Several errors in Windows XP computer after installing updates.

Original title: weird errors after windows update.

Installed windows to update this afternoon, 13/11/2011. Get weird errors since then. Firefox gets all messed up, windows tabs lose their text, then the PC crashes.

Can not start Internet Explorer. Get the error message "Application failed to initialize properly (0c 0000142).  When I insert a CD I get DLL errors and indicating that the file is not valid windows image.

Tried running AVIRA and received the error 'avcenter.exe failed to initialize properly (0c 0000044).

Tried to run the SYSTEM RESTORE and received valid error "rstrui.exe - Bad Image DLL C:Windows\system32\SAMLIB.dll is not a windows image.

Tried running the RECOVERY of the PC and received the error 'START. EXE - Application error. The application failed to initialize properly (0c000012d).

I had to reboot my PC at least six times since this afternoon. I reboot normally once per week!

How to get back on this last update?

  • Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

    When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

    Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

    Please people think.

    Hi jbeech,

    No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

    I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

    While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • I can't start my computer after installing updates to manualling

    This happened almost a year and once from time to time I revisit the issue to see if I can find a solution.

    I tried to download the new version of Windows Live Messenger. Installation did not work because I needed a certain update. This hard drive (I have several) was not install updates for a while. Up to this point, I just thought it was a nuisance, but not a major problem. Because my computer would not install the updates on its own, and I needed a special update for the new Windows Live Messenger, I went online to find the update to install. I got the update ID (I don't remember what it was) so I quickly found and installed. Everything seemed fine until I restarted my computer - or attempted to guess - after installation. My computer won't start. I get a screen asking if I want to start Windows normally or start windows repair.

    Here are some of the things I've tried so far:

    Start Windows normally: a screen comes up saying something about checking the disks and it is recommended that you do not stop the disk check. I do not have anything and immediately it says that the disk check has been arrested. He stays on this screen infinitely - believe me I left on this screen for hours.

    Repair Windows: I used windows repair in the past for other problems and it worked wonderfully. This time I click to run windows repair and I go to a blue screen with the background of the blue sinuous line of vista but there is to this and nothing comes up.

    Safe mode (and any version of safe mode): when starting, I pressed F8 to start the extended options. All safe mode options lead to the same thing. I get a list of drivers and it says please wait... It always gets stuck on \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys and it is going nowhere.

    I tried almost all the options in the F8 menu and they all be given the normal startup problem or safe mode

    I then tried to do a repair of my disk of vista system. This time - unlike the previous attempt to repair windows - I got the menu normal repair. Unfortunately, the repair "attempted to correct the disk error" during more than 15 hours. I then shut down my computer, once again beaten by my computer.

    I always use this computer with other drives with no problems. Thus, it is certainly a problem on the hard drive and must be associated with the update I installed manually before this problem.

    Help, please!

    Hi, EMP,.

    Since you are unable to boot into safe mode and unable to repair the system, you can try to boot from the Windows Vista disc and try to perform a system restore.

    Method 1: Try to perform a system retsore.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles:

    An update is not installed successfully when you try to install the update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Method 2:

    If you still experience the problem, then try to perform a checkdisk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

    You can boot from Vista disk full or to run Checkdsk select command prompt from the System Recovery Options menu.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

     Hope this information is useful.

    Error message "WIndows cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer.

    I am currently using windows 32 bit vist

    I rebooted, I changed the settings, I don't have a file called window update service in the service section to stop and start, I tried the fix programs, I'm out of ideas and I need help!

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    I suggest you try these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    How to reset the Windows Update components?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Method 3: If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, click computer.

    b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log
    Where 'C' is the drive of operating system
    c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

  • Does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program?

    Original title: does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program? Which option is it on Vista? Hit reboot? Or off, wait and then start up?

    I was told that if you add or remove a prgram, after it installs you need to 'reboot '.

    Is this true?

    Does this mean that, after the program is installed, you must reach the restart button? Or press 'stop' and then again wait a minute and then be able to save the PC?

    Often an installation or uninstallation of will need to reboot to complete and it never hurts except for the
    time it takes.

    A reboot is usually sufficient.

    Hi bruce,.

    What actually are you looking for? On Windows 7, your options will be under Tools > Options. If you have the Firefox menu, you can press Alt to temporarily activate the menu bar.

    The details of your system say Linux. Say you're on Windows 7 However, correct?

    Can I get rid of one or several Adobe folders on my desktop after installing or updating?

    Hello

    Yes, you can remove it.

    But the Adobe folder that you want to remove is actually the Acrobat installer. So you could save to another location so that if in the future, you need to re - install the software, there is no need to download the entire product.
