  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

  I understand that you can not install some updates with the error message "failure of configuration of the Windows updates...". ». I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

  First place, according to the error message, I suggest you to try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.

• Windows 7 - preparation set up windows. Do not turn off.

  I got this new toshiba laptop with windows 7 and it starts up and started using it. activated the 30 days free trial norton, surfing the internet and worked on some pictures for my sister. When I went to close it it says something like "installation 59 updates ' he has done fast enough, then it turned off. I went to meet my sister and when I turned on the laptop, he said 'preparation set up windows. do not turn off"he was stuck on this for hours, about 2 or 3. I thought that maybe he was stuck so I turned it off. I turned it back and he was still stuck on this same configuration screen. I turned off then turned it back and went into safe mode. I did a restore to before the updates 59 which was only a few hours earlier. I restarted the laptop and it looked pretty good. then I noticed he was saying something about the norton is maybe defective. he wouldn't let me turn on the antivirus and firewall. he wouldn't let me enter the network. I can't get on the internet basically can't do anything. It seems to work, but it is not. now, whenever I stopped it it starts to install the updates and when I start it again, it goes to the preparation set up the screen. I even left it for a day and a half on the screen configuration and nothing. What is the problem with my laptop brand new?

  Usually a single word explains what causes these problems - Norton !
  Is the laptop still under warranty? If so, Toshiba needs then provide support for problems with the operating system.

  Instead of contact Toshiba, then through the dance where they try to blame Microsoft and will not help you, if the laptop is a recent purchase so I suggest you press on press F8 key just after you press the power button.
  If you do not press F8 in time then Windows 7 will attempt to load and you will have to wait until she did try to do.
  Shut down the laptop and reboot again, by pressing F8 to only a Boot Menu appears.

  In the upper-left corner of the Start Menu should be a link to repair your computer .
  Choose this option.
  The System Recovery Options window should now appear. This is what it will look like - What are the system recovery options windows 7?
  At the bottom of this list there should be a Toshiba provided option that will allow you to do a clean/restore Windows 7 install.
  If she's not here so Toshiba should have provided you with a recovery with which disk you can boot up the laptop and then access the system recovery.

  Do a clean reinstall of Windows 7 (a format of the hard drive) and the installation of Windows 7.
  Once you have done this, and the system has rebooted for the last time, uninstall all Norton products immediately by clicking on the start ORB,
  in the field of research to install type.
  Under control panel, click on the link "view the programs that are installed on your computer.
  After you have uninstalled the Norton "tricks", restart the system.

  Update the computer laptop now, install the updates offered in groups of 10 only ! Yes it's more slow their installation at once, but... you already know the result to install all updates at once, right?

  When all updates and required reboots are finished, suggest you only install the freeMicrosoft Security Essentials or Avast.
  Both are valid antivirus programs, and both are compatible with Windows 7.

• Windows Update is blocked/stands/the download. MSE is hooked on the download of the update. "Preparation set up windows." message on farm.

  I have Windows Update problems , starting on 25/05/10.  I've updated from Windows XP Pro sp3 for Win7 Pro in January and had no problems until 4 days ago.

  -The update says, there are updates available, but by clicking on the download button, it crashes just at 0%.

  -MSE did the same at a standstill in the middle of updates

  -Furthermore, I get the message 'preparation set up windows.  Do not turn off your computer"when I turned off the computer , but not when I turn it on.  I ended up leaving it and the computer is off when I wake up the next morning.  It does not when I turn on the computer.

  -Win7 now has an icon in the task bar that says ' Windows is downloading updates (all 95%). ", but stated that, for 4 days, and nothing is downloaded.

  -I have no update failed I can find in the history of the update.

  -Convenience store has not fixed anything.

  -Remove pending.xml and reboot.xml did not work.  There is a reboot.xml in the directory, but no pending.xml file.  Any attempt to remove reboot.xml (modification date 26/12/2009) generated the message: "You need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file."  Attempts to delete the file in an administrator command prompt was an error: "access is denied".

  -There is no restore points saved for me to come back to.  System Restore has not been configured properly and had no space to save a restore point (it does now).

  -starting in safe mode works very well.  Restart in SafeMode to normal mode works great, but the problems persist.

  So what's next?

  Run MSE and COMODO firewall, running before errors start with no problems.

  Did you or did you not (1) uninstall Comodo Firewall, (2) active Windows Firewall, (3) reset Windows Update by KB971058 (the difficulty it running in mode by DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE) and (4) then restarted?

