  • AAM does not itself update for Creative Cloud Desktop app

    I got the application of desktop/toolbar creative Cloud briefly yesterday running but is frustrated by having both CS6 and CC of various applications running side by side, so decided to uninstall and do a clean install.  I ran that the various uninstall programs and the cleaner utility, then re-installed MAA, I and PS as a starting point.

    AAM has updated itself to the creative cloud desktop application, and if I go to the download link for the creative cloud desktop application and click on download, it passes just to the AAM app, and does nothing.

    If I look in the section updates the AAM, there is no update for MAO himself and Creative Cloud Desktop is not an installable program in MAA either.

    Can someone help me in any MAA trigger update/install Creative Cloud Desktop, or provide some manual installation steps?

    Thank you very much

  • System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

    Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

    I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

    1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

    News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

    Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

    While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

    Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
    Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
    Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
    Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

    After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

    I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

    Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

    Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
    now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

    Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

    X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

    NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

    The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

    Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

    At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
    an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

    A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

    BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

    Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

    Thanks for any help.

    No, I don't use the Norton removal tool.

    IN RE COMPUTER 1 ONLY:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4 for good measure, reset Windows Update by...

  • HP ENVY 700-030qe: BIOS updates for my HP desktop computer

    I have a desktop HP ENVY 700-030qe with Windows 8. While looking through the updates of software available for my system, I have seen two listed in the BIOS:

    (1) HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS for ROM family SSID 2AF3 dated October 2014.

    (2) HP Desktop BIOS update system for PC HP ENVY 700/800/810 with 2AF3 family ROM dated May 2014.

    1. How will I know what family of ROM BIOS I have? I have pictures of all the screens of BIOS that I could get and nothing mentioned family BIOS ROM. I still have the BIOS original version KAI 80.07.

    2. the two updates apply to my computer? The wording is confusing. It seems that only the second apply to my system unless one applies to a more general category of the office. If both apply, as the first is the most recent, which would be the one to use?

    3. There is an issued for the BIOS in June security update that I ran across here. Which does not appear in the update list. Why would that not replace the other? Can I assume that the October update would include this security update?

    Thank you

  • Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

    I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

    Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

    I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

    I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

    I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

    1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

    2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

    3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

    All thought, popular point of view.

    Don

    Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.
