• Update messed up my computer, help.

  When I came to my computer, Windows Vista home is what has been installed. Last night I updated my computer for the first time, he has completely updated and after the update it was working fine last night and the rest of the day. Today, the update apparently got stuck in the final (3rd) part of the configuration process. He sets up, stops, then immediately on reboot loops right of return to step 3 in the update configuration. It is a loop in the configuration, restart, again and again. I still have to get to the login page for my profile. What should I do?

  Some tips on using Windows Update:

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

• Windows Update has messed up my computer...?

  I was going to restart my computer and saw the update windows... so I decided to update my computer so... When windows has finished updating and reloading... He would work for the first minute or so it would freeze... Freeze not literally... but nothing will work and I can still move the mouse but the mouse icon would be stuck in this symbol of loading... (the little blue circle)

  At the beginning I thought I would just let it finish loading all that computers in train load... but 30 minutes later, its still stuck on loading... I did a hard reboot, and the same thing would happen... 30 seconds - 1 minute to load windows it would freeze just about anything under its weight...

  So I thought the windows update screwed up my computer... I loaded in safe mode and tried to do a system restore, only to discover that my computer system restore has been disabled! ??? ... so now I have no idea what to do... someone please help me I have a lot of work to do... Thanks in advance

  on the top of my head, here are my computer specs:

  Windows Vista SP1
  Intel Core i7 940
  12 GB of ram
  NVIDIA FX 1700

  Update on the situation:

  I've posted on several technical forums and 2 of them have been asked to go into SafeMode Add/Remove programs and uninstall then windows updates...

  The problem with that is that my computer does not record the fact that he just installed an update... It is said that the update performed on the computer has been on the 17th of September... the date today here is Sept. 23...

  I uninstalled the 2 updates from 17 without prevail... the problem persists... I load windows in normal mode... and 30 sec-1 min later it freezes just on loading things...

  Should I just keep uninstalling windows updates until the problem is solved?

  No answer to this problem... two days of discussions of the forum tech 6... 1 hour 4 telephone conversation with microsoft support technology... end result? Reinstall Windows... GG

• It is safe to connect to the internet to update XP if the computer has not been used for a good year or so?

  Hi all - I have another laptop which has remained unused for probably over a year or more, and I want to start using it again. It works under XP, and currently has Service Pack 2 installed. My question is: is it safe to connect to the internet now and start downloading all the required Windows updates? My concern is that, as just like the anti-virus, firewall, even Windows itself have not been updated in so long, it would be imprudent to start the internet connection at this point? Is it safe to go forward and to connect and update, or is it better to download updates etc on another computer, put it on a disc/USB and then use it to install updates? Thanks in advance!

  Consider that he is therefore authorized to connect the computer to our broadband services to update the anti-anti-virus/firewall?

  Yes, as long as the firewall is turned on and that's the first thing you do online (i.e., no surfing, no audit e-mail, no chat, no download of anything else).

  The Windows Security Center will let you know if something went wrong.

  You're welcome and thank you very much for your comments!

  Hi Colin Davis,
   
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Forums.
  1. try performing clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
  2. check if you have the same problem in safe mode
  3. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt, and then click Run as administrator, and in the command prompt, type sfc/scannow. Restart the computer and check.

  Kind regards

  I uninstalled Office 2010, this has messed up my computer > cannot send the email and my old Office 2002 none no longer works

  My Office 2010 Professional Plus activation failed because I exceeded the number of facilities on my computer.  The computer on which the activation failed now on has many damaged programs operational.  Outlook Express 6 does not emails, send him previously installed Office 2002 does not work, and the computer is extremely slow opening of web browsers and download content.  System Restore did not restore anything at all.

  After the activation failed I of course used Add/Remove programs to uninstall Office 2010.  This is when all programs no longer works correctly.
