  Original title: MS Office programs do not open after installation of Windows update to Windows Vista operating system

  After having decided to install the Windows Update my computer told me was available all my software as my programs MS Offfice is no longer open.  I don't know what to do.  The only thing that still works is the Windows Media Player.  I can't open Word or Excel, I can't access my photos.  Open Internet Explorer is like a weird nightmare but I am able to access the Internet.  I tried reinstalling my MS Office software, which did not work.  I have no idea what to do to solve the problem, but I need my computer back. It was good except for its slow, when I open certain programs, now I can't access something.  Any ideas what I should do to correct the nightmare?

  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-registry

  a. 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.

  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
  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.

• Need to re install my Windows 7 do I need to "save my files and programs?

  Problems with Win7, but I like him and I drive so I want to re install. I have to save my docs and programs like Acrobat, etc.?

  You need to back up everything.

  Perform a full backup that includes the image of 'data' and the system.

  Create a system repair disc.

  In any case, backups must be performed on a regular basis. A system repair disc should always be at hand.

  Programs need to be reinstalled, so you must have the installation diskettes or the way of installation which may exist as a download and all associated passwords or serial numbers.

  Has anyone else been having sound problems with the new batch of updates? I tried to download the drivers, but that didn't work and now I had to restore my system from the 18th daily. Any ideas on how to identify the update is the cause or what driver I may have missed? My computer is a Dell Latitude E5420, running 64-bit Windows 7 Prof. Any other information needed let me know. Thank you!

  Hello

  According to the description, I understand that you are facing the problem in your computer after Windows installation updated May 18, 2016.

  Yes, you can view the installed update so that you can identify the updates that are installed in May 18, 2016.

  Please follow the methods described below to check if it helps:

  Method 1: perform a Clean boot and install Windows Update.

  If its a major update, I recommend you put the computer in a clean boot state and install it again in order to minimize interference that could cause this noise problem.

  Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: uninstall and reinstall the Sound Driver.

  1. Press Windows + X key.
  2. Type devmgmt.msc (to open Device Manager)
  3. Find and select the audio driver.
  4. Right click on the driver.
  5. Uninstall the audio driver.

  Windows automatically installs the generic driver, otherwise I recommend you download & install audio driver on the website of the manufacturer to check if it helps.

• No Internet after installing Windows updates

  Original title: can not access the Internet using the Chrome or Explorer once I have download & install the latest critical updates for Windows

  I have Windows 8 on my laptop.  I tried twice to leave my automatic updates (critical) download & install - once at the end of October and the second time a couple of days.  Once the download is finished and I have install (including my computer restarts), everything seems fine - but I can't access the internet with Internet Explorer or Chrome (which I prefer).  I had to run every time the system restore in order to retrieve my access.  Any ideas for why I can't update?

  Hi Patty,.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I appreciate your efforts to try the methods provided.

  I suggest you to update the network adapter and the drivers from the Chipset and try to install the updates of Windows and check if the problem persists. If the problem persists then try to run the troubleshooters.

  See the link below to install the drivers: (make sure you install the drivers for your computer model, such as the model number, you have provided is not specific, because there are several models under laptop HP Pavilion G6)
