• Windows Update broke the card drivers and graphic display; Impossible to reinstall either.

  On 5 October, I installed two optional Windows updates:

  1 - display - nVidia NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT

  nVidia Display software update released in July 2010

  2 Samsung - display - SyncMaster 2494SW (digital)

  Updated software Samsung screen released in August 2009

  After installation and reboot, my screen resolution is now set to 1280 x 1024 (max resolution) and the monitor is not recognized in front of a default monitor. -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/display_settings.png

  I tried to install the latest nVidia on their site (258.96) drivers, and they say that they installed, but on reboot, there is no change.

  I tried to install the drivers for the monitor Samsung 2494SW, but he does not see a device to install the drivers on. -
  http://www.verityhw.com/Uploader/files/1/2494sw_driver.PNG

  I looked in the Device Manager and saw that there was an error with my nVidia 6600GT. -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/device_manager.png

  By clicking on properties, I see that the error is Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) . -http://www.verityhw.com/uploader/files/1/6600gt_properties.png

  Of course Windows has not completely stopped the device because I still have the graphics, although terrible ones.

  I looked at the drivers installed for the 6600GT and they seem to be the most recent of those (8.17.12.5896).

  At this point, I'm all out of ideas. Everything worked fine before the Windows Update and there is apparently no way to uninstall updates. (I tried to uninstall the drivers of the 6600GT, but it just keeps back to 8.17.12.5896's).

  Any help is appreciated!

• Cannot install the available WIndows updates

  I have the same 4 optional windows updates available almost every other day.  When I try to install them, they do not install.  But when I restart my computer that they do not appear in the 'available' but sometimes appear as 'failure' or 'successful '?  What does that mean?  Thank you!

  Original title: Windows updates

  So, what I finally ended up doing, is that I found a link in support of Microsoft 'Automatically reset the Windows Update components' and then scrolled down and clicked on the link that match my operating system and ran the "fix."  So I uninstalled the drivers who were involved.  Then I restarted my computer, the computer finds the drivers and when I went to double check for Windows updates, optional updates in question do not appear yet.  The Synaptics driver I had downloaded originally he had been incorrect he updated a Synaptics driver but it was different than the one I installed initially.

  So, long story short... In my view, this "fix" did fix my updates of Windows as so far, so good.

• Option tools/Windows Updates never return any update on my PC under Windows XP SP3

  Hello

  I have a question to get an update to Internet Explorer 8 tools/Windows Update option.

  My desktop with Windows XP Home PC, it crashed last week. I took it to a computer shop nearby for help. After that they have reinstalled Windows XP with SP3, I brought and installed other software, such as MS Office, Microsoft ForeFront Client Security.  However, when I tried to get the last Windows Update in the Tools menu of IE 8, it is not in the list, saying: "no priority update".  At first I thought that it would be because the computer shop had the last update as they claimed. However, after a few days without updating, I realize something was wrong because the other two XP machines home with Microsoft FrorFront Client on this subject are able to get the latest version of ForeFront security definition almost every day.  Also, it not there no update of Office, and two only in update in the list option.

  The WindowsUpdata.log, I saw some errors like below.

• BSOD on all options after starting windows updates running.

  I ran the windows updates last night I shut down my computer.  I remember it being about 12 updates to run.

  Windows Vista, 32-bit

  This morning, I rebooted my computer and during the loading sequence, updates continue (the non-graphical part) and then I got a BSOD.  I tried to run all the security modes and got the same message.

  I ran repair my system disk and got the message that he could not repair the version of windows.  I tried a system restore, but it said I had no save points.

  Is there a way to manually tell it that updates have been an uninstall from the reapir vista disk command prompt?

  The specific the BSOD error code is
  0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8264CB56, 0x803998CC, 0x803995C8)

  Any help which is not one of these answers canned that has a bunch of stuff I can't do since I can't on something else that the ERD would be useful.
  Thank you!

  In the end I solved it me - so if someone runs into similar codes - here is the summary:

