Vista updates landed and laptop slow
Hello
The laptop under Vista keeps very slow operation and finally stops requiring a hard reset.
On the last commissioning, he was asked to run updates day and then stop.
For the last 2 hours, I watched the presentation of Vista 'Update 1 of 2 installation' screen and nothing has changed. The led on the hard drive on the laptop doesn't seem to be either flashing.
He is currently sitting on top of the trash can and will very soon a function it contains.
What would you advise?
Thank you very much
Carl.

There are 19 items in the update and after it closed, the system after completing the update, I was completely unable to start the computer. At one point, I had running CHKDSK and it set a lot of things, but still the system is dead. Startup Repair did not work, nor the system restore... so that Microsoft has managed in a swift move convert my computer from one room works well equipment to an expensive paper weight.
If something done CHKDSK, it means that your HARD drive has bad sectors

connection after the vista update problems
After that windows vista updates, restarts and configures, I can't seem to login screen. I type the correct password, but the screen only flashes for a second and watch the blue progress ring, but then comes back to the right of the login screen. I have to restart and run system restore just to connect, this happened last week with the same update and is quite a nuisance. Updates include:
(important)
Update for Windows Vista (KB971029)Windows malicious software removal tool - March 2011 (KB890830)
(optional)
Updated the Realtek for Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller driver-Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419)
Hi Raziel,
First of all, we will do two important things:
1. DON'T download or install updates from Windows Update for Realtek and Synaptics (or any other device drivers). Instesd of get them through Windows Update, go to the computer or Web sites of the device manufucaturer to get the latest update and install instead. Hide these two Windows updates so they don't mind again. Unless expressly stated by the manufuacturer for updates from the Windows Update driver, always bring manufacturers instead. They are the cause of many problems of update.
2. in prior to starting the updates (and for each 3 other updates and driver updates), create a System Restore Point. Of allows to install the other three updates one at a time and manually instead of through Windows Update. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx and look for the KB number and download the update appropriate for your version of Vista and install it, and restart and make sure that all is well before you more on the following. If we have the same problem, use the restore system back out of it and post back here with the specific update that won't install manually as well as any error information, you can find the problem. If we can reduce it to one, we will have a better chance of coming up with a solution.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Latest Vista updates have picked up my use of the internet and slowed down my system
Last week, I had several automatic updates. In the meantime, updates have been loading on my computer all landed and froze. After the updates, I'll have a terrible time in AOL. The program has slowed down and often gives me an error message that the system is not responding. I contacted AOL who gave me many suggestions that I follow, but I still have problems (more my overall system is slow now). Says to contact Microsoft. It may be a problem with acceleration. I don't have these problems until the updates installed this week.
Now my system restore no longer works. I can't go back to before the updates. What can I do?
Hi andrewgpig,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.
Possible cause would be that updates might conflict with other programs on the computer. Also could have damaged some system files on the computer.
I suggest to try in safe mode and check the performance of the pc first.
To start the computer in safe mode, do in the link below
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx
If it works fine in safe mode, then find the program that is in conflict. The link below shows you how to do a clean boot
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796
If the steps above fail. Try to do a scan sfc
Try to run a SFC scan, to do this, follow these steps:
Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
Type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
I hope this helps. .
Let us know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

Vista update and we now have a black wallpaper - Satellite P300
Windows Vista update last night on our P300 laptop and is now rather weird.
We get only a black background solid and a lot of the icons that we had are gone, and it will not change the wallpaper. Most of the programs are not loading at startup as usual (only anti virus) and most of the things are missing from the start menu... it happened to anyone before? It sounds almost to what they do when you have a pirate copy of Vista (and of course this one IS legitimate as it came with the lappy)...
Any suggestings?
I did not physically see the laptop and won't til tomorrow myself... Although my companion knowing its probably just something simple but thought check here around before that snack.
Thanks :)
Solved the problem...
A windows update some how corrupted the registry.
I hit log off in windows and then tried clicking on the user name to connect (we just auto journal in value) and when trying to load the profile, we had a service user profile Service has no logon.
A system restore fixed the issue... :)

Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity
Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.
After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.
I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.
If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.
Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

Installed Vista Update 1 package and now windows will not start
I have a laptop Acer Aspire 4520 with a 32-bit system 64 x 2 dual core processor with Windows Vista Home Premium and just installed explorer8 updates Vista I get the package. Installed successfully, took about 45 minutes. Tells me to restart my computer. Click on restart. It restarted with goin' through bunch of # s as the first part 24 390 / 74 280 in growing in order to achieve the final number that it stopped at about 34 761 or something like that for over an hour. I assumed that it froze. I did a hard closed down and after reboot door top, unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause and options to start windows normally or start the reboot system (recommended). I chose normally, microsoft corporation logo came on screen with progress/cargo in addition to this box, and then it turns off and rebooted itself. This time I chose the launch startup repair and he went to remove some threads or something and add as 9 things that did not file names. He said he was doing a CLNDSK? It was the only time he's done this. Now, either you the hit button brings up a blue screen that says "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down windows to avoid damaging your computer." If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: ensure that new anuy hardware or software is properly installed. If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode. Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000C1F5 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0 x 0000000 0x00000000) is once again this whole message on a blue screen in which you can proceed to any other, but to stop the machine. I even tried the advanced, including Boot Options: repair your computer, safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt Mode Mode Mode, boot logging, enable video low resolution (640 x 480), last good known Configuration (Advanced), Directory Services Restore Mode, Debug Mode and start Windows normally. Disable the automatic restart on system failure works. Another option is the F2 key on startup. I CAN'T go near a window to start it's totally out! And I do NOT have a disk of Vista, that it came with it. Need solutions before I go out my hair. (Good operating system until the download and I only downloaded this because I download Adobe Flash Player 11.2 problems and I thought about updating my Windows can help) Ready to take this computer back unless it is quickly fixed.

go to their website and look for a driver and software download section
