  Hello

  You can upgrade on the spot if you have the CD of the OS and it doesn't delete the files or folders that you have that exists.

  Upgrade in place reinstalls the operating system in the same folder as if you upgrading from one version of Windows to another. An upgrade in place usually will solve, if not all, problems of windows, replacement of missing dll, etc..

  Note: Before installing, be sure to back up data.

• Satellite A60-106 BIOS update Boot failure causes

  Hi, last night I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my PSA60E satellite to the latest version.

  It seems to have failed because I can no longer turn the machine, the lights come on and the player clicks a couple of times before she turned off her car, this process takes about 2 seconds. That this problem occurred immediately after upgrading the BIOS I guess that the 2 are related.

  Does anyone have suggestions as to my next step?

  Thanks in advance Pete.

  Hello

  Well, if it s not possible to start unit after update BIOS procedure it seems that you have damaged module ROM. In this case, it is not possible to do something.
  In my opinion the best way is to contact the service partner. Only the ASP can handle the problem :(

  Good bye

• Vista, update 4.9.218.0 (3140527 KB) for Security Essentials caused a problem starting black screen.

  Discovered this cause after several days using the Safe Mode and system restore to get the job of the computer. I couldn't uninstall it so I reinstalled a new version of Security Essentials, and this seems to have cured the problem.

  But this bad patch has "successfully" installed on my computer several times

  over several days last week and is always sent by Microsoft for installation.

  What is going on? Security Essentials will be polluted by him again?

  What should I do next?

  Hello cragusbe, you need to hide the update. It caused the same problem for many MSE Windows Vista users, maybe even all of them: http://www.vistax64.com/windows-updates/304379-update-microsoft-security-essentials-4-9-218-0-kb3140527.html

• My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

  original title: I have the same problem posted by Don Gagen on 16 April. My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

  I installed some updates Vista Home Basic important for my laptop on Wednesday, and since then, my computer won't start. I get to the first page of Windows that shows "Configuration updates 0% complete" for about 15 seconds and then restart the machine. This loop continues indefinitely. I spoke to the manufacturer (Dell) who say there have been some recent problems with the update service, and I have to pay (£69) to address this problem. I don't really want to pay for a repair, when the problem does not seem to have been caused by me or my computer. I tried all the options from the start menu, but there seems to be no way to solve this problem, for example, in 'Safe' Mode, the problem persists, and 'Last successful login' does not work either. It will not launch command prompt. I ran Dell diagnostic check before extended initialization and there seems to be nothing wrong with the hardware. I have no disks system of re - install Vista (and that I would lose all my data anyway). I can also access the ID of the license of Vista. The computer is no longer under warranty, and I have no agreement to support hardware or software for it.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion.

• Vista updates causing interference day and PC crashing.

  Greetings,

  I have a tiny little problem. It seems that the new updates for Windows Vista has been causing some intolerable freeze and crash my PC. I don't understand quite updates are causing it. How ever I can officially say that BEFORE I updated my machine it worked almost perfect (except for the graphics). I won't be pesmistic, it really worries me. On top of her crashing and freezing. I also noticed a sufficient amount of gain and loss data. I.E. I have several backups of games on pc before I played. but when I'm done with extracting files and remove approximately "20" of them only '13' will do for the recycling bin, so my (OS - operating system) * HDD partition * wins extra/hidden files. I also noticed that my PC has not been suggested to download SP2 from the Auto Update Center. I had to recover this file manually on the microsoft site. Please explain this problem and please not to recommend a re-installation of the operating system... I have already this is plenty of time to do it either.

  Side of a person responding to this hopeful message. because I have problems with my pc could you please send me a response @ (* address email is removed from the privacy *) thank you.  "ACEs".