  I ran Windows Update.
  On reboot the part of the update that runs in non-graphical mode full - then crashed by the computer.
  I got BSOD screens whenever I tried to boot in any mode.
  The specific error code is 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8264CB56, 0x803998CC, 0x803995C8)
  I tried the repair disk installation process - which could not find anything.
  I couldn't do a system restore point, because they were all gone.
  I called Microsoft - they were very nice, but their only solution was to re - install which was not possible for me.
  I downloaded and created a boot cd on another computer that could run antivirus software.
  The disc has been call BootCD Secured2k - there is a forum on the Mcafee site about this.
  I used it and found a Patched - atapi.sys trojan that he removed from the case.
  (Reading between the lines - this thing has been disrupted by the Microsoft Update that caused the mess)
  Then I got a new problem starting with the error code: 0x0000007b 0x80399bb0
  Same problem of being unable to boot in any mode.
  Same problem of being useless installation disc repair.
  After leaving it for a few hours, it occurred to me that perhaps when atapi.sys, that Trojan has been deleted the file was so.
  I connected the command line available from the installation disc advanced repair options.
  ATAPI.sys had indeed disappeared.
  I used the X:\windows\system32\drivers\atapi.sys and copied on my C:\Windows\system32\drivers.
  And presto! -my windows starts with happiness and everything seemed to work.
  (Why can't notice of repair of microsoft one missing disk or messed up file atapi.sys?)

  Unfortunately a few days later I noticed the Windows updates not working and I couldn't go even this part of the site.
  I tried everything I could think of and failed.
  So I called Mircorosoft again.
  We spent an hour on the phone and they found the problem this time!
  I used OpenDNS as my DNS provider for performance of problems caused by Time Warner.
  For some reason any OpenDNS blocking any attempt on my end to reach the Microsoft Update sites.
  I went from Microsoft recommended DNS and my computer was happy again.
  Everything has been happy since.

  And just to prove that I learned my lesson - I bought Norton Ghost and tries to configure full backups regular since the system restore point says that it don't work for me (I have a vista upgrade a XP Home machine on a FAT file system)

  So:
  Secured2K bootable anti-virus CD (and you can run other analyses of viruses such as PA recommended wear)
  If ATAPI. SYS is removed or bad - I copied it from the disc command prompt install.
  If you Microsoft updates stop working and you can't reach their windowsupdate.microsoft.com - check your DNS.

  Hello.

  I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.

  Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226

  I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.

  With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.

  I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.

  Below chose correctly when the new program installed today.  That's how I still want the settings to be:

  Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install

  Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.

  There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.

  Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.

  Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.

  Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)

  Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.

  Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)

  Allow all users to use installed on this pc.
  
  Option 3: (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.)  If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)

  Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows

  Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).
  
  See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Hello

  The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.

  1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.

  2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.

  3. it will let you know when they become available.

  4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.

  Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

• Optional features of Windows cannot be enabled or disabled, hidden Windows updates cannot be uninstalled

  (!) Refer to this post: Windows Media Player enabled at startup interferes with sound, video, and other sources

  Obviously the Vista Home Basic SP-2 (optional) Windows features is more damaged than expected? None of these options has tried several times using different techniques can be enabled or disabled. I also had similar problems with uninstall some windows (and hidden) updates so I can reinstall them (including Service Pack 2: Windows6. 0-KB948465 - X 86) and 'can' be related.

  After the attempt to turn an optional feature on or off (to speed up Vista, is not necessary, or is necessary), in this case: "an error has occurred, not all features have been changed successfully." And it takes an unusually long time before it fails too? If I try to uninstall a Windows or hidden, in this case update: "an error has occurred. Not all updates have been correctly uninstalled"; but others were like "Silverlight" etc. If I try to reinstall Vista 5 languages SP-2 KB948465 Installer, I get: "the requested operation failed. A system restart is needed to roll back changes"ERROR_FAIL_REBOOT_REQUIRED (80070bc9).

  Even Windows updates failed to install Powershell 2.0, WinMF 2.0, and BITS 4.0 (read the post via the link above for more information). And if I do various attempts to troubleshoot and resolve these issues (and so on), the Blue error screen occurs finally.

  Other misc registry errors found; but were obsolete or left behind from the previous uninstall (not critical). Even in SafeMode with networking, all bet three errors have occurred (with startups and the services that are disabled; Microsoft services were 'hidden').

  The link in the installation of Service Pack 2 window (for more information on this specific error) goes to a Microsoft Support web page that explains this problem exactly as regards to SP - 2 mainly; Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366. But none of the solutions work or are applicable, since the system restore could not go back enough and I have not a Vista Home Basic CD (it is a second hand laptop that I will eventually replace it with another that has Windows 7, etc.). More Vista Service Pack 1 is already 'not supported' and SP-2 will soon follow. There is therefore no need to buy a CD to launch the "startup repair tool" (via another case).

  * Ironically the laptop works well overall, but some programs such as TVCenter6 are not able to function normally (DirectX. Net3 etc work fine) and require some resources that do not work due to the above problems. I can get on the internet using Internet Explorer 9 very well also (although Silverlight and Powershell etc. are required for certain functions to display or work).

  Please advise, Chris.

