• Problem after installing SP2

  Recently wiped my pc and I am now going through the process of trying to update everything back, I bought Vista just after that that he was released.  After spending a few hours today to install SP1 and 2, my system is rather strange. It will work very well for a few moments, then everything begins "not responding" I use Firefox, play a game, or just clicking on in windows Explorer, it happens.  I didn't have this problem until I wiped my computer, so I don't understand why its happening now. There are fewer programs installed now than before, and it of the same system, have not upgraded or anything... With Task Manager open while I'm working, I do not notice any huge spikes in CPU usage, or use of the physical memory, so Im quite baffled.

  System specs are > 4 GB of ram, AMD Athlon II X 2 processor (2.8 ghz) and running 32-bit of windows vista business.

  Below the system restore to before service pack installation, I can't think anything I can do to fix this problem, any suggestions much appreciated!

• Boot problems after installing Vista SP2 (KB948465)

  I installed SP2 via update.  During the update process there was a power failure.  After that (I don't remember if it's immediately after, or if a few days elapsed) I had problems with the startup.  Initially, seemed the Startup Repair to fix the problem, but not permanently, and the Startup Repair had to be used repeatedly just to start.

  After a few times of what is happening, Startup Repair did not turn, and the PC wouldn't start.  After about 5 attempts using the decision-making power, sometimes choose the Startup Repair, sometimes choose to load windows normally, he did start.
  I immediately did a system restore to return my PC before SP2 was installed.

  After the restoration of versions prior to SP2, Windows Update showed that the SP2 update failed.  It was on 9 November.  As I need my computer, I didn't reinstall SP2 until I had finished this work.

  As I thought that the problem is probably caused by the power outage, on 10 September, I reinstalled SP2.  Windows Update show no SP2 as an available update, then I downloaded and installed the standalone update.

  Between the 10th and today, 14, Windows Update has installed more than updated.

  Today, I was unable to start for the first time since the reinstall SP2 and Startup Repair has allowed me to open a session.
  I tried to uninstall SP2 via update.  The first part of it seemed to work, but when it came to reboot, the PC stopped at the end power to the bottom of the procedure.  I used the power switch to turn the PC back on.  After startup, the PC told me that deletion failed.

  Then I tried the system restore.  Unfortunately, the first available restore point was post - SP2 installation.  I restored it for the point that is as close as I could.  I tried to uninstall SP2 again through Windows Update.  This time, I receive a generic error message immediately (less than a second) - it does not attempt to go through the configuration - restart the procedure.

  I haven't restarted my PC since then.  Most updates have been downloaded automatically, and the PC tells me that a restart is required.  I'm a little worried that I will end up with a completely insensitive PC.

  I use an Acer Aspire X 3200 with Vista home premium pre-installed.  I don't have a Vista disc.

• Problems after installing KB978338 on Windows Vista SP2

  I met a problem after installing KB978338. The update installs without error or problem, but the system is extremely inadmissible after the reboot. The "\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is not accessible" error, and the system is practically unusable. Normally opens the Task Manager and system seems inactive, but you try to start a new application from the Task Manager gave an error "hose is not valid.

  System is Vista Home Premium SP2 installed without any obvious problems before the update. Start the system restore and go back to immediately before the update of the results in the system back to normal functionality and responsiveness.

  I've never seen or either of these mistakes before and my research has not yet been able to find something similar, so I am at a loss to start this kind of problem with an update of troubleshooting.

  Please tell us how can I still troubleshoot or solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I had this problem after istalling SP2 on my Toshiba M30. I istalled SP2 a few times before and uninstalled it is for this reason. The starting time is now about 2.5 min istead of 30 sec prior to installation. I have installed SP2 on a clean computer (removed spyware, cleaned the registry, defragment and so forth), followed by steps. But still the same. I have the loading machine about 1 min before it comes to wallpaper, before SP2, just after the sound of welcome he went at bottom of screen, icons and the bar and I was done. Now, his home, then 30-40 sec, then background screen and nothing for 1-1.2 minutes and then I get icons, bar and machine becomes operational. No one of my demons have this problem. Please, if anyone knows what to do - let me know. Thank you!

  Hello

  Remember that SP2 installs additional firewall and security settings. It s all this entails loads initially. It takes several times.

  You can check the background processes and apps which start to run.
  It can be check in the msconfig. Type the command msconfig in the run window and check the Startup tab.

  The starting procedure takes a little more time on my laptop because the antivirus application that loads initially.

