    The problem occurs when you change your hard drive for a bigger, in my hard drive of the case a GB Western Digital 340 WD 750 GB drive hard.

    For the Windows automatic updates again you need update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driverdriver. It will not be updated when you have intel check your drivers! For me, only the 9.5.6.1001 version worked. This driver can be found at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02219204 .

  • Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211

    I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches.  It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago.  He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function.  After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore.  It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.

    The problem is that the update service does not start.  An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is.  Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:

    1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.

    2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)

    3. install the KB2720211.

    4. installation KB2734608

    5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer.  I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.

  • Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

    After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

    It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

    It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

    Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

    Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

    All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Reset.

    Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:

    Reset.

    Try to get updates.

    If it still does not work, try this...

    1. Start an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:

      net stop wuauserv

      CD %SystemRoot%\System32

      Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

      net start wuauserv

    3. Reset
    4. Try to reinstall updates

    * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

    • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.


    * Note *
    if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

    STILL no?

    Use this FixIt:

    I have a Dell Studio XPS until yesterday worked fine. I plug in a memory (USB) card and that's when the problem occurred.

    Today when I started, it connect to internet via WiFi. The map shows in Device Manager and are passed through controls to enable the automatic. Wired connection is not a problem that's just a very long Ethernet run and WiFi was better. I have other computers on the network, there is a problem with what I think is that the registry is corrupted. It seems that the Wireless LAN and audio are butting heads as the audio is displayed as an X when I try to fix the connection.

    On the bottom bar on Windows 7, it shows a signal with an X on it. Help, please!

    Hello

    I have a laptop model Toshiba P205-56347 running Vista home premium and a lynksis WRT54G V8 router model.  The WLAN light is solid and the internet light flashes on the Linksys.  I have Comcast cable as my ISP.

    I've seen reported similar problems.  All of a sudden my wirless acess stopped working, some networks are displayed and I get the message 'windows wireless service does not work on the computer.  I am not able to restart the windows wireless.  I can't connect to the internet on the laptop.  I have a DELL PC and can access the internet here if necessary.

    In the network and Discovery Center, I see that network discovery is disabled.  I can't set it to on.

    Under system devices, I have the following network cards: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS6.0).

    Help, please.  I'd appreciate any help.  I need a good starting point for resolution and wouldn't start using suggestions that corrects other issues.  I design financial systems and purchase online, but I'm not a technical person with regard to updates Vista, drivers, etc..

    Thank you! After reviewing the responses to similar problems, can anyone suggest if I should try one of the following values: 1. run SCF/scannow at the command prompt I don't know what that's going to fix it and do not want to make the current problem worse. 2. download the driver for the network drivers. If you would be grateful if someone could help me find the driver and download it. 3 reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 since the restoration of Toshiba CD I would appreciate greatly any information. Donna

    Hi blondswede,

    You can try running sfc/scannow to see if you have corrupted files. That won't be a further problem on your pc. After that, you want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your laptop, especially drivers of the NIC (network card). Go to the following link to Toshiba for your model and download those:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=SB&OS=&category=&MOID=1757721&RPN=PSPB3U&modelFilter=P205-S6347&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

    If you're still having problems, and it has recently emerged as a problem, you can try to restore your system to a point in time before the problem started to use the system restore. Here are the steps to follow:

      1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
      2. In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
      3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
      4. Click Finish.

      The System Restore tool

      If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

      To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

      The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Your anti-virus software is in conflict with Windows updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus:

    Disable the 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.