  Updated, I have invested in PC Health Advisor to 'fix' the registry problems; I was not able to manually set Windows features, specifically. When the computer reboots, I ran Windows Update and it worked again! Such that it auto-updated dot- Net Frame 3.5 Service Pack 1 (made in first), Powershell 2, WinRM 2.0, and BITS 4.0 etc.. I was so happy that I reinstalled Silverlight to Explore maps of Bing etc and tried again the functionality of Windows; no avail.? And he discovered damaged the account administrator; including commissioning elements "right-click" menu etc. (reinstall Vista SP2 manually failed too; almost from the beginning).

  To restore, I implemented a new admin account, renamed the one damaged, disconnected, connected to the new one, tested and deleted the renamed account; It worked! To retry the Windows features, the Admin account was again damaged. so I repeated these steps to restore Vista and had to address admin custom etc all over again just through (what is called "Aero" is enabled, but did not prevent the performance. Aero does not officially come with Vista Home Basic but gets 'active' to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9!).

  But in no way does this solve the problem base with features of Windows? I am amazed at how fast and responsive H.B. Vista Service Pack 2 is overall using less system resources; Despite this heart problem? And took a snapshot of what Windows Update installed completely. Fixed given by the support of third parties as a result of PC Health Advisor of the PC maintenance utilities (made by ParetoLogic I recommend instead if this ), has no also. And was not different from what I had already exhausted; stretching on the days. What I can possibly be "gone" which is at the root of the problem "of the Windows features" (as an option)?

  Update: I restarted PC Health Advisor several times: found and fixed more various defects of registry; found five obsolescent hardware device drivers (downloaded and installed updates for modem integrated, Realtek sound, "Value Added package" mass USB, Atheros wireless (WiFi); due storage manually remove the registry key for Toshiba VAP not in Control Panel?; restarted the laptop, did the account Admin is again ruined?) (in the same way; but not "Windows features" this time) And has been replaced with 'test' admin account for now. Revived the PCHA once again, found several flaws of registry; restarted; revived the PCHA (lack of only 1 minor registry this time and fixed), everything tested OK. Hard drive defragmented PCHA, put in place a third replacement admin account while remaining connected to test admin (deactivation and reactivation recent items starting reset not his "right click" menu). Running of new PCHA carefully before logging in a third new account Admin (health high, not mistakes; was then low mid level), connected off test, connected to the third replacement Admin account; realized that Windows Process Activation Service is not included in Vista Home Basic (SP-2). Windows Installer module did not work and can not be started; then I opened the Manager of tasks in administrator mode and managed to do the work. I downloaded the Vista CD torrent; but it requires a blank CD for this (and so on).

  Nothing has worked? The only solution found online so far is to reinstall Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2 edition, which is not possible (for the reasons). There must be a way to run a downloadable and OS utility repair record; When I discovered Reimage (point com) I peut buy as a last resort. If it does not reach the root of the problem and fix it, or if the Microsoft technical support cannot? I have no recourse but to buy another laptop (with OEM Windows 7 preinstalled; which is cheaper on this Toshiba Satellite A135-S2276 level).

  If I find anything else I will update this post (still pending from Microsoft to answer this question and other positions).

  Here are the latest steps taken to solve this problem that many there have also, as follows:

  (!) If you want to try this yourself, omit all deletes registry keys tried except «VistaSP2...» (for a total of 5 to 7 keys).

  (*) I kept those strictly for FYI purposes, while one who is also having this problem may avoid in go through what I had.

  (*) If I had known 'VistaSP2-... (KB948465) "is the correct name for the key (s) Service Pack 2, I could avoid all others.

  A ran the other (3rd party) utilities and other tasks, admin account is damaged is no longer; but root question remains?

  Tried to install standalone 5 new SP-2 languages. but not with the same "error in registry" repeatedly?

  Removed 50 updates beginning with the top of the list of MSW that Vista is back (all), because of the error in config.

  About 9 keys starting at the bottom this time and worked until I got to this key, that I could not remove the abduction:

  Update for Windows KB949939 did not have an uninstall option and may not be removed in high regedit.

  Changed permisions them key to 'force' a delete (changed owner, granted full control to the 'administrators').

  Removed other keys at the bottom of the install MSW list but standalone SP2 has not yet (in the same way).

  Found another potentially corrupt key with no. Uninstall KB938371. a 100 + instances of it and were withdrawn.

  Find more cases of this key (/ multilingual country) and changed "permissions" to remove all.

  A ran a search of all keys to make sure that all were completely removed from all categories; in the record high.

  Continued with the uninstallation of updates of DSM of the last upward; revived after all the few (which prompted the it).

