"Remove all" snapshots causing startup problems.  How to manually compile snapshots?

• Windows Update Causes startup problem

  I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

  When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

  I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

  In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

  Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

  Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• After removing all snapshots, cannot access shares

  Recently, I noticed that my SIN was not always full despite regularly delete data to free up space. I discovered that the snapshot took all the space, I consiquently delete all snapshots, but the assosiated folder is now gone. I can see the NAS shows again the data are on the NAS, but I can't seem to access if Windows or page of the interface.

  You would have certainly got a popup that requires typing something to confirm that you wanted to delete the share. It is a protection device against accidental deletion of the shares.

• WIn Vista for 13/12/11 updates cause startup problem

  Hello

  There was some 16 published "Windows Updates" yesterday.   After applying my Vista system would not restart until they have been regularized.

  I don't know which one caused the problem.   I guess I could let the updates from the Office product be applied again to try to limit the update at the origin of the problem.

  But do you know what is wrong?

  Hi LarryMcMahon,

  Download the latest driver chipset directly from the manufacturer. If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, you can find the driver on the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

• Need help to remove all snapshots

  We have a Web VM server that had about 6 photos attached to it.

  We were in lack of space on our logic unit number so we did a remove, but who did not do anygood and I think (197 GB) snapshots are always in the virtual machine folder.

  We have about 18 GB of free space.

  Please advised.

  Sounds good.

  I see you have removed the third virtual disk to the virtual machine (without removal of the disc). To avoid problems, remove the file 'wwwtest.vmsd' at this point.

  Once the cloning is done (vmkfstools completed successfully), modify the virtual machine settings and remove the second HDD (not yet him le supprimer remove the disk, remove only the virtual hardware), and then add the new clone virtual disk on the virtual computer (make sure that it is connected to "scsi0:1"). To ensure the old virtual disks are not used, create a new subdirectory in the folder of the virtual machine and move all the files 'wwwtest_1 *.vmdk' in this folder (this can be done using the browser of data store).

  Now it's time to turn on the virtual machine to see if everything works as expected. If Yes, you can safely remove the files move to the subdirectory.

  ATTENTION: If you have problems, please do not try to pick up the old virtual disk. Report back here and I will help.

  After you confirm the steps above, we can do a bit of cleaning and/or bring the virtual disk cloned in his folder 'home '. Please attach the latest vmware.log once again, I can take a look.

• Roxio uninstall causing startup problems

  My system is a Dell Inspiron 518 on Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit desktop. The Roxio Creator OF 10.2 has been pre-installed by Dell. I decided to uninstall the unused program, carefully follow the instructions on the Roxio site, which includes editing the registry keys and delete hidden files.

  I found myself with starting seeds: two previously used programs 'configuration' at every start, my Dell Dock missing language files, my McAfee Security Center giving a popup "system is at risk", which immediately becomes "the system is protected" when I click on 'technical assistance '.

  I tried to use a just system restore before uninstalling the Roxio program, but my problem persists.  However, I have a file that is an export of the registry before I made some changes according to the instructions of Roxio. I have the Roxio installation disc that came with my Dell.

  My questions are all related:

  Should I try importing the registry from the point just before the uninstall?  If so, is it possible to export the current registry so that it is a separate file that I want to use - in other words, export the current registry as a measure of protection would cause him to crush the export that I wanted to use?

  Finally, it would be wise to try to reinstall the program disk Roxio if import above does not solve my problems start?

  Hi tealbingy,.

  This document should help you import the registry keys.

  (1) uninstall your security and reboot system. The Office made it back to its original state?

  (2) reinstall the security system - Exchange Office?

  (3) start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore

  (4) select a date before the updates, that you are referring

  (Popup you mentioned may have had the warning on save changes or you may lose your work...)

  (5) do a full scan of your system, here, to rule out the possibility of a virus.

  My sister asked me to install a new copy of windows. First I tried to put the win7 dvd in the drive, it does not display the traditional press any key to boot from the cd/dvd. then I changed the settings in bios to boot from the cd, which gave no result. then I tried the boot to the optical drive option, it just went ahead and started from the hard drive.

• Remove orphaned snapshots of backup failed

  ARCserve backup software is a failure while trying to back up virtual machines and leaving behind the clichés that are deleted. I work with CA (ARCserve) to solve backup problems.

  I have a few virtual machines in need of consolidation and others who don't. Can I just do a "remove all" snapshots on these virtual machines or do I consolidate those in need, first of all?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jim,.

  Both delete and consolidate would eliminate them the snapshots, IE do it connects and validate data on the basic disk (VMDK). I'd rather have the virtual machine under tension, then go with consolidation,

  Since we can not estimate on when it can be completed.

  Thank you

  This troubleshooting is for Windows 7 - Vista is similar - for XP using RUN instead of
  Start - Search.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

  TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
  It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
  TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
  check with the other methods below.
