Windows Update: 3 3 0% question

all 1 k, couldn't they make a more organized forum? lol... anyway...

2nd o all, Hi :)

I use Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.

Due to some problems with one of these updates. KB961501, kb968537 and kb970238, I get the famous "3 of 3 screen configurtion" when my pc try to restart after the installation of their...

I tried to download and run the update fix mentioned here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/937287

but it says that "the update does not apply to your system"

Down on the same page it says I need a prerequisit, which is KB94993, but then again when I run it it gives me the same message that I mentioned before...

Help, please? None.

also I was wondering if the patch with a single click in one of the threads would work... have not yet tried because I want to make sure

Hello

If you have a Vista install DVD, try the boot that he and choose the option to repair the installation screen and do a system restore to before the updates were installed.

Let us know if that helps.

  • How can I keep windows update to change the location of folders of rediredcted

    My work computer is in a domain.  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Due to the large size of the 'My pictures' folder I redirected it to on of my local readers rather than let him lie on our server (Windows 2003 SBS).  I also redirected "My music" folder on a local drive and the 'My Favorites' folder on the server where the "My Documents" folder is also.  It works very well without any problem, most of the time.  In some way, some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of the "My pictures" folder on the server.  When this happens, I know that as soon as I login after the reboot because it will take about an hour before the computer can be used.  The reason for this is that the folder is moved (not copied) on the server with a connection to ethernet 100 base-T.  My another stay of redirected folders where they are supposed to be, just the 'My pictures' folder is moved.  I tried to find all the registry entries that have to do with the location of this folder and found only two, those who originally, I changed to redirect the folder in the first place.  This has happened for the 4th time, when I greeted Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (13/02/13).  It becomes very boring and time would trust because I have to put the folder on the local drive and reset the folder redirection and the whole process takes about an hour, plus time lost after reboot.  Help please.

    Hi Steve,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    I see from the description of the problem, you have a problem with the location of the folder my pictures change after installing Windows updates.

    The question you posted would be better suited in the Small Business Server Forums. I suggest you send the link.

    Update of Windows on the computer, I'll put in place says that this important update is available:

    When I try to install from Windows update I get this error:
    «Some updates have not been installed - failed: 1 update.» Error (s) found: Code 8007371 C - Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
    It then provides a link to "Get help with this error" which takes you to a page of results from help and Support Windows. No listed results mention a C 8007371 error, but one of them is "Resolve problems with installing updates" I click on that one.

    The upper part of advertising Microsoft 'Fix - it' for "automatically diagnose and fix common problems with Windows Update. I have try this. The file runs and I select "detect problems and patch for me (recommended) - with a single click, we detect problems AND apply the patches on this machine" at the end of its run, the program informs me that "Troubleshooting is complete.

A good time to check if the patch can be installed again!

    I try from Windows update - fails with an error C 8007371
    Restart and try again - fails with an error C 8007371

    So, I decide to try to download the file directly from microsoft and bypass the Windows Update mechanism

    Downloaded KB2699988 from Microsoft.
    Tried to install it in the 'normal' windows desktop: come to the last part of the green bar and then I get:
    "Some updates were not installed - the following updates don't have not been installed: security for Windows Update (KB2699988).

    Tried again to install the SafeMode file. Had this error:
    Setup Windows Update Standalone - Setup has encountered an error: 0x8007043c. This service cannot be started in Mode safe.

    Went on the forums and then I tried these challenges listed as possible solutions to this problem:

    1 ran the System File Checker scan according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212. He returned a value of "Windows Resource Protection has not found any breach of integrity."
    2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212 (2nd half of the page) listed by using the System Restore tool to move to another point in time. I have all the old points system, restore, so this isn't an option for me.
    3. clean start up the PC and then ran Windows Update according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135: essentially the same as before. However, to stop all services, and then restart the Windows Update service, I tried, once again, to install the stand-alone Installer KB2699988 (file name of this file, for your benefit is .msu Windows6. 0 -KB2699988 - x 64). After the execution of this file, this message will appear: "Setup Windows Update Standalone - the update doesn't not apply to your system" OK is my only option here.

