Windows configuration problem on Aspire M

If anyone on the forum has experienced the following? My Aspire M displays the following message after trying to download windows updates: "configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.

For about 30 minutes, the co0mputer is in this mode to 'come back' and I have to just sit there and wait that it happen by itsexercise. Most frustrating!

This has happened for at least 8 months now and to the extent where nothing I tried helped. Windows recognizes that it is caused by a problem of Windows software, but did not come with a fix!

I hope someone can help?

Best regards, lachiu

Hi GuruAid - CS and Acer supports,

Thanks a lot to you two for your answer to my problem. The response from the Acer Support where for me first and I did not lose any time, applied the suggested steps. Support Acer mail 14/10 got to me and I waited my answer for the following reasons:

As I mentioned in my original post, this problem has been with me for a while in which I had some Tech Guy (3) looking at my PC and the 'fixing' of the problem. Two days later he was back again. This was the case in all three fixing operations. If I didn't like my Acer Aspire so, that would have been when I was ready to buy a new computer. But, as I said, I am satisfied with the machine - it is the fastest and most powerful I got sofar and I bought my first PC in 1996 - and was reluctant to "abandon ship."

I can an episode with Microsft. About5 weeks I contacted Microsoft technical support and has been in contact with one of their technical support people. Apparently they charge for this service and they demanded $99 for it. When they took the number and my name on my credit card down, they made a small error in the spelling of my last name. I pointed out to them, but Visa had already pulled the plug on this transaction attempt and had cancelled the card at a time. I had to get a new credit card and did not attempt to communicate with Windows again.

I finally thought to this forum and only wish I thought of it earlier. Since 14/10 I had NO recurrence of this problem!

After having so many false hopes, I hesitated to write after a few days the problem has been resolved. I got at least 30 starts and stops since then and there is no problem. After following the instructions Acer supports. I do, however, I keep GuruAids suggests measures on hand - just in case :-))

So, thank you again for your excellent advice and quick help. I can't get the smile off my face :-)))

Best regards

lachiu

  • two drivers of PXI chassis with Configuration problem

    Hello

    I have two PXI chassis. One is PXI 1033 and works perfectly with the NI PXI-5404, 5105, 6509, 1409, installed 8336. The other is 1036 PXI with the PXI-5404 NI, 8366 installed. When I was trying wreath connect, as master 1033, 1036 as slave, I found several problems.

    1. in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, does not have my good guys in 1033. Instead, there is a sign of the Red Cross in bottom right with 6509, 5105, 5404.

    2. I can't find an another 5404 of the 1036. In fact, I can't find 1036 in MAX.

    Update BIOS. My PXI system is already identified under the name 'NOR PXI - 1033 Embedded MXI Express' and Chassis1 is identified as 'NOR PXI 1033'.

    So I made several tests as below:

    1. unscrew the 5404 1036 slave. MAX can configure 2 1036 chassis. Ok. But when I reconnect 5404 in 1036, same result happened as stated above.

    2 uninstall the driver of 5404, so the 5404 in 1033 does not either now. And then reboot again, same result happens again. Cannot detect the 1033 chassis. Other vouchers in 1036 don't work either.

    Please, any suggestion is highly appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Bin

    If it was a problem of bandwidth, PCI or PXI side, you could pull a few cards to see if that alleviates the problem, or that the link from Microsoft over the States, you can disable the driver for other cards.

  • Wait while Windows configures TestStand

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem when I run TestStand in some stations deployment, I get the "Please wait while Windows configures TestStand 4.1" message every time I start up the User Interface. I followed the instructions in the KB , but it does not solve the problem. Any ideas on how to proceed?

    [With the help of the TestStand4.1/LabVIEW 8.6]

    Thanks in advance,

    <-N->>

    N,

    Thanks for the answers to these questions!  I'm curious to know what perform a complete uninstall and reinstall would have on your situation.  I would recommend that you try it.  You install a deployment created the TestStand deployment utility or you install TestStand as a whole on these machines in deployment as if they were machines of development (i.e. the sequence editor, examples of shipping, shipment of user interfaces)?  In any event I would be interested to see how complete an uninstall and reinstall solves the problem.

  • Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?

    Hello.  Where can I post a problem of Aspire One AO756 USB system recovery?  I had a HARD drive crash, replaced the HARD drive and bought a USB (Win 8.1) on the Acer Store system recovery disk.  The USB settles all the installation files and then said to remove the USB key, then click OK to restart.  But the bios can not find a bootable disk to complete construction. I was sent a second USB drive with the same results.  The new HDD Seagate passes each Seatools test.  In addition, I can boot from USB to the DOS or Linux and access the disk without problem. Thank you

    You must use diskpart. in the windows setup program, there is an option to format the partitions manually. allows to delete all partitions, and it will automatically set the MBR or GPT disk.

    Hello:

    Since last week, when I click on an icon, for example, the Page Home/Windows 7 does not come on the screen.  Instead, warning to appear at the top of the screen saying... Problem with Internet connection or Network Configuration problem.  After 5 minutes, or later, however, the screen came, but it is very slow to open web pages.

    This problem occurs most often during the night, however for the last two days, sometimes also during the day.

    Until this problem started out of blue, wireless connection with Comcast was very smooth-ride,... instantamously the homepage of popping up.

    Hints on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This sounds like a problem with your Comcast service. In the United Kingdom, I would suggest that you run a speed test on your connection speed. You can get no doubt do the same wherever you are. While it could be the quality of your line, the calendar offers it's the volume of traffic from when children arrive home from school until they go to bed.

    You could compare notes with other Comcast customers.

  • Please wait while Windows configures your computer every time at startup

    Hi guys,.

    I was recently infected by a virus, it has been removed and it corrupted the registry beyond repair, I backed up my files and re-installed my Windows Vista Ultimate 32 - bit edition, everything is all back and work, with the exception of this little problem...

    Whenever I start my count, after the green bar loading screen, it is a black screen saying

    "Please wait while Windows configures your computer...". »

    It takes about 5 minutes, then continues to the desktop very well, it's just that I prefer there not to go to the black screen and take 5 minutes every time I start up.  I have installed all updates, including Service Pack 2 and still no joy. Anyone know what is this problem and how to fix it?

  • Failure of the Windows Configuration when performing disk recovery system.

    I have a HP Pavilion model: A6838F product number: NC839AA #ABA, Serial #{removed privacy}, BIOS: V5.36 12/01/09

    The drive has been recently replaced by a 750 GB Hitachi PN. 0F131179, SN. 5V06D3ZL

    750 GB MLC:MRS5Q0 FW:5 Q 0 LBA:1.465.149.168 sectors CHS: 16383/16/63

    New recovery discs were recently acquired by HP PN. 530238-001 build ID: 92NAv6PrA2, which corresponds to the identifier of the version on the sticker at the bottom of the CPU.

    The recovery disks starts as expected and ran through all three discs and ask to remove then restarted the system and continued the installation. Everything seemed to work as expected until the part of the process where it indicates that the process is to configure windows for my computer - "Please wait while windows configures your computer." follow-up by "end of installing windows... installation." and so on...

    After a while, the system displays a window indicating "Installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers". It seems that the system is built almost and you have to configure windows, but he can't. Attempts to start the drive puts me in the loop where the system tries to configure Windows and fails.

    I need help on this last hurdle. Suggestions?

    After a lot of trial, tribulation and persistence, I found the solution to this problem. Hope it helps shorten the process of troubleshooting for someone else.