  But still, the standalone Vista SP2 installer has failed in exactly in the same way? (following the removal of updates).

  Found and removed three updates DSM more with no uninstall option: KB937287, KB955430, Windows Search (4.0).

  The second key was part of the first? Removed a little past these, restarted, SP-2 (run as Admin) has always failed.

  High Ran regedit in mode 'permissions' to delete the keys to potential RETICLE; Search 4 uninstall appears!

  Deleted 4 research and restarted Installer but SP - 2 has not yet? Uninstalled four updates more in the list.

  The following entry is Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB948465), but he is damaged and cannot be uninstalled?

  This must be the problem, given that some of the deleted key had to do with "iCBS; has run high regedit.

  Used exactly the same procedure to manually remove the keys to Vista SP2 with care; but there were too many entries!

  Revisiting previous research, I realized that these keys starting with "VistaSP2 -" can be deleted. It worked!

  Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB948465) was finally removed from the list of updates installed after discount!

  Removal of two more MSw update to make sure it not more corrupt Scriptures; the Service Pack 2 Setup program has gotten away.

  But it suddenly abandoned shortly after the file copy process has started with the same error of registry; restarted.

  It worked! Everything was great when a system error suddenly interrupted the installation but 0x80070bc9 error has disappeared!

  The Setup dialog window prompted "0x800f081f' with more information on the Microsoft web site.

  Again running the preparation tool for the system Vista (Home Basic SP-2) update to fix "missing component CBS.

  Run the Vista SP2 installation program again, process installs other Microsoft Updates; but everything stops in the same middle point?

  Reran the tool again, rebooted, re-run Setup of Service Pack 2, same event occurs: error system 0x800f081f.

  CheckSUR log file lists 10 (f) CBS Watchlist missing package and 441 (f) CSI lack of deployment total key.

  According to the research done on this error, the only 'solution' again is to reinstall Vista Home Basic SP - 2 ed?

  And the two service items Microsoft Office Service Pack 2 Setup, I had already tried with the initial error.

  The irony is that the laptop works better than ever, but specific programs such as TVCenter6 will not work?

  Made of in-depth research on the error "0x800f081f" etc. (occurs with SP1 install also FYI); run the tool again.

  Remains found components for Vista SP1 not in the list of updates installed therefore some errors checkDUR.

  Used the same technique above to remove "VistaSP1-KB936330 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 6.0.1.18000; iCBS but left.

  Again running PC Health Advisor, this time in high fashion, analyzed twice, found 14 registry errors and fix them.

  Who finally authorized the second error to install SP - 2. ("0x800f081f"); but still, Vista SP-2 does not go to reinstall?

  A run PC Health Advisor; found No registry errors either. If the Admin account is stilldamaged .

  I'll keep this account as it is until what I hope to be the final solution be found; and implement a new Admin then.

  Curiously, now it almost immediately invites "SP1 must be installed first" and is a sine qua non for SP - 2.

  As with Service Pack 2, SP 5 languages-1 has been downloaded; SP - x causes complete multilingual features to win at "overpoll".

  Service Pack 1 abandoned installation (already installed); ran high regedit and delete all sets of keys KB936330 (about 50).

  SP - 1 still wouldn't reinstall; used high regedit to remove the many KB936330 key sets and subs as possible.

  But Vista SP - x abandoned always with the same alert. only to discover 'integrated Service Pack 1 cannot be uninstalled?'

  Never after deletion so mamy keys manually, SP-2 (and SP1) was still as installed; in the box of Winver.

  After keys deleting both remaining SP - x, I realized it was unnecessary; and others deleted inadvertently.

  All this could not uninstall Vista Service Pack 2 (SP-1) to be (re-) installed to fix the underlying problem.

  After reviewing tried everything so far to see what can be done; I ran the uninstall of the elevated command line.

  But the result is the same; the prompt returned in a few minutes, but SP - x via GUI can take more than an hour?

  Conclusion: after finally getting the method calls BACK to (re) - install Service Pack 1 to work, it failed at the end!

  "Mode and on the process in an automated"undo"install", records were destroyed during the restart.

  Apparently, this version of Vista Home Basic was integrated (installable)? SP-1 and requires the CD (OS)!

  If I had known this all along, I would have improved (at least) to Ultimate. Which is exactly what the person I gave

  the laptop used far have done without any problem (less a video cable that fell off under the keyboard).

  How Microsoft can come up with such a version (SP - x) for (laptops), this are not equipped with CD?

  Because without it, there is no way to fix problems like this an 'off' (via Windows Upgrade also) internet.

  This case is classified as insoluble with regard to the original question.
