I let Vista do two updates on my Tosh A300-1BZ Laptop - I think 1 was an IE8
compatibility update, the second a windows defender patch and the third (enabled in error) was a "windows live essentials" update which I cancelled half way through (by hitting Cancel and then Yes etc).
The updater reported two updated done one cancelled and requested a reboot.
After re-boot all I get after the initial Microsoft "bar graph" loading icon is a blue screen and "STOP: c0000139 (Entry Point Not Found) The procedure entry point ntoskrnl.Ex1AcquireFastMutex could not be located in the dynamic link library HAL.dll."
I've tried using repair windows using F8 and from a Vista Ultimate DVD (which reports no errors) and using system restore to a previous point which reports success but on re-boot the laptop still blue screens with the same report.
I've ran BitDefender Total Security 2009 and got off a few trojans, ran Spybot and got a few as well. I've also ran the cmd prompt command sfc/scannow (with no issues), but I am still getting a blue screen after I shutdown. After it automatically reboots, I get a Windows prompt saying it has recovered from an unexpected shutdown, here is the report: I've zipped and attached (the attachment system doesn't seem to work, so I uploaded it to MediaFire) all of the files that it says could help describe the problem. Here is the download link: 'systemfiles.zip'
Windows Vista Home Premium on an Acer 4420 laptop was working fine up until Wednesday morning. I installed about a dozen updates and ever since then I've had the computer crash randomly but regularly when I have IE8 open. I get a fairly quick blue screen message and then the system reboots without anyone telling it to. If I simply have the computer running but do not have IE8 running it seems to stay stable. I've uninstalled all the updates but it hasn't made any difference--still crashing!
every thing was fine up untill 2 weeks ago when i got my 1st blue screen, i ran start up repair an returned laptop back to it original factory state. yesterday i was installing new windows updates an i got a new blue screen crash i get the option of launching start up repair or starting windows normally. start in windows normally results in a blue crash screen
this time around launching start up repair is different, i still get the white bar saying windows it loading files,but when the bar is filled it trys too boot up windows normally again resulting in a blue screen again the error message i get is
stop: 0x0000007E (0XC0000005,0X8471E0AE,OX8514FBA0,0X8514F89C) volsnap.sys - address 847270AE BASE AT 84722000, DATE STAMP 47918F92
I still have the option of pressing f2 or f8 when u turn it on Everything on the safe mode option screen results in the same error. is there another way i can launch start up repair or any other ideas of fixing this?
After today's windows update I've been experiencing many blue screen, especially after the reboot. I don;t get any in safe mode so I guess it's a driver problem. This is the minidump created on my system. I have 7 of them and they all seem to be the same.

I bought this computer last Dec, 2008 with Vista Home Premium installed. It's had a full time DSL connection the entire time. It automatically receives the Windows Updates when the are available. In fact, it received a bunch of updates last night (6/11/08).I just checked "Welcome Center" again and it does not show SP1. I thought SP1 was supposed to be installed through these auto updates over the last month or so. Am I wrong? I'm sorry to say that Vista has been disapointing and very flakey. I was hoping that the SP would correct some of the bizarre behavior. Should I wait for the Sp1 auto update? Should I download it from MS? Should I skip SP1?
I have Vista ultimate on a desktop and got the Vista service pack 1.on, i have a sony laptop with vista business, but do not get the vista service pack 1 on auto updates, but have all the latest updates on, how can i find out if it is drivers that is stopping it being sent, i checked the alps touch pad driver for any driver updates but they said it is the latest one on.
Installed Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 OEM on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, and the computer immediately began to download and install 40 updates via "auto update". These updates did not affect the operability of Vista, HOWEVER the 2nd group of "updates" (there were like 4-5) completely disabled my onboard NIC drivers and I could no longer connect to the internet. There were no updated NIC drivers on the Gigabyte website for the motherboard. I used "System Restore" but the system would not allow the NIC drivers to be reinstalled.
This is TOTALLY unacceptable when you are obligated to download "Auto-Updates" and then they require a complete reinstall of the OS to repair the damage caused by the "Update". I was forced to completely reinstall Vista 64 SP1. I allowed the first 40 updates to install, then I disabled "auto updates". Anyone else have this problem? Unfortunately, I was unable to determine exactly which module created the problem - but I tried "uninstalling" the top five "updates" on the "installed updates" list but could not get the system to allow the NIC drivers to initialize/install.
Business with SP1 Sony laptop, fast core2duo, 4GB Defender+Avast! Working beautifully for many months, and then a few weeks ago this began happening:
Perhaps 2-3 times a week, and with no consistency of circumstances, a blue screen will appear. It might happen while working or when returning from hibernate. There's a countdown as memory is stored, and then a freeze. The only way to recover is to do a hard OFF (5 seconds on the power switch) and restart. When it first happened, I had not installed or changed anything, so I was comfortable doing a restore. It happened again.