• Vista theme disappeared after installing SP2

  I updated vista 64 Service Pack 2 to allow the installation of ie9.  After installing sp2, my taskbar has been changed and the vista theme completely disappeared.  Areas of the screen are now much brighter, lighter or white (taskbar now is almost white and has the old style box 'Start').  I went in the 'appearance' of the control panel section and searched the vista theme - it's gone.  Installation of task bar that I had before the sp2 update is missing.  How can I get that back?  I tried to remove and reinstall sp2 and restore to earlier date and put it back - no matter what I do the screwed up theme with no option to get the old back.  Everything else works fine.  How to bring back the task of vista bar/color theme?  Is there a file I can load up?  I'm tired of wasting time of uninstallation/reinstallation.  We don't like also how change is so brilliant screen - and we do not find a way to change that either - there is no manual ocntrols and not to tarnish the brightness - no indication 'aid' does not provide - it says adjust buttons that do not exist.  How to bring back the vista theme?

  Original title: problem after installing Windows Service Pack 3 on Windows XP Home Media edition pc

  My pc runs Windows XP Home Media edition.  I installed Windows Service Pack 3 successfully, or so I thought. Whenever I turn on my pc a box opens indicating "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions."  To maintain the stability of the system.  Windows must restore the original versions of these files.  Install your Windows XP Professional CD2.  I don't have any Windows XP Professional CD that I use the Home Media Edition. If I press Cancel repeatedly, the window disappears to return with the same information, but ask me to install Windows XP Professional CD3.  How can I stop this happening?

  Hello

  Step 1: I suggest you perform the SFC scan on the computer and check.

  SFC tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

• Internet problems after installing vista SP2

  I'm running IE8 and yesterday I installed Vista Service Pack 2.  After the installation, I got an internet connection, but could not access all pages including my home page.  The pages would hang and the little blue circle would go round and round and nothing happened.  I also have Firefox downloaded on my computer, and still the same thing happens again.

  I checked my system tools in the lower right of the desktop and my icon for connectivity internet local and internet had a red cross on it that has not changed.  I restarted my computer several times and nothing has changed.  I used the prompt commands and ping google (my homepage) and found within seconds, so the connection was there but not able to access all pages.

  I am running Vista Home Premium as my 32-bit operating system.

  To cure the problem so far, I did system restore and completely got rid of the installation.  As soon as I did, my internet was totally fine with IE8 and Firefox.

  Any suggestions, I won't install SP2 again until I know what has caused the problem of the internet, and he was healed.

  Hi Smokeycat,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Windows Vista Answers.
   
  Since you have already restored the computer and the internet works fine, try to reinstall the stand-alone version of Service pack 2. Later, try to connect to the Internet.
   
  You have security software installed on the computer? If so, try disabling the security software and install the stand-alone version of service pack 2.
   
  Try to install the stand-alone package for Windows Vista Service pack 2, access the link below and download the file to the desktop. Later, run the installation of Service pack 2 from the office.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=a4dd31d5-F907-4406-9012-a5c3199ea2b3&displaylang=en
   
  If the problem persists after you have installed the stand alone package, reply came back with the details:

  1. try to boot into safe mode with network after installation of Service pack 2 and try to access Internet
  2. in normal mode, try to right click on the network icon in the taskbar and click on diagnose and repair, if it gives any error make a note of it and we gives the error.
  3 - is wireless to a wired connection?
  4. do you have any router installed?
   
  I hope this helps.

• Tecra S1: BSOD & reboot after installing SP2

  After installation of SP2 for Windows XP on three Tecra S1 of the computer crashes whenever the power cord is out of the machines. Then it restarts and restarts until the machine stops completely.

  The error ocures on three Tecra S1. It seems that there is a conflict with the pre-installed Windows XP Pro and the drivers Toshiba and SP2.

  Someone at - it an idea how to solve this very annoying problem?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Hello Chris,
  the SP2 blocking ActiveX Toshiba Management Console modules, so you must install the fixed version TMC v3.5.2.
  However, to avoid any problem, after installation of SP2 on Tecra S1, you need to update:
  -Battery BT and utility (only for machines with BT)
  Management - Toshiba console
  -Toshiba Hotkey utility
  Utilities - Toshiba
  Energy saving - Toshiba
  Toshiba - mobile extensions

• Portege R100: The screen goes black after installing SP2

  Hello
  Currently, I tried to install SP2 for my laptop (Windows XP pro) R100. The end of the installation procedure I restarted the system, as requested. The windows logo appeared, then the screen went black and the only thing I could see was the mouse cursor.

  After several reboots, the situation did not do better. I tried to go on safe mode, but I had the same (only this time the black backround was typical registration of safe mode on the sides). I will perform a system restore without having to install SP2, but the fact that I am on a DSL connection most of the time very important SP2 installation.

  I would appreciate any solution to this problem.
  Thanks for your time.

  Hello

  As far as I know sometimes a few utilities and drivers must be updated after installation of the service pack 2 Microsoft.
  On the Toshiba driver page I found a backgrounder update of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 that contains a few s information about the utilities that must be updated.

  However, additional I found a lot of new drivers for R100.
  I think you should also try to update the old drivers as driver utility and the graphics card chipset.
  Eventually, it helps.
