    Hi Dolores,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities.

    I understand that you cannot start Windows after you install an update. Let me try and help you with this question.

    1. What is the brand and model of the PC?

    2. what solution did you tried to use the Windows key + R?

    3. how many user accounts are defined on this computer?

    4. is this a child account?  The thread is in the parental controls category.

    5. I understand that you have not set a password for this account, but requires you to enter a password when you're on the logon screen?

    Check if you are able to start safe mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

    If you are able to start safe mode, and then try to perform a System Restore from there.

    If you are not able to start safe mode, then I suggest you go to the Windows recovery environment and perform a system restore.

    I have been using Thunderbird for a long time. One day he told me that my password is incorrect. After several attempts, the correct password decided to remove the e-mail account and start to charge. Now, when I put the account it says "configuration could not be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I tried to change the password, contact my email provider and everything works fine except when trying to use Thunderbird. The email that I had tried to set up is at work.

    The best suggestion is to get the correct settings from your provider. They move to the top of their servers. They know the settings that work.

    Original title: "Windows Security".

    I have Vista Home Premium with SP 2. In Windows Mail, logon security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password. This happens from time to time for many months and I've always got to work but happened several times today.  I can sign in the server through my ISP and get email.
