Problems with aero after the latest updates

Hello

Someone had a problem with the latest Microsoft security updates
touching the aero desktop theme.

Since I downloaded the updates my aero as a theme stopped working.
I did a roll windows back but I still have the same problems.

The updates are #KB971029 and #KB971029 the
updates have been downloaded on 03/17/11

I hope someone can help with this problem.

All the best

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

  • PunkBuster not working after the latest updates of Windows

    Hello

    Since I installed the latest updates for Vista x 64, I continue to pounce on COD5 with this exception:

    Application CoDWaWmp.exe, version 1.5.1220.0, time stamp 0x4a5241f6, failed module pbcl.dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4a5cb487, exception 0xc0000005, fault offset 0 code x 00026914, 0x5d0, failing application start 0x01ca36117f69c74e process id.

    The problem seems to be related to the Punkbuster client. Before the latest updates, I don't have a problem.
    For Windows XP, a similar problem was introduced with KB917422 (in connection with Kaspersky anti virus I think).

    Any thoughts on this topic?

  • Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

    Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

    I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

    I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

    But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

    1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

    2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

    3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

    4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

    Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

    IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

    IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

    IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

    5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

    Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

    KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

    There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

    Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

    Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

    But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

    MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

    MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

  • The problem with SQL after the migration of the database to another machine

    Having a SQL strange problem trying to extract a database being moved from one machine to the other.  Both machines are running SQL 2008 32-bit and are both Windows 2008 servers.  When I try to backup the database using the SQL tools and restore the. BAK file on the new SQL Server, I get the following error:

    Restore failed for server 'servername' (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
    Additional information:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on the page (44:2097184) in database 'RestoreDBName' read from the backup set.

    Similarly, when I am trying to copy the. MDF and. LDF files to the new server and tie them, I get the following error:

    Attach the database failed for the server 'servername '.
    Additional information:
    An exception occurred during the execution of a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
    A system assertion failed.  An assertion failure is usually caused by a corruption of data or software bug.  To check the database, consider running DBCC CHECKDB.  If you have agreed to send images to Microsoft during installation, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft.  An update can be an available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or a QFE from Technical Support.
    Could not open new database 'NewDatabaseName' create a DATABASE is dropped.

    Expression: lfh-> lfh_startOffset is startOffset
    SPID:55
    PID: 292876 (Microsoft SQL Server, error: 3624)

    Everything I've read, these errors usually indicate some sort of database corruption.  However when I run DBCC CHECKDB on the database on the source server, it is up to perfectly don't own... None detected corruption.  In fact, this server hosts 8 different databases.  Departure from all the correct DB on the source server, none of them will restore however to a new server using one of the methods above.  I'm having a hard time to believe that each of them could be corrupted when they show absolutely no indication of a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Try to make the backup and restore via SQLCMD (or via a query in SQL Server MS window).

    The backup will be the following (obviously, change "MaBase" and "D:\BACKUPS" to some database and the location you wish to save - just using for example):

    BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase

    TO DISK = 'D:\BACKUPS\MyDatabase.bak. '

    WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,.

    NAME = 'Database MyDatabase - Full Backup',

    NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, SKIP

    Copy your backup to the other server and file make:

    RESTORE the DATABASE to MyDatabase

    FROM DISK = 'E:\Backups\MyDatabase.bak' WITH FILE = 1,

    GO to "MyDatabase_Data" to "E:\SQLDATA\MyDatabase_Data.mdf,"

    GO to "MyDatabase_Log" to "E:\SQLLOG\MyDatabase_Data.ldf,"

    NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 REPLACE

    Again, change your names and locations in function.

    If this does not work, try to restore a database by third-party tools. You can find them in Google. If you don't want to spend the time to research, you can try a tool SQL Server Recovery Toolbox. All the details about this program on the link. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/sql_repair.html

  • Very slow computer after the latest updates

    Hello

    I've updated one of my PCs running Vista x 64 updates of security two days ago.
    Now that the systems takes more than 15 minutes just to start at the opening screen of session and as much time again to get on the desktop.
    The mouse cursor is always fast as usual, but everything else including the caret blink time is super slow.

    This is a really clean system which is used strictly for dedicated 3D work, so he has nothing but Max, EU3 and WinZip on it.  It is not used for Internet access.
    No hardware or software changes attempted in several months, other than updates Windows System.
    Intel C2Q Q6600, 8 GB 1066 RAM, NVidia 8800GTS 512, WD 500 GB HD, ASUS P5K mobo.

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with updates, especially as it's really painful trying to solve the problems since that it literally takes hours to try whatever it locate either changes the problem.  I'll do a wipe and reinstall if I have to spend a lot more time with reboots, it will be faster.

    I am answering my own question here... :-)
    Maybe it will help someone else and save a few hours of work waiting for the slow start to fix things.

    For those who are interested: the OS is Vista Home Premium x 64. Material has been listed above. It is a high-end with hardware system high range, coolers, cases, power supply, etc.
    This is not a system of job full time, it is used only for specific work I usually do a few hours on one or two days a week.

    I timed it really starts the Welcome screen and it is more than 45 minutes. lol :-D
    I pulled off the side of the case and noticed that the HDD was just chewing on something.
    Start in safe mode was also just as painfully slow as standard start (argh).

    Regarding the updates of Windows, I have this system set to inform only, so I only install updates at the end of all the days that I work on the computer. Where my assumption that it's a matter of update that caused the problem, since nothing ever changes, on this subject - files are still saved out to a network server.

    However, once I could get on the computer, I noticed that I had also installed Windows Live Mail top the same day I did the updates of Windows (two days ago). WLM has been installed just to get a screenshot of it for my blog, it was never really used for Internet e-mail, it should be uninstalled some time on one of the next system bootups.

    Then... Installation apparently a combination of WLM or the latest Windows updates has completely borked something on the computer starts.
    I got my DVD of Vista, it started, ran the Startup Repair. Now, the system works very well. WLM has been uninstalled in the case where it has been part or all of the guilty.
    As with a PC, it could be something to do with the specific hardware and software configuration, the order of WLM and updates installed, specific updates installed, etc..

    I would recommend that anyone with a similar configuration be sure to install WLM or updates in the estate where they fall in the same question.
    Just don't panic if you have problems, try a DVD Vista Startup Repair. :-)

  • problems with wireless after the motherboard, cpu and ram upgrade adapters

    As the title says, I have recently updated my card mother, cpu and ram (increased from Asrock extreme6 z77/i7 3770 k/Kingston 8 gb hyperx for EVGA ftw/i5 z97 4670 k/g. Skill ripjaw x 16 gb). I always use the same installation of Windows 7 64 via the same SSD. After I was installing new equipment, I used the disc that comes with the motherboard and installed all the drivers that were available (twice, just to be safe). All the features of the OS I had before seem to be there except to exit Device Manager to correctly install the drivers for my wireless (Linksys AE1000 and TP Link N900) adapters. I downloaded the current driver for the Linksys Web site and I have the disc for the TP-Link and I tried several times to install, but keep the same message ' Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it. Device Manager recognizes the device and it is not any question of State symbol (IE yellow triangle, etc.) that is displayed in conjunction with an adapter. I tried disable/re-enabling and uninstall/re-installing times and keep having the same problem.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    When you upgrade your motherboard, cpu and ram, drivers for particular devices may not be related to other drivers. That's why I suggest you to install all the drivers for the chipset from the manufacturers website and see if that helps.
