  • Windows does not start after the update...

    Hope someone can help with this,

    I just installed the update sp1 for my computer for Windows Vista Premium Home dir all installed with no problems, but when I restarted my pc, Windows wouldn't start. The only thing that is on display is a black screen with Windows Error Recovery on top, then he said "Windows does not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. I tried to restart it in different ways, but nothing. Then he said: I have to insert my OS drive to try to fix, but that's not even start. Everyone knows about this problem? This has happened right after that I installed the update...

    L.Butler,
    Are you able to boot from your Vista DVD or recovery partion and run the Startup Repair tool?  If you do not have a Vista disc so make sure that your computer is configured to boot from the CD drive before booting from the hard drive.  Once you start with support for Vista select the "Repair your computer" option and first run "Startup Repair".  If that is not correct the problem then boot with Vista support and select the option "System Restore" and choose a date prior to the update install.
    Once you are able to boot normally again, then I suggest that you are looking for virus\malware.  SP1 was released in April 2008.  So if you install earlier means there may be other problems on your system.  If you have a backup of your current personal data then I recommend to do a clean restore to install\factory.  Then immediately install antivirus software, and then do all Windows updates before installing other software.

  • Windows does not start more-IE 9 update failed

    After you have installed the Windows updates, I received 10/09/2014 my computer erased, and then wouldn't boot.

    After waiting for about 20 minutes, nothing is was so I used the button to turn off the computer. When I rebooted I gave me an option to use the Startup Repair tool, I did. It is yet to start, but then I was given an option to the startup repair using System Restore. I clicked 'Yes' to that, but it seemed to me that Startup Repair has just kept running and it ends by told me to click on 'continue' and if the Startup Repair has been able to repair my computer should start.

    It finally began. The first thing I did was to check the Windows updates and it shows 6 7 updates succeeded. However, Windows Update face page shows that I have 7 important to install updates.

    The update that is shown is failed is Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista, KB2977629.

    Then what should I do? History displays 6 of the 7 successful updates but Windows Update I still 7 updates to install. I'm a little afraid to go and install again since my computer does not start after the first try.

    As I said, I need help. My computer was working fine until I tried to install the updates.

    Very well.

  • Windows does not start after Windows update.

    Original title: udate Windows vista problems

    I have dell dimension e520, Windows Vista home Basic, 32-bit SP 2, and in January, I upgraded RAM to 4 GB to 1 GB. McAfee security on the computer. The system worked until the last updated (March 2012).  The computer does not start correctly after March 2012 update and System Restore restores to February 21 implemented to date.  The computer will then automatically install the updates again and restart, after which the computer will not start up again (an annoying loop).  I also lose saved data after the system recovery sets return date.  I tried Microsoft Fixit, which did not help.  Thanks for your help. Hurry LOL available updates.

    PS computer says 'patch blocking windows to start.  Some updates successfully installed previously, but on the next time you download windows updates, that try to download updates and others have "failed."  Sorry for the confusion but I'm rushing and I try to include all the symptoms, I don't see dealing with the problem I have.

  • Windows does not start after Windows updates downloading

    I have an IBM Thinkpad R32 with Windows XP, 512 MB of ram and a Pentium 4 processor. Wednesday night, when I stopped, Microsoft downloaded a bunch of updates - 13 to be exact. When I went to start my computer the next day, I got a black screen saying "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully.

    When I select 'safe mode' I get a series of files. When I select "Last known configuration" or "Start windows normally" I get a blue screen with "a thread tried to release a source he did not' and the error code that goes in the bottom" STOP: 0x000000E3 "(0X80558BE0, 0X82FCA548, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000002). "When I press F8 for advanced startup options, I get the same result to choose 'safe mode' as before, but also the blue screen to 'last known...". "or"start windows normally ".

    I have a recovery disk but it seems to be the 2nd of the 2 discs, and I can't find the first. More I am concerned about the loss of material on my computer (have not saved in a while). My technical skills are marginal - I'm good at copy what is on the screen but that's all.

