Vista and wireless connection

I brought my parents' old PC back to their new house from their old one where it's been sitting for 13 years. I hooked it up and it's working fine but with a wireless wifi adaptor, I cannot get it to connect to the internet. I've installed the adaptor and software. The adaptor is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 as well as with Vista OS. It says it is connected but with "limited connectivity." No web pages will open so it is not connected. Thanks for any suggestions. Continue reading...

Boot critical file d:\windows\system32\drivers\partmgr.sys is corrupt
by Guest Ferdinand Goldworthy- 0 replies

So basically, it started in a startup repair and runs for a long time, then this message (the title of this post) appears in the diagnostics and repair details. My condition is, i dont have the disk installation for my windows vista so i cant repair using it; then for some unexplainable reason, there are no system restore points that i could even use to restore the system (though there should be at least 1 there). Also, even i restarted my laptop a lot of times, it always stuck at repair mode, and its startup repair cant fix the problem.Any help?I wish there is another way to replace the corru Continue reading...

My Outlook emails have been working great for many years. I changed my password and now cannot get Outlook to send emails. The error message specifies 'Outlook data file cannot be accessed'. So, I follow instructions to view the data files. On the E-mail Accounts, tab called E-mail, i see my email address and a comment about which data file new messages are being delivered. When i go to the Data Files tab, i cannot change the default because it is grey out. I need to fix this email setting somehow. Continue reading...

No Wireless Network Adaptor installed of Configured - HELP!

If ANYONE knows how to fix this, it would be awesome.I was online the other night, computer is having cooling issues, and got the BSOD, and it stated a crash dump was in progress. I switched it off, as I have done before, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. After switching the computer back on, I noticed that my normally blue WI-FI light on my HP DV6000 which has Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit) installed, was not turning blue, and that the light remained orange. I had the red X through the wireless connection icon, and when I clicked on it, it read : No Wireless Network adaptor installed o Continue reading...

Transferring emails from Windows Vista Mail into Outlook 2003 on new computer
by Guest Miranda Whitfoot- 0 replies
- 339 views
Probably an unusual question but would appreciate help with it.My Windows Vista laptop hard drive has been diagnosed as all but dead and there is a particular email folder that I would like to preserve in its entirety for future reference. I'd like to export it from Vista to a USB stick then into Outlook 2003 which I have successfully installed on a new Windows 10 laptop (because I like the format). I am finding that emails saved onto the USB drive (and this is taking a while because the computer keeps freezing) are in random order and with no identifiable name so I can't tell which Continue reading...

The drive itself on my Windows Vista 32-bit computer works. I have Service Pack 2 installed, if that helps to know. I can install and utilize media discs. The error message I get is "Please insert a disc into drive D:" and then it gets ejected.I read another, similar problem on this forum with bogus advice that says to hit the Windows key + C to get some kind of Charms bar, etc., but doing so doesn't actually do a single thing on my #$%^@%# computer.I need an actual solution for this irritating problem because this is pure *%^$#@!, to say the least.

Updates were not configured correctly, reverting changes
by Guest Francis J E Mudrak- 0 replies

Hi.I watched a YouTube tutorial on how to get automatic updates working on older Windows versions, and I reinstalled Vista on my Compaq Presario laptop to test this. The tutorial lets older versions have automatic updates by connecting to a third-party WSUS server and getting the files from there. Because of this, I was able to install Service Packs 1 and 2, the Ultimate Extras, and some other security updates.After installing the .NET Framework 4.6, which went fine, I checked for updates again. This time, it finds some updates, and says I must restart for the changes to take effect. When I do Continue reading...

How to upgrade Vista without deleting software.
by Guest Paweł Niejadlik- 0 replies
- 310 views
Hi all,I still got Windows Vista. It is OK. However internet browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera) started to have problems with some webpages. It requires update. There's no update of Chrome (as well as IE, Edge, Firefox, Opera, et. c.) without upgrading Windows. As far as I know. I don't want to upgrade Windows, because I have got hundreds of licensed software and VST plugins. These all would require either paying for again or installing again. And there's bulk lots of it. Some versions of software downgraded comparing to newest versions and got worse, so I prefer older versions - the ones th Continue reading...
