• Aspire M3400 won't boot to Windows 7 after Windows Update freeze

  A couple of days, I restarted my PC and he tried to do a Windows Update Auto - saying "ready to set up Windows - do not turn off your computer. He froze then. When I turned off & on again once I'm said BSOD - STOP 0x0000007B messages. Whenever I have start Windows now whether attempts to run checkdisk - which finds several unreadable file record segments, then freezes before it can complete or it executes the Startup Repair which takes 1-2 hours to run, but solves nothing. None of the System Recovery options will work - I just get error messages - it can't seem to find the operating system. The eRecovery console has two options grayed out so I can't use it. I have no Windows 7 disks. I read that it might be the RAID controller causing problems? I tried to use a hard drive from my old PC - with Windows XP on it. As I repeated BSOD - the same error 07 b - until I changed the SATA to IDE mode. He then started in XP ok. However, leaving on IDE with my CD original HD (with Windows 7) means that he did nothing at all when I try & start. Any ideas?

  If the update froze in the middle of treatment, the operating system is more than likely corrupt.  We offer you to try a recovery outside of Windows. If this does not work, you will want to look into obtaining a recovery media for your device. If you are in the United States, you can visit the Store of Acer.  If you are outside the United States we suggest to contact technical support in your region for further assistance in this matter.

  It is also possible that the hard disk itself has not.

• Windows Update freeze on step 2 of 3 0% complete for more than 30 minutes. Help for repair?

  Whenever I'm doing a windows update on Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

  At closing, it jumps to step 2 of 3 then is usually stuck on 0%, I let this go for about 30 minutes, then manually restart my computer and updates seem to install fine. But the most recent update, let him off and he is stuck at 6%, this time, oddly enough, and he was stuck there for an hour and a half. Then I manually restarted the computer but hten is stuck in a reboot of Windows Update without end system, which I fixed it with a restore point.
  I am looking for a solution to why updates don't correctly install on tap down and to reboot?

  Hi StuartEvans,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  ·         You receive an error message/code?

  I suggest you follow these methods before proceeding with the update of windows.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After installing windows update, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-installing-updates

  You can also manually install the update (numbers KB) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  2: re-installed Skype with an OLD install file, I had.

  Original title: xp freeze during an update... what to do

  I turned on my computer for the first time in 10 days. When stop he went in update mode (21 updates) and was 19, since yesterday evening around 20:00 is this normal and if not what is my next step since he says do not close during an update?

  Hi MarcyDowning,

  If the update is blocked for hours, then you can try to restart the computer and check if it starts in normal mode.

  If not, then try to start in safe mode and try to perform a system restore:

  Step 1:

  You can check the article to start in safe mode:

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  Step 2:

  If you are able to boot into safe mode, and then try to perform a system restore and check if you are able to boot into normal mode:

  How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

  Note: When safe mode system restore, system restore points are deleted.

  Once you are able to boot into normal mode, you can try to install the updates in batches containing updates 4 or 5 at a time and check if it helps.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• "Windows updates were not be properly configured and restoration of changes." The computer freeze

  I have a laptop Dell inspiron 1501 with windows vista on it.

  I don't have the disc of windows Vista DVD you are referring to, I have never recived a Dell I bought the computer on the internet with vista already installed.

  My problem is that, with respect to the windows updates, I get a message saying "Windows have been developed to date not be properly configured and restoration of changes". I have 51 updates pending, 47 of these updates is equivalent to 170 MB.

  As a result of these updates, I think it's the cause of my freezing computer once I have connected and I have to restart only having do not 2 - 3 times.

  When the computer "freezes" the cursor does not move throughout the scene, none of the keys works, including Manager tasks etc., the only thing that works is to turn the computer off. Sometimes, there is a beep, beep once the computer crashes.

  Over 95% the updates I have try have 'no '.

  I'm lost as how to how to repair?

  All good suggestions welcome to solve this problem, the simpler the better... I don't want to have to buy a new computer... If I won't Dell... and I'll have to get the windows disc... most solutions here seem to require it...

  Hi AL0001,

  Run the chkdsk command to check that there are no problems with your hard drive. To run the disk check, follow these steps:

  2. Select Mode safe mode with command prompt.
  3. At the command prompt, type chkdsk/r (there is a space between the k and /)

  Meanwhile, check the Dell website to see how you can get a recovery disk in case you need to recover Windows.

• Updates Windows installation freezes computer

  Hello. I don't know if this question is familiar with anyone, but I saw a close incident of it. But as of March 26, 2011, my computer began to freeze in minutes, whenever the update of windows runs. I have troubleshooted by stopping the process of difference in msconfig and it's only when I put the windows update to run at startup of my computer screen would be blocked and I can not access explore or other programs. There is no blue screen or black screen and the movements of mice after the question starts but then it freezes as well and I do a forced shut down using the power button. I have since blocked from running, windows updater but y at - it a fix for this problem? I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 on a laptop ASUS Kj50i.

  [2] installing Firefox has a default installation upgrade... Since the fix earlier it was not an accident...

  A1. You had the back-ups or you don't.

  A2. However, the fact that put up-to-date installed and the history of the update is not a good sign. That being said, this gives a shot...

• Windows Vista freezing, problems starting mode safe mode, Windows Update does not work, etc.

  Hi all. I am operating Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit on an HP Pavilion dv6000.

  My problems started about two months ago, when I installed several updates through Windows Update. I started having problems with my USB ports (even if these pilots were not being updated) and the computer was never able to close successfully. I tried to uninstall these updates, but that did not fix the questions I had. I have also installed software (AutoCAD 2007) at the same time and uninstalled, nothing helps.

  Then my computer started to freeze after running for a few minutes. Time seems to vary from 5 minutes of good use for 1 hour, but I found that it works only because this so long, I only open a program or file and use it all the time (for example, reading a book in Adobe Acrobat format). If I try to open the program or additional files, go to control panel, etc. (read: if I do everything related to Windows Explorer) the computer crashes. I can still move my cursor but none of the windows meet, and I can't ctrl + alt + delete to enter the Task Manager (I get a black screen).

  I was manually shut down my computer every time that happens and boot in SafeMode several times. Sometimes when I try to start safe mode it is hampering the crcdisk file and turns off. It happens not every time, however. Sometimes, when it starts it running the disk check, and there has been some index files that it has been deleted and orphaned files that it has been moved.

  I tried to do a system restore to a point before the updates I've installed in October, but my computer has no points system, restore even if he says it was their creation before you install these updates.

  The last problem is that when I go to Windows Update, it says that I have never checked for or downloaded the updates in the 15 months that I've had the computer - is not true, I, he lost at the time of all the record of it. So although I would like to provide you with wonderful with a record of what I've updated and people uninstalled, I can't because all this information is gone. In addition, I can't connect to the internet to try to check the news updates, because our internet service runs a USB modem, which is not communicating properly with my computer.

  I hope someone has an idea of what's going on. I just can't understand the common point that all these questions arise, my technology skills are somewhat limited, so I hope for a relatively easy solution.

  Sarah

  BTW, all my files were backed up on external drives.
