DNS stopped working after the latest Vista updates

Yesterday my Vista Home Premium has been updated by Microsoft through the automatic update process. After the update and reboot network stopped working. I was able to trace this DNS no longer works. I was unable to solve the problem until I supported updates, after which the system returns to normal operation.

Now, of course, updates want to be reinstalled, but I don't want the network to fail again. Any ideas?

Change how to get updates:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

Understand the Extras in Windows Vista and Windows Update info is at the link above.

Right click on those you don't need > UAC prompt > it hide.

Never install party hardware driver updates 3rd through Windows updates.

Go to the manufacturer's website, instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista 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.

See you soon.

  • My device audio stop working after the installation of update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198)

    Hi, since Windows Update automatically installed this patch my audio device stop working. It does not appear in Device Manager. I've restored the system to a previous point and works now. I have disabled the automatic updates of Windows, but I really appreciate if Microsoft Support could check this because at some point, I will need to continue the update of Windows (because of several security mistakes!).

    Thank you!

    I restore my system to an earlier point and did not work! After several hours of searching for a solution in the web I realized that (fortunately!) I had a copy of the registration precedent and do a comparison, I noticed that some missing case book lines:

    In

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_02 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0002\

    The 'Control' key with a string value 'ActiveService "=' Modem' was absent.

    Also in

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5051 & SUBSYS_103C30D6 & REV_1000\4 & 38993660 & 0 & 0001

    I added a 'Control' button with a string value "ActiveService" is"ksthunk".

    Finally, I restart my system and Windows again recognizes my camera and the driver installed!

    Of course this solution depends on the machine you have. I have a HP Pavilion dv2000 with Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221.

    I hope this helps someone!

    Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated.

    I tried to reset firefox and search for similar problems, unfortunately found nothing.

    Firefox 30 spent some less commonly used "Always turned on" plugins "asking to activate. To check and change this to TrueSuite, you can use the page modules. Either:

  • 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?

  • HP ENVY laptop - 15-ae178ca: Second monitor stopped working after the automatic update of HP

    I use my laptop with a second monitor (HP Pavillion 22xw) connected by HDMI. It was working fine until yesterday (including yesterday it worked), when a message from automatic upgrade HP was shown to informing him that the system needs to be restarted. After that, my second monitor stopped working. The system will not identify it more. I tried another cable, I rebooted several times, I tried to update the specific Intel graphics driver, I tried to uninstall and install manually another (I can't get this one done, because when I run manually downloaded driver there is a message saying that I need to contact the manufacturer). Please notify that I need my second monitor is fully functional!

    In the last two days my printer has stopped working after many updates to Win 10.  Functions in fact any printing has stopped (swirling points) to include my PDF SW.  I downloaded the last SW all-in-One and tried to install it.  The first thing that happened is that he tried to remove the previous SW.  Hooked to halfway through it.  Then, it was a nightmare.  I can't get the rest of the SW uninstalled nor can I install the latest SW.  I even tried to install the previous SW in Win 7 compatibility, but after extraction it just stops.  Tried to install the current version in Win 8 conpatibility, but it also wrong on.

    Any ideas wher can I start?

    1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
    2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
    3. Download the software and choose to save money, save it on the desktop: all-in-one printer, HP Officejet Pro L7550
    4. After downloading software and extracts, reopen the temp folder, use the instructions in step 1.
    5. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356)
    6. Open the folder Util
    7. The CCC folder
    8. If you have a computer HP run the L3uninstall.exe (or .bat).
    9. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
    10. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

  • USB mouse & keyboard stop working after the upgrade of Intel generic drivers drivers!

    Original Post: USB mouse & keyboard stop working after upgrade to generic drivers

    After you install Windows, the Generic USB controller drivers are installed. My mouse & keyboard as planned work & that are each recognized as "compatible mouse/keyboard HID."

    After I installed the Intel drivers for root USB controller, the mouse & keyboard stop working and are classified as unknown. Shortly after, they are considered HP USB Optical Mouse & HP USB Standard keyboard, however the drivers never properly install and they remain under unknown devices with a yellow exclamation point.

    I have searched high & low for these device drivers, they do not exist. I installed the drivers for all of the materials appearing on the site of the seller. This has happened on several computers, laptops and desktop computers.

    I've done all the troubleshooting I can think. Uninstalled all the controllers/USB hubs & restarted. Switched USB ports, I tried new mouse & keyboard, wanted Windows updates.

    The only way I can make it work is if I use the generic Windows drivers, who then recognized the mouse & KB "HID compliant". It seems that if I install Intel drivers, it recognizes the mouse & keyboard more in detail and he wants specific drivers to continue.

    Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
