• Windows Vista Ultimate guard restart after automatic updates

  Someone help me please find the fix for this problem.  I don't want to re - install Vista again.

  My computer has been in auto for Windows Vista Edition full update.  Service pack 1 & 2 was installed without any problems.  The last update was an optional update for Chinese langauage packs.  When I noticed that this update was at a standstill at 36%, I tried to restart the computer.  Then, there was that messeage "configuration updated, do not turn off the computer".  It takes more than 15 minutes and nothing happened, so I restarted the computer.  Now, the message appears after windows logo vista 'configuration updated step 3 or 3 to 0%.  The update could never finished, the computer just reset again once, the same thing repeats again and again.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

  Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Problems with printer after windows update on Vista

  I am running Vista Home premium 32-bit with SP1 and have an Epson SX215 printer. I have Noton antivirus installed.

  My printer will not respond after installation of recent updates. Remiain of items in the queue for printing and the caanot be deleted. I tried Mr. Fixit for printer problems, but it just crashes evenn after leaving 2 hours to run! I tried the system restore, but I just get a message saying "unknown error found no changes."

  I can solve the problem by resetting the PC to the settings to factory, but when I load these recent windows updates again that the problem comes back.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  What updates caused the problem to occur?

  Look for updates in the update history.

  a. open Windows Update by clicking on the button start. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

  c. to display more information about an update, double-click it.

  I suggest that you realize the following methods and check if they help to solve the problem.

  Method 1:

  (a) click Start, go to control panel

  (b) select system and Maintenance

  (c) select administrative tools

  (d) double click on Services

  (e) in the services list, scroll down until you find one called "print spooler".

  (f) make a right clic on "Print spooler" and "restart".

  (g) "suppression" of work will be lost and all work queued in your queue will print.

  Method 2:

  I would completely uninstall and reinstall Epson SX215 printer driver package.
   
  a. open devices and printers, click the Start button, and then click the start menu, click devices and printers.

  b. right-click on the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

  If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

  Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. now, reinstall the printer . Note: Valid link also for Windows Vista.

  Method 3:

  If the above didn't help, restore settings PC and install the updates one by one and refrain from installing the update (although not recommended) which is the origin of the problem.

• Not able to boot after that windows update, just trying to install the number 3 setting 3, and then restart the computer. With the help of Windows Vista SP2

  Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2

  The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.

  For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.

  What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.

  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.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Dell Studio 1737, 64-bit

  Problem:
  Earlier this week (I think it's the 16th), my computer has installed an automatic Windows Update and restarted.  When she came back to the top, it says Windows could not start and asked if I would so he can try to restore the operating system to a previous point in time or if I try to restart Windows.  I tried to start Windows again (this time with my fingers crossed), but got the same message.  So I went for the #1 option and after half an hour, or so, I got a new error.  To be honest with you, I have seen so many mistakes in the last week, I don't remember exactly what he said, but I wanted to go to the advanced options, where I could choose a restore point manually.  I have put back to point restoration 6/15 and had no problem getting Windows to start.  Unfortunately... Windows REALLY asks me to install this update so at 03:00, after spending at least an hour and a half on the issue, he did an update automatic, rebooted and Windows wouldn't start again.  So, again, I am through the whole process (it's the only way I found to manually choose a restore point) and me to start Windows.  Then I disabled the automatic update in the hope that I could skip this update.  However... Windows has put the updates to install every time I put it in mode 'sleep'.  You can see where I'm going with this.  Now, any time my computer stops for some reason, Windows refuses to restart.  To make matters worse, the last time I had to go through this process, for some reason any he would not support up to 15 and I had to try again and it backwards until the 13th.  Please help me!

  You did little to restore the system.

  Hide this particular update, if you do not need!

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the bad.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  This same problem happened to me in the summer 2010 - around July.  It's still - righ after a windows update.

  Things I've tried-

  1) goes into services and restart the print spooler.  It will restart - but remains in place.

  2) enter c:\windows\system32\spool\printers. and deletion of files.

  (3) remove and reinstall the printer involved.

  (4) has) go to programs and features in Control Panel > on features Windows turn on or off

  (b) click + sign printing services

  (c) select LPD and LPR. You must remove the Internet printing Client. > restart your PC to ensure there is no error in the spooler service.

  I am running VISTA for an operating system.  I also run the function of remote server in Accessories fairly.

• Windows Vista fails to boot after updates combined with Mcafee instalation.

  The laptop is a 2007 medion mim2330 running 32 bit vista Basic.  He was protected by Bullguard, but it had expired and has been exceeded. A message appeared on the screen WARNING french that he had been infected by a virus - it does not look official and I am not sure that he clicked on the option to download solution - however the phone still worked. I had a Mcafee 3 user license and wanted to install it so I uninstalled bullguard and installed Mcafee process windows crashed and failed to WINDOWS START SCREEN appeared and I was unable to boot windown in any mode. I gave the phone to a knowledgeable friend who said it was a virus, but did not know that one - he said, it has been deleted, all hardware tests had been run and it was perfect. It has resized the partition of disk doing a great score including a remains a very small. He reloaded windows with avast antivirus and gave the laptop back to work. I wanted to use the Mcafee I had paid for, so I uninstalled avast and installed Mcafee. Everything went well and the laptop worked - however the mcafee warning sign came up saying scan in real time has been disabled - he turned back, but a few minutes it turned off again. I have contacted Mcafee used virtual tech then chatted in their eng who suspected a virus, a virus scanner from mcafee, rather than the laptop - it was very good. While the computer restarts windows laptop crashed and the WINDOWS FAILED to START SCREEN has appeared. I gave it back to my friend who reloaded windows and avast and widely used for a week. When we got it back avast had been removed and there was Windows Defender - didn't light alarm does not. We loaded on Mcafee and had plenty of updates (and hours) then tried windows live messenger telling to SP1 and SP2 are necessary. They were charged after an eternity using automatic updates of windows. After everything has been loaded on a final restart gave place WINDOWS failed to START screen and does not start in any mode. I thought it might be linked to the abduction of an antivirus and the installation of another, so I put in the original Windows restore disc in and formatted the large partition, then reloaded windows and all its drivers then went on updates auto and auto updates for 24 hours until what he said to date. Installed mcafee - no problem, then tried windows live essentials that required sp1 and SP2 - used auto updates to download SP1. When this is completed there were two messages from Mcafee saying restart the pc and the other problem Center and soln windows saying an upate problem was found to go online to find the solution, I checked windows update history and SP1 and all other updates were installed successfully, so I rebooted the laptop - at which point it crashed and WINDOWS has no PU START APPEARED to-it wont start in any mode. Suggestions as to the cause and or how to make the process of restoration in less time - much appreciated. We have a same laptop bought at the same time, running the same original software and Mcafee - never a single problem. Thank you very much

  Usually, this means that Windows could not load the packages of metadata for some devices on your computer. If you do not already have it, you can run chkdsk/r (there is a space between thek and /) to verify the integrity of your hard drive. Follow the steps below:

  1. reboot your computer

  2. immediately press theF8 key until you reach the Advanced Boot Options menu

  3. Select Safe Mode with command prompt.

  4. at the command prompt, typechkdsk/r