• Windows Vista update causes applications non - IE to be denied access to the internet

  I have a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 unfortunately comes with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has caused me a lot of problems with conflicts between her and others, package applications, and now I am forced to use my network at home for route information and documents that must move through the internet by sharing them with another computer Windows XP which is also configured exactly as my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. I look forward to wean myself off of all MS products, possibly other that MS Office, I use a lot and plays always well for me to wire many years and updates/upgrades. Not the same for MS Windows Vista, however. My experience, similar to many other forum users, has been constantly frustrating over the years I've had to deal with it.  I lost a lot of time dealing with problems caused by code errors in the last set of MS Windows Vista updates that made all my package applications that require internet access unusable.

  I contacted the support of Lenovo and support forums for my problem, and they too cannot provide all the answers that address this issue that is causing me to spend much too much time I could use to work at a rate of $65 / hr, so you can see that this is not only an inconvenience.

  Before someone points me to the myriad other similar positions for possible answers, let me say that I probably have alread read it and tried all the suggested actions, without success. I need to REAL answers and REAL support, and I need it NOW.  Also, I don't think I should have to pay for the support which has been made necessary by the negligence of MS to test their updates for compatibility issues with the popular, free package critical applications for the safety of MS OS system of a user, such as AVG Free antivirus, ZoneAlarm Free firewall personal , OR who are competitors for their navigation on the web or by email client applications. I am not now under the other another firewall that MS Vista firewall having had to uninstall my firewall ZoneAlarm Free. I even had one of my other previously compatible and effective anti-malware/spyware apps, AdAware, uninstall Lavasoft. No matter what I did, which was suggested to me by MS resources support or Lenovo support resources, this problem, which began shortly after the last round of all the months of downloads to fix security and facilities, persists and cost me more money in revenue and lost time every day.

• Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.

  Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.  There has been no change to my system hardware or software otherwise.  After that windows update Setup, he asked to restart the computer.  When restarted, the computer screens and past blue to the quick menu for safe mode and last known configuration to work.  None of these mode of work, not to shelter or otherwise.  The only thing that he will now implementing market is quickly flashing the blue screen and restart once again to this quick menu.

  It's really annoying because I have important files on this computer work and can't afford to get in shape!   I put my confidence in using windows and keep it updated.   During the installation of your updates, it made my system fails and does not restart.   I'll be very upset if this update of windows xp causes me to have to reformat and lose important files!

  Any advice on a solution?   I need to get this computer work as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

  If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.

  NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or installed updates.

• Updates Windows 7 boot failure cause (don't loop, no error message)

  I havnt been able to determine if there is a particular windows update which is causing my computer loop just after the windows logo is displayed at startup 7. An update every time happens I have to perform a restore, which sometimes failed and ive had to do a reinstall is complete. Even if this was done, I always meet the same problem when it comes to updates. I also bought a new hard drive, reinstalled windows on it and tried again, same problem with updates.

  Even more disturbing, it seems now that when I installed office 2003 or even openoffice that I encounter the same problem... #.

• Computer won't turn on after a Vista update. How can I fix?

  Yesterday, I tried to install a Vista update.  It was wide enough because the message says that I wouldn't be able to use my computer for about an hour.  I started the process and the left.  4hours later I returned and my computer is waiting for permission to restart to continue the update process.  I rebooted and for a while it seemed to make progress.  Again, I have left for another 3 hours or more, and when I got back to my computer was hibernating and wouldn't wake up.  After trying to wake up in vain for 15 minutes, I made a forced stop.  During its restart in safe mode, I got a message saying that the computer failed to start and suggested a system recovery, who did.  He worked on that when I had to go to work.  Throughout this process, he has been connected with a full battery.  4 hours later I went back to work.  Despite being connected, with the lit sheet icon, my computer was off with the battery low light flashing.  I tried to turn it on.  He showed the black and grey, window prompting me to start in SafeMode or start regularly, before I could choose, the low battery alarm when off the coast and off the computer.  Now, I can't turn on my computer with or without the battery then that plugged or unplugged.  I don't know what the exact date was, just that it's an update to Vista.

  Hello

  It sounds like a hardware error which would happen at the next reboot and is
  probably incidental to the update. You need help from a real computer store (one who
  internal service and not of leeks and display a Best Buy or other stores)
  or support from the system manufacturer.

  I hope this helps.
