You can download and reinstall the installer from microsoft's site.

Since you say you have Vista 32bit then you need to download the one that is 1.7 MB and has a file name of:
x86 Platform: Windows6.0-KB942288-v2-x86.msu

The link for microsoft site is below: if the link is not clickable then just copy and paste into your browser.

SOURCE: Hi, i have a dell

Two common problems can cause this sort of thing and is a place to start in trying to resolve the issue.

The first one is overheating. When the cpu gets too hot it will start running sluggishly and can completely freeze up. Put your hand behind the back where the power supply is and feel how hot the air coming out is. If there is no air movement you're also in trouble. The air normally will feel warm but not hot. Also feel the case itself. Dust clogs up the fans, both power supply and extra fans and the cpu fan itself. Make sure any fan you can see isn't covered with lint. Unless you are sure what you are doing don't try to clean it yourself. You don't want to cause static. Have it cleaned. The cpu fan is most important but all of them need to be cleaned out periodically, in homes with pets more often. You can try using a q-tip and clean off the fan blades as much as you can.

The second common cause is spyware. You can acquire spyware from websites. It is not unusual to have a number of them, all trying running at the same time. You can get so many that they can slow down your machine. A good (and free) program like Spybot Search and Destroy and remove these. But BEWARE, not all programs that claim to get rid of spyware do so! Some actually do the opposite. Spybot and Adaware (NOT adware! adAware by lava soft is the one) are free and good programs to get rid of spyware.

There are other things that can also cause your problem but these two are very common and a good place to start.

What is the procedure to install a 32-bit softwares in to my laptop(windows 7,home premium,64-bit) ?

Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
Device drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows won't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you're trying to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows.

Windows 7 64bit does run programs that will run on windows 7 32bit, see here

How Windows 7 / Vista 64 Support 32 bit Applications

BUT not ALL 32bit programs will run on Windows 7!!! There are many programs that will run on Windows XP and before that will not run on Windows 7. IF you had Windows 7 Pro version (or upgrade) there is a program you can download from Microsoft that will simulate an XP environment to allow programs to run called "XP MODE".
Try to install the 32bit software first. If installation not succeed, it would be better if you first look into a newer version of the program you want to run.You have to consider that a newer version of your program might not be that much more expensive than upgrading to pro, and with the newer version, usually comes newer features.

Hope this help and if helpful RATE please.

Hi, I have Inspiron 1545 and I've installed the windows vista home premium 32 bit, but the OS could not detect the Dell Bluetooth Module. Is there any solutions to this problem ?

Try to download the bluetooth driver from the Dell Support website. Go to www.support.dell.com and enter the service tag, which you can find in the bottom of the computer. It will list all the available drivers. Find the bluetooth driver for the computer for the particular OS (in your case Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit), then download and install it. Restart the computer. It should be working.

Vista home premium missing help files

Dont worry if you are missing help files...........just follow these steps...:-
1) get to someother computer which have windows vista premium running. try to find help files in c:/windows directory.
2) Once found copy it into usb and copy those files in your system at the same location from where you have copied them in other computer.
3) Restart system and its done.

Other way is to use vista recovery disk to copy system files ...
Hope it works well for you.........

Win32?whats that?

It is telling you that the file you have downloaded is invalid. It probably means it is corrupted during the download process.

I'm not sure what you are downloading but have you tried AVG free edition?
You can download it here

I just bought a new Dell running 64-bit Vista Home Premium. My problem is, when trying to install my printer, it says the drivers are not compatible with the 64-bit operationg system. The Dell website has...

Contact the Printers Manf. or go to its web site for drivers.
If that fails, you may want to daul boot with a 32bit system.
Also, you may want to Gogle the printer for a 64bit driver.
