• Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

  I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
  I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

  I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
  No problem at all with the restoration.

  Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
  The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
  Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
  It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

  I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

  How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

  No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
  I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

  Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  It identified the rootkit and removed.
  Seems to be OK now!

  Hope this post could help others.
  Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

  Thanks for sharing!

I have since reset and formatted my drive arriere-lever win7 and apps installed about SEVEN times each because of some continuous update Win7 will also happen the MBR disk. I now 181 important win7 updates waiting to be installed, but I'm frustrated not knowing which are the original boot sector back from GPT to MBR.

• Can upgrade only to win 10. Cannot download the Win7 updates

  Hello

  Earlier this month following an upgrade of Windows 10 (Win10) was put at my disposal as well as updates of November for my Windows 7 (Win7). Because I am unwilling to upgrade to Win10 at this time, I hid the upgrade and began installing Win7 updates only.  Unfortunately, the updates will not install correctly.  Since there are to many updates of new Win7 (partial, listing in the exhibit no. 1), I started checking and installing a little at a time and restarted my computer if necessary.  It succeeded the first 2 attempts.  Then, no matter how few updates, I checked, they could not be installed.  The 'check-off' updates no longer appears on the page "Windows Update" to be installed (Ex. 2), only the Win10 upgrade is displayed.

  I hope someone can help me.  Thank you.

  Room no. 1

  

  Example 2

  

  Most likely the upgrade is under "Optional", you must hide the upgrade before getting updates. As long as Windows 10 is in the queue you can not get updates.

• Several tools/utilities do not work after the Win7 update

  Hello

  I work with a laptop Tecra A9 PTS52E that had Windows XP running on it.
  I've recently updated to Win7, but not a Toshiba installation disc.

  I found a number of drivers (not all) for tecra a9/win7 online;
  but some things still do not seem to work properly.

  First, I installed the added value package 20100419152838,
  but OSD and power Toshiba Manager do not work. Instead win7 always tells me that my battery is broken (?) Is it possible, this can be corrected?

  I've also had trouble finding Toshiba disc Creator, and I could not help security Toshiba works properly...

  Thank you

  If I understand you right, you did a new install of Win7, using the original installation disc for Microsoft. Can you confirm this?

  I must also say that all things must be installed in the correct order. I put t know how you did that, but I hope that most of the preinstalled stuff works correctly.
  VAP. What is OSD and what is the problem with the battery? Battery is not recognized correctly?

  Toshiba Disc creator is an additional software offered with the original image of recovery only and is not available for download?

  I know what Toshiba Assist, but can you please tell me Toshiba security help what?

• Satellite L850-138 cannot verify Win7 updates

  Since I bought this Toshiba L850-138, I get a notice that it is not possible for research on Windows Update. I had to change the laptop by a problem with the batteries and continues to give the same error.

  I applied a patch for Windows, but still have the problem if I'm scared, that it's something disk image used in this model.

  Can you help me please?

  What Windows Update settings on your laptop?
  You use option search updates automatically?

  Are you using the original preinstalled Win7 that you got with your laptop?

  Somehow the problem is strange to me.

• Keyboard Y550 numbers do not work after the Win7 update

  All,

  Thanks in advance for helping me wit HCet problem. I have a bought Y550 a few years back (read as out of warranty). It was shipped with Windows Vista and has been working well (especially) since I've owned it. I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, bought the upgrade software and run the upgrade.

  Following the upgrade, the keys do not work correctly. IF blocking issue is not engaged, no button works. If I commit number lock, keys working 7-0, but then the rest functions keyboard oddly. I restarted the computer in safe mode, and the keyboard works perfectly fine in safe mode.

  I guess it's a disk problem and not hardware related. The thing is, I seem to have the most up-to-date synaptic drivers loaded the Win7 upgrade.

  This is a strange problem and I hope that something that some people have seen. It made the laptop pretty unusable - numbers are important quite rudely...

  Thanks for any help,

  Cosmo

  All,

  Thanks for your help. It turns out that it was the bloatware GuardID seemingly does not well with Windows 7. In addition, Windows did not detect this program as a compatibility issue. In any case, as soon as I uninstalled the software, the keyboard said to work correctly. Thanks to everyone who helped, I appreciate it.

  Now, I must determine if Onekey recovery worth it - I really want to upgrade to an SSD...

