• Firefox don't appear or start on my XP PC after an automatic update (12/02/2014?); IE appears but freezes. Always have access to the e-mail. Advice to restore Firefox?

  The morning after the automatic update, my XP PC monitor had a black solid (or was it blue?) screen with only the arrow cursor visible. Move the mouse did nothing except move the arrow cursor. I rebooted and fortunately the Windows logo appears, and I was able to access all the programs I normally use except Firefox. When I click on the Firefox icon in the XP boot screen, the arrow cursor turns into the hourglass. The hourglass stay right there. Firefox can run in an alternate universe, because when I ran CCleaner, I received a message saying that Firefox took a long time to close, and I want to force it to close.

  I'm still able to send and receive emails, which indicates the Internet access. However, with no visible browser, I don't know how to connect to my XP PC Web sites. How can given these limitations, I go about restoring Firefox on my XP PC?

  Thank you.

• computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night

  Hi, Kevin

  My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.

  I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?

  Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?

  Thank you!

  Call or contact the manufacturer of the system since you are using an OEM version.

  Hello

  Make sure that you do not install hardware 3rd party via windows update drivers

  they are normally not up to date and can cause computer problems

  change the way you receive updates and check what you install ad if you don't not right-clicking on UAC prompt you to hide it:

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

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

  and if you're still stuck in a loop non-Boot read these methods on how to try to fix it:

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Hi, I have a Dell 14R with Windows 8, standard configuration.  After the automatic updates pushed on 06-04-14, computer laptop start behaving strange - not able to connect to any external website.  Home page only on a browser worked.  Troubleshooting auto did not find any problems.

  My computer refuses to open Lightroom 6.3 after my software has been updated automatically by SM.  When I try to open Lightroom, I get a message dialog informing me that Lightroom has been checking the integrity of the Lightroom Catalog.  After 20 seconds of audit, the dialog box disappears and the Lightroom program does not open.

  When this error occurred initially, after the automatic updates of Windows Pro 10, I tried to fix the problem with Lightroom 6.2.1 opting for Lightroom 6.3.  After the Lightroom 6.3 upgrade, I am unable to open my Lightroom program and edit images.

• After the automatic updates of Windows8 all my files disappeared

  After that the automatic update performed by Windows8 about two weeks ago, that all my files were deleted, all system settings and favorites are gone. The image of the Office was changed, as well as the background was changed from green to blue. Well, I managed to find my files in a file system, it back office. However, today, I just restarted my computer and the parameters are all back as they were 2 weeks ago but all my files are gone for good. There were about 200GB, now my drive C/watch 390 GB free on 440 Go, so my all files have been deleted. No search engine can find them. They are all gone. I had saved in this project, I worked on during 2 months and have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. How Windows can delete something I never heard it? I have not updated, restored or anything like that. Quite simply, I rebooted my computer.

  Can any guru who created this Windows8 how to get the files that my career depends on it?

  Hi Jenny,

  To provide the proper resolution, I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you receive any error messages? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

  2. What is the item number knowledge base of the installed Windows Update recently?

  Method 1:
  If files are missing from the library, I suggest you try the following steps.

  (a) go to the libraries in Windows Explorer.

  (b)with the right button no matter what folder gives you an error.

  (c)delete the folder.

  (d)with the right button on the "libraries" folder

  (e), select "restore default libraries".

  The folder you just deleted will now be back and fully functional with all your documents safe and sound.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
