Updates to Windows after the restoration of the system

Yesterday morning I tried to turn my computer laptop sony vaio (vista 32 bit) and received an error message saying that unable to start Windows.  I finally had to do a system restore complete (fortunately I was able to save my files personal & photos) after having exhausted all other options.  What a mess!  Here's the problem: running Windows update there are 71 important updates being downloaded, but I don't see anything on SP1 or SP2.  Most of the updates are "security update for vista."  I don't see updates for SP2 components.

Should I install the updates that my computer downloads or should I first install SP1 and 2 via the microsoft Web site?  I really don't need more computer problems right now.  I apologize if someone has already asked this question, I tried to search before posting.

Yes, that's the way it should be done. In fact, you will need to run several update scans to get SP1 and 2 and current.  There is usually at least some mandatory pre-required updates that must be installed before a SP.

Yes, it is long and slow and painful. It's 'the joy of Windows '... (smile). It is also why, after you get windows patches to update you should make a backup copy of full Image (actually more that one is a good idea) using a tool that runs from a bootable CD/DVD.  In this way, in the future, you'll have a recovery point that will work around this pain. I also like to make another copy of the image after you have reinstalled all my basic applications, such as office and public services.

I also suggest that it is a good time to consider to repartition your hard drive. Minimum partitioning that I love, this is C: for the operating system and applications and a separate drive D: for "personal" data files In this way when you need to re - install windoze once again it's less traumatic. In fact, I have my personal folders 'Profile' redirected to the data reader. Even if I can not not reuse in the re-installation of things like the old office are always there to return.

  • After restoring factory and updates for Windows 7, the system now asks passwords

    Recently had to do a factory restore on a toshiba laptop with windows 7 preinstalled top. has restarted the machine once he had comepleted and now it says Admin profile is locked and my username and password do not work


    1 - password was never set on the user profile. (Yes it may have been stupid not to do that for security, but that a person uses the laptop)

    2nd why admin profile has been locked?

    3rd - without having a password to disk or save it on a USB key, how can I get around this?

    4th - also why Microsoft charges to ask questions and get support on their own products?

    * original title - Windows 7 - had to factory restore after updating to windows 7. now, cannot connect to admin or normal user logon. said needs password. PASSWORDS were never defined for this? Please advise *.

    no disc to try this.

    Ive managed to get it to load the office by changing the settings via safe mode, but with a full restore (some missing drivers, IE the sound card), it always seems to be filled with questions. It runs terribly slow now and still doesn't let me do half of what I need to do to restore its former glory.

    at the present time, this will make a nice door stop or decoration of the table such that it cannot serve to something else other than to gather dust.

    does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem that began after I installed the latest update of windows 7, 2 days ago.

    Try this:

    To access the system recovery environment in Windows 7, simply start your PC, just before the system loads the Windows operating system. Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options. You will see a new option "Repair your computer", select this option and press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

    This will allow you to start system recovery environment and access to the same tools.

    Hi Carl,

    I suggest you go through this article to Java which can be useful.

    Why should I remove old versions of Java in my system?

    Removal of previous versions of the .net Framework is based on the applications that are running on the computer.

    For applications, if you have an application based on any .NET Framework on the computer, you cannot delete it since you have need to support the application runs correctly.

    .NET framework 3.5 SP1 includes .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. This means that .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can not be deleted because they are the sine qua non of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If you have any application based on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please do not remove .NET 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1.

    I would also not to uninstall the security updates that are important for the security of your computer.
