After a new thing appears, there must be many problems. The official release of Windows Vista operating system, due to its high-end hardware requirements, the system itself and software support, let us encounter some troubles in the use process. Today, we will tell you about the common faults of Windows Vista operating system. As a series, we have told you some related contents in the column before "The Secret". Com operating system.
Disk character confusion fault in Win Vista
The confusion of drive letters is an old problem in Windows operating system. Microsoft's Windows installation CD always confirms the drive letter of the hard disk partition according to its own program, but this time Vista is more overbearing. When installing from the CD, the drive letter of the partition where the installation is located is forcibly changed to C. The following other drive letters are also arranged according to previous Microsoft Windows installation conventions.
Vista's drive letter is out of order, so we need to adjust and reinstall it. The method is to restore the chaotic drive letter to its previous appearance in Vista, for example, it should be restored to: c:-> z:-& gt； f:，D:-& gt； C: Then restart Vista. Of course, when re-entering, because the drive letter has been restored, many errors will be prompted, and neither the browser nor the computer can browse. At this point, you can only use the Win+R shortcut key to start the run box to confirm that the drive letter has been restored to its original normal state.
Then directly enter the Setup.exe under your Vista installation CD (or virtual cd with ISO installed in Vista) in the Run box of the existing Vista. For example, if your CD-ROM drive letter is x:, please put in the installation CD and enter X:\Setup.exe in Run to run the Vista installation. When upgrading directly in Vista with normal drive letters or completely customizing the installation, because the drive letters are all normal, the installation program in the installation CD will no longer be misoperated and unauthorized.
Of course, if some hardware is not standard and incompatible, it may be impossible to upgrade and install, then install it completely. Setup will automatically back up the old Vista to the Windows.old directory, but you must install it under the existing Vista, otherwise the drive letter will still be confused when you start the installation from the CD-ROM drive. Because the drive letter in your existing Vista has been adjusted, when you do an upgrade or a new installation under it, the installer will only refer to the original correct drive letter, but it is enough. Even if it is installed twice, the drive letter is correct, but it is still a big problem to install the disc recognition partition drive letter.
For example, if your system is broken, you need to use the Vista installation CD to repair it. Vista installation CD will still be very good at mistaking the drive letter for the home page when the system is restored, just as the drive letter is confused when the CD is installed.
Two Vista and XP startup prompt menus failed.
Due to the immaturity of Windows Vista operating system in some aspects, many netizens now use the dual system of Windows XP and Windows Vista, but the common problem when using the dual system is that the startup menu fails. What should I do if I encounter this problem? It's actually very easy to solve. Look at the methods we offer you below, which will definitely help you solve this problem.
The solution is as follows:
1 Use the daemon tool to load the Vista CD image.
2 Open the operation (start operation) and enter cmd.
3 Enter X: (X stands for your virtual CD-ROM drive letter)
4 input cd boot
5 Enter bootsect /nt60 SYS (enter bootsect /nt52 SYS if you want to delete it).
After the restart, the startup manager of Window Vista has been restored.
Vista cannot eject the USB removable storage device.
In fact, whether it is windows Vista system or other windows systems, USB mobile storage settings will not pop up. The main reason for this failure is that the files on the USB mobile storage device are being accessed by other programs, and some applications will still exist in the system process after being closed, so it is possible or not to safely delete the hardware. At this point, you need to log off the system again, and then click Security to delete the hardware.
Four Vista motherboard drivers are missing.
The solution to this fault is also very simple, and the specific steps are as follows:
(1) Restart the computer.
(2) When the manufacturer BIOS appears, press F8, remember to grasp the time! Otherwise, it will be restarted.
(3) After entering the safe mode, you can do whatever you have to do.
5. When running the game in Vista, XXX.dll is prompted to make an error.
Is Vista really so incompatible with games? In fact, the main reason for this problem is the error when the game runs the dynamic link library. The solution is simple: mainly copy the lost XXX.dll file to the directory where the system partition is located, such as: X:\Windows\System32\.
If the file cannot be found, you can also copy the corresponding dynamic link library file to the X:\Windows\System32\ directory in the installation CD/file.
Six desktop icons disappear.
The solution is as follows:
I believe that people who don't know how to solve it don't know how to set it, but when they are not familiar with vista, they don't know where to set it. The following steps are introduced: 1. Right-click the desktop to change the desktop icon.
2 Select the icon to be placed on the desktop in the Desktop Icon Settings dialog box. You can also modify your own personality icon here.
What if Windows Vista doesn't recognize new hardware?
Vista cannot recognize the new hardware. It is very likely that the driver saved in your Windows system was deleted by you.
You may have seen some Vista slimming tutorials at Vista House, or used the slimming masters at Vista House. You ignored the warning and deleted the driver backup.
Driver backups are generally stored in the folder C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Driver Store, which generally takes up 0.5-2GB of space.
The solution is to insert Windows Vista DVD when inserting new hardware.
Windows Vista can't start.
The startup menu of Windows XP and Vista was mentioned earlier. Now let's talk about Windows Vista separately.
Failure to start is a common and serious failure. Previously, under XP, this kind of fault needed to be repaired manually by users. In Vista, just start the machine from the CD, enter the recovery console, and then enter the fixboot command. Vista will automatically detect the startup failure and automatically use the BCDMD command to repair the failure.
Eight Vista taskbar quick start icon is lost, how to get it back?
