After installing automatically updates, data was erased, signed on a generic basis Admi
To close Windows Update installed AM 4. I happened to be awake and noticed because I listen to a podcast of the bed, and cut out the audio. It was too late for me to stop updates, so I just let it run and restart if necessary. When the charging system load, half my desktop icons are missing, as well as all office files, the content already stored there now apparently not found.
Naturally, I am alarmed by this much, so I decided to restart. It is something I repeat two times before giving up. The problem is that every time that I reboot, despite the signing in thanks to my main user account, I am logged in as the admin of generics. This means that essentially none of my software (having been installed only on the user account) is installed (and, for example, when you try to reinstall Chrome I'd get -Installer download failed.) Error = 0x800405ff), none of my preferences are saved, and once again I have not access to several evidence of records of important files, previously located on my desktop.
The installed updates are:
Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2485376) - Installation status: success
Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB2492475) - Installation status: success
Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2393802) - Installation status: success
Update cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2482017) - Installation status: success
Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2483185) - Installation status: success
Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2479628) - Installation status: success
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x 64-February 2011 (KB890830) - Installation status: success
So above all, what I need to connect under my user account actually take me there rather than generic admin and recover the lack of desktop files became MIA after foregoing, forcibly settled.
By the way, I am running Vista Ultimate SP 2, 64-bit edition.
Hi Caleb Posner,.
You can try a system restore to a previous point where you have not experienced the problem.
Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

Make sure that you do not install hardware 3rd party via windows update drivers
they are normally not up to date and can cause computer problems
change the way you receive updates and check what you install ad if you don't not right-clicking on UAC prompt you to hide it:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html
Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.
and if you're still stuck in a loop non-Boot read these methods on how to try to fix it:
1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

The morning after the automatic update, my XP PC monitor had a black solid (or was it blue?) screen with only the arrow cursor visible. Move the mouse did nothing except move the arrow cursor. I rebooted and fortunately the Windows logo appears, and I was able to access all the programs I normally use except Firefox. When I click on the Firefox icon in the XP boot screen, the arrow cursor turns into the hourglass. The hourglass stay right there. Firefox can run in an alternate universe, because when I ran CCleaner, I received a message saying that Firefox took a long time to close, and I want to force it to close.
I'm still able to send and receive emails, which indicates the Internet access. However, with no visible browser, I don't know how to connect to my XP PC Web sites. How can given these limitations, I go about restoring Firefox on my XP PC?
Thank you.
You are welcome

computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night
Hi, Kevin
My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.
I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?
Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?
Thank you!
REMOVE your product key from your last post as someone can use your key and
It will make a lot of griefCall or contact the manufacturer of the system since you are using an OEM version.

Hello
Welcome to the Forums Community Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.
According to the description, you get an error message "FAILED CONNECTION USER INIT" after installing Windows updates.
From my research, this problem occurs if the Userinit key in the Windows registry has been changed. For example, this problem may occur if the Userinit key has a value, but no binary data.
I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.
Method 1:
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Step 2: Check the value and binary Userinit registry data
Important: The following instructions contain the steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information, view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Back up the registry
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registrya. start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.
b. click continue.
c. Locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
d. in the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click change.
e. in the value data box, type hard disk:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe, and then click OK.
Note: The placeholder of the hard drive refers to the drive on which Windows Vista is installed.
f. close the registry editor.
g. restart the computer.
Method 2:
Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.
System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.

How can I get my laptop to recognize my printer wireless after the automatic update?
After the automatic update I couldn't open any program (Word, Excel, internet etc.) that I managed to resolve by restoring my laptop settings before the update. It seems to have worked until I went to use my printer. My laptop will not find my printer through devices and printers, and when I go to print a document, an error box pops up saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the installation of the current printer.
Your help would be appreciated gratefully.
