    Hi Roar4life88


    1. for how long have you been faced with this problem?

    Method 1:

    You can perform a scan SFC and check. To Perform a Scan SFC -

    A message appears indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient because the scan can take some time.
    c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
    d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  • Could not start the automatic updates. Get an error that Windows cannot check the updates, D0000034 after the failure of the Java updates

    OP: Action Center... PC problem: 1 important message

    After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?

    Hello Irfan,

    Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate.  Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me.  On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers.  Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric.  I tried to enter only and does not pass.  This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID.  Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think?  If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

    wandrinstar

    Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.

    Keep up the good work,

  • "Windows Installer has stopped working". After going to 'manage' under 'computer', I find that windows install is missing from the directory 'services '.

    I managed to solve the problem by doing something with my registry. Now after a week his new broke and I don't remember how I fixed it. I am running windows vista ultimate. I discovered that it was broken again by trying to download java. HALP.

    I rebooted my computer in any way, and nothing has worked. However, it seems even e-mail links have stoped working.

    1. If your computer comes with a Vista installation DVD, you can use it to perform a repair installation.

    Repair for Vista installation
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
    If you do not, find a friend who has a. Make sure it has the same version of bits as yours.

    2. If you have a set of recovery disks created at the time you purchased your computer, use and restore your computer to 'presets' (as the first is out of the box)

    If you do not have a set of facts, contact the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is very low and it is well worth the expense.
    In the same Helena ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your recovery partition (if you have one) and how to use it to restore your system.

    The recovery partition was the installation by the manufacturer of your computer. They know exactly how to use it.

    With my limited knowledge, that's all I can help you.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Found a box that prevents the bios to booting from anything other than the hard drive in the BIOS, under Security.  Stupid because it still allows you to change the order of boot without any error message.

    Once I changed I could boot from the cd and fix corrupted files.

    I could access the program successfully on my home screen (Windows XP Edition family version 5.1 service pack 3.0).  Phase 1 of the scan completed successfully, but about 70% through the phase 2, the analysis stopped and I got this message: "the disk check utility requires exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk.  These are accessible only by re-starting Windows.

    Hi Sarang_982,

    ·         When exactly you get the error message you at startup of the computer or when you open any application or when you try to run chkdsk on his machine?

    I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state, and perform the steps below.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    You will need to disable automatic disk check, and then run the disk of the WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) command prompt check and check if the c: drive error (there) get fixed.

    You try to run the audit from WINRE for drive C: disk drive and if it helps. Here are the steps to open the command prompt in Windows RE:

    Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

    b. do one of the following:

    1. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    2. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

    c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

    d. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt to open.

    f. Type "chkdsk/f" and enter.

    g. Type "chkdsk/r" entry.

    Check if the HARD drive is encrypted or not if yes then decrypt and see if it works well or not.

    It will not use a system reboot, unless you set the box to solve problems & it's the hard drive of the system.

    If you set this box then it will ask if you want to check hard disk errors the next time you start your computer.

    d. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk/r X:

    Note: in this command, X: is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check.

    a. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.
    b. close all applications and restart the computer.

    After the computer restarts, repeat steps a through d for the other volume and then check if the disk cleanup works.

    Original title: Windows XP does not start after the update, no error message

    -Stripped devices and added one at a time, no joy.

    -Traded-in an old video card in case it was difficult to generate the higher res gfx, no joy.

    I was construction/upgrade / repair my own PC for 3 decades and can usually solve the problem and fix it myself, but this one me completely baffled.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Cougarific,

    We recommend that you repair your Windows installation in according to method 2 of this article and check the result.
    See computer stops responding with a black screen when you start Windows XP

    Note: When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows XP to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows XP disc.

    Hi Sabrina Awuah Aning

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) when exactly it happens?

    Looks like the thread you are referring has been moved or merged.

    Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference

    Diagnose and repair Windows files and folders problems automatically

    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks


    Note:
    Fixit would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps described in the article below, which deals with a similar question

    Error message when you log on to Windows Vista: "Windows Explorer has stopped working".
