• Global problems with IE crashing after installing the latest updates from Ms.

  After the installation of the last series MS Updates, we are seeing users get first notification DEP for Windows Explorer (using IE7), then an other error message stating that Windows must close THE Explorer. What happens when users try to access our portal Citrix Presentation Server SSL/VPN.

  Hi Chad t,

  Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on a system.

  The main advantage of the DEP must help prevent the execution of code from data pages. In general, code is not executed by the default heap and the stack. Hardware DEP detects code that is running from these locations and throws an exception when execution occurs. Software DEP can help prevent malicious code to take advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows.

  Microsoft does not recommend to Turn off the Data Execution Prevention (DEP).

  For more information on DEP, you can access the link below for the blog that talks about the DEP and the DEP/NX problems.
  http://msdnrss.thecoderblogs.com/2009/10/10/understanding-depnx/

  As you mentioned it started after the updates, I also suggest you to uninstall Internet Explorer and put it back manually and see if the problem persists. Access the links below for the steps to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer 7 respectively.

• Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition "scan stopped by user" message after you have installed the latest update of Microsoft Security

  I run Symantec AntiVirus Corporate edition 2002 (build version 8.00.9374). The following problem, I discovered yesterday (May 13) when my analysis system and antivirus weekly update is scheduled: from an analysis of the system, the scan box opens and immediately stops, displays the message "scan stopped by user", followed the date & time and all control buttons are grayed out (not functional) with the exception of the close button.

  The only change that took place in my PC has been the download and installation of the most recent update Security for Windows XP (KB978542) which is described as: "critical Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-030 - vulnerability in Outlook Express and Windows Mail could allow Code execution (978542) remotely.
  (url: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS10-030.mspx)

  I tried to uninstall the security update; uninstall - reboot - reinstall - Live Update of the antivirus application. do a system restore point to return to the previous week - to no. AVAIL.

  I later identified this same, exact problem on 3 other computers running XP with sp 3 which just installed the latest update from security Microsoft.  I would be grateful to any suggestions on how to remedy this situation.  As a newbie to this forum, I would appreciate if others copy this assignment to other sections of the Symantec and Microsoft sites that could give him this attention important issue.

• After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too big for my moniter

  the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

  After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too large for my moniter the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

  Sounds like something in the update causes a conflict with your video driver or change the resolution settings.
   
  The first thing to do to solve the problem is to try to install each of the updates one at a time instead of let Windows Update do several updates together.  If you're lucky, the problem can not ride again.  If so, you'll know at least update is the cause of the problem.

  If the problem persists, try right click on an empty area of your desktop and select properties to open the display properties dialog box.  Select the settings tab.  Look to see if the screen is correctly identified and if the resolution seems correct.  If you spot something wrong, change to the correct setting.  If everything looks correct, you can try to change the resolution to see if that can solve the problem.

  You can also check the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card to see if they have an updated display driver.  Updates of the operating system only sometimes work correctly if you have the latest version of the drivers for the various components.

  If all else fails, you can uninstall the update one that is causing the problem and mark do not show you this update again in Windows updates.   Doing so will be considered a last resort - especially if the update in question is one of the security updates.

• The computer hangs after installing the latest updates

  I installed the latest windows updates.  Restarting my computer later, since hanging / freezing for half a second every 2-3 seconds.  I notice it more while trying to move the mouse or by watching a video (someone who speaks seems to stutter on about every 5th Word).  The computer clock has also been slowing.  He gets about 10-12 minutes behind before he catches upward.  When I look at the Task Manager, I do not take a lot of cpu.  Restarting the computer didn't help.  I've never had this problem before.  Any suggestions?

  Often by rebooting the computer solves an immediate problem.

  Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

  You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

  A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• Windows Explorer hangs for a long time after the installation of the latest updates from Microsoft

  Hello!

  Yesterday, I downloaded and installed the latest Windows updates on the Web from Microsoft by using Windows Update.

  After that, I see a strange thing from time to time.

  Sometimes when I open Windows Explorer or on a list of logical drives reader app, the hangs of the application for 10-15 minutes (not answer).

  While it hangs, other applications can function normally if they don't read the list of drives, for example, I can use Internet Explorer at the same time.

  The appearance of the problem is unpredictable, it can happen after 10 to 20 minutes of work after the reboot, or even after 1-2 hours of labor.

  My OS is Vista Home Premium x 64, laptop Pavilion dv7 - 1157 cl.

  At the moment I don't have any antivirus software or third party drivers (I configured factory drivers only).

  Event log Windows contains no error messages, all devices are displayed in device in the form of work normally without errors management.

  I ran the test of memory with the memory diagnostic tool, it found no errors.

