• No sound in Vista after Windows auto updates

  Set to automatic update ran all night. No sound afterwards. I uninstalled the driver realtek audio, downloaded the driver and reinstalled, updated the driver through Device Manager, run 2 windows related to the sound, his fix and still nothing. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly. I can adjust the volume, but it makes no difference.  I have no alerts related to sound, no red x, no yellow triangles, just NO SOUND!

  Hello

  And go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > looking for drivers and downloads Section > equip your laptop computer model number > find your operating system > download and install the drivers etc you will find Audio.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

  "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72491-Windows-Update.html

  _____________________________________________

  Here's how to change the update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

  "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  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.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  See you soon.

  Method 2:

  I also suggest you to perform the system restore and check.

  System Restore: Put the computer to an earlier point in time, when everything worked well. If the system restore is a recovery preinstalled on your computer option:

  Restart the computer manually.

  (a) do one of the following:

  a. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  b. If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

  (b) on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select repair your computer, and then press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer does not include restoration of the system as a preinstalled recovery option.)

  (c) select a keyboard layout and then click Next.

  (d) select a username and password, and then click OK.

  (e) on the System Recovery Options menu, click System Restore. Put the computer to an earlier point in time, when everything worked well.

  Hi shamorau,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  (1) do you have because of recent changes, after which the problem occurred?

  The first thing I would say is to update or rather uninstall and reinstall display drivers and who might have to deal with the issue.

  Also I suggest you try to use another monitor to see if it is not a problem with the monitor.

  Let us know if the problem persists after the driver updates.

• When I try to use the system restore I get is an empty box where the restore points should be restore which stops me using the restore of the system how can I get the restoration back bridges

  I tried to use my system restore, but when I go into it all dates are missing from the box and I can't use the system I tried many different things, but nothing is done, everyone has ideas

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore', or your accounts settings page of users shows that the 'User accounts' title bar and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

  You can now fix the symptom and scanning for malware later, or you can now find malware and fix the remains later.  I recommend just fixing the symptom of the empty page and forget to do the scans.  The symptom of the problem of fixing and fixing the problem are two different things.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).

  Just fix the immediate question:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript .dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

  Now check your timetable for restoration of the system and/or the user account settings page.

• Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

  Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

  Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
  I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
  Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

  Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

  When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
  If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
  Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
  Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
  I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
  As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!
