Update that messed up!

Last night, I've updated my computer and turn it off. When I turned it back this morning he did a disk check, then the wallpaper was black and the icons for shortcuts were gone, but words were always there. Then I went through my pictures and noticed those not appeared or the words are there and open them in gimp, very well, but I can't see them when you like it. Can someone help me please! I tried to do a system restore, but he makes mistakes.

Hi cavemans11,

1. what happens when you tried the system restore?

2. what happens if you click on the icons?

Method 1

See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it works.

Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

Method 2

For the issue of wallpaper, I suggest that you run the aero Troubleshooter If you are using windows 7 and check if it works.

Open the Aero Troubleshooter

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Aero-Troubleshooter

If you use Windows vista, then change the desktop theme and check if it works.

Check also updates have been installed before the problem occurred.

    ·        What are the updates that you have installed on the computer once you have met the question (number of KB updates)?

    Click on the below link to check what are the updates must be installed on the system and manually install the updates one after you download it from the Microsoft Web site.

    I have windows 7 x 64 Version 6.1.7600.16385. My windows update has only downloaded and installed a fix (KB947821 on 22/03/14. In the event err log # 2147942487command line: "C\:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WUSA '". "»» "EXE" "Windows Update Troubleshooter said" search for missing or corrupted files. I did a sfc/scannow and everything was fine, that the settings are incorrect... Went to computer management by looking at the windows log. Event ID was found in respect of the implementation of 3. Looks like I've lost all my updates. Window update is only showing KB947821 HOT of difficulty. All my other downloading updates for the past two weeks included Microsoft Office Update that I can't see anything there all gone. I check the installed updates and 14 updates that don't settle all gone. Windows Update indicates any problem or error #. It says Windows update installed "Never". I tried the solution to the difficulty of corruption problems MSI software update registration. Help I don't know where to go from here. I ran the windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which came with no error. In the community he sent me to back registry which I do not know how to do. Can I save on my hard drive or another source.

I'm not computer savvy, but I do what I can do better. Had problems with windows update not install and now not download or install 2 MOS. So where and how can I know what updates I need after that this problem is corrected.  Thank you

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

  • Google says that Thunderbird does not respect safety standards. They specficly the list, Thunderbird and MS Outlook. Will there be an update that resolves this problem?

    I tried to have thunderbird connect and download email from one of my google accounts. I kept getting errors of password, then one email from Google on another account, telling me that this account has failed. partial quote below. They indicate that Thunderbird no longer meets modern safety standards. Will there be an update that will fix this?

    Quote and links of google with details about the new security configuration. --------

    Hi Bruce,
    

    Recently, we have blocked an attempt to connect to your account [...].

    Connect attempt details
    Date & time: Tuesday, February 3, 2015 02:54:40 UTC
    Geographical area: New York, USA.

    If it was you
    You can switch to an application made by Google like Gmail to access your account (recommended) or change your settings to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps so that your account is no longer protected by modern security standards.

    For more information, see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255.

    There may be an update, it is highly debated. "modern safety standard" Google are trying to force all power is a web standard not a standard mail. To work properly, the application should act as a browser. Something of a security problem for an email client that is not a browser.

    They mention Outlook or Thunderbird, as they are the soloists. The truth is there is not an email on the planet other than Google apps web client in a browser or on a mobile device that meet the standard. Want your Yahoo or Hotmail account to collect your messages to Gmail... No, they are less secure and in this function. Wish that Google can use to retrieve the messages of others... wow they use the less secure approach to POP and IMAP with password authentication.

    But Google now have your phone number to add to their gold mine limited personal information to serve adds with.

    The bottom line is to enable less secure apps. They are in line with standards applications. They are not less safe, they do not respect arbitrary authentication standard Googles.

  • How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please?

    How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please? If possible, please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my situation.

    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually recorded in a updates or updates folder in the program folder or the Firefox application.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    Mac: /Applications/Firefox.app/updates "/path_to/Firefox.app/Updated.app"
    Linux: "/path_to/firefox/updated"
    Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    
  • Is there a way to get a list of all applications / updates that are cached on your server?

    Is there a way to get a list of all applications / updates that are cached on your server?  Of course, we see the space that contains each category.  But I would like a detailed list of the individual items that are actually cached.

    ITD be even better if I could get a scoreboard that showed me how many times a particular point was served to customers.

    Yes.  But you need a little magic Terminal to get the desired data.  Caching server is managed by a sqlite database.  To examine the contents, follow these basic steps:

    1: connect to the database using the following command:

    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db

    2: to structure the data, run these two commands to the sqlite command-line prompt:

    .blog column

    . Headers on

    3: to find everything that is stored, run this command (you'll get iCloud cached documents, books, iOS apps, etc.):

    Select * from ZASSET;

    4: to narrow the results down to elements called by software updates, try this:

    Select * from ZASSET where ZURI as "content %";

    You could get a line that looks similar to the following:

    403 2 6 0 2012986793 474949928.477396 476912032.644505 e03448847909547fb8c7d4ecd5a7b6dd FAB32A72-DE33-469D-A7DF-3CE1A1F9A4D2 on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 18:00:30 GMT

    / Content/downloads/42/44/031-30888/bhrkylcnycxmtug9daw3g4magqb7dl7hba/OSXUpdComb o10.1

    (added the newline for readability)

    It is an OS X Combo update.  It is located on the drive to library/server/cache/Data/FAB32A72-DE33-469D-A7DF-3CE1A1F9A4D2 / the file is probably named 0, but if you want to use it, just add at the end of the .pkg file.

    I hope this helps.  Put server cache saves a lot of data.

    Oh, to quit the sqlite command line tool, simply type .quit and press return.

  • updates that have failed the day 1, won't they update automatically the next day? and persevering until they are right? or what I need to do it manually? Dang! Tell me that it is not so...

    OK, so I'm at a dead end and had to buy a computer laptop refurb when my hard drive died while he's on leave.  Bought Monday, they had XP on it, but I checked the updates and it had 74 must be installed.

    I don't have access at home so I tried to install everything that was needed every day of the library since I bought this laptop on Monday.  On day 1, he said 74 needed to install updates, then I guess that the automatic far did a little more every day.  Finally the Service Pk 3 failed to install for the last 2 days.

    Now today I try again, but I'm looking back and see that some other updates in recent days have also failed.

    I don't want to go back and install each separately out of 110 undates installed.

    My question is: If one day some updates failed, the next day, wouldn't it automatically DL updates that failed the day before, get current?  If I were a computer, I would not keep DL and install new updates until the 'old' have been installed correctly.  So I just reasoning flawed or computers work this way?  Please tell me that I can't go back and redo all of those failed?

    Thanks a lot for your help in this matter!

    U

    .. .Meanwhile service pk 3 tells me he has finished loading and is ready to install, restart, etc... and I just canceled the installation because it seems that to me... If these other failures are not fixed first there will be the svc pk 3 effect, as well.  Of course they wish that no cat could have answered my question instantly... but no, he referred me to a technical person...

    Well, perfectionism causes procrastination... and sometimes it's just maddening... Please help me?

    How can I keep the updates that I reject in the following lists of available updates?

    Once you * hide * them - you won't see them even * less * they are re-certificate/changed/updated.  To whom it may * look like * see them again - but you can give the update more than a quick glance - because if she was re-certificate/updated / changed somehow - you might want to install this time.

    Hello

    1 you get an error message when you access the emails?
    2. do you remember the number updates that you have installed?