  [I will not go into a lengthy discussion on firewalls or preferences for the same thing here: Comodo Firewall and MSE do not play well together.] [I wouldn't have installed both.]

  Hi ArthurCosford,

  This screen appears when you have pending Windows updates must be installed on the system or when you installed the Windows updates on the system.

  Step 1:

  You can check the windows updates history to discover updates recently and failed to install.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

  See the Windows updates are installed

  Step 2:

  If there are updates failed, then try to download and install the stand-alone package with updates from the Microsoft Download Center.

  a. to download updates from the Microsoft Download Center

  b. Enter the item number in the field search and download the same.

  c. double-click on the downloaded file.

  d. click on run and follow the wizard to install it.

• my laptop keeps going to start page.__No regardless of which option to choose, that is to say. safe mode, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, the last known good configuration, start windows normally, it's always the same

  my laptop keeps going to the start page. No matter which option I choose, IE. safe mode, safe mood with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known, good configuration start windows normally, it always comes back to the same screen. saw this post before and the invloved boot cd solution. I have not a cd ROM is there another way to solve this problem. Thank you people

  Thank you for taking the time to make this post very informative, excellent. Without the machine test myself that I can't be sure, but based on the age of the computer and what you wrote I suspect for lack of material. It could be something simple like the hard drive or RAM or something more serious like the motherboard. I wouldn't recommend replacing any material on such an old laptop.

  As long as the hard disk has been physically, you can recover your data easily. If the hard drive has failed, then you will need to send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company. It is quite expensive ($500-3700), but they can usually recover your data. Some insurance policies cover also, professional data recovery in order to check with yours. But let's be optimistic. ;-)

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company.

  I'll give you the information on how to test the hard drive to see if it's good physically and how to recover data when you can't in Windows but in doing these things requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself the best and that it would be better to take the laptop to a competent local professional. If you do this, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues.

  A. test equipment
  
  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. You will probably need to change the boot order. Your Dell can give you a temporary boot menu if you press F12 as the computer starts. If so, use your arrow key to select the CD drive. Otherwise, press F2 to enter in Setup (BIOS) and change the order of boot on the CD drive first. If the disk fails all physical tests, it must be replaced. Although readers of the laptop cost around $60, you should really consider if it is to put money in such an old machine. You can replace the disk, but the laptop is definitely at the end of its normal life and something else is doomed to failure.

  There is information about the RAM test and other materials here:

  B. retrieve data detach a healthy disk when you are unable to Windows
  
  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB stick with a capacity to hold your data OR an external USB hard disk formatted FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

• How can I disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?

  Is someone can you please tell me how to disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?  I am happy to change the registry to implement if necessary.

  Why?

  Because my PC sometimes gives an IP address like 169.254.0.1.  This is because Windows has detected that your computer is connected to a network, but the PC has not yet given an IP address by DHCP on the network, so Windows Server the automatic IP Configuration comes in and gives the PC an IP address that starts with 16.254.

  The reason why that the DHCP server on the network has not given an IP address was because the network is coming a few seconds before the DHCP server comes up, and the automatic IP Configuration Windows comes too quickly.

  Of course, once the PC has an IP starting 169.254, he cannot communicate with my router that has an IP address that starts with 192.168.  The only cure, outside re-booting, is to issue the ipconfig/renew command to obtain an IP address from the router DHCP server.

  If I can turn off the automatic IP Configuration of Windows (I could disable in XP) then I can avoid this error.

  One option that you have.

  You can set the IP address to a static IP address.

  Reach:
  Beginning
  Control Panel
  Network and Internet
  Network and sharing Center

  Click on connection to the Local network (a separate dialog box opens Local Area Connectin status)
  Click on Properties (opens the dialog)
  Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
  Click on Properties

  On the general tab, move the radio button to use the following IP address:
  Here you can set the IP address that you want to use the machine.

  Example of Configuration:
  192.168.0.254
  255.255.255.0
  192.168.0.1

  You will need to note the IP DNS addresses you need more.
  If you like you can even use a set of public DNS servers for free. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-DNS-server/

  Please note that the sample configuration assumes routers IP is 192.168.0.1, check please. :)

  Good luck

• Any solution to use the same IP configured on Windows 7 to Windows XP Mode.

  Hello

  Currently I have the Installer Windows XP mode on Windows 7. The environment requires static IP address within the specific range (eg. 192.168.6.xxx) to download documents from the repository (server). But because of the limitation on the static IP address, is there a work around where XP Mode can use the primary IP configured on Windows 7? Please specify.