    Needless to say, I'm a little upset with Microsoft for burning my muddy computer with its updates. I set it so that I have to approve the updates, but I wasn't paying attention when I hit the button turn off with the updates.

    shadiahm,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  The first thing to do is to remove the external devices (printer, USB drives, USB hubs, etc.), then restart.

    If you have your XP cd, you can run a repair installation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315341.  If you do not have a XP CD you must contact your PC manufacturer to obtain replacement disks.

    Also, if you have access to your XP, you can start in repair mode and run SFC/scannow: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747 Mike - engineer Microsoft Support responses

  • Portege R830 - Windows does not start after I have install Comodo Firewall

    Good afternoon

    I bought today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration, the first program that I installed was the popular free Comodo Firewall. After that I restarted, Windows 7 unbootable. It would be stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I do a system restore to the restore point created by Setup of firewall, windows restarts.

    So I ask if there is any inconsistency between the firewall and software on the Toshiba. A that someone already had this problem? I tried to solve this problem throughout the day with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba Recovery and the problem persists. I really like the Comodo and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows does not just start!

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Hi jillefsky,.

    Have you disabled the Windows Firewall before you start with the installation of Comodo Firewall? As far as I know, Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you must remove this program before you install other security tools.

    Generally this has nothing to do with Toshiba and it s advisable to contact Comodo directly. They may know about this so they can give you a proper answer.

    But I put t understand why this program is so important to you. Windows already has an internal firewall so that these programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus like AntiVir and enable the automatic updates of Windows. All that s!

  • Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

    From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

    I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

    After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

    What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Joachim

    I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

    I'm not sure if this would be covered by the warranty. You must contact the ASP in your country for details, but I assume that it s not covered.

    -remove the battery, disconnect the adapter
    -wait ~ 40 min

    Windows 7 - KB2454826 fails and only recover after reboot

  • ENVY M6 - 1184ca: 8.1 for Windows does not start after the installation of update KB2919355

    Updating Windows 8.1 KB2919355 has proved to be extremely problematic for me. When he was released at the beginning of 2014 that I was not able to get installed it with the exception of two occasions, the first being several months ago and the second time, a few days ago. I have constant pain to try to get the update of KB2919355 until recently. What finally got the update installed was opened as administrator command prompt and type the following commands,

    DISM/Online/Remove - Package PackageNameackage_for_KB2919355 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ amd64 ~ ~ 6.3.1.14 

    and then

    DISM / online/cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    So now, the update of KB2919355 has been installed. Only one problem: like the first time I had the installed, Windows Update leave commissioning. As the HP splash screen that normally appears during the startup process appears after about 3 seconds, Windows displays an error Stop, and for a fraction of a second will display SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error, which as I read, is related to the graphics drivers. The thing is, after the cancellation of the update (the computer in Mode safe start put Windows automatically uninstall the update and everything goes well after), then go in and uninstall the graphics driver, restart, reinstall the graphics driver and reboot again, and then reinstall the KB2919355 update, the problem recurs. I also tried to download and to install the new update of firmware for my particular DESIRE machine which was released a few days ago, but which has not helped either.

    I'm really stuck. I looked up and down, and I scoured Internet for anything that might help. I need to update KB2919355 be installed because without it, I can't book my free upgrade of Windows 10. This laptop is about 2 years and a half old now, so it fulfills all the prerequisites for Windows 10.

    Please do not suggest that I do a Refresh of the system or a system reset, as I have no way to back up my programs, that which some I would not be able to reinstall because I have more drives for some of my programs. Also, I can lose to save him for some of my games.

    When people ask me "What's up?", I always say 'the CAP '.

    So that seems to have solved the problem that is described in this post here. I followed the suggestion, which was to uninstall the driver, SPDT DuplexSecure (which has something to do with the SCSI devices, I'm not quite sure) using the SPDTinst (download here) and now it seems that Windows has started without crashing after installing the update KB2919355. I'll check my Windows Update history and see if it is there.

    Low and behold, a year to be really behind value is ultimately more. I have successfully obtained the update of KB2919355 works on my computer.
