to keep!
If none of the above work and your still having issues it appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.

Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.

Gameport support pack for Windows Vista 32-bit - By Daniel Kawakami

My wife installed the driver on her Windows 7 SP1 x64 machine and the game port on her Audigy 2 ZS is working fine as he said it would but she also tried to install the "install.inf" file and it's all screwed up and does not work. She did not realize it was for Vista x86. How can I uninstall everything that was installed with that install.inf file?
Thanks,
dev

If she just installed via manual driver installation you can roll back to previus driver in same window from device manager. Else you might check system restore points. If she used regular setups (too) uninstall from software, maybe uninstall drivers from device manager, run reg cleaner tools and drivercleaner/driver sweaper and install everythign from beginning.

IPod and Windows Vista

Hi,
if i connect my iPod to my Windows Vista PC teh CPU usage goes up to 100%. The process svchost take nearly all the processortime.
iTunes and iPod are up to date.
I getting mad about that. With Win XP i don not have these probs.
Any ideas about that ?
Greetings Admiral

I take it that you're a developer.
It is likely that your iPod may not work with Windows Vista (hasn't it still not been properly been released?) - anyway, Try the Microsoft Forums aswell.
hmmmmm
You don't really need a driver to use a driver to get a Windows XP computer to work with an iPod. Same goes probably for the Windows Vista.
So, try getting the iPod Updater.
Restore & Update your iPod, then try it with iTunes.
Has your iPod been used with any other operating systems? e.g. Windows XP??? or is it just Windows Vista?

Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment. I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Sap b1 setup failed on Windows Vista -Home edition

Hi experts,
I installed SQL-2005 on windows vista home edition and also installed SAP B1-2007B-PL09 but it shows error connection with License server failed and SAP B1 service manager-License Manager 2007 are also disable .so my question is it SAP b1 support Windows vista-home edition.pl suggest me solution.
Regards,
Sudhir pawar

Sudhir,
Windows Vista home edition is not a supported Operating system.
That being said, the reason that your license manager is not enabled is more than likely not due to this fact.
Close the server tools, and relaunch but this time right-click and 'run as administrator' this should enable all the options and allow the license server to start.
You may also want to view the system requirements PDF available in the SAP B1 document resource center, this should give you some insight into supported platforms.
I hope this helps,
Lucas

Help! WRT54GL with Windows Vista Basic laptop and Windows XP Home desktop?

Hi. I am going to try and help a friend out and I was wondering if any of you can give me any helpful tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's the situation...
He recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop that's running Windows Vista Basic. He has a Dell desktop computer at home as well that's running Windows XP. I had him purchase a Linksys WRT54GL router. We want to network the laptop running Windows Vista Basic and the desktop running Windows XP. Is there anything we should be aware of? Anything to know before hand that will help the process go smoother? Will I face any issues being that his new laptop is running Windows Vista Basic and his desktop is running Windows XP? I must admit that I know very little to nothing about Windows Vista. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

No not very much ... if you are using wired connection then make sure that the IP address on Local Area Connection should be 192.168.1.X ...... try to ping the Gateway address 192.168.1.1 ..... then 4.2.2.2 & at last yahoo.com....
If you are using wireless connection .... then make sure that the wireless network name should be same as in the router ......
