After installing the updates, available disk space is less.

I recently started to use one of my old computers again.  It ran Windows XP SP2.  I noticed that the automatic updates were leaving so I have them turned on, and when you are prompted to install/download the new updates I did.  I ended up getting 150 + new updates and the next time I turned on my computer I had spent 5 GB free space at 665 MB of free space.  I checked to see if it was a different program, I installed, but none of those (found in Add/Remove programs of control panel) are larger than 500 MB.  What happened to my free space. and how can I get it back?

  • "NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close"error after installing the update of security KB2707511

    After you install the update of security KB2707511 when I try to open a ms - dos 16-bit program, I get the following error: "NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. " Application does not start. I can run without error command.com. Uninstall KB2707511 in Control Panel, add & delete, the application works. Install KB2707511 error occurs.

    I have a lot of customers running a 16-bit MS-DOS - program that receives the same error.  It seems not to be a malware problem, as it is homogeneous across many machines (unless, of course, all have the same problem of malware).  By uninstalling the KB2707511 and the KB2709162 they all work. Something in these updates is in conflict with something in these dos programs causing the "NTVDM. Erorr EXE'.

    Security updates for Windows Vista released October 13, 2009 and November 10, 2009 still an Internet connection limited Connectivity/No. Did not help uninstall updates. To do the system restore to solve the problem. Why is this?

    drusecord,
    First thing is to update your network drivers for your system.  Then see if after the update of safety, you have a problem.  If you do, I would do the following:

    Disk error checking

    System File Checker

    Then if there are updates that you already have, but are always available to consult this information:

  • IdeaPad 100 s-11IBY problems after installing the update of Windows 10 anniversary (aka version 1607)

    Yesterday, my 11IBY-100 s installed update 10 birthday Windows (aka Windows 10 Version 1607). Now, it has multiple problems and is unusable.

    1. the keyboard (Yes, the built-in keyboard) does not work. None of the keys (letters, numbers, 'actions' as BACKSPACE) work not at all. If I plug in a USB wireless keyboard, it works fine. So maybe there is a problem with the device driver for the built-in keyboard with the update of the anniversary. The keyboard works perfectly until Windows Update installed upgrading birthday.

    2. the trackpad is not working. If I plug in a USB wireless mouse, it works fine. So maybe there is a problem with the device driver for the trackpad with the update of the anniversary. The trackpad has worked very well until Windows Update installed upgrading birthday.

    3. the Kingston 32 GB microSD card plugged into the microSD port is not recognized by the file Explorer. If I plug the 32GB Kingston microSD card in a USB microSD card reader and plug the card reader into a USB port, microSD storage is recognized in the file Explorer, so the microSD itself is fine. So maybe there is a problem with the device driver for the port microSD with the update of the anniversary. The microSD port works great and the micro SD card has been recognized in the file Explorer until Windows Update installed upgrading birthday.

    4. There is no audio data, Windows now indicates that no audio hardware is installed. So maybe there is a problem with the device drivers for the builtin microphone and the built-in speaker with the update of the anniversary. They worked fine until Windows Update installed upgrading birthday.

    I tried to do a RESET, but unfortunately although the reset worked, it resets Windows 10 Version 1607 (aka anniversary update) not an earlier version of Windows 10 and I still have all the problems above. Far as I can see, the Windows settings now say there is no history of update and no previous version of Windows, so I can't use any method of recovery which is available on the PC itself to go to an earlier version of Windows.

    Please can someone advise how to reset my PC (and where I can get the 32-bit Windows 10 appropriate ISO file or other) Windows 10 Version 1511 (i.e. before the update of the anniversary)?

    Or, Alternatively, device drivers are valid for Windows 10 Version 1607 for builtin keyboard, trackpad, port, microSD, microphone and speaker available somewhere? I can't see on the Lenovo Web site.

    Ron

    On the Lenovo site, in "Drivers and software" for this unit, there was a "Chipset" called driver «Intel platform driver for Windows 10 (32 bit) - Ideapad 100 s-11IBY» I downloaded and installed, then after being invited, rebooted the device. I am pleased to announce that

    the keyboard now works

    (b) the trackpad works now

    (c) the microSD card is now recognized by the file Explorer

    (d) the audio now works

  • Lost Audio after installing the updates from HP

    I installed 2 updates recommended on the HP website (sp46442.exe updated the BIOS) and (sp26468.exe to update the driver LightScribe).  Immediately after, I lost all sound elements.  I tried to do a "restore", but the service will not terminate the process indicating that at least a file cannot be accessed/changed perhaps because of my AntiVirus program being on.  I have Norton 2010, and both the AV and Firewall control have been "disabled" for the attempt to restore.  Troubleshooting says that my speakers are not "connected" or not to "plugged in) so that, in fact, they are in place correctly, as they were before the updates.  Software operating system is MS Windows 7 Professional - 64-bit.

    I can not go back (run restore) for a reason, even if I could before the downloads, then what possible measures could I try to fix this problem?

    David-

    I solved the problem.  All I had to do was to 'roll-back' all of my audio drivers and Viola! I now have her again.  Thanks again for your participation in this forum, it helps to ensure our job a lot easier.

  • Strange behavior of the mouse after installing the updated driver

    Hello

    Windows Update suggested that I update the mouse and/or the keyboard driver detection. I don't remember the exact message.

    Also, I find no trace of this update in the box "Installed updates". It seems that the driver updates are not included.

    Symptom: Periodically, the screen scrolls upward around 3 lines, even through I'm even not touching the mouse. It's like the wheel was scrolled beyond a tick.

    This has never happened before this update of detection has been installed.

    Windows 64-bit Enterprise, USB Intellimouse Optical 1.1

    How can I find the update has been installed? How can I remove it?

    Thanks - ankle

    Hi MaskedAnkle,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

    If you want to see the updated story to update try the following steps to check the update has been installed for programs.

    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon. (See screenshot below)

    2. click on the link to view update history. (See screenshot below)

    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-

    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details. (See screenshot below step 4)

    (B) click on close when finished. (See screenshot below)

    4. to copy the details of an update of Windows unique to Clipboard-

    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    NOTE: It will be the same details in step 3, but in a text format instead.

    (B) you can now copy the contents of the Clipboard (ctrl + V) in a program such as Notepad or WordPad.

    If you think that the problem occurred after the installation of the update of the driver, you can restore the mouse driver and check if that helps.

    Steps to roll back a driver:

    #Open Control Panel Windows Device Manager.

    Manager #In of devices, look for the device that you want to restore the driver.

    #After find the material you are roll back the driver, right click on the name or the icon of the device and click Properties.

    #In the properties of the device window, click the driver tab.

    #On tab driver, click on the button return to the previous version.

    Note: If the button return to the previous version is disabled, Windows 7 doesn't have a previous driver to roll back to then you will not be able to complete this process.

    #Click the button Yes to the question "Are you sure you want to restore the driver previously installed software?".

    We now find the driver already installed. You should see the button return to the previous version is disabled when the roll back is finished.

    #Click the close button at the bottom of the screen of the device properties.

    #Click Yes in the system settings change dialog box that says: "your hardware settings have changed. You must restart your computer for these changes to take effect. You want to restart your computer now? »

    If this message is hidden, the close window command panel might help. You will not be able to close the Device Manager.

    Note:
    you are according to the device driver roll back, it is possible that you will not need to restart your PC. If you
    do not see the message, consider the complete rear roller.

    #Your computer will now restart automatically.

    When Windows 7 starts up again, it will load with the device driver of this material that you had previously installed

    You can also try the system restore if the problem persists,
    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212/
