• Vista - boot failure after installing Windows updates

  Hi, I use windows vista and for the last two days every time I shut down my computer, load 16 updates. Then when I restart my computer, it will start up repair and system restore. It would seem that these updates are causing a problem launching. 4 are the updates for office 2007, so I don't think it's one of those at the origin of the problem, but the other 12 are related to questions of security and authentication with vista and I suspect this is one of them. Help, please! I copied the updates below.

  I had a similar problem. The update worked for me was KB2360131, I had to hide and the rest updates went well. This is what I did:

  (1) turn off the automatic updates

  (2) set up the Windows Update service manual init

  (3) restart

  (4) delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution directory of the Windows folder

  5) go to the Windows Update site and search for updates

  (6) once he finds all the updates, go to the list and hide KB2360131

  (7) install the rest

  It will be useful.

• Firefox crashes after installing 29,0

  People,
  I installed 29,0 early Saturday morning (10/05/14) before the 29.0.1 patch has been published. Even after 29.0.1. installed himself, he continued to be planted after 1-2 minutes. I couldn't even keep it long enough to generate reports of crash and never had the crash report dialog box.
  
  I downloaded and installed 28.0, but nothing has changed.
  
  Today, I watched in the Mangler task to see if something came out. I open the Services tab and found that nearly half services for Firefox was "arrested." Being desperate, I decided to try to restart some services and on the top 10. I started to receive messages one by one that said that a service could not be restarted because of bad software from a facility (no surprise).
  
  I gave up and tried to restart Firefox again. This time, he stayed up! So, I tried to find the grave down for 5/10. There is NOT! Apparently, the program did not stay up long enough to generate and save a report of crash in the usual way.
  
  But after trying to restart services "Stopped", Firefox is stayed until the fairly long for me to read the page giving suggestions for accidents. I decided to restart in safe mode, and it remained up to again. So, try to restart some services both run in safe mode appear to work (we'll see).
  
  I went to the directory of App Data\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash reports and found two reports of incidents for 5/10. They were not in the subfolders 'pending' or 'subject '. However, when I tried to copy them to another folder, they disappeared.
  
  So, where should I go from here? I have a disabled browser that is important for my work. I especially need add-on Adobe Acrobat to work. You can fix this?

  Here is the list of "All reports of incidents." No multiple accidents which took place may 10 after installing 29,0 appear here. Apparently, the browser works so badly that it has not yet generated incident reports.

  Finally, I saved my favorites and uninstalled Firefox completely. Then I installed the 28. It has not crashed, more. Then I upgraded to 29.0.1, and now it seems OK.
  
  But, why did I have to go through all that? That the average user could do that? N °
  
  And still no recognition of what happened with 29,0. I'd love to charge an hour for the time I spent on this or maybe I just do not contribute this year.

• How can I reinstall MS OneNote2003 after installing Vista?

  Hello everyone,

  I was a bit confused of the 'ExpressUpgrade' action, because I first thought I would get
  a DVD-Windows Vista upgrade, but as I can see in ModusLink he is named "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD"... OK, it's done now, but that's why I have other questions:

  There was additional software and utilities already installed (I have a Satellite P100 - 463 WinXP).
  I know that there is this "step by step Toshiba DVD" who has first updates the BIOS, install Vista and then the drivers needed and utility (as "Toshiba Assist" and all the others, I guess). As it is written in the guide step by step, all programs etc. will be deleted, as formatting of the hardddisk, ok.

  But with the laptop, there wasn't "MS Office OneNote 2003" already installed and this program, I have not found on one of the DVD / CD. On the CD is 'MS Works 8.5' and on 'Tools-CD"that I was burning of 'C:\toolscd' there are things like"InterVideo Win DVD Creator"(the player) and"recorder of Sonic.

  On the "Recovery-DVD" is just the Image of Windows XP preinstalled + software etc and I think of course, there is also the OneNote2003, but like I said I can't find the setup.exe from OneNote2003 anywhere...

  Or could it be that OneNote2003 will also be installed with the installation of Vista? What is a "core" Vista, don't not patched by Toshiba? As I was reading in the Vista_Express_Upgrade_instruction_multilanguage.pd f (the manual "upgrade progressive", first BIOS is up to date, then installed Vista and here again I have to use the toshiba DVD to install the software and drivers...) Is it only "utiltities' as"Toshiba Assist"or as software?

  Last question: update after the BIOS that is needed for Vista, is still possible to install the "old" Windows XP + stuff pre-installed recovery-DVD or this BBIOD goof only for Vista update and I cannot restore the original recovery image?

  And anyway, can I install new stuff like Works 8.5 etc. on Vista or will I have problems with it?

  Thanks for the replies.
  Greetings, launchee

  Hi kai

  I know that the Vista upgrade is a bit confusing
  So I'll try to clarify some things:

  1.) Toshiba Recovery XP CD contains all Toshiba drivers, utilities and tools, as well as additional programs like OneNote, Win DVD, etc.
  It is not possible to install this software separately without using the recovery CD because these programs are part of the image.

