  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

  • Restart after that a windows update problem with VirusScan from McAfee (total Protection)

    I'm under 64-bit Windows VISTA Home Premium SP 1 on a Dell Studio 540 desktop.  8.0 GB RAM.  Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU @ 2 .66GHz.
    Late last night, I started the PC to go online.  Shortly after, I was invited by Windows update to restart.  So I closed off everything and rebooted, except that I kept scheduled analysis of McAfee, which I set up for Fridays.  I have McAfee Total Protection, which includes VirusScan.  That the PC would shut down, there was a message on the screen of McAfee who said, essentially, stop this scan before restarting.  I'm paraphrasing - I didn't write down the exact message.  After reboot, I started again the background anti-virus scanning.  After a few minutes, I received the following message:
    Microsoft Windows
    Order McAfee VirusScan Scan - Are asked to work and was closed. A problem with the application to stop functioning properly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available.
    I have not received a solution of Windows.  I completely uninstalled McAfee Total Protection, following the instructions of McAfee, then reinstalled.  Everything went very well with these processes.  I have yet to receive an indication of the McAfee software that something is wrong.  After the reinstallation, I tried a scan, but got the same error message as above after a few minutes.  It does not occur immediately, analysis continues for about 5 minutes, then abandoned.
    Chatted with Dell today.  They suggested a system restore, I will try then.

    What updates have been installed?

    During certain infections that are designed to defeat security software will cause the bomb on analyses with an error.

    I also suggest you contact the McAfee Support since it is their product which blocks.  http://service.McAfee.com/TechSupportHome.aspx?LC=1033&SG=TS

    To view installed updates:

    1. click on start > Control Panel > Classic view > Windows Update.

    2. along the top, click view update history.

    3. click on installed updates

  • Windows 7 problem with playback flash memory

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my computer. It cannot read any flash memory except two memory cards I've used before on the same computer and my external hard drive. When I put any other (new) flash memory I don't see any information in this respect. It's as if there is no memory flash. Only what I hear when I put it, it's just a noise and nothing else. How it can be fixed? I use Windows 7.

    Kind regards!

  • Windows 7 problems with gel applications, programs stop working until you restart

    Windows 7 is a stupid IDEA! . Since then, I have installed windows 7 64-bit on my 64-bit machine. I had problems. Programs to decide that they will not open until I restart. IE and Firefox both freeze when all Web sites are trying to load a video. Also other programs will just stop working and turn off while they don't reopen until I restart again. I installed 7 as an upgrade not a clean install, I'm not sure how to go about backup up files for that. I'm also extremely ready to roll back to Vista, I have not had ANY problems with him. I am also about to throw my laptop through a wall with windows 7 and microsoft. Thank you for another piece of trash! (and headaches). With all that money, you would think they can actually DO SOMETHING RIGHT!. I have now lost $120 on garbage, might as well use windows 7 CD as a Brawler of ice this winter.

    Rants are part of the dealing with technology. As long as they are against the technical and personal equipment no technical, I think we've all been there. Ironically, two days after my message praising Win7, I had a spontaneous reboot that seems to be associated with a known issue with the sensitivity of kernel-power. I was able to reproduce twice, so I think I have a work around until the bug is addressed.