Under Windows Vista, quick launch items are saved in the folder C:\ User \ user name \ appdata \ roaming \ Microsoft \ internet explorer \ quick launch. If you accidentally delete the icons of several shortcuts that came with Vista, you can do this: create a new user. Copy files such as window switcher and display desktop to the original user directory above the new user directory. Under the Administrator account, you can delete the newly created user account.
What is the reason for screen capture in Vista 9?
Many times, you will find that there is no problem with the display of Vista itself, but whether you use the print screen button or other screenshot tools, there will be some screens, sometimes one, sometimes one, which is mainly caused by the imperfect driver of the graphics card that comes with Vista. The solution is to download and install the latest graphics card driver, which can generally be solved.
Why can't the weather in Vista sidebar be displayed?
In the Chinese version of Windows Vista, due to incorrect regional settings, the weather sidebar tool cannot be used by default (Vista House is developing the Chinese version of the weather sidebar tool, which will be provided by domestic servers), and the repair method is as follows.
1 Open the clock language and regional and language options in the control panel.
2 Set the current format to English (USA)
3 Go to the Location page and set the current location to the United States.
4 Go to Administration, click Change System Regional Settings, and set it to English (USA).
5 restart the computer
6 Click the Settings button in the upper right corner of the weather widget, and enter the name of the city you want to find in the current position text box in Chinese Pinyin. For example, you can enter Beijing to check the weather in the corresponding city.
However, after setting the region to the United States, some software may not display Chinese normally. Fortunately, I heard that Microsoft has fixed this problem in Windows Update.
Eleven system partition boot sectors are damaged.
The boot sector is damaged, which will also cause the system to fail to start normally. In Windows 2000/XP, you also need to enter the recovery console and use the fixmbr (Repair Master Boot Record) or fixboot (Repair Boot Sector) command.
Under Windows Vista, the system can automatically detect the startup failure in the same way, but Windows Vista can live up to expectations, easily find the crux of the problem, and automatically use BCDMD command to repair it.
If there is no system startup failure and you just want to test the IQ of Windows Vista, then Windows Vista will politely and firmly say that the startup repair can't detect the problem.
Judging from the performance of the startup recovery function, Windows Vista is undoubtedly reassuring. It is commendable that the system does not require us to have the ability to judge startup failures and troubleshoot, but leaves all the work to Windows Vista, which should be affirmed.
Twelve startup manager lost fault
If the boot manager bootmgr in the root directory of drive C is damaged or lost, you will be prompted that the operating system cannot be found when starting the computer, similar to the loss of ntldr files in Windows 2000/XP.
Under Windows 2000/XP, to solve this kind of fault, we need to know that the cause of the fault is the loss of the startup manager, and then enter the fault recovery console, and use the expand command at the command prompt to extract the ntldr file copy from the installation CD to the root directory of the C disk.
In Windows Vista, this is very simple. We don't need to know what causes the system to fail to start, just follow the following methods:
(1) First, use the method introduced by open sesame in the 1 series of Windows Vista, use the Windows Vista installation CD to boot the system into the system recovery option, and click on it to start the repair.
(2) The system searches for possible causes of startup failure in the set order. In the background of the system, the Boot Recovery Checker will automatically test and analyze Windows updates (patch installation failure may also lead to boot failure), system disk errors, disk metadata, and boot logs of the target operating system.
(3) If the system finds the cause of startup failure and fixes it, it will enter a dialog box, prompting that the problem has been found and trying to fix it.
(4)Windows Vista will not display the found fault cause by default, and you can directly click the Finish button to restart the computer and complete the recovery operation.
If you need to check the cause of the fault, you can click here on the dialog box to get the details of diagnosis and repair. On the opened dialog box, we can see that the root cause found is that the startup manager is missing and the required file repair tools have been successfully completed.
Find Vista's own driver
First, put the vista CD into the CD-ROM drive, then enter cmd in the initial search field, open the cmd mode, and enter IMAGEX.EXE/Apply x: \ lrmcfre _ cn _ DVD \ sources \ install. WIM (X: \ LRMCFRE _ CN _ DVD is your CD path).
After decompression, just copy the files in g: \ a \ Windows \ System32 \ DriverStore \ File Repository (the x: \ a path can be modified by itself).
Vista registry can't be opened.
Registry is the center and heart of the window system, which records most of the settings in the operating system. There is an attached registry editing tool in the window system, which can be used to access and modify the registry conveniently. This is Regedit. After malicious programs on the network modify IE's homepage with the registry, they not only modify the registry, but also prohibit the use of the registry in order to prevent you from using the registry program to modify it. When this command is executed, a dialog box will pop up: Registry editing has been disabled by the administrator.
In the face of this situation, what should I do! ? Registry is disabled, use group policy to solve it!
1 Click Start Running (win+r), enter Gpedit.msc, and press Enter to open the group policy.
2. Expand the user configuration management template system in turn, and double-click the block in the right window to access the registry editing tool, as shown in the following figure:
3 Select Disable in the pop-up window, and then exit Group Policy to unlock the registry after confirmation.
Solve the error that IE cannot be saved as mht file.
Click the Internet Explorer file save as command menu and select Web e-mail case (. Mht) format, and then save the file. There is an error in IE. You can't save the web page. In fact, there is an error in the inetcomm.dll file of IE browser. Just enter regsvr32 inetcomm.dll in the run input box and press Enter to solve it.
