  • [Solved] pc with xp home edition as the operating system does not start after installation of SP2 via automatic updates

    Hello everyone. After formatting my hard drive I reinstalled windows xp edition sp1 family and then installed the latest version of windows update agent. I have the auto update set to download the updates automatically and notify me when they are ready to be installed. Initially, he found 3 updates that I installed and rebooted. He concluded 58 updates. Again, I've installed and restarted. After that, we found ServicePack 2, I installed as well. But after the reboot, the pc does not start. What I get is the windows xp logo which discoloures after a few seconds and I don't see a bar moving from left to right. I left it like that for 3 hours, but nothing has changed. Also, it does not start in safe mode. I get a screen with red and green vertical lines in this case. Anyone know what's the problem? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    I was finally able to solve this problem. That's what I did. I reinstalled windows xp home and followed the same path (but his definition of the automatic updates notify me before downloading or installing updates) until the automatic updates found in the new service pack 2. This time that I did not choose to download it. Instead I downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28 and then started in safe mode and installed. I don't know one that makes the difference but service pack 2 has been successfully installed this time and tha pc was able to start after installation. Before that, I also downloaded and installed the latest versions of 2 drivers through drivermax. I mention this in the case where he has also made a difference. After the service pack 2 installation and restart, automatic updates will be found a few others brought up-to-date, but after installation and reboot, it found no others. I had to visit update windows Internet explore and search for updates it and managed to find other updates and finally SP3.

  • Is there a way to install exe to a vi on a XP machine without running LV and not restart?

    Hello

    I need deploy an application that reads the channels in a FP module for testing purposes. The problem is, I can't restart the system, I need to install this on because it runs the critical control software that cannot be interrupted. The system does not have the labview runtime engine and I can't install this requires a restart of XP probably due to registration of dll or something.

    I use "Fieldpoint network read" read from the module. The simple answer would be to simply install on a machine on the same network can I restart. However, I have no such luxury because I connect to the system over a long distance connection, VPN and I need to be able to query the FP data every 250ms, which may be too much for the connection.

    So basically, I need to find a way to read data from the PF in a manner similar to "PS Network read" without having to restart the system.  Is it possible to do it with labview? Otherwise, I may be able to write this application using LabWindows because I know some software is already running on this machine programmed with that.

    The first thing I would say is that a reboot is not necessary.  I installed LabVIEW development environment since and when asked I told him I want to reboot later.  Then I open LabVIEW and coding.  I don't know what he thinks, you need to restart for, but maybe it's not necessary.

    The other thing I want to mention is that LabVIEW 7.1 and older can run exe without the need to install a runtime engine.  So it is possible to build an EXE in 7.1, then include some files and dll in the same directory as the EXE file, and when it is run it will use the.  There are probably issues with talking to hardware DAQ without MAX and I don't know how answer you this, but it's another possibility.

    Of course, you already know the answer and it is to restart the system when more convenient.

    You can experiment using the clean boot method, no need to run however you
    You probably know many of them.

    You can use these to control which startup programs. Many others who settle start-up are not
    really need to be there. As Acrobat Reader (Adobe), Agent of WinAmp and many others who
    load chunks of themselves to start more quickly (not a problem on the machines of today ' hui) and to make sure that they

  • Sound/audio does not work after automatic update of Windows 8 for the July 12, 2014

    Solving audio problems do not detect a problem.

    When I go to the control panel > hardware & sound > playback, right-click on the device, I get this message:

    "This device is used by another application. Please close all devices... "

    However, I restarted the laptop with no other applications running and I still get the above message.

    It must be linked to the recent update of W8 for 2 days ago that my audio has always worked fine until here. Without having to reinstall all the software, what I can do, as I have not changed anything other than subscribe to automatic update of Windows? (It makes me want to stop the update btw, if the updates affect the normal performance of my laptop).

    A new update for Windows 8 rises to fix this audio problem?

    Welcome to any other measure to solve the problem? -Many thanks.

    It worked for me, you can't find it on your hard drive, you must go to > Control Panel > programs > programs and features-> installed updates. under the microsoft windows list, locate those added on July 12, 2014. RightClick > uninstall the "update for Microsoft Windows (KB2962407)" (let others, simply uninstall it) it invite you to reboot, and you should have sound after reboot. "

  • KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

    I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
     
    Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
    Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
    Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
     
    I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
     
    Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
    So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
     
    Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
     
    After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
     
    My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
     
     
     
    What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
     
    I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

    Comment 1: To my rquest, a moderator merged your thread in the Sub-forum Win7 updates with your wire in the Sub-forum of updates of Windows XP 20 Feb-12, c. 07:50 UTC.

    Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?

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

    Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

    Repost...

    1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

    2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

    ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

    Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

    OPTION A:

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK

    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Starting the service will take a moment)

    OPTION B:

    1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

    2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.
