  Recently installed vista update.  I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.  I get a message that says 'wireless link failed because windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.  I troubleshott he said of computing could be from low signal strength and yet it shows the strength of 100%.  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

  In general.

  Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  When the work turns on the Wireless security.

  Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

  Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

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

  I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

  Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
  some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Problem installing Vista Service Pack 1

  Hello

  I searched the internet for hours now and have found many people with the same problem but I couldn't find a solution.

  I just bought software that requires Vista service pack 1 which I thought that I had already but I didn't so I installed it.
  It goes through the whole process of installation and the last section after restarting, it goes to a black screen where it moves well as files or something but locks files 37898/94821 with the message:! 0xc01a001d! (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENETS\winners\x86...).

  If anyone has had this problem and know what to do.
  My laptop is fine without service pack 1, but my new software needs to work so I have to download it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, I never had any problem with my Vista updates
  The Vista updates automatically every time when I m online and when new updates are available

  How have you tried to update the Vista operating system?
  Have you downloaded the SP1 version first on the HARD drive or do you run an automatic update?

  If the automatic update does not work, try to download the SP1 version first, and then start the update procedure:

  SP1 can be downloaded here:

• Cannot install vista updated or the updates of the application.

  I can't install all updates for vista and some applications. I was not able to install updates for about a year and I'm behind about 50 of them!  Here's what happens: I can select a (generally smaller) update download it and at what stage him "create restore point" appears nothing DON'T is PAST!  After 15 to 20 minutes, I'll try to close and the blue/green screen informs you that installing update 1 of 1.  The system hangs in this State for hours - if I leave - and usually pull the plug.  I disabled Norton antivirus, before and get the same result!  It's nerve racking.  Oh yes, I can't remove programs either!  I WAS able to install SP2.

  Hi Bill,

  No. , the "discussions" over attempts to solve the problem and I was excited about some of the suggestions of Ryan t...  The problem persists and I designed a word document to post on the site of s 'Windows BBS"asking for their HELP.   If I can get a consensus, this is what I intend to do.  The D partition on my machine is a picture of the machine "birth" @ gateway about 2.5 years ago.  Once I trust that I have my data backed up and all the DVD application on-site I'll reformat the C with D, operation of the gateway info.  Once I did this, I intend to install Win 7 and put Vista out of its misery!  I intend to install the 64 bit version of 7 and use the C partition for the operating system.  I understand that this is possible and should reduce to naught the tedious task of reinstalling the applications and data if a cleaning are always required again!

  Also, I have a second physical hard disk with partitions E F & containing my temp folder, data and photos.  As side note, I paid MSFT $60 a year ago, and their conclusion was re - install Vista - or punt if all else fails.   NOT THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR!

  Don't know when I will be able to jump through all these hoops and obstacles, but will post my 'experience' here!

  Thank you for your question and now know I'm NOT the only victim.    OH YES, have you TRIED SUGGESTIONS of RYAN T? THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU!

• Impossible to install Vista updates

  I use Vista 32 bit, family premium, SP1, latest installed update is KB955430. Download and install the updates seem to work - until the moment where my system wants to "configurations". Here, the system stops and removes the installed updates.

  What I've done so far:

  -Tried to install SP2 - no success

  -Tried to install the file "MicrosoftFixit50202.msi" - with no success

  -Tried to install the file "au_check_v78f.exe" - no success

  -Follow all the steps (manually, too) of http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b971058&x=10&y=4 - unsuccessfully

  The 'CBS log.zip' file indicates a missing file without saying which file it should be.

  It makes me crazy... Please advice what else should I do to install the latest Vista updates successfully. Thank you very much.

• Installed Vista Update 1 package and now windows will not start

  I have a laptop Acer Aspire 4520 with a 32-bit system 64 x 2 dual core processor with Windows Vista Home Premium and just installed explorer8 updates Vista I get the package. Installed successfully, took about 45 minutes. Tells me to restart my computer. Click on restart. It restarted with goin' through bunch of # s as the first part 24 390 / 74 280 in growing in order to achieve the final number that it stopped at about 34 761 or something like that for over an hour.  I assumed that it froze. I did a hard closed down and after reboot door top, unable to start Windows.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause and options to start windows normally or start the reboot system (recommended).  I chose normally, microsoft corporation logo came on screen with progress/cargo in addition to this box, and then it turns off and rebooted itself.  This time I chose the launch startup repair and he went to remove some threads or something and add as 9 things that did not file names.  He said he was doing a CLNDSK?  It was the only time he's done this. Now, either you the hit button brings up a blue screen that says "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down windows to avoid damaging your computer."  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer.  If this screen appears again, follow these steps: ensure that new anuy hardware or software is properly installed.  If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need.  If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software.  Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.  If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.  Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000C1F5 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0 x 0000000 0x00000000) is once again this whole message on a blue screen in which you can proceed to any other, but to stop the machine.  I even tried the advanced, including Boot Options: repair your computer, safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt Mode Mode Mode, boot logging, enable video low resolution (640 x 480), last good known Configuration (Advanced), Directory Services Restore Mode, Debug Mode and start Windows normally.  Disable the automatic restart on system failure works.  Another option is the F2 key on startup.  I CAN'T go near a window to start it's totally out!  And I do NOT have a disk of Vista, that it came with it.  Need solutions before I go out my hair.  (Good operating system until the download and I only downloaded this because I download Adobe Flash Player 11.2 problems and I thought about updating my Windows can help)  Ready to take this computer back unless it is quickly fixed.

