My daughter's ASUS Vista Home Premium (64 bit) laptop
has the dreaded empty list in "Turn Windows options on
or off". I have tried everything to fix it including:
-running SFC /scannow
-setting an earlier restore point (unfortunatley the
oldest is 5 days, as Windows Update keeps creating
restore points when before it fails to install updates)
-running KB931712 standalone
-remove the reg key HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty (not
present)
I suspect the problem was caused by a faulty download of
..netframework 3.5 sp1. The system problem is also
preventing the computer from upgrading to Vista SP2. The
word is that if nothing works to fix this problem an
Upgrade/Repair is necessary.
ASUS unfortunately only supplies a Recovery Disk which
overwrites everything (not the ideal option for her)
Is it possible to do a repair/upgrade with a retail copy
of Vista Premium? If so when I enter the Product Key
number I would like to use the product key for the ASUS
laptop, not my Vista Premium Retail. Is this possible?
The Vista Premium is without SP1 or SP2 is it possible
to slipstream up to SP2?
Thanks
