Do not open programs after installing Windows update operating system Windows Vista

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?

  • Can not recover partition after installing a new operating system

    I recently bought a laptop G62-a31so and it came with windows 7 x 64, from the beginning, it could not start most of the programs, they would break everything simply, I got the idea I want to install windows vista on, which works well with my previous PC, I planned to create discs of recovery beforehand, but I couldn't be bothered when I discovered he required 4! DVD-s and it says in your manual that I can recover my system at any time of the partition. So I formatted the partition that has windows 7 on it before and installed vista, then I discovered that you have some drivers vista for this laptop, I tried to return to the status quo by the recovery of the partition, you press ESC on startup, then f11 in boot menu, but he started just vista.

    I would like to know how I could restore my system to factory settings now?

    You can try this, which works for many people (not all) >

    1.right - click on the "Computer" icon and select manage.
    2. This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
    3. on the left side of the MMC console, click "Disk management" and it will show you all the partitions.
    4. right - click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Partition Active."

  • After installing Windows Vista, upgrades of office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with one third black.

    Original title: April 16 to restart my computer after installing Windows Vista upgrades, my office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with the third other black

    The whole office is there, but it is located in the Center, if the screen, with black bands at the top and bottom. By clicking full screen on the top right has no effect.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

  • SD card is not working properly after installing windows 10

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) with EL Capitan 10.11.5 and after I installed 10 windows using bootcamp, everything worked fine at first, but after I deleted my part of windows and then installed windows 10 the second time, the SD card is not working properly. She mounts only if the computer shuts down first, and then start. If I take the laptop directly, the SD card will not rise. The same thing happens when I switch systems using a control option key or bootcamp Center where when I switched to another system, the SD card that was mounted on the old system does not appear in the new system. I was trying to solve this problem remove the part of windows before you reinstall it again once, so I found that after I deleted the windows part, the problem is gone and it reappeared after installing windows 10 even once. I also found that after I installed windows the total volume of hard drive (128g front) became 121g.

    Hello LorinMax,

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know the importance of your work with your Macbook Pro SD card!

    If I understand correctly, you cannot use your SD card, unless you stop and then restart. Because this behavior started when you installed Boot Camp, I would start with the following steps:

    1. first of all, start by repairing your hard disk in disk utility to correct the unexpected problems that could be the cause of this behavior.

    Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

    2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

    3. According to Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide, you may need to back up your personal data and reinstalling OS X, then reinstall Windows via Boot Camp and related support files.

  • Cannot open/save to files and programs after installing Windows updates

    original title: Windows Update - major problems

    My daughter has an HP laptop.  She has downloaded the Windows updates and now she can't open most of its programs.  Those that it can open, will not work correctly.  Some won't let him save, some will leave him no open files she saved in them.  If she tries to delete any program in the Control Panel, add and remove, she receives a message that there is a mistake and that the program has already been deleted. (Even the programs that it can open, but do nothing). Some of its programs to tell him that she is missing a .dll file.  If she found on the Internet and she sees something she wants to save, she used to be able to right click and save, now it does not get the dialog box when it right click.  She uses Firefox not Internet Explorer.  When she downloaded updates, the resarted the computer as usual, but when he arrived at stage 3 of 3 it locked to 0% (with NO hard disk activity) and would not go further.  She let it harden for more than half an hour and finally pressed the power button to force it to turn it off.  When she turned her back on updates have continued as usual.  Is there a undate for the Wacom which was attached to the computer at a time. Everything worked fine before she comes to install the updates.

    Hello Mel_F,

    Thanks for your post.  Initially, we will execute the file system checker.  If that does not solve the problem, the next is to perform a Startup Repair.  Please let us know the results of these utilities so that we can help you get this resolved.

  • Could not start the desktop Vista after installing Windows Vista SP2, error: 0XC0190036.

    Original title: vista sp2 problem.

    I have a laptop that I haven't used in a while.  I took on a trip and received the message that the updates are available.  One was SP2.  After the update is complete, it failed to start with a message OXC0190036.

    Startup Repair said that he could not solve the problem.  Restoration of the system has not only restore - labeled SP1 and it allows you to finalize the restoration of files and stays there.  (I waited for 3 hours without change).
    I have a XP install disc that I used before installing Win 7 on my desktop, but it does not give me the opportunity to do an installation.
    Can enter the command prompt, I'm perplexed as to what to do.

    Hello

    XP disk will not help you to fix Vista

    As the system restore does not try a startup repair and / or a restoration of the system using a Microsoft Vista DVD

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/repair-Windows-with-Windows-Startup-Repair/

    Table of contents

    1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
    2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
    3. Advanced Tools Overview
    4. Conclusion

    If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

    Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

    Here is a link to it:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2011/Windows-Recovery-discs-updated-reinstated/

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • How can I restore my programs after installing windows Ultimate edition?

    Hello, I do a final install of custom windows and all of my programs will come... How to restore it for example my iTunes and all games

    You can not copy programs from one computer to another, you must use the original media. A program installer does not just create a program folder and copy the files into it. The installer will change the registry, set the permissions of folders and files, save the files in the library used by programs and create all shortcuts.

    Unfortunately the backup options that include all Windows restore itself prevent a clean install.