  Here is the list of the installed Windows updates.

  Do you have any suggestions? There may be a problem already known with some updates?

  Hi Stuart,

  I see that the computer hangs at random after installing some updates. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. what security software is installed on the computer?

  3. which windows update has been installed recently?

  Let us try these steps and check the status.

  Method 1.

  Start the computer in safe mode with network and run a full scan of computer viruses.

  Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

• After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

  I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

• HP's envy with Intel Core i7 processor: new HP Envy with core i7 crashes when you sign after accepting the latest updates from HP.

  My new HP Envy worked very well and the HP updates became available, so I accepted their. 85% of the way through the updates, I lost wifi capabilities and updates stopped. A message popped up that I needed to restart. I did it. It seemed he was installing the updates normally but then it just hung. I let it sit for probably an hour. I then had to force a reset to get out if the State suspended. When he returned to the top, he got to the login screen. After my password, it showed the circle of activity moving, but then after a minute or two, he went to a black screen with the exception of my mouse cursor. He never leaves this State except when I press CTRL-ALT-DELETE. If I select Sign Out, he is suspended in this State. If I click on the Task Manager, it goes back to a black screen and does nothing.
  I just bought this laptop at Christmas through Costco and use it for work. I've usually save it once a week or more. My guess is one of something foires HP updates. If there is a way to get to a point where I could go back, that would be great.

• I can't sync my iPhone 4S with my Macbook Pro more. It became a problem after installing the latest update.

  A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded my iPhone version 9.2 and iTunes on my Macbook Pro version 11.4, and now I can't get my iPhone to sync with my Macbook Pro. Whenever I connect the two devices, I get an error message that says: "the 'IPhone of John' iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. "

  I tried a lot of things, starting with resets hard and finally erase all data and settings of my phone, but without success. I would use an iTunes backup, but he refuses to communicate with my iPhone.

  Is anyone familiar with this problem? Thanks for your time.

  You you make sure that you run version 12.x iTunes on your Mac? If your OS x cannot run iTunes 12, you cannot synchronize your phone more set to update to iOS 9.x

• I can't boot after installing the latest win xp updated system - missing or damaged/system32 hal.dll

  I have win xp and that you have installed the latest updates 7 system - now I can't start.

  I get the message:

  Windows didn't start because what follows is missing or corrupted /system32/hal.dll

  I don't have a CD system - which can do? everything I read said to alter, copy, etc., but since I cannot start, I can't do it all.

  Help me please, thanks

  XP trying to tell you that it cannot find the file.  It is extremely likely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged (XP just cannot find it).

  You should not have the Windows XP installation CD for this problem.

  It is very unlikely that the manufacturer will be able to you provide a XP installation CD, but contact them if you wish.

  What would you do if YOU were the manufacturer?  Communicate with yourself?

  The instructions in this link to replace the hal.dll file are bad, bad, bad.  If you follow them, you will need to replace the hal.dll file, but it will not be the correct hal.dll file.  There are 7 possible hal.dlls on the Windows XP CD, and check out the generic hal.dll file won't be one you need unless you run a virtual machine.  Clearly, the technical support engineers have never actually solved this problem.

  Notice that the thread is not marked as 'response' by the original poster, but by a moderator of the Forum after a period of 5 to 10 days of inactivity where some MSE posted a link to a few articles in the KB (this is how things work here).

  You should start by making a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r first just to be sure of the file system NTFS is not damaged.  Then see if you can start after that (maybe it won't).

  THEN, you must use the Recovery Console to rebuild your boot.ini file.  I would like to rename the file c:\boot.ini first then you don't rebuild on top of the afflicted (this part is missing from the article).

  I can't understand why Microsoft support engineers seem unable to display instructions to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton and Spybot.
  AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console:

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  If you still have the same problem (likely), then the value rebuild your file c:\boot.ini as article says here:

  Hi derlonewolf,
   
  Because you performed a System Restore you would not be able to determine which update problem from occurring. You will have to wait for the update to your computer to determine the update that caused the problem. The update does not necessarily cause the problem to occur again. However, you can view the history of updates to updating history.
   
  1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
   
  2. click on the link to view update history.
   
  3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
   
  (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.
   
  (B) click on close when finished.
   
  As far as the question of timing is concerened, you can scan SFC on your computer and check if the problem persists.
  
  Steps to perform a scan SFC:
   
  1. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow
   
  2. type the following command and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  [The command sfc /scannow. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.]
   
  A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time
   
  3. If all the files require that a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue
   
  4. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
   
  5. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
   
  Check the link below for further guidance on scan SFC - mentioned
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
   
  You can also make manual updates instead of automatic updates and then see what are updates will be installed on the computer.
