  • Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

    It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
    I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

    I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

    Hi dabaum77,

    From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

     
    Access the link below
    Follow these steps to disable the automatic updates:
     
    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. in the left pane, click on change settings.
    3. under important updates, choose the option you want.
    4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

    You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.
     
    Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
     
    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.
     
     
    You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
     
    1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
     

    2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
     

     
    3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
     

     
    4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
     

     
    5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
     


    6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.

  • Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

    Hello, everyone!

    Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

    For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi EvanaZgb,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

    I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

    STEP 1
    ------------
    Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
    To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    Step 2 now try to update again and post back with the results
    ------------
    Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

    Now try to update again and post back with results

  • The problem with Windows update - automatic updates service won't start not (error 126)

    original title: the problem with Windows update

    Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

    XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3

    Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

    Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    I already followed several instructions on this subject:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/cannot-access-Windows-automatic-update-after/aeaec175-01f4-47ed-8F97-55b854af4220

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

    If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  • Facing problems with Windows Update and other performance issues.

    Hi, I have a Windows 7 (64 bit) for HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. Since January 5, 2014, my computer had problems. Windows Update stopped working. Whenever I try to run it, it says that the service is not running. When I try to set the agenda by running Microsoft Fix it, an error occurs. It says "Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred" and when I try to repair Microsoft Fix it with "DIAG_MATS_NETWORK_global", it does not detect any problems. The first time I met the problem was when I tried to play Minecraft; It wouldn't connect and when I tried to relog I get a "SocketException: unrecognized Windows Socket Error: 86 create." Microsoft Security Essentials has update problems as well and my Hamachi can not connect. Skype and all my other programs and video games, such as League of Legends and Maplestory all will work perfectly well. I've looked everywhere in the Microsoft Web site and cannot find a solution. Please help me solve this problem!

    Thanks, but I fixed it! I used the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and it fixed the problem. :)

  • Cryptsvc.dll serious problem with Windows Update.

    Hello world

    (Vista Home Premium - 32-bit)
    I'm having a serious problem to Cryptographic Services which will affect my ability to update windows and use my PC. Since all April 24 Windows was not able to update and I noticed that my computer has been running extremely slow. Manager audit tasks revealed that svchost.exe ate about 50% of my CPU at all times.

    When I checked the services running in svchost.exe, I found that Cryptsvc.dll was eating my resources. I finished the process (svchost.exe) and my processor immediately returned to normal. I checked the wires all over the internet and while I see a lot of people have had problems with crytpsvc.dll I can't find someone who knows my specific problem.

    To start Windows Update, this svchost.exe also usually starts and causes the update of Windows hang saying something like "Download x updated. (Total 0Kbs, 0% complete.) and the progress bar continues to scroll, but nothing happens (I left this all night to test and it was the same thing when I woke up in the morning).

    The svchost.exe in question contains generally:
    CryptSvc
    Dnscache
    Tapisrv

    Check the Sysinternals Process Explorer process revealed that CryptSvc was eat the processing power. Also if I manually start this service via; Right click computer > manage > Services - my processor immedietly rises to 50% again.

    I ran many anti-spyware/virus controls, including Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and they detected some small viruses ' but not managed to solve my problem. I tried to register the DLL in question, but I get the error:

    "" Cryptsvc.dll"module was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. Make sure 'Cryptsvc.dll' is a .dll file or ocx valid and then try again. »

    What sounds horribly wrong to me.

    Unfortunately I can not format my PC because I don't have a copy of windows (my pc didn't come with one) otherwise it would have been my first step.

    If anyone could advise what newspapers you see to help diagnose it, I post them here (don't really know what to do more).

    Help would be appreciated, I'm getting sick of having to kill svchost every 20 minutes to keep my computer running.

  • Problem with Windows Update!

    Hello!

    I have been using a computer HP (h8-1320eo) for about 11 months now, and I have a problem now.

    When Windows Update wants to install some updates, I let do and she successfully the download, but when he wants to set up updates, it freezes at 12%. First time I have let it run about 45-60 min, then forced to close. This happens every time, I shut down my computer.

    Initially, I contacted the Support of Mircosoft, nothing helps, I did some research and I found this discussion on a website (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/517267/sfc-will-not-complete-and-windows-update-gives-a-800...) And that sounds just like what's happening to me! And as I read down, I wasn't the only one, there are others, but they all HP computers.

    And that is why I contacted HP now, and sometimes the computer had some problems to open some files / or orders, for example "stop Installation" when I tried to stop Windows Update...

    Christian,

    I think that using a Restore Point to try and 'go back' is not enough to clear this error.

    It seems that there may be a recent problem with an update of Windows: KB2887069

    Reference Microsoft Forum: kb2887069 crashes at 12%

    You can try the following:

    • The system startup and logon
    • The Windows Updates Notify value (instead of automatic update)
    • Restart and sign (just because cela 'glue change', defines the kernel and make the computer happy)
    • Open windows updates
    • Look for the updates - which creates a list of the updates
    • Highest point and click right update KB2887069
    • Select this option to HIDE the update
    • Try to install the updates

    The same patch / update watch upwards in the list of Windows 8 update - it does not seem to cause problems.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Reloading the image: use your most recent picture disc and recharge the system at this point.  Depending on when you created the Image, it's more or less painful. It will certainly take your system at this point in time, when everything worked.

    If you have never created a System Image, you can learn about it here:

    HP PC - creating and using a System Image to restore your computer (Windows 7) - c02053303

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If none of these suggestions work, then the underlying cause of your problem may be another that which has been previously documented.

    One thing you can try:

    Use the approach suggested above and hide the updates from one or more at a time, try to run the updates between selections.

    It is a painful process; It can help discover the question if KB2887069 does not cause any problems.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Good luck!