• Problems with Vista updates

  I have a gateway with Vista.  He continues to try to install an update and said then the update has not configured correctly and restores the previous settings.  This whole process takes about 4 hours and it happens every time I turn on my computer.

  The it guy here at work told me to do a system restore, but I don't have one that goes back to before that this problem started.  It's driving me crazy!

  Hi Pennik,

  You can try to perform a repair of the boot recovery option pre-installed on your computer or booting from a disk for Installation of Windows Vista and see if it helps.

  For more information, you can refer to the articles:

  Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Once you can boot normally check updates are offered recently and could not be installed.

  Search for the installation error code that your computer has saved when the installation failed. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. Click Start, click all programs and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

  b. on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site, click on view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.

  (c) in the status column of this window, find the failed to install update and then click on the red X.

  (d) a new window opens that displays the installation error code.

  See the Windows updates are installed

  Hope this information is useful.

• Problem with Vista update - 'Realtek RT8168... "killed my internet connection

  As part of my routine that Vista updates, I've updated "Realtek RT8168B/8111 Family."... »

  After the restart, I had no internet connectivity.

  The problem was "Realtek RT8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC problems hardware or driver.

  I followed the suggestions for updating drivers & system told me that my drivers were OK

  I am really at a loss

  Intel core i7, vista 64-bit, the card mother Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5

  Hello

  The problem is that this update was probably older than you had installed. Use the system restore
  and after restart go in Windows updates - updates available - just right-click on it and HIDE. Best
  to never use the driver updated in Windows Updates - manually look.

  How to make a Vista system restore
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html
  ===========================================

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT

  RTL8168B - it's later pilot and newer that you have (and this bad update)

  RTL8168C/RTL8111DP/RTL8111E
  RTL8105E

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

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• Problem installation Vista updated and now the Vista operating system unbootable - help

  Here it is the description of what has past.  Ive been through everything I can do and am now stuck with a code of 0 X 4001100200001005.

  I worked with Microsoft Vista forum group of answers, but I'm not back upward and running if Im going back to HP for assistance.  I hope that we can achieve together.  This all started when started Vista updates failing.  I got the 1 3 install stuck on the 2nd about three weeks ago.

  Here is a list of what I've done so far
  I have an old HP DV9410us for a year which will not restart after installing updates.  It comes to configuring updates step 1 from 3 to about 98% and then stops.

  It then says unable to start windows and start the repair program windows for about 5-10 minutes.  He said that you want to use the system restore.  I tell Yah Why Not.  Then, it will stop and start the cycle.

  The error in the Startup Repair States the following

  After a bunch of tests successful

  Root cause found:

  c:\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted.

  Repari Action: Repair of files
  Result: failed.  Error code = 0xa
  Duration 6521ms

  Action repair system restore
  Result: Completed successfully

  He then returns to the cycle all over again.

  I turned the clock to October with F10 at startup but that did nothing.

  I checked the hard drive for the short and complete and checked everything.

  I dug my recovery disks I did ago about 10 months after I bought and used to return to the top of my hardrive.  I was all ready for a MAC at this point.

  I went back to the HP Recovery program and tried to restore an earlier version of a well-known operating system.  The Manager of recovery disk wont work so I used the Recovery Manager disk.  There is no old configs to this true its in step 2.

  I'm now trying to perform a factory image recovery.
  Reload the operating system.  It started and got to 13% after 20 minutes and gave me the following error code.

  During this process, I have an error that had the code 0 x 4001100200001005.

  It is the reformatting of repeat of the Windows Partition.

  Is this a Vista update problem?  Have you seen this before?

  I'm doing a factory restore and will let you know if this operation fails.  I just wanted to get this thread started.

  I really appreciate this forum and any help you could give me.

  If you had an error in "configuration update 1 3-3 3 ' which would be a problem with windows update.

  to fix this, you'll need a factory image recovery if you can not access other modes for windows. But youy mentioned that you had a 0xx000x... (similar to code) error... try checking the hard drive and memory modules health... threr could be a problem with these devices, you can access it through the bios settings (turning on laptop, the moment you see hp invent screen, press f10) go to the diagnostics section, run the memory test and that hard drive test

  very probably with the error you have, you might have a hard drive problem.

  most of my clients (I am a specialist of the laptop of beak) with that problem and stuck on a boot loop or may not switch from windows, 95% of them had a hard drive failure.
