  Hello

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

• OS Vista - configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  My laptop ACER Aspire 5610 in a loop of update configuration for three days now.  Don't have a Vista installation CD as provider did the installation.  Have tried all the safe mode restarts without success.  The display is still in phase 3 of 3 endless loop.  Ideas to fix/repair or recover data from disk hard 160 GB I need to keep?

  I want to thank everyone for friendly advice and assistance information.  After a few days (of frustration for me) and your continuous encouragement, I have finally overcome this "infinite loop".

  What worked for me was downloading neosmart.net for work properly CD/DVD burner.  I tried initially using my office old CD drive, but I forgot that it was a device to read-only and wouldn't be able to burn a copy of the restore CD.  I found a DVD burner work to correctly copy download neosmart.net.

  It took several boots cold on the laptop with the recovery CD as well as access 'shift F6', then quickly by "any key" for the necessary recovery menu.

  On Google, I noticed that this "configuration updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete." has been on Vista for 2008.  It is almost of 2012 and it always creates problems?

  America happy Thanksgiving!

• Windows does not start more-IE 9 update failed

  After you have installed the Windows updates, I received 10/09/2014 my computer erased, and then wouldn't boot.

  After waiting for about 20 minutes, nothing is was so I used the button to turn off the computer. When I rebooted I gave me an option to use the Startup Repair tool, I did. It is yet to start, but then I was given an option to the startup repair using System Restore. I clicked 'Yes' to that, but it seemed to me that Startup Repair has just kept running and it ends by told me to click on 'continue' and if the Startup Repair has been able to repair my computer should start.

  It finally began. The first thing I did was to check the Windows updates and it shows 6 7 updates succeeded. However, Windows Update face page shows that I have 7 important to install updates.

  The update that is shown is failed is Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista, KB2977629.

  Then what should I do? History displays 6 of the 7 successful updates but Windows Update I still 7 updates to install. I'm a little afraid to go and install again since my computer does not start after the first try.

  As I said, I need help. My computer was working fine until I tried to install the updates.

  Very well.

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  When I try to perform a repair of the system, I get the following message:

  If you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer. If you continue to see this message, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  (It has no attached device).

  System Restore has failed. The system files and settings on your computer did not change.

  Details: The system has failed because of an unspecified error.
  Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF)

  If I try another date, I sometimes get this message:

  Not enough memory is available to complete this operation. (0x8007000E)

  I get: "there's a system repair pending which requires the restart ends." Restart Windows, and then run the sfc.

  (I restart my computer, but it still won't let me inot Windows).

• Windows does not recognize tv as audio device after it has been turned off and turned back on.

  I have my computer hooked up to a HD TV with the HDMI cable.  The sound also pretended on television.  The HDMI cable is connected to my Radeon HD 6950.  I use Realtek HD Audio Manager with the ATI HMDI default Audio device.  All records are up-to-date.

  When I put my TV off and leave the computer running, I go back and turn on the TV and the computer behaves as the TV is not plugged, but only for audio.  The video is still there.  In the audio playback window, I noticed that Windows would go to the optical audio device, even though there is nothing plugged into this Jack.  I disabled all other devices and left only the HDMI device, so it will not move on.  Now when I turn on the TV it is just like nothing is plugged in at all for the audio.
  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello
   
  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
   
  2. which edition of Windows are you running?
   
  Example: Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.
   
  It could also be a possibility that a manual entry is required from your TV to the HDMI connection, please check your Menu\setting where the HDMI and PC connection is checked once it is connected to options to switch the Audio and TV screens.
   
  Please follow the steps mentioned below to help solve the problem.
   
  To disable improvements audio speaker

   
  a. open sound by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type soundand then click on sound.
   
  b. on the playback tab, click speakers, and then click Properties.
   
  c. click the enhancements tab and then select the check box turn off all the improvements .
   
  If you do not see the enhancements tab in the speakers Properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.
   
  If disabling audio enhancements solves the audio problem you are having, this indicates usually that your audio driver needs to be updated.

• Why is that now, when I click on a link for a Web site I have saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I don't and then drag it to an email to share the link.

  How is it that, in these new versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I opened a link that I recorded, it does NOT display the URL in the bar of addresses?

  I can't drag and drop the link in an email, and I don't see the actual address that I'm connected to for reference OR for security reasons. Why is - this has changed?

  It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link that I saved, by using the 'Properties' window, then copy and paste the URL in the address bar of Firefox, until I can do something with it.

  I had the same problem. Looked at all the addons and extensions referred to in the conversation between philipp and dadmr. All extensions and plugins off and on again with each shot. Problem has been resolved by disabling app 1.0.85 Goodshop and RealDownloader 1.3.2.28. It may be that these versions were outdated, but were postponed during the upgrade from previous versions of Firefox. I hope this helps.
