  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

• Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

  Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

• Windows Update includes the Toshiba driver updates?

  Hello

  Windows Update includes the Toshiba driver updates?

  And if yes, do you know what drivers are included in Windows Update and that would be excluded?

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Microsoft and Toshiba updates are two different things.
  Toshiba drivers are offered by Toshiba, and these drivers are tested by Toshiba. Toshiba has developed a small tool called TEMPRO. This tool runs in the background and look for information on available updates.
  All updates of drivers, tools and utilities does not update automatically. It can be done by the owner of the laptop. TEMPRO just pick up info on the net and to inform the owner of the laptop.

  Microsoft updates are probably known to you. These updates are Microsoft and Toshiba has no influence on this.
  When you check the list of available updates may have included updates to the WLAN/LAN card, driver of the touchpad and device ACPI Toshiba x 64. This is defined as optional updates and cannot be updated.

  To be honest you should not update at all. For hardware use drivers provided by Toshiba only.

• 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.