    So now the leaves wondering if this necessary update is really necessary at all. Why Windows Update says that I need this file which is not even for my computer?

  • Question about Windows Update in Windows 7 links.

    Whenever I have run or click on the links to Windows Update to update my workstation at work I usually click the links on the left under the heading Control Panel home.  When I click on it it says "Windows is up-to-date.

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.  My question is, what is the difference between checking the updates link in the Control Panel Home section and check online for updates from Microsoft Update?

    Verification of updates link goes to a SCCM server only?  Just curious.

    Brother and sisters all the place!

    This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.

    After doing the above, you have now "reversed" your source of default update from Windows Update to Microsoft Update.


    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx

    Translation: Now the automatic updates (and controls running manual updates) will provide updates for Windows and office, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials, etc..

  • Help please - Windows update - restart issues (and upgrade to Windows 10 questions?)

    Hello

    I wanted to switch to Windows 10 but got stuck on the "start download" page, as have other users.

    Looking through the other questions on this site, I have seen that Windows update may need to complete before you start with Windows 10.

    I had not run windows update for a long time I thought that would mean Windows 10 would install and I wasn't ready for this, but now I am.

    Then I ran windows update and more than 150 updates have been installed.

    However, he now says:

    "Restart your computer to install important updates

    Windows cannot update services and important files while the system uses them.  Save... "

    I rebooted, shut down, rebooted several times, but this message continues to appear in the Windows Update window.

    Still, the update of Windows 10 stuck initially download.

    I ran disk cleanup in safe mode, as well as normal and tried to restart, but it did not help.  I tried the troubleshooting windows update option, but this did not help.

    I used two tools, the Microsoft FixIt who did not help and a WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab file which allows to find the two errors and saying: he fixed them, but this still does not work, IE always ask me to restart and Windows 10 gets stuck to download from.

    The two problems it finds are listed as:

    "Windows Update error 0 x 80070005(2016-05-30-T-08_49_44P)" and is listed as fixed

    "Problems install the latest updates" and is considered to be fixed.

    I am at my wits end and would be really grateful for the help.

    If this becomes technical, please help me in using a step by step method or referring to one for me.

    I have a laptop of Toshiba Windows 7 64-bit.

    Thanks in advance

    EDIT: I ran the above diagnostic tool and the error was fixed progresses over time, that is to say it is correct to say 09:03 now...  Also, to revise accordingly the so-called updates installed, many of them, but not all, have the status of a failed.

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.

  • Satellite Pro A200GE - 26Q: Question about Windows update "TOSHIBA x 64 ACPI Compliant logical value.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-26. It has a core 2 duo T7200, running vista 32 provided with the computer (now sp1).

    Windows Update offers me the following optional update: 'TOSHIBA TOSHIBA - other hardware - x 64 compatible ACPI value logical and general-purpose device' but I am concerned that at present in Device Manager, the computer is listed as "ACPI x 86 based pc.

    Does anyone know why windows update offers this for me and if I install it?

    Thanks for any help!

    This update is available for all units of Core2Duo.
    As you already wrote it is optional, and you must not install it. If you use original recovery image Toshiba you have no need for the functionality of the laptop. Using the recovery image or you have installed your own OS?

  • XP Home Edition limited question user account windows updates.

    Is windows assume update in limited user accounts?  This is not to do it for me.   When you are logged as long as limited user, I can only run windows updates with ' run as ' administrative rights and windows updates will be download but do not settle.  I have to log on to the administrator user account to install the updates.  Therefore, it seems that for individuals (notwithstanding a technical and complicated solution) you must be connected to the computer account admin to install windows updates.  Is this correct?  Thank you.

