  • Vista SP2 update causing CompactFlash new hardware detection repeated even after installation of the driver

    I have a footstool of m8100n HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium.  Since the Vista SP2 which was installed yesterday through the update of Windows, my PC guard detection of new hardware when I registered.  The application popup never ask again once, ask later, or update/search recommended for software to install what is recommended.  After selecting the option recommended and install the software that it finds, I get a popup about CompactFlash is now detected and ready to use material.  After this exercise, looks all right.  However, every time I connect as administrator or standard user on my Windows Vista computer passes through the detection of the same material and the update.  He should not have to repeat this after installation and update of itself for the new hardware.  What is the cause and Microsoft is aware of this problem?

    I worked with HP on the problem.  It wasn't a problem of driver from the manufacturer because it had no software update HP.  The integrated CompactFlash drive location doesn't have a drive letter assigned.  Do not understand why that would be a problem because on the removable media drive letters are assigned dynamically when you insert a card or a player.  Records didn't have drive letters when running on SP1 and it wasn't and issues then.  This seems to have become a requirement for SP2.

    The fix was to go in Windows disk management and pre assign drive letters to the disks 1 to 4 that are for CompactFlash removable media, MS/MS-Pro, SD/MMC and SM/xD-Picture on my HP m8100n PC.  Once this has been done and that Windows detects new hardware because of the SP2 update drivers, it installs successfully and is no longer repeat the detection/installation process.

  • Tecra M9-136 - BSOD during Vista SP2 update

    Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to upgrade to the Vista SP2 and in the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Mode safe and continuous Setup and then finally reported that the update failed - and came back to SP1. It took most of the morning.

    It will start in Safe Mode, but on a start normal, Vista SP1 gets through fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (there is regarding the display of the desktop).

    The laptop has BIOS 1.80 level. I tried in safe mode to install 1.90 but he told me that the battery has insufficient charge and the AC adapter is not attached. Both wrong.

    Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard failure? Can't see how I can update whatever it is if it's a soft fault.
    Thank you

    Have you tried to make back the OS to an earlier time before the SP2 installation started?
    You can do it in safe mode.

  • NET 3.5 SP2 update KB985254 does not appear to install correctly.

    I use the automatic update of Winows on my XP Pro SP3 and when I was asked to install the updated Net 3.5 SP2, I did it and it appeared to install correctly.  However, Winows Update icon appeared again and again.  Then I noticed that when I stopped my FCP, there was an update waiting to be installed.  I logged off the coast, the update appeared to install but when I started, there was the ison of update again.

    On my laptop, installed upgrading, a reboot is required and installation is complete.

    Why my office co does not work?

    This is the same update offered over and over again.   I started the installer of Winows, removed the update in Add or remove programs and reinstalled, but the offer does not go far.

    However, I subsequently installed four optional updates, including Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework Client Profile for Windows XP x 86 (KB982670) and the problem disappeared.  All just lucky, I guess.

  • Update on call for ask the SP2 update after several 'successful installations.

    I tried to install Vista Service Pack 2 several times in recent months.  Whenever I get the message "successful installation" about 45 seconds after starting installation.  Obviously is not a successful installation as the update takes several minutes up to an hour to install it.  A few days after each installation of 'success' updates Windows will ask to install again.

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • Office 2007 SP2 update tries to install repeatedly, even if Office is not installed

    Hello

    I have a PC running Windows XP Professional, connected to a corporate network.  In the past, Office 97 was installed, but it has since been uninstalled. Any Office program is now reported by Add/Remove programs.  Other computers on the network have Office 97 installed.

    On this particular PC "Automatic Updates" reported that "the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)" must be installed. I let settle and the notification disappears until the next time I restart the PC, after which he reappears. This happens repeatedly.

    How can I stop this behavior, please?
