Several updates to install after performing a system restore. Updates must be installed?

After the system recovery, windows updates shows 64 installed updates. Many have the same title with another date. Should I install all updates or just the most recent version of each update? Is there a certain order to install these updates because there is so much?

Hi erculb,

Thank you for visiting the Windows Vista community.

You can install the latest version of each update. But make sure that you install only two updates

at the same time and each time you are prompted, restart the computer.

Some updates apply to files or services that Windows uses. These types of updates can't be installed while Windows is running so you should save your work, close all open programs, and then restart your computer to complete the update process.

Please visit these links for more information about installing updates:

  • Recently upgraded to the new version of Firefox and after a Windows system restore was performed today Firefox is therefore more accessible (by clicking on icon Firefox results in nothing) what can I do?

    After System Restore Mozilla Firefox icon is still on the screen but now when I click on the Firefox icon does not open. I have a number of bookmarks saved I'd perfer not to lose - is there anyway I can restore Firefox without losing bookmarks?

    Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful to do a system restore.

    Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Driver went on a pad and perform a system restore, the hardware is not installed but the same problem.

    I have Vista Home Basic. I have a HP printer that whenever I logged in re-installed drivers. So I decided to uninstall all printer and software and re-install fresh. All seemed well and good work but if I restart or stop and come back on the laptop tells me a driver went on a buffer and performs a restore of the system. The system restore seems to work and restores me awhile before I re-installed the printer. But again if I restart or stop it has the same problem. the pilot and buffer. I have not yet installed or reconnect the printer because it restored. I don't know much about computers and I don't know what to do. I wanted to kind of do a clean install of Vista but it comes preinstalled on my laptop so I don't have a disk and that I read removing the drivers does not seem an option.

  • After the removal of the malware, no program shows up & not able to perform the system restore.

    original title: System Restore problem.

    I had some kind of malware, a few weeks ago.  I finally managed to get rid of it, but none of my programs, such as Excel, etc. make their appearance.  I tried to use system restore, but it does not actually perform.  I have restore dates showing, but when I try to restore it all is here.

    Let's see here:

    Method 1: How will check if the applications are located in C:\Program Files help?  Excel would not be listed in C:\Program Files anyway.

    Method 2: Which will not help as it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Of course, you don't want to throw a Safe Mode and the clean boot in for good measure to check if that helps?

    If you don't recognize the issue and at least have some clues how to solve, why post anything at all (except to include links to KB articles that help at all).

  • All of a sudden, I cannot perform a system restore, cannot not to activate the 'sleep', cannot conduct an audit of the disc.

    This all started in the last 2 weeks. Have cleaned the registry with CCleaner and Wise Registry cleaner. Have scanned my system with
    AVG free, free MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware free, Spybot Search and Destroy, Windows Defender and the free analysis tool from Microsoft. Nothing untoward was found. My computer is almost 5 years old HP Pavilion tx 2000 32 bits. Also, after a few minutes, with each new page that I opened, my chrome browser always opens a new tab and my mouse, instead of scrolling up and down, it zoomed in my window larger or smaller size.

    Hi TedDyjas,

    Thanks for posting your question in the community of Microsoft Windows.

    From descriptions of the question, it seems that you are unable to run the system restore, you can not activate the 'sleep'.

    1. you receive an error code or message?

    2. have you made any recent hardware or exchange of software on your computer before the show?

     

    There may be third-party software conflict with the computer, and to solve it, perform the steps below to correct and solve the problem.

    Method 1:

     

    Step 1:

     

    You can try to start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers.

    Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Start your computer in safe mode:

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then follow the next step.

    Step 2:

     

    You need to perform a clean boot to prevent any third party conflicting application from interfering with your computer.

    To put the computer in a clean boot state, you must follow the steps in the article mentioned below and check with the question.

  • All my files are gone after doing a system restore

    Tuesday, I spotted that I was behind on my updates so be fairly busy told windows draft.exe all and he then installed.
    When I came back to my computer (after the restart). I found that windows had created a new user, Temp. On this temp Itunes was not installed and none were anything else.
    I got itunes to add the library again and I continued a bit annoyed with Vista
    Then I noticed that my hard drive was packed even if I had loads of free space. So I decided to do a system restore.
    He got rid of the Temp and in the process most of my files.
    After much research, I decided to cancel the restoration of the system think that logically it that would result is error.
    Bad...
    Cancellation of the restoration of the system made the rest of my files disappear.

    I'm no expert, but I do not think that my files were gone I believe that something has happened in the root directory (hope only maybe blind).
    When I search for my vista documents found, but if clicked told me that the item that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly.

    If anyone can help?

  • My Vista profiles keep the reset by default, and every time I have to perform a system restore.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.

    I have three user profiles set up, one for my daughter, one for my husband and one for me.

    A week or two there, my daughter connected on his profile to find its bottom screen and bookmarks and office icons had been reset.  I thought nothing of it, just helped get everything set back again.

    Two days ago, I logged on my profile and my husband connected to Siena, to see that all about its profile has been reset to the default value.  All her desktop icons disappeared, his favorites on Firefox were gone, his background has been reset... absolutely all the custom features have been reset.

    I ran system restore, and it resets me up to a point where Paint.net has been updated.  Everything is back to normal, so I stop updates on Paint.net and even blocked his access to the internet using my firewall to prevent it happening again.

    Yesterday I logged in my profile to find that the same thing had happened with mine.  So I ran the restore of the system again, and he suggested that I restore to a point where the updates of Windows has been installed.  I did, and everything went back to normal for my profile.

    Then this morning my husband connects to sound and finds the same problem.  So we did another restore of the system, return to the last update of Windows.  Everything returned to normal.

    I just ran Windows Update, and these are six updates, that it tries to install:

    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976662)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB979306)-
    -Update for Rights Management Services Client for Windows Vista (KB979099)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976264)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB975929)-
    -Definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.75.1050.0)-

    I thought that one of these updates may be causing the problem, so I just installed and rebooted my pc, but when I logged in all was ok.  This could be the cause?

    If you need more info let me know, thanks!
