  • Crashing after Windows automatic update

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.

    I have Vista running in my laptop and this morning reported a number of updates pending. I leave auto update to download and install all but other than IE8, I don't know what was there as I wasn't really paying attention. After restarting Windows will not load and I get the blue screen of death on the normal or safe mode. "Use the good last setting" option does not work and crashes and just Startup Repair tool brings back me to the option to run the tool or start Windows normally.

    I can not even in windows to do something and I don't know what I'm doing with Vista, so any help is appreciated.

    Simon

    Try this:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

    The right side of the Welcome screen is just completely empty.  No logo user, I can't in my computer normally.  I found, I could get around this by Ctrl alt del, but this makes me as a 'guest' and I can't access all the controls or updated windows help, which apparently requires the user administrator status.  How do I trouble this mess and get my normal connection?

  • Firefox don't appear or start on my XP PC after an automatic update (12/02/2014?); IE appears but freezes. Always have access to the e-mail. Advice to restore Firefox?

    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.

    Hello

    I have a problem. After an automatic update from Microsoft's site my Windows 7 Home Premium is no longer in effect. At startup the following appaers: x: error-windows-system32-drvload.exe and does not start. I can't bring him to an old date system and the system does not restart, and the only solution is resettlement.

Back to the old date of updates again just works now. Nearby, he installed the updates and restart the laptop works again nothing and the appers fault even once.

    Now, I installed again and update SP1 manually. It starts normally upwards and after making 41 updates, that the same thing happened.

  • Windows automatic updates to doubt?

    In windows 7, in windows updates, when we select "install updates automatically (recommended)" and then set the time when to install updates, to just install the updates then (downloads at any time seized in accordance with his will) or download them first at that time and then to install it?
    As my use of the internet is free from 02:00 to 08:00 and I want that windows should download the updates and install them automatically at 03:00 (it would cost my internet charges). If I put out there like "every day at 03:00" time, it will download at that time (which I want it to be), or simply install at the time (I don't want to use my day consumption for the updates of windows... I want to use the free part!).

    p.s. it restarts the computer automatically after installing updates (I don't want) or to delay the recovery until I wake up in the morning and do it myself (I want it)?

    If it does it automatically, is it possible to stop him?

    From: Understanding Windows automatic updating

    When the updates are downloaded?

    Updates are downloaded behind the scenes when you are online. They do not interfere with other downloads. If you disconnect from the Internet before an update is fully downloaded, the download process will continue the next time you're online.

    When the updates are installed?

    It depends on the automatic update option you choose. If you choose the recommended option, updates are installed at 3:00 or on a schedule you choose. If you turn off your computer before the scheduled time, you can install updates before shutting down. If your computer is in a State of economy of energy (sleep or Hibernate) during a scheduled update, and if your computer is connected to a power source, Windows will wake your computer long enough to install new updates. If your computer is running on battery, however, Windows will not install updates. Windows will try to install them instead at the next scheduled installation.

    Through the above information, it seems that Windows Update is download the updates when the system is online and install them during the scheduled installation.
    Updates need to reboot the system to replace files in use will be to reboot the system without any user interaction.

    As far as I know, when WU is set to automatic, there is no way to restrict the time when the system will download the updates.
    If the edition of Windows 7 is the ultimate edition, professional or business, one can configure the options of restart and guests reboots via Group Policy. In addition

    PowerShell cmdlets in Windows 7 introduces a set of 25 new cmdlets, which allow administrators to manage and automate Windows PowerShell through Group Policy. With these cmdlets, a COMPUTER administrator can backup, restore, report on and configure (through registry settings) Group Policy objects. This feature is added during the installation of the GPMC.

    PowerShell cmdlets also applies to editions listed above of Windows 7.

  • 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?

    Hello

    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.
