• Windows Vista crashes due to the update of windows

  I just reinstalled Windows Vista 32 bit on my Lenovo PC after experiencing problems due to a virus. However, during the execution of that Windows update, I started noticing problems because my computer would freeze randomly. Neither the mouse nor keyboard would allow me an entry stop properly or to restart the computer, so I had to cut the power, whenever this happens. on the way back - turn on the computer, I noticed that the operating system is trying to update something and fails or succeeds every time.

• 64-bit Windows vista hangs after you run the update

  Hello

  Last night I ran the update of windows on my 64 bit vista laptop, he said there are 2 updates important (I don't remember what they were) and 1 optional (for security essentials).  I chose to install them all, let run updates, restarted the computer when he was asked and then pinned the problem.  Windows starts up nicely, all my startup apps pop up like normal (things like security basics, steam, etc.) and, if I don't touch it, it looks fine.  Sometimes I can get as opening firefox, sometimes just moving my mouse t - it, but the computer just hangs.  I can still move my mouse (sometimes it turns in a circle, as the computer working on something) but I can't click on anything whatsoever, cannot Ctrl + alt + delete... my only way of l ' down made a difficult start.

  I tried to use the tool of the previous version to roll back to before the update, the Wizard works well and said completing, but I still have the same question.  If I'm in safe mode or safe mode with networking, it works fine. I even tried to delete pending.xml to see if it was an update stuck but who did not (cmd said that there was no pending.xml found to remove)

  Anyone know what this might be or how to fix it?  I'm fresh out of ideas

• Windows Vista boot problems, after an automatic update

  Can someone help me with the boot?
  When I start my laptop it goes until is displayed: 'No configuration update 3 of 3' and all stays at 0% for 1 or 2 minutes and after it stops automatically. It restarts again and appears the same following 2 minutes and stops.
  How can I fix this without having to install the DVD? I don't have the installation of my Windows DVD. But with on DVD with also windows vista, I tried to fix it, he showed me that it is not a compatible version of vista on the DVD.

  Hello

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

• My Lotus iNotes will no longer send emails due to the update of windows

  My Lotus iNotes is no longer send emails, however still receives. I keep getting error messages. It's already happened and my work, IT supports the Office told me that it was due to a Windows security update, but my computer has recently updated its self, does anyone know what update would it?

  Hello

  1. What is the full/exact error message?

  2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  3 is specific to the program the issue?

  Initially check updates have recently been installed on the computer.

  See the Windows updates are installed

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  Follow the steps and check if that helps.

  Method 1: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
  Disable the antivirus software:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3: System Restore -it takes the computer to the point when the problem did not exist. See if you can find a restore point right where the problem had not demonstrated upward.
  Reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

  What is system restore?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

  After restoring the computer to a previous point, you need to install the update, one at a time to verify the update is the cause of the problem.

  Let us know the status of the issue.

  Hi, I use windows vista and for the last two days every time I shut down my computer, load 16 updates. Then when I restart my computer, it will start up repair and system restore.

Spotify, Winamp, etc. were all still works fine, so I assume that it was not pregnant-related, but rather something to do with the browser. I checked the updates of the plugin, flash etc, everything was up to date. I tried another web browser (Google Chrome), same problem. I then tried the things usually offered on the internet such as checking msacm32.drv is present, check that nothing is cut in the mixer volume, also attempted to execute a file that fixed my registry, but I received an error. I also ran a codec tweak tool & who said everything was fine.

  I ran out of ideas so don't have a restored system about a week ago (about when I thought that the problem started), and voila, my sound was back.

  However, windows this morning updated itself (I'm on windows vista), and now my sound disappeared again. As I am quite computer illiterate, I am struggling to understand what is causing the problem.

  The installed updates today were:

• No sound due to the update of the Bios

  After the recent update Bios my computer's speakers is no longer working. I was able to reset the speakers and have since been able to watch videos youtube with the sound but WMP or Quicktime no longer work and I get an error message whenever I try to view a vid. I saw that it is supposed to be a solution for installing an older bios, but it asks you you must have an ID, etc.. In addition, since the update my computers performance has been lackluster to say the least. Any help would be greatly appreciated. HP needs to fix to fix this fast, I made videos & ads for my employer, and it is a huge inconvience!

  I was able to find a solution... If you go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/prodTopCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=18703&dest_page=product

  Choose your exact system (you can also access this your support assistant go find help and choosing access resources online for your PC) - then choose software downloads and the driver - choose your operating system - select driver / audio and choose a. I chose the one from 2012-8-13. Save the download to your desktop and run it.

  WMP, quicktime, itunes & all work again. Performance issues also declined. Good luck and best regards!
