• Problem with the latest Vista Service Pack Update

  Recently, I have intalled SP2 on my computer.  It seems to work very well on my desktop, but when I installed it on my laptop, it went through step 3 Setup (after the break).  At this point, it says it installs and shows 0% installed for several minutes, date at which it says stop, then it restarts and goes to step 3 Installing and this all over again.  I read in the installation it would probably close and restart the computer several times.  However, after about 3 hours of this continuous stop and restart, I get the same result.

  I had to hard boot the computer date to which I tried to restart in 'Safe Mode '.  I thought take it back to a restore point and forget the update.  However, it continues to do the same thing and so I'm TOTALLY unable to use my laptop.  HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.
   
  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.
   
  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

• Windows Vista business is update, download and installation; even when the update is set to manual.

  I put the manual update manually. But despite this it keeps update, download and installation. Sometimes I turn off a few updates and suddenly, after a few hours, these unwanted updates begin to update! This is a joke, very annoying and the invasion of privacy!

• I'm having a problem with the Windows Photo Viewer!

  Hello

  My windows is not working. Whenever I tried to open a photo through the windows photo viewer. It shows an error massage.

  And here's the screenshot of this massage...

  

  So, I thought that there is something missing in the folder of windows photo viewer. And checked the file. And I saw that there is no file exe to the windows photo viewer. So, how it will run if there is no Executive file? After the second that tried to download this program net. It is not available anywhere. So please tell me how can I recover this file? How I open a photo through the windows photo viewer?

  You must identify the program, the pilot or the malicious program that uses the host to consume resources, but these system related processes is not a good idea.

  Read the technical notes for advanced malware cleaning (identifying your process) and download process explorer to help ID the source of the problem.

  There are resources within Windows for process ID using the columns PID, but I think process explore might be easier for you to use.

  You have access to a Windows Vista installation disc? If so, follow the steps in this document to perform an InPlace upgrade. This will reinstall Vista without making any changes to the files and programs on the computer. Even if your data and programs must be safe, it is always advisable to make sure that you have a recent backup before major changes on the computer.
