Update of Windows security for spyware blocked some programs.__HOW CAN I UNDO A WINDOWS UPDATE? Any other problem?
I use w XP home with Mozilla.
Windows Update has forced me to install some kind of update - said he would check spyware, etc. I say forced because he would just go away from my toolbar. Well, this facility created all sorts of problems, in particular: I was with sopcast to watch sports channels on PC, now sopcast does not work. Shows some error message internet explore (I do not USE EXPLORER). tried to reinstall sopcast 303 - cannot do. Tried to do system restore, some help. HOW CAN I CANCEL AN UPDATE OF WINDOWS?

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

Hello world.
It will be long and windy.
I have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530.
im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.
- Slow start.
- Network at startup initialization problem.
- Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
- some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. Dell touchpad, magic disc, pda.net and perhaps language bar.
- programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
- Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. i.e. open office, cakewalk sonar.
Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.
I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.
- has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or cervix causing the problem. found nothing.
- has ran the command cmd, I forgot what's it called some thing/something else. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
- Used pc AVG scanner. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
- reinstalled the network drivers. did not help.
- Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
- Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well
Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the Enigma.
im running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. as if lately, about 3 months ago, my laptop started to start slowly and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away like internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a little more resources e.g. cakewalk Sonar. In addition, other startup programs and services such as Dell touch pad, magic disk, PDA. NEt don't start until after the problem goes away. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.
Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.
If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Kosmosis,
I had the same problem, and after fishing trawl through the web to find answers, this is the most reliable solution that I found. At the very least, it will help to determine where the problem is.
(1) reboot your computer.
(2) go to Run--> services.msc
(3) to sort the list by status (click the heading)
(4) see those blocked at the 'boot '? These are your incriminated objects.
Apparently, Windows has problems initializing services, and until he solves, or give up, he can't go the rest of the startup procedure. Different people get stuck on different things. For me, it was the 'Server' service as jams it for 20 minutes or more.
You have 2 options:
Right click 1)--> properties and change the Startup Type to "automatic (Delayed). This requires to load later, that hopefully allows all the rest at the end of initialization so that you can use the computer first.
(2) read the Description of the service and see if you can find whats causing it to get stuck. In my case, 'Server' rule of network discovery, file sharing and printing. I realized that I UNPLUGGED a NAS from Buffalo, who worked as a print server as well. My windows was blocked to find a printer on a network that was no longer available. Remove the printer from devices solved the problem.
If all else fails, you can always try to disable the service. This is probably not the best reccomendation, like its there for a reason, but it might help you to troubleshoot.

Your best solution is going to be a huge part of patience. WU was extremely slow during the last 6 months. I got a new facility just a day that lasted 7 hours ago to run.
If your closing button indicates the exclamation point. Do a restart and let him finish settle. Return to Windows Update, then start it. If you use a laptop, turn off the sleep function. Go to bed and check in the morning.

Cannot install ANY video game on Windows 7 (and other problems) _
No more than 5 MINUTES after starting my new desktop computer the first time, I started having these problems:
(1) when I try to install a game, I get an error message that says "cannot continue the installation. SAMPLE.exe file missing. "Soon after, a message in the lower right corner will slide upward, saying 'virus Trojan in SAMPLE.exe. The file has been quarantined. When I disable the antivirus software, I can install the game but I can't run it. It hangs after 5 minutes, and then a box pop up appears and says "cannot find the file SAMPLE.exe.
All the video games I've tried to install are compatible with windows 7.
(2) when I try to make changes to programs or certain parameters, a box pop up appears and says "You must be logged in as Administrator", when I am logged on as administrator.
(3) Windows 7 will reorganize randomly my desktop icons.
(4) Windows Explorer starts that it self.
(5) sometimes programs will not download to the location I specified. He decided to put it somewhere else.

- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
One thing you can try try the system restore, safe mode.
Start the computer in safe mode with networking capabilities (hold DOWN F8 while the computer starts).

I'm having this same problem, and would be grateful for the help.
I have a laptop Windows 8 with 2013 Office installed. I put no administrator accounts for all members of the family except me and turned on Family Safety, blocking all applications except those approved by me. It was all working well for about a year, until very recently (maybe 2 months ago).
One day, the wife and children reported Family Safety started MS Word it blocks all their user (non-administrator) accounts. And this will happen * after * the application was already started for a minute or two! (I don't know what has changed, or if there was a Windows update that has just occurred, etc.). Word would be arrested, and invite him to the dialog box asking permission ("my mother is here... ") appeared. Enter the correct credentials admin does not help, and Word does not start with the subsequent launches. I repeat the question now.
Other comments/symptoms:
-Word and PowerPoint are blocked, but Excel has worked well.
-All 2013 office applications work fine on the admin account.
-Parental control settings are correct (I quintuple checked now).
-Disable the parental control completely to any non-administrator user account allows applications Office work very well on this account.
-Create a new user account not administrator for... This test also the same problem.
-In the course of running Windows Update (to date) and reboot... no change.
-Don't search other discussions of the forum... no joy or solutions:http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-security/why-has-family-safety-Windows-8-started-blocking/6d32f9dd-BEF7-4DEE-A2D2-e7e18a5e18cb

Thanks in advance
I still have the same problem as John. I tried all the remedies, including this Court, but nothing seems to work. Family Safety blocks even MS Word.
Hey Wolfe Pack.
I have not tried the suggestion of Winston to remove all files for the parental control settings again. Did you?
In short, this is what I tried in the place, which seems to have helped:
In the admin account, I opened the dialog box to manage parental controls for a child's account settings. Then clicking on the link to the installer apps are allowed. I chose "X can only use apps that I leave" and then at the bottom right you click the box 'disable all' to deselect all applications.
I have logged on to the child's account, then launched the word and allowed him ("my mother is here... ") before any other apps or background allowing deals who wanted permission to run. Launched Word then OK. Then, in various other applications were to be used and popped up, I allowed, too. It's annoying because it meant a lot of Bing and type the admin password for everything that I wanted to use or that runs in the background, but seems not have allowed Word to run again.
This could end up being identical to what Winston has proposed (by deleting all files, effectively erasing all parameters). I'll see how it goes. Let us know if you try it.
