  • Vista forced me to install updates - now, my laptop won't start even

    This morning forced Vista my laptop to install the latest updates... and then everything went * pfff *.

    my laptop attempted to restart - exceeded the screen with the Green loading bar, and then he stopped, leaving a black screen.

    so I forced a stop, restart and vista suggested 'launch Startup Repair' I did. Several times. Sometimes it ends and suggests what to do a "system restore." so I press 'ok' - then it tells me that it cannot restore the system.

    I know that's not a problem with the memory because I managed to run the memory-default-checker tool

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    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.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

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

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Last rocket installed update - now the "rocket" is not recognized in Windows XP. (SOLVED)

    Good morning-

    The latest version of the rocket via our Vista laptop to the library.  We are stuck with dial-up at home

    The "rocket" says it has firmware ver. 02.02.28A.

    When I brought this back home, our main PC, which works under XP, ceased to recognize the "rocket".  I mean, nothing.  We don't get the small USB icon in the systray, no devices appear in 'My Computer', and the "rocket" is not even start charging!

    Fortunately, it always works on the Ubuntu PC.  The only difference is 9.04 was a little i-Pod-search icon neat on the desktop.  Now, I get an icon that looks like a piece of paper.  It's kind of weird, but at least it still works...

    EDIT: Another post said to check the USB Mode - apparently the update of the firmware put USB Mode back to Auto-Detect.  I had set it to MSC previously.  Series MSC, transformed, plugged into the PC XP and everything seems OK.  In Ubuntu, I always get not icons cute i - Pod.  I will defer.

    The update of the firmware default always back to Auto-Detect.  Which means that if you have WMP 10 or 11, he should go to MTP mode, and if you have WMP 9 (comes with XP), it should go to the CSM. But Auto anything is not as trustworthy as DIY.

  • Cannot install updates oct on xp - after 10 minutes, I give up

    I have 3 xp machines. I put everything to be notified. I always click on custom for all 3 Setup.  2 machines without problem. my 3rd machine after clicking on custom, still works without ever finding updates. from here the machine is useless. CPU caps and stop the machine. After the reboot, I have to leave everything that runs in the background calm down until the machine is in use. right now only way of using the machine is not not to try the windows update. any ideas.  Thank you

    My problem may have been self-inflicted. I clicked on analysis customized for updates. After 10 minutes and no presented updates and scan still running, I thought more updates ms did not work so I've wound up and stop the machine, waited, and then restarted. tried to update again, same result. contacted support technique microsoft and after 2 hours of system restore and replacing a missing service, we tried to update again. Click on custom analysis, it took more than 20 minutes for the Member States to show the available updates. installed updates now just beautiful, maybe size updates and 100% cpu used to find and installed and the time all that it took just freaked out everyone (including me). Thanks microsoft should have given us a heads up that it could take some time.

  • Installed the Windows updates now sound does not work.

    I used the windows update Center yesterday and installed the updates that were for my computer, now my sound does not work. When I try and open "Dolby-Publisher of stars", I get this message:


    Any help tp fix it would be greatly appreciated as im am not very wise computer.

    Will,

    According to the scenario provided it seems that the problem is that you have updated the drivers for the audio device, but you have not updated the application (Dolby Home Theater - perhaps). If you have two choices, update the application to a version more recent or uninstall the installed update which is relevant to the audio driver (through programs and features - updated).

    See you soon.

  • haven't installed the latest updates now no audio

    I just updated the laptop and now no sound at all.

    Hello

    The "roll back" was the first thing I was going to suggest

    As it seems that the update problem is not just with the Audio driver, try the following.

    If you have Norton Internet Security installed, disable Norton Tamper Protection as described in step 2, on the link below.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20091112171719EN&LN=en_US

    Once you're done, shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Pick a point to restore before the updates that caused the problem have been applied (24 hours before if there is a point available) and then do the restore.  When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.

    Let me know the result.

    Kind regards

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.11, but Firefox still says "apply downloaded update now... "in the Help menu. How can I fix it?

    When Firefox 3.6.11 came out I wanted to update. I clicked "apply downloaded update now... "and then just rebooted without updating. I went to the download page, download the program installation and upgrade in this way. It worked, but now it still says "apply downloaded update now...» "in the Help menu.
    Why it does this and how can I fix this without losing my bookmarks and settings?

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update doesn't work does not correctly)

    Delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates:

    Vista/Windows7:

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
    
    • Download a new copy of Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    • Remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
    • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a (rei) installation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you decide to uninstall Firefox.

  • How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

    Question

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?