  2.) as far as I know the received "Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit DVD of moduslink company is not a restore CD but the real Windows Vista installation CD. That's why you need to install all the tools of Toshiba and the drivers after installing Vista. This CD does not include additional software such as OneNote or WinDVD

  So finally, you will be able to install Works 8.5 on Vista because you have one working on CD separately but it s not possible to install OneNote from recovery CD

  But you can try another way. You could create a second partition and you could install the Vista to the second partition.
  Laptop you would use the two operating system; XP and Vista. The Vista also provides a clean boot manager.
  Therefore, it is very easy to switch between the two OS's.

• Satellite A30 - impossible to get a sound after installing XP

  Am not able to get sound after installing XP. Drivers from the Toshiba web site do not help. Does anyone have an idea on this issue. Thank you

  Hello

  It's old model of laptop, and all pilots must work. I'm sure you make a mistake. On this old notebook, you must install Windows XP Home SP1 edition and after doing this install all patches software, driver chipset, driver and driver sound to the less rated. The sound should work fine.

  If you have laptop model please download the drivers from the EMEA support page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

• Satellite L350D - 12 M PSLE0E - no sound after installing Win XP

  Hello

  I installed Win XP SP3 on my Tosh laptop.
  I have everything works except the sound.

  We know of a compatible for this model sound card driver in XP.
  I downloaded the bucket full of HD and AC97 Realtek drivers, but none seems not to work.

  I'm really struggling with this one and do not want to go back to Vista.

  Reall any help is appreciated. Robbie.

  Hello

  I had the same problem with sound after installing XP everything seemed fine but no sound!

  I found a solution;
  You need to install the MS patches; KB835221 and KB888111
  These hotfixes must be installed before installing driver sound!

  But I put t know how it works with SP3. I think that you need to remove the SP3 first and then you could install the patches mentioned.

  However, once the patches have been installed, you must follow with the Realtek HD audio driver installation. The latest driver should be placed also on the Realtek page too.

  Well, in my case it worked so it should work on your laptop too!

• HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC: touchpad scroll function not working after installing windows 7 (64)

  After a complete hard drive failure, I installed Win 7 everything works, as far as I know, except scrolling on the touchpad. I went through all the troubleshooting I can find.  The last one I tried was in the Control Panel, mouse and look for the details of the touchpad. It is not listed there.  I can't find a driver to install HP and Driver Downloads. Where can I find a driver for the touchpad with scrolling? The only thing listed under the mouse in the menu of device driver is a PC mouse.

  I'm sorry that the link of the page didn't work.  HP has problems with the website support, and even for me at times, page links do not work.

  As for the installation of Windows 9, how to acquire that is to order the HP recovery media. It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP.  You get these by contacting HP Customer Service.

  Sirot,
  It sounds as if there is something in the way of installation.  First of all, make sure that your system is free of malware\virus infections.  This thread has some great information on this topic: getting rid of malware.   If you do not find infections or even the question after removing them and then perform a clean boot , and then run updates.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

  After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

  PA bear,

  Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

  Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

  HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

  If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

  The computer restarts after a Stop error message display 0x0000007E (after update with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP)

  If you have had problems with XP updates, including service pack 2 or 3, try this page:

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

  Good luck!

• Boot problems after installing Vista SP2 (KB948465)

  I installed SP2 via update.  During the update process there was a power failure.  After that (I don't remember if it's immediately after, or if a few days elapsed) I had problems with the startup.  Initially, seemed the Startup Repair to fix the problem, but not permanently, and the Startup Repair had to be used repeatedly just to start.

  After a few times of what is happening, Startup Repair did not turn, and the PC wouldn't start.  After about 5 attempts using the decision-making power, sometimes choose the Startup Repair, sometimes choose to load windows normally, he did start.
  I immediately did a system restore to return my PC before SP2 was installed.

  After the restoration of versions prior to SP2, Windows Update showed that the SP2 update failed.  It was on 9 November.  As I need my computer, I didn't reinstall SP2 until I had finished this work.

  As I thought that the problem is probably caused by the power outage, on 10 September, I reinstalled SP2.  Windows Update show no SP2 as an available update, then I downloaded and installed the standalone update.

  Between the 10th and today, 14, Windows Update has installed more than updated.

  Today, I was unable to start for the first time since the reinstall SP2 and Startup Repair has allowed me to open a session.
  I tried to uninstall SP2 via update.  The first part of it seemed to work, but when it came to reboot, the PC stopped at the end power to the bottom of the procedure.  I used the power switch to turn the PC back on.  After startup, the PC told me that deletion failed.

  Then I tried the system restore.  Unfortunately, the first available restore point was post - SP2 installation.  I restored it for the point that is as close as I could.  I tried to uninstall SP2 again through Windows Update.  This time, I receive a generic error message immediately (less than a second) - it does not attempt to go through the configuration - restart the procedure.

  I haven't restarted my PC since then.  Most updates have been downloaded automatically, and the PC tells me that a restart is required.  I'm a little worried that I will end up with a completely insensitive PC.

  I use an Acer Aspire X 3200 with Vista home premium pre-installed.  I don't have a Vista disc.
