VISTA WINDOWS UPDATES NOT WORKING--SYSTEM MECHANIC
I am having the same problem with my Windows Vista operating system. I am getting the error codes 641 and 80070641 after trying to install Windows Updates. I am using Firefox 13.01 but also have Internet Explorer 9 on my system. I have Service Pack 3 on my system. I tried a fix that worked for Katy and John on the Microsoft Answers blog but it didn't work. when trying to Import the reset.reg file I get an error message that says" Cannot Import Key selected is invalid". I too have System Mechanic on my computer. I have not been able to load 19 updates. I really do not want to have to do a factory system restore. Help!!?? View this thread

Full Upgrades to Windows 8 Only Possible from Windows 7
Posted on [*]Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium PCs will be able for a full upgrade to Windows 8. That means that all applications, data, user accounts and Windows settings will be kept. [*]Users will also be able to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate, whilst keeping all applications, data, user accounts and Windows settings. [*]For those looking to upgrade to Windows 8 Enterprise, only Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise versions will be able to make the move and retain applications, data, user accounts and Windows settings. [*]Windows Vista users however won’t be quite as lucky. If you don’t have SP1 installed you will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 but only your personal files/data will be saved. If you have SP1 installed your system settings along with your data will be carried across in the move. [*]Windows XP users will only be able to upgrade to Windows 8 and keep their personal files/data if they have Service Pack 3 or higher installed. [*]Users won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 8 and keep their Windows settings, files or applications if they are doing a cross-language installation. However there is an additional option that allows you to keep your data if you do the install using Windows 8 Setup [*]For those of you looking to change architecture ie. 32 bit to 64 bit, you won’t be able to do this. You’ll have to completely wipe your hard drive and install Windows 8 from scratch. These upgrade paths are very similar to the ones that were available with Windows 7. However Microsoft did make a greater effort to make the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 as painless as possible since Windows XP had a very large proportion of the market at the time.

Backup and Reinstall windows 7
I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with a 2.1ghz dual core processor. It came with a Windows 7 Ultimate Version. I had immediately made a dell system restore disc. Now i wish to restore my dell laptop to factory settings using these discs. I have about 250 gb of data on this laptop which i don not wish to lose. I have stored all of it in a single folder titled backup. How do i use these discs to restore the windows 7 without losing the data. I do not have enouigh dvds or externa harddrives to copy this data and store it somewhere else. What should i do.? Is there anyway to do a complete system restore using those discs but without affecting the folder titled backup? View the thread

windows vista service pack 1 wont install
I ran a factory recovery for my tx1000 laptop, vista 32bit, I updated and installed all availible updates. The service pack 1 updates and installs, but doesnt reconize in system properties or winver. After installing SP1 i search for new updates but it wont find SP2, I download SP2 from microsoft - it then says SP1 need to be installed. So i download SP1 from Microsoft, but says its already running. Also MSE wont update after installation, i guess because of the SP problem? View this thread

Unable to update and windows installer missing
Windows Installer is missing from the list of services so I am unable to update and get error code 80070641. When I try to download Installer 4.5 I get 'update does not apply to your system' message, whichever version I try to download. Some evidence from trying to research this that Iolo System Mechanic is the problem and has deleted a registry key?? Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom that can help. GS2011B View this thread

starting from orignal startup disk & updating service packs
I had been updating my service packs regularly but last week couldn't start my computer so I decided to start from zero reinstal my original startup disk which is service pack 1 but now I can't update. Microsoft say I must instal either SP1a or SP2 before I can upgrade to SP3. When I try sp1a it timesout, when I try sp2 I get ino a circle on startup. It opens a Bios screen (I think -black with white type) suggesting I start windows normally but it just returns to the same screen(none of the other options work either). The solutions for updating service packs on the microsoft/windows sites don't seem to deal with this and those that do find related to service packs 1and two sites seem to take me in circles one link leads to another and then back to the start. Can you give me a solution please? View this thread

Outlook 2010 - People Icon
when you schedule a meeting in Outlook 2010 it used to have an icon of two people in the calendar so that you knew others had been invited. Is it still possible to show this? Also the meeting entry now shows the organisers name plus the invited attendees name, can this be hidden? One last question when you schedule a meeting say from 3.00 - 3.15 it doesn't show that precisely on the calendar and could be confusing, is there any way round that. Thanks View this thread

How do I backup Win Live E-mail messages and contacts to external drive?
I want to backup all messages and contact addresses to a separate HD or thumb drive for easy restoring to my machine if disaster occurs. I already have a backup setting for other files which backup to a schedule, but in choosing files to backup, it does not appear that I have (or can) selected e-mail for such protection. Am I missing something? Many thanks. -- Allen View the thread
