  Hi DilipAssar,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

  ·         How long have you been experiencing this problem?

  ·         What exactly is the computer or the mouse gel?

  Search for the error message for the updates that have failed to be updated.

  To check the update fails, follow the steps:

  Click Start > all programs > windows update > view update history

  I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Put the computer in a clean boot State before proceeding with the installation of windows update.

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

  Method 2: 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 3: Reset the Windows Update components.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Hope these helps.

• Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?

  Floppy disks to install Windows 7 and the product keys are exclusive to each other?  Or can I use a disc that I have to restore the windows on a second laptop and activate it with a different product key?  It is not a question to find out how many users I can put in place, but whether the disk and product key are mutually exclusive.

  As long as the product key matches the edition, it should work perfectly, no exclusivity.

• Failure of Windows Vista and the SafeMode of startup failure - crcdisk.sys

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer 2 GB RAM. He had a few months now, and everything has been fine.

  Started a few days ago from freezing occasionally so I was forced to restart. CTRL + ALT + DELETE has refused to do anything and so I had to manually remove the battery.

  A frozen about three times and then once rebooted showed the BSOD saying something the system failure.

  So I rebooted once more and now it restarts just without going on the login screen. I tried to run in safe mode, but it gets stuck on crcdisk.sys or goes in an endless process to restart again.

  Is there anyway that I might be able to get back on without doing a full factory reset, as I have all my work stored on the hard drive integrated without backup.

  I can open the system recovery options, but none of these options seem to work. All my points of recovery have been removed.

  Startup Repair doesn't indicate a problem with the system, so I thought maybe it was a virus? The same thing happened to my wife a few days ago computer and that uses the same Wifi network as me.

  Jacob.

  To search for malicious software, you must do in Mode safe mode with networking, but you say that you can not get the Options.

  There is information below data recovery.

  And Startup Repair Info, too.

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

• I have problems with the installer of Windows and Windows Update, and the solutions that I found for the two each rely on the other broken system to fix the first.

  I use a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, a 64-bit operating system, and I have problems with Windows Update and Windows Installer. When I try to install programs, I get the following, or substantially similar message without the error code:

  "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. »

  So I tried to download Windows Installer 4.5 and install it. When I try to start the installation, it always hangs on the first step, "Initializing Installation."

  After searching for a solution to this problem, I found that Windows Update may have a solution. So I downloaded the 64 bit version and got a file named 'file Windows6. 0-KB942288-v2 - x 64. I tried to run this file. He opened a box that said, in order "Prepare for Installation", "Full Preparation", and finally "Searching for Updates ', before you open a second box, which reads" click OK to install the following Windows software update: fix for Windows (KB942288). I clicked on OK in this box, which opened another box, which says at the top "updates are installed" and in a smaller section, "initializing for Installation................... »

  However, no matter how long it works, it never gets past "Setup initialization."... »

  So I tried to run Windows Update in Control Panel. He ran for a while, before giving a message saying "to check the updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update." I clicked on the button that says "install now". He has flashed, a moment, "download and installation of updates' before you go to the"check for Updates"and then he brought back the exact same upward ' to check updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" message as before. I clicked install now once again, only to go into the exact same loop. After about four times in a loop, I gave up on it.

  So I tried to install Windows Installer 3.1v2, which took a while before saying "not enough memory is available to process this command." and the abandonment of the installation.

  So, I tried to download a program from 'Mr. Fix - it' of Microsoft. It downloaded fine and then failed on installation, because of the same Setup error I received initially.

  Finally, I tried to restart my computer and each solution is represented. Then I clean my computer and each solution is represented.

  In conclusion, the mistakes that I have in Windows Update and Windows Installer cordoned off each other, as the mistakes of each program are based on the other program to be repaired. I'm at my wit's end here. My computer works fine without one, except that I can't install new programs. I can access the internet fine, access files fine, all my scans have developed own... I don't really know what is happening. Can someone help me with this?

• I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

  I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

  P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

  THANKS X

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

  Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

  So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

  Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

  See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP
