• On my desk top and down arrows don't work, they don't work when plugged into my laptop.

  I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the folder of Win XP and personalized re-installed (request for information may not be transferred). To my surprise, my favorites were not gone. . Nor had the problem. The up & down arrows will work on Internet Explorer (which I use rarely).
  How can I remove totally Firefox before a clean reinstall as a first step to solve the problem?

  Try to hit F7 and see if it changes the action of these arrows.

• My computer is completely messed up after installing the latest updates from Microsoft. I need help/ideas to make it work again.

  Vista Business Service Pack 2
  32 bit
  2007-12-office
  Acrobat 9 Pro
  Adobe Design Standard CS4
  Sony Vaio

  I installed the latest vista updates today.  Three "important"; an option.  The optional parameter was an update of bluetooth toshiba.  We were talking about "platforms" that made me uncomfortable so I went to Microsoft and after reading it, I decided - based on little understanding - it was probably necessary.
  Shortly after, Acrobat 9 Pro wasn't working anymore. The computer asked me to restart after installing updates, but I have done a couple of things, including some e-mail.  During the attempt to send e-mail until I turned off the computer, Outlook flash he has been restarted and then the icon to install flash and then I could come back and type until the sequence started.

  I turned off the computer and when I rebooted, it did not start.  I managed to get it started; I run scandisk; now, when it starts to get a series of errors from Adobe for various Adobe programs that I installed on the machine all seem related to the "Automatic Setup" (or boot, I don't remember exactly.  I tried to re - install Acrobat and I get an error message that the 'source' is not available, and to ensure that it is - despite me using the installation disc, so I guess that it refers to the 'source' in Vista.  Outlook does not start.  He told me to use scanpst.exe to analyze the .pst files, but they seem to have disappeared.  I have tried other products of office except Explorer who started without problem.

  I can't use restore because it says that the disc is damaged and needs to be checked.

  Any ideas are appreciated.

  Uninstall the update for bluetooth.  Never use Microsoft device driver updates.  To avoid this does not happen, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/.

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.  Who can release the OS to do a system restore or other recovery options.

  Do you know when this problem started (probably with updates)?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  If none of these steps work, transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the people who specialize in updating the questions will be more than happy to solve your problems.  Don't forget to tell them what updates you downloaded and installed, and what steps you have already done to try to solve the problem.

  Good luck!

• my dvd/cd drive and all other removable drives are more recognized since an update from microsoft

  I need help! My CD/DVD drive has disappeared, it is not even in the BIOS, and all the other removable disks since I installed an update from Microsoft. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and nothing has worked, including the fix it. How can I fix it? I contacted Microsoft and back an email that I had to PAY for technical support to resolve this issue. Which seems hardly fair since there was an update on their part that messed up my laptop. I have a Gateway MX8738 with Vista Home Premium. I have not seen the error messages it just that there is no CD/DVD drive installed and when I check in my computer the only things that are displayed are the drives C and D.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
  both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
  power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
  and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case
  (Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). It's not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to not
  function, while others do so correctly.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates
  and the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys to what I believe are the ones in question - for the CD/DVD drive subkeys
  course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask involved specific keys
  as well as the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

• Change the path to the updates from microsoft updates vs. windows

  Fully updated, xp pro, ie8

  When you click Start, all programs, windows update, go to the updates of microsoft with the compatibility view

  which connection online for microsoft updates gets updates microsoft without compatibility view

  can I change the path for my start, all programs, windows updates to be updated from microsoft without view compatibiliy?

  Edit: have reinstalled os with a sp3 slipstreamed cd.

  Edit2: no sites are not listed in my compatibility view settings.

  There is no need to uninstall/reinstall MSE.

  1. open IE (only!) to Microsoft Update . Click change settings in the left pane. Scroll to the bottom of the page. To stop using Microsoft Update. Disable the Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

  1B. Reboot for good measure.

  2. your shortcut on the start menu should now be updated to Windows . [1] use it (not the Tools menu pull-down option) to go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate. Assuming that it does NOT open in compatibility mode...

  3. "Flip" your source of default update appropriate Microsoft update by clicking on the option / link on the main page of Windows Update (IIRC).

  3B. reboot for good measure & test to see if the Microsoft Update shortcut on your Start menu will however open IE8 in compatibility view.

  PS: I don't have a WinXP box handy to test myself, but the last time I used the Microsoft Update shortcut on one of my client computers, it has not opened in compatibility view. As far as I know, MS may have changed something since then so YMMV.

  =============================================================
  [1] If you persevere with Windows Update as a source of update by default, MSE will always be 'auto-update' [even thought that Windows Update will offer more optional updates Defs] but will offer no updates to the ESM (e.g. new versions MSE) program or updates for MS Office, Silverlight, or Skype .

• Disable the auto restart after auto update

  I can't express how frustrating, it is at the foot of two hours of hits for a drink, to return to my job cancelled by an automatic restart after Windows update. This kind of thing has happened several times. And as I have a Vista Home Premium, I did not have access to group policy to turn off. So guys, how to prevent windows to lose more of my work with its seedy characteristics? Thanks in advance.

• Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

  Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

  Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

  I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

  Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

  What should I do?

  Thank you!

  No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

  Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.

• Why can not download updates from Microsoft?

  I have a laptop that is running Windows Vista and I was not able to install updates from Microsoft for a long time. As a first step, what he did but one day, after an update it just stopped working. It will always fail, and sometimes I get a message saying that he does not configure so it. I solved this problem temporarily but just manually download the update from the Microsoft site that works but as of lately, I'm getting loads of updates (like 30 at a time) and it's just too many things to be updated manually. Also, I'm running in the updates that were as different versions (like x 64 KB34567 or KB34567 ie43) and I don't know which one I need. I would really like it if my computer would download these updates on their own. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  The update of Windows becomes boring because whenever I get the said I have a ton of important updates for Microsoft, but then I can't download them so he just keeps popping up.

  You receive errors related to updates?

  1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
  2. In the left pane, click view update history.
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed
  3. Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
     Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
  4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.
  5. Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

  my xp pro laptop will no longer updates from Microsoft. I tried the automatic correction of Microsoft and a manual fix listed but not affect?

  This may have been following a 'clean' without a backup registry.

  Hi,

  It would help if you provided the WHOLE message and CORRECT, including all codes completely written word for Word - this can often help us identify the problem.

  If you think you know when it started, and it is recent, then see if a system restore to before that the problem will work.  If you use Windows 7, seehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, seehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. Sometimes this simple process made the rounds and sometimes that doesn't help - but it is easy and worth if she has recently begun.

  When everything is fixed, get rid of any program you use to do a cleaning of the registry.  Even if it wasn't the cause, it could easily be the next time.  It is poisonous to your system and is not necessary because Windows is a research work on its own.