  After that first, I tried the "update to stop service" and replace the "SoftwareDistrabution" folder and then I finished the above.  The two have not then I found this "KB947821.  She's not too, and I still get the same error.  Yes I am set up as an administrator.  I posted this in this article, but I guess that since he said no one will look at it again.  The problem persists.  I noticed that after using my wifes (also admin) profile also has a stateing error notices that updates could not be expected due to these operations were in use.  There is no open program so I guess once again, its operations of os it's referring to.  So if the operating system uses the normal programming to run, how to stop it and apply the updates?

  Thank you

  Ok.  I spent the entire weekend of troubleshooting.  Like I said it was something I was missing.  It WASN'T a VIRUS.  The 1st question you should have asked instead of implying it's NORTON or that the system has been HIJACKED, was simply at the facility, the second, you activated the operating system?  I would have said no.  It was because of the wait to see if I could determine the cause of other issues.  Stupid I think MS would actually let the system work with activation.  This unfortuantley not solve the problem of 'network', which is persistent at the same intervals.

• Win7 updates fail on the new X 230 notebook

  Hi, I just bought new lenovo X 230 with pre installed win7 64 bit professional. My win 7 updates are downloaded and installed. However, after restarting the laptop, updates fail to set up, and the system returns to the previous state. And starts to download, and then again updates, and once again, I get the failure message... I also got new lenovo E530 with pre installed win7 home 64 bit. And I'm running into the same problems, it looks like a general problem with updates. I tried to fix it on the web from microsoft, which did not help.  Then I called lenovo warranty support, and they advised me to first install update KB2732500. I tried, installation of 2732500 succeeded however has not solved the problem of another failure of updates. Thank you very much for your suggestions!

• Satellite R630 - 130 missing Webcam from the device after Win7 Update Manager

  Computer laptop only 6 days in use. After that Windows 7 update integrated webcam just disappeared from the Device Manager and, as a result that does not work.

  System just can not find. New drivers did not help, as well the default BIOS setting. I even restored the system 6 days back - nothing like Web camera in the Device Manager.

  This problem is common on the Internet - but there is not a lot of information on Google.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I really wonder why the OS cannot recognize the webcam?  :|
  Generally, if the driver or the software is not installed, you should see an unknown device, but as I understand your message, even this unknown device is not visible.

  What to say try upgrading the BIOS, I read somewhere in the forum that the BIOS update can be useful in such a situation.
  If this is not enough, try the new OS installation (recovery of the laptop) and check if the webcam seems once again

• A frozen (for more than an hour) when installing Win7 updates

  During the installation of updates during a restart, IQ506 froze, although few 'circle' still rotating, for more than an hour so far.  Message says not to put off, but nothing happens.  Where should I go from here, if I am not in power down?

  A few times just to give up and put off, I look at the HD indicator, if it goes 30 minutes without blinking I give him a strong power off, if the HD is flashing I will usually let it run all night

  Error code Win 7 643 for update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x 64 systems (KB973688). Must have tried 10 times at least.

Also how can I remove the extra cannot be installed in "Update history".  One thing it says XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2.  I do not have the Service Pack 1?

  A1. What program "At Microsoft fix it program" (e.g. KB971058)? I don't mention a "fixit" in any of my previous posts on this topic.

  A2. It is assumed that you should not have deleted the content of...
  
  %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads<=this>

  .. .alternance step 2 in my second reply to this topic.

  In addition, if you had completed all stages #1 à #4 in my second response to this issue, Windows Update should no longer offer KB973688.

  A3. It is quite possible that the preparation of updated system (or CheckSUR) tool had already been downloaded & run my Windows Update.

  TIP: Read the Symptoms section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973688.

  (1) do you have an installed application that "uses Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) to process XHTML files" and (2) that "generates a lot of requests when it tries to retrieve well known from the definition of the Type of Document (DTD) from a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web server files" and (3) to "these redundant retrieval requests cause the W3C Server block requests DTD?

  If you can't answer YES to all three of these conditions, you don't need to install KB973688 and steps #1-#4 in my second reply to this topic should prevent Windows Update from the offer.

  Sorry, but I can't be any simpler than that. Yes, it's a little complicated, but it isn't either "rocket science". Good luck.
