Vista dies whenever an update is made.

I have a dell xps m1330 laptop computer. It's a gift of second hand from a friend. It came with vista Basic installed.

The laptop does not start upward, unless the version of vista that came on the DVD is installed. No updates made no entry. If I install the new updates from windows update, or the most recent nvidia graphics driver it ' l work fine until I have shut down and restart. I will never start again. The windows loading bar lights for exactly 1 second, then freezes, then flashes a blue screen for a micro second, then there is nothing but a black screen, then it stops and restarts, and the screen "windows did not close properly" comes up. It is then a continuous cycle.

I thought it could have been a bad installation. So I reinstalled, vista basic several times but it still happens. Then I thought to corrupt on the DVD data, so I took my PC vista Home premium DVD and installed on the laptop to test if it works and it does exactly the same thing. I thought he might have the overwhelming driver nvidia graphics boot deals, so after a clean install of vista family premium, I downloaded only the components of windows vista from microsoft update. The problem was still there. Then, after a clean install last I downloaded only the nvidia driver and the problem has always existed.

Doesn't matter what major piece of software, download, windows, or otherwise my computer starts up every time after that it is closed. Blue screens and then dies.

The only way to get it working again is to insert and run a vista dvd.

Help, please. Thank you.

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  • Vista SP1 does not update problems and System Restore returns a message "system restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer has not changed"with the error code (0x80071AA7)

    0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem

    So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update.  So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything.  It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista.  I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck.  When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing.  So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1.  He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1.  Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:

    "System restore was not entirely successful.  File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "

    then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time.  If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it.  I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.

    If you need more information please let me know and evil provides everything I can

    Hello
     
    Follow the steps and check if the problem persists.
     
    Step 1:
     
    I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    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 must 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.
     
    Step 2:
     
    As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.
     
    Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.

  • I can stop all my addons disabled whenever it updates of Firefox?

    Whenever Firefox updates, it disables all my addons and presents me with a line of tabs, in which I need to check a checkbox, click a button to continue and select restart, or not, for each of the addons. I think I do something wrong, because surely I'm not the only person who would find this irritating, because it seems to happen once a week, but I searched the menu, selected "Automatically install updates", and it is not automatic.

    This occurs when the extension of the registry files are either deleted or get corrupted and the new files are created.

    Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the side of the left end of the search bar ('Find updates' button in older versions of Firefox) to check if there is an update available compatibility.

    If this did not help, then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

    This can also be caused by problems with preferences.

    Rename or remove the file prefs.js and possible numbered prefs-# .js and a user.js file possible to reset all default prefs.

  • Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name.

    I am connected to wifi in the hotel (Orange) and I can't SEND email, I just have to receive them.

    Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name. This from my mail server (not orange because that one is ok I have access to the internet).

    Most of the suppliers do not let you send if you are not connected through them, or they have special settings.  So for now, see if you can access your e-mail via webmail and use this interface and in the future, contact your ISP and ask them if there is a way to send emails when you are connected through a different network.

    I decided to do a clean update with Vista and using the update feature so I understand not properly installed.  The problem is that I'm downloading and installing updates for more than 16 hours today and I'm not even up to Service Pack 2.  I missing something here or is there something wrong with MicroSoft fundementally?  2 hours is too long!  Much less than 16 hours.  I have a cable internet connection and a quad-processor, so I know that's not the equipment.   How can these people have a job when there are so many people unemployed?  If I'm supposed to do the update of the tasks otherwise, why me I didn't.  This is really unacceptable.  What's the matter with you people?
