  • Windows Update Causes startup problem

    I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

    When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

    I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

    In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

    Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

    Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

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

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.

  • system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys missing or corrupt file error but windows xp is already preloaded on computer when purchased

    missing or corrupt file error system32\DRIVERS\pci.sys keeps appearing. I had a problem with google chrome and then stop everything. This error appeared. It tells me to use the cr rom boot but xp was already loaded on the sony vaio that we bought a few years ago. I don't know what to do next because I don't want to lose the pictures and music, we have on the hard drive. Any help would be appreciated

    If your data is not backed up, then at some point that the data will be lost.

    Your Sony are delivered with a hidden restore partition or recovery disks, but I do not think that the Sony recovery allows to repair an installation of win, only pure install.

    You must remove the drive and it slave on another PC in order to retrieve the data, or take it to a decent repair shop for them to do it for you

  • After installing the new hard drive and using recovery discs, I get this message could not start because the following file is m issing or damaged system32\drivers\pci.sys

    I just replaced my hard drive with a new because the other HD said imminent failure or something like that! Basically the hard drive was about to fail and I so now the new one installed and I used my recovery disks and all seemed well until the recovery disks have been completed and the computer says to get out them. Then the computer restarted several times and then I get this message:

    Then he said: "you can try to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM.
    Select 'R' in the first screen to start repair.
    one of the many questions I have is that CD-ROMs are talking? It is the recovery disk, they want me to or what? also if you know a CV or another page which includes help on this specific topic would also help! Thank you

    Hello panjok2,

    Sometimes recovery CD are dependent on the architecture of a hard drive.  If it is different from the original disc, then we have problems.

    In this case, the best thing you could do is contact HP and see if this is the case.  If it is not why this happens, they should be able to help you as well because they are the ultimate authority on their recovery process.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

  • Windows Update causing various problem on the computer

    Original title: bad update?

    11/10, I downloaded and installed updates Vista KB2641690, KB2492386, KB972971644, KB2505189. There is more, but this format makes it very difficult to enumerate. My computer is now constantly lock up, and various closed functions (Explorer being the worst).

    My computer works horribly since the update. Is there a way to reverse the updates, or should I use a fixed disc and just pray that I don't have reinstall?

  • WIn Vista for 13/12/11 updates cause startup problem

    Hello

    There was some 16 published "Windows Updates" yesterday.   After applying my Vista system would not restart until they have been regularized.

    I don't know which one caused the problem.   I guess I could let the updates from the Office product be applied again to try to limit the update at the origin of the problem.

    But do you know what is wrong?

    Hi LarryMcMahon,

    Download the latest driver chipset directly from the manufacturer. If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, you can find the driver on the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Windows update & number error problems by e-mail: Ox80072EFD

  • 17.0.1 update causes errors at the launch of Illustrator

    Since the last update Illustrator CC yesterday, I can't open the app as it says police Verdana must be enabled - I have the latest version of suitcase Version 5 and it is said that Verdana is activated permanently (Tahoma too, I read it from another thread here, it is activated permanently), I tried a stop and restart , an uninstall & reinstall Illustrator CC Creative cloud and again, it won't work. Any suggestions? I had problems with the activation of CC & fonts for some unknown reason, I have the latest version of Suitcase Fusion 5 I thought I could fix any problems (instead seems to have created them)

    Personified salvation & Monika,

    Embodied with the last AI CC on MAC 17.0.2 update you should not disable all your fonts. Just check that all 4 fonts Verdana family are present and enabled in the State in the system fonts folder.

    @Monika: thank you very much for sharing the thread, but this thread was more related to the problem of crash on MAC with 17.0.1 day which team has corrected in 17.0.2 update.

    Kind regards

  • My time will not be updated, causing various problems on all kinds of things on my computer.

    It began with my time do not update automatically. When I go to the tab "internet time" to connect and update, he needs an administrator to fix it and even though I am the administrator, it won't let me, but that's another issue all together. I have fixed this before going to msconfig comand prompt and then cancellation of the registration on the server time and re-registration. This fixed for about a month, but his pass yet. I've updated to implement everything and searched tons of forums and convenience stores without getting an answer I've already tried. Help, please! I'm very limited in what I can do because of this.

    Wow, the loss of time

  • Error code: 0xc0000225 - /windows/system32/drivers/vtaahjnc.sys

    As the title says I'm having HUGE problems currently. I can't get my PC to work more. The error tells me to put on the Windows Vista CD - wich in fact, I did. But surprise - if I put in the disc, nothing happens. I tried to google the problems - and now I'm really clueless. I would REALLY love if someone could help me!

    Hi Draxion,

    A. when it last work very well?

    B. recent changes made on your computer?

    C. do you have external devices attached to your computer?

    D. when exactly do you get this error?

    E. did you restart your computer after you put the vista disc in the drive?

    You can try the following steps.

    Step 1

    Last known good configuration is a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly.
