• After that usual windows update 5.7.1 Lightroom 64-bit does not work

  Hello. I turned on my computer and it began with the usual stupid updates. After the update, the first thing I did was open to the top of lightroom. Lightroom came with a window in front of it saying "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts. "The only thing you can do is to click on 'Ok' when I do both this window and lightroom closes. I open lightroom several times only to have the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem. I restarted my computer, the same problem. I just use lightroom yesterday without any problem. I have 10 windows and that you've had for a while now. I have no idea what updates have been, but I know it's one of those usual often happens when you turn on your computer. Anyone know what's the problem? And how to fix it?

  This is not related to the update of Windows, the error message means that your preview cache is corrupt.

  With Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder containing your Lightroom Catalog, usually inside the photos / Picures my file.

  Delete the folder with the name ending by Previews.lrdata. Do not remove anything else.

  Now, launch Lightroom and previews are rebuilt when you browse the library.

• Windows Vista (64-bit) does not start.

  Last night, I installed the new McAfee antivirus due to having a virus that prevented the windows firewall to allow me to surf the net via my router (usually would work when directly connected to the modem). The antivirus has worked very well and I was able to access the internet very well. The rest of the evening consisted of me Star Trek Online patch and play a little of it and there was still no problem. This morning I woke up to find my computer screen in the the Startup Repair stating that it could not load Windows Vista.

  Here are the details given after that Startup Repair ends:

• "Review updates" Vista sp2 page does not load.

  My computer has windows Vista Home Premium sp2 32 x and updates are checked for every day. There are 2 updates important and 2 Optional updates listed at this time. When I try to "review updates" category either important or optional page does not load. It is a problem for several months now. I wonder what are these updates and why I am not able to view them. I am the administrator and the only user of this computer. It's not part of a corporation, company or home network...

  Hello

  I suggest that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.

   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:

  Test the issue in a clean boot State.

  Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

• Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

  Hello

  My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
  In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

  When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
  I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

  I hope you understand what I mean.

  The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
  He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
  He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

  Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

  > The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
  > It meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.

  That's nonsense for me
  The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
  There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

  You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
  Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
  LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
  But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

  But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
  Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

  It's strange - according to your profile page, this is your first post in the forums for answers. That being said...

  Please answer each of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions in a numbered list type in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

  1. What is the full name of your application or the installed antivirus security suite and when (date about) is your subscription current expires?  What (other than Defender) anti-spyware applications are installed?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  2 a Norton or McAfee application ALREADY installed on the computer?

  3. do you have a free trial Norton or a test of free McAfee [CHOOSE ONE ANSWER] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  4. open Add/Remove Programs and make sure that Show updates at the top is checked (and leave it checked); then select the name in the box sort by on the right. Now scroll down & tell me who, if necessary, the following updates ARE listed?

  (a) KB2698365, KB2718523, KB2691442, KB2655992 & KB2719985;

  (b) KB2699988, KB2685939 & KB2707511;

  (c) KB2676,562, KB2659262, KB2686509, KB2695,962 , & KB2718704;

  (d) KB2653956; KB2661637, KB2598479, KB2631813 & KB2585542;

  (e) KB2393802 and in particular the Update for Windows XP (KB971029).

  Most will appear as Windows XP security update , followed by the number in brackets.

  If IE8 is installed, one (1) appears as a security for Windows Internet Explorer 8 update , followed by the number in parentheses.

  5. is Firefox, Chrome or any other alternative browser installed?

  6. Update Java-Version 7 5 (or higher) installed?  TEST HERE in USING IE (only!)-online http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

  7. are you familiar with "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic;) System Mechanic; RegCure; RegClean Pro. Advanced SystemCare. Registry Booster; McAfee QuickClean. AVG PC TuneUp. Norton Registry Cleaner; PCTools optimizer; SpeedUpMyPC; PC Doctor; TuneUp Utilities; WinMaximizer; WinSweeper; Comodo System Cleaner. Advanced System Optimizer. CCleaner Registry Cleaner)?

  8 have you ever had the opportunity to do a repair install or clean install of Windows XP for some reason any?

  Download WindowsUpdateAgent7.6.7600.256 - 257.zip to your desktop (MS does not have the latest version of Windows Update Agent. Only 7.4.7600.243 so make us with this). (The moderator Edit: or this, for those who are reluctant to download things on non-Microsoft Web sites.)

  Unzip it, go to the folder and double-click RunMe - MakeInstallWindowsUpdateAgent.bat.

• Cannot use Windows Update, firewall, Live games. Suspects of virus?

  Hello

  I am currently using an Alienware M17x and there are a few problems.

  Recently, I downloaded a game requiring a signature in Windows Live games and order I had to update the client. However, Games for Windows Live could not update and gave me an error code of 0 x 80070424. I also got this same error code when I tried to turn on the firewall in pressinng the button "Use recommended settings" in the control panel > system and security > Windows Firewall page.

  I then tried to manually install the Games for Windows Live client, but he couldn't do it because 'a required Windows component is disabled on your machine. I checked the fix for this problem in the Microsoft Web site, and he asked me to locate the "Background Intelligence Transfer Service' in my services, which has proven to be missing. Also, the automatic update service disappeared.

  Another problem that I recently noticed was that audio files randomly the movies will begin playing while my computer is running. I first thought that it was a website or popup while I was surfing the net, but I closed all the programs I was running, and the noise continued to play. Goose bumps...

  I did some reading, and the closest thing I can relate to this is the Conficker Virus, but I hope that it is something more easy to remove...

  Any help is greatly appreciated, because this virus seems to be the stubborn type!

  You may need to restore the factory settings, so be sure to back up any data you want to save while you still can.  In the meantime, here are some things you can try.

  Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