    As for the specific error I was getting when you try to manually run windows update in LUA, where I could download but not, the error was "Windows could not install the following update with error 0x8024200e'

    It isn't the mistake that we would expect to see if the user account was not permission to install updates (for example, 0x8007F002), especially in WinXP Home Edition.

    This gives a shot:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty mode and then AGGRESSIVE and DEFAULT. [1]

    5. restart & test.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] you must be aware that the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your history of update (to the Windows Update Web site), but will not affect the updates listed in Add/Remove programs.

    -ATI TV Wonder external cable digital tuner + TV tuner internal

    After a few months everything works well, the other day, I could no longer use "Windows Update", which failed with various error codes.  (Will post a final later with update log because I'm away from the computer at the moment.)  However, I'm looking for a general hypothisis here, not a specific solution.  So Far, in any case.)

    So I tried all the usual remedies, stop services, rename files as C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, restart services, re-register all Windows Update DLLs, no joy.

    Try restoring the system to a point where I know that updates were working.  No joy.

    OK, I have a disk image (Macrium Reflect) which will restore all (including the MBR) up to a point where I know the updates have worked.  Reformat the active partition, restore disk image including image MBR, Windows update STILL does not work.  Of course Windows Defender does not update definitions either because it uses the update services.

    Then, I tried a complete restoration of the partition of the hard disk system restore then system restore disks.  Don't agree.

    So HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?  Restore the PC with a system restore disc image disc not back to the point where Windows Update works?  What is the assumption here?  What type of virus/spyware could survive a restore disk sector by sector, including the MBR?

    Is there some sort of a BIOS virus that could do this?

    What are the possibilities here?

    As I said I can post newspapers and specific error codes, but I tried all the solutions, I found online for these codes (and others) without success, until I'm looking for a general assumption of what kind of trouble could survive the new image and restore.

    I have disabled all virus, firewall, etc.  I've even around my router directly connected to the cable modem.  I ran hardware tests, no problem.  There is the HP Advisor software that is currently running, but he was executed before the start of the original system and at the time where I saved the disk image, and it does not interfere with Windows Update then.

    Add information - I ran at least 5 different virus/spyware packages to see if there is no virus/rootkits etc. detected and everyone was negative.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    John

    Hi John94062,

    Thanks for the posts on the community forum.

    Reading this post the words "datastor" was what initially was out of me.  For now, however, each log placed in this thread of community reflects a date and data which seem to be some time long ago in the past.  The first was 27/03/09 and the second shows 16/04/09.  In my opinion, he must make a good backup, a clean format and reinstall - without using any Marcurim or any other image software needs to be done.  I also recommend taking off from USB keys or any other external media, as this takes place. Reinstall using the true authentic Windows discs.

    John94062, the image stands out as if it keeps the installation that causes the error.

    Be sure to have all disks in Windows, all product keys and all the software manufacturers, third-party CD/Media and their product keys before proceeding with this action and all data and important files backed up on external media before performing this action.

    Also, if you use a HARDWARE RAID configuration, be sure to check with your hardware vendor for any band perforated or any error causing corruption data.  Those that can be replicated to the backup.

    I know that it is stated that a new facility took place, but the dates don't seem to reflect a clean install.  After installation, backups that are restored on the system may have a bad file that can replicate itself on the system so try all updates with only the operating system on the System and before you install other software or backup on the system after the CLEAN install.

    Sounds drastic, but something is not reflecting more correct when all dates appear as some time before that happens the clean install.  We will therefore try a Clean format and reinstall using the genuine Microsoft discs, and not just any what imaging software then try the updates only to the operating system on the system.  Let us know if the updates install then.  If they then this is something which is being restored from the backup, you can restore a data segment at a time until the culprit is isolated.

    Please let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.

    Hello

    Windows updates are not specifically designed for personal problems, you can experience, such as crashing or cannot create a backup disk.

    They mainly patch vulnerabilities, fix security bugs and add new features.
