Post subject: Vista OEM Re-Install Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>installation_setup (more info?)
Help!!
I want to re-install Vista Home Premium OEM, over the top of the existing
Vista OEM installation.
Do I have a hope?
I'm trying to get around a problem in Outlook (2007), whereby Outlook hangs
for around ten minutes if you hit key or click the mouse whilst it is
mid-stream of checking a POP3 mailbox.
To this point, I've tried just about everything, recreating the Outlook
profile, recreating the Windows profile, installed SP1, uninstalled SP1,
installed other office hotfixes, uninstalled same hotfixes, installed Vista
SP1, uninstalled Vista SP1, installed Vista hotfixes, uninstalled Vista
hotfixes.
The next thing I want to do, short of a fresh clean install of Vista, is to
do an inplace re-install of Vista. However, in the Home Premium stakes, all
I have is an OEM disk, which is what the machine came with. Does anyone have
any way this can be done?
I want to try this as a last-resort fix, as it did work for me in resolving
a problem with a different Outlook 2007 problem on a Vista Business machine,
but I feel kind of stuck, and in a position where I now have to purchase a
Home Premium Upgrade, just to get the disk. Seems a lot of expense to go to,
just for a piece of plastic.

I have to ask - If the problem is with Outlook 2007, why do you want to
re-install Windows?
Have you tried checking your Outlook data files for errors?
- Close Outlook
- Open a Windows Explorer window, then navigate to the folder
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12" if you're using
Vista x64, or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12" if you're
using Vista x86.
- Find the utility called "SCANPST.EXE" (It's icon looks like an
envelope that has been torn in two). Double click this icon.
- Click the Browse button, and locate your "outlook.pst" file (It
should be in the folder
"C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook")
- Click StartDid this resolve your problem? Have you tried installing Office 2007
SP1?

Are you using a Dell laptop with the Embassy Trust Suite enabled\installed?
If you are, uninstall this program, and all will be fine.

Hi Dzomlija,
I considered Outlook as being the issue. Tried SCANPST as you suggested
already.
Things tried so far, with some tried multiple times...
* SCANPST
* Created new Outlook Profile
* Uninstalled Office 2007 SP1
* Re-installed Office 2007 SP1
* Uninstalled Office
* Re-installed Office
* Re-installed Office 2007 SP1
* Created new Vista User
* Uninstalled Vista SP1
* Re-installed Vista SP1
* Re-installed recent hotfixes
I want to try re-installing Vista as this fixed another problem I
experienced with Outlook on another machine, and every Outlook/Office thing I
can think of I've tried already, including the "brute force" complete
uninstall, re-install.
Rgds,
Jason.

Nope. No-name laptop with nothing special installed. Thought it might be
virus scanner, tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but no luck either...

You can reinstall OEM Vista by using the "upgrade" option of the Anytime
Upgrade DVD.
If you have a version of VISTA installed, it merely "upgrades" to the same
version. You will need your Product Key from the computer case; and in my
case, I had to reactivate by telephone anyway.....but it works.

PS: It will not overwrite or damage your programs and data files. It will
only reinstall the system. You will have to re-download any Windows Updates
and patches.

I think you're right. If I ever get into this situation again, I think
buying a new copy of Vista, is my only real option.
Just seems so stupid to have to buy ANOTHER license, to enable me to
reinstall Vista, with the original product key, onto the original equipment
it was originally installed on to. That extra license will then sit on the
shelf ad-infinatum until I can find someone who inadvertantly bought Vista
Basic, which in my world, I am yet to see. Believe it or not, I've never
seen Vista Basic. Premium, Business and Ultimate, yes, but not Basic...
