Many unwanted changes after an update

I use automatic update from Microsoft on my Vista system and the I / E browser that I use from time to time. MS did an automatic update last night. When I arrived this morning, half asleep, I first noticed a new screensaver. There were a lot of new things that I'm still digesting:

* 75% of the entries in the "Favorites" icon has disappeared.
* I half-installed the camera continues to send window messages saying that it has stopped working. I don't want now, but I can't figure out how to stop these messages.  Thatcher didn't happen before the update.
* Google Chrome been completely erased from my machine. I used it for several months. There was a lot of its equivalents of "Favorite places" that I'll never see again.

I'm afraid to look further to see what I've lost. I guess I could do that thing the system reboots, but who will just make me deeper?

What is the prudent thing to do right now?

I screamed everywhere on the Internet about MS do me it again. There was a plausible answer.  A guy who

maintains software for a lab said that to happen him on occasion. Sometimes the cause is this update

won't you bring back to the same Windows account go where to start the update. You're someone else

account and you don't know. The solution is to log on to Windows, then make sure that you enter in your account.

I'll try that the next time it happens. I hope it doesn't happen.

    Hello, Lukas

    Unfortunately there no public document on this subject, but if you see other topics, you will see the latest version fix some graphics issues and it is confirmed that the latest version fix this with success.

    I put t know why your last update of the BIOS has been without success, but when you do the BIOS update please remember there is no external device connected, and is very important to do with AC power only and not with power supply battery. Before you start with the update BIOS please Info how to do this.

    Good bye

  • GUI changed after Windows Update

    Updates installed fine (automatic) update, but after a "reboot" my taskbar on the bottom looks like in Windows Me. I do not like and I don't know how to change...

    does anyone have the same problems after updates?

    Hi PA bear.  Appreciate your advice I thank you for taking the time.

    After you have started in my PC this morning, the problem is now resolved itself!  I have the normal taskbar and the theme of return! I didn't do anything more after my comment previous, just stop and went to bed. And now by some miracle it is resolved...!

    Anyway, as mentioned, your help is very appreciated and I will make a note of the links etc. for later use.

    (Just to note Ref the idea of changing the theme manually to swican, I got the same options that confused cuddlecat - i.e. no vista in the themes option).

    all the best

  • Substantive changes after installing updates

    One of two security KB981322 or KB2347290 updates, although they install, change the characteristics of the background of the taskbar and the bar side (gadgets) and fact perhaps other more subtle display changes.  McAfee also immediately attracted a "spoolsv.exe" internet access request under XP, meaning that a Trojan horse tried to get access.

    Just restart. That's what I did and the problem went away. After rebooting, everything was back to normal. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2011 - Update Services

    After you have installed the latest updates of windows on 12/12/2012, my screen has changed. All the graphics have been expanded, including the desktop icons, taskbar, tool bars, bars of window, etc.. I checked the configuration of the monitor and the icon size in the taskbar and start menu properties (which remains set on small icons), but I can't find how to go back to my original display size.

    The installed updates were:

  • screen resolution changed after Windows update

    PC: Dell Vostro 220 s

    OS: Windows XP Professional SP3

    Monitor: Dell 2009WFP LCD, is the native resolution of 1680 x 1050 (according to CNET review)

    Problem: After an automatic update of Windows, my screen resolution has been changed to 800 x 600, where the police has been huge and fuzzy on the screen.  Then, I realize now the display settings only have 5 options, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1440.  The last of them is out of range.  So I put it to 1600 x 1200, but everything on the screen appears stretched.

    I tried system 1) at the earliest days of restoration, 2) unplug the monitor and reconnect the monitor, the monitor 3) download the Dell Web site WFP2009 driver, nothing works.

    Nothing has similar problems, how do I get the near resolution of 1680 x 1050, which is classified to the native resolution for this monitor according to the CNET Web site, and I vaguely remember what the maximum resolution in the display settings.

    Appreciate any help.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi mumimi,

    It seems that your system was shipped with Intel graphics card. As several drivers are appearing with exclamation points, I would say that you can download the latest drivers here-> enter the serial number of your system-> select OS--> download/install drivers in good order as given here.

    Please respond to the findings. He won't be far away.
