Both my vista system entered a repeated after the last automatic update reboot

I had just done file clean with Norton Utilities on both systems, during the restart of automatic updates has downloaded the latest vista updates.

Step 2 first load okay but when the phase 3 is to load I get the same message: configuration of updates of stge 3 of 3 0% complete do not turn off your computer and keeps it just reboot again and again.

One system, I could get back on line running a repair utility and go back to a restore point. No luck on the other still.

Tried all the advice, it's the only thing that finally worked.

http://nctritech.com/vista_update_loop.php

Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run restore system from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE the files \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml AND (if applicable) will be fixed \Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml and the infinite loop updated.

There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

  • After the last automatic update, I can't receive any email to any of my 6 email accounts?

    I have been using Thunderbird without any problems and just after the latest Automatic update, happened the other day, I can not receive or send e-mails to all. I checked all the settings of accounts and find nothing has changed. I think it's a problem with the update? I don't see any way to update or install the program without losing emails or information. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I make a new account using the same e-mail settings and was able to receive and send emails on the account that I used. So, just to try it, that I'm back in the original account and now I am able to send and receive emails again from him. I hope he takes care of the problem?

     I then removed the new account and am using the original one now.
    

    Everything works as it should right now so it's resolved for now.

  • Unable to access network printer after the last automatic update.

    After automatic security update KB2660465 and KB2661637 today, I can no longer print or access our office network printer. I think it has something to do with the Windows Firewall, but I'm not sure what to change. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply. I understand the problem. After the last update, it must have been a change to the firewall. I was finally able to reinstall the FIRST printer by turning off the firewall. This allowed me to see the printer and reinstall it. It worked very well after turning on the rear firewall after installation.

  • After the last automatic update, I lost the Norton since Firefox toolbar.

    In order to have a Norton ID Safe operation, I use Firefox ESR 38.4.0 with a stand-alone version of Norton Security Toolbar 2014.7.11.35.  I locked update of Firefox and Norton in the registry, in group policy, and in the settings options programs. Everything worked fine with MS Security Essentials and firewall Windows on Max Windows Update settings is set to "check for updates but let me decide what and when to download and install."

    Everything was going well until I've manually updated Windows.  I put the info on each update of the changes likely to modify the parameters of Norton or Firefox or add telemetrics.  Once installed 37 required and optional updates, I found that I lost Norton Security toolbar. It has been marked as incompatible in Add-ons, and the Norton toolbar has been removed from the browser. Even the Norton toolbar menu option has been removed in Firefox menu display drop-down. I broke compatibility with no result.

    I had to uninstall Firefox and Norton Toolbar, restore Windows to upgrade and re - install Firefox and Norton.

    What updates issued since 07/02/2016 would have caused all this chaos?  I can't update Windows or Windows Security Essentials until I reduce some update or updates causes this problem.

    (Updated everything and running without typing Norton Safe ID auto are not an option.)

    Thank you advance.

    Hello

    Due to changes in Firefox, it must redraw Identity Safe Norton Identity Safe is not yet compatible with the latest version of Firefox.

  • Why attached used pps files opened after the latest Automatic update of the ie8?

    Attn: Microsoft Brainiacs; IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
    attached pps files won't open if clicked in outlook express/ie8 after automatic update more recent.
    When I try to open files pps attached, this is what I get.
    a box with a red x will appear and this is the message;
    "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.
    Create an association in the FOLDER OPTIONS Control Panel."
     
    Before the automatic update, this function worked fine.
    Also, the association for pps files is still there in the Folder Options Control Panel.
    and more if I save the pps file attached somewhere / anywhere and then click on it, it opens fine.
    .. This failure to launch opening pps files attached, that happened after the latest Automatic update,
    .. just one more why people hate automatic updates or updates of any kind.
    like the previous functions of work suddenly and inexplicapbly no longer work after the update took place!
    So what's the cure for this annoying problem?

    Please fix this.

    Hi Mikepolifka,

    ؠ What updates did you install on your computer?

    Try SafeMode as the first step.

    Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    You can also perform a restore of the system on your computer and check if the problem persists.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    If it works fine after system restore you may have to manually install updates one and check the status.

    I use Windows Ultimate x 86.  I hope someone can help me!

    Got a response from Ms.  Good all who have this problem - you have an ATI Radeon graphics card?  Driver is causing the conflict.  Uninstall all the stuff ATI goes on ATI web site and install the download of 'single driver '.  Reboot and then you can download and install other fancy programs that come with your graphics card.

    This particular screen means that your Mac could not find a valid system folder from upward. I recommend that you try reinstalling OS X using OS X Recovery. Please follow the steps below.

    To boot from OS X Recovery, hold down the command (⌘) r immediately after start-up or that you restart your Mac. Release when you see the Apple logo. If you can not boot from OS X Recovery, now try the Command + Option + R key at the start of the OS X Internet Recovery*.