It's confusing because the stated cause is inconsistent. I've checked to ensure that all drivers are updated and nothing that's contraVistarian is installed. What analytical steps can I undertake to discover what's causing this, and then to help me make the necessary changes?
the latest Vista updates were downloaded to my computer. I didn't restart my computer after the updates were downloaded. When I turned on my laptop this morning, the Startup Repair window comes up because windows failed to start. I've run the repair several times, and it's unable to repair. It lists the following
problem details: Problem Event Name: StartupRepariV2 Problem Signature 01: AutoFailover Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.163686.6.0.6001.1800 Problem Signature 03: 5 Problem Signature 04: 262148 Problem Signature 05: BadDriver Problem Signature 06: BadDriver Problem Signature 07: 0 Problem Signature 08: 3 Problem Signature 09: WrpRepair Problem Signature 10: 10 OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1 Local ID: 1033
So, I see that part (if not all) of the problem is bad drivers. Why is this so and how can I fix it? I have a Gateway M-Series laptop (about 10 months old).
It hasn't automatically updated its JVS signatures since I installed the new service pack on May 27. I can still manually update, but miss the convenience of auto. I checked my Windows Firewall settings and created an exception for Avast. I have performed a repair installation of Avast and have even renewed my license key early. Is there some kind of incompatibility between Vista SP2 and Avast that I don't know about?
friend did auto updates now nothign works, cant roll back uninstaller wont work, installer fails, heres the logs sorry theres loads!!

Problem Blue Screen. No new hardware or software installed recently, last Windows vista update was on 01/15. When I start first, PC passes user registration (boots fine) and does the normal stuff like loading software and starting the wireless internet connection via Netgear, opening some windows/programms I will close. All normal, but than comes a Blue Screen and very fast shut down of system with restart. Hardly can read the message...Look like Blue Screen appears when to much action is going on like opening of IE and Outlook... or open to many windows... or some bad programm/hardware is booting. But when I restart, restart gives a different blue screens and trouble is much earlier or directly after registering to the system.
But all starting or booting turn slower, real slow now. Start in --safe mode with net working-- the PC works, but the PC can't handle heavy workloads, is really slow in action. I cannot open --My pictures-- to see all picture files displyed on screen (2.7 GB) (the process trying to access the files in safe mode is real slow) and when I attempt to transfer the file to a USB stick, the computer is stopping in middle of action (after 50% transfer)..........
I've been doing a clean install of Vista x64 for about a week and have been getting many random blue screens of deaths yesterday I did another clean install and only had about 4 drivers or so installed and I got a BSOD but no dump file was created for some reason so I kept installing more drivers and it work for about 4 hours till it crahsed again this time it gave me a dump file so here are the results.......
So this is my first post on here, and its a good one!! I've have this prompt to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706) for quite some time now but it never installs, It keeps saying Some updates failed to install, I have no idea if i need to install this but its really annoying if i go into sleep mode it tries installing and the same when i shut down, is there any way of installing this at all?
My other computer was working perfectly until I installed these 4 optional updates. I am running Vista Basic Home and now cannot connect to my Belkin wireless router and therefore have no internet.
2. Realtek Semiconductor Corp -Storage-Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader
3. Update for windows Vista-English (KB937286)
4. Marvell-Network-Marvell Yukon 88e8038PCI-E Fast Eternet Controller
The wireless network connection to the the Belkin is listed under 'connect to a network' with a strong signal, and the computer I am typing on is connected so I know the router is working, but zi get the message that Windows cannot connect to belkin54g. When I go to uninstall these updates, they are no listed that I installed them and therefore cannot remove them...
Microsoft is preparing to release a pair of updates next Tuesday. The company said in an advance notice that the November edition of the 'Patch Tuesday' release will include one fix labeled 'critical' and a second labeled 'important.' The critical fix addresses a vulnerability in the Microsoft XML Core Services component in Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, 2008 and Windows Vista. While Microsoft did not disclose the exact nature of the vulnerability, the company said that if exploited it could allow an attacker to remotely execute code on a targeted system. While the second flaw could also allow an attacker to remotely execute code, Microsoft rated the issue as an 'important' risk. The vulnerability lies within a component in Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
Microsoft offered little more on the nature of the vulnerability. The company typically refrains from disclosing specific details on a flaw until a fix can be released.The November update comes just two weeks after the disclosure and patching of another critical vulnerability in a Windows component. Shortly after the company posted the fix, an attack for the flaw was reported. Microsoft is planning to release the update next Tuesday. The update is typically released by early afternoon US Pacific time. Microsoft to deliver a pair of November fixes - vnunet.com
I receieved and installed 9 updates today from Microsoft. After rebotting, I am getting the following error: Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn???t respond. I am running Vista Home Premium.
I have some Vista Business users running with Limited accounts so that they can't install programs with the admin password. MS Automatic Update service seems to be running as Administrator so those patches get applied seemlessly and without my user having to call me to apply them. But I would truely love the ability to allow for Firefox and Adobe Reader to update themselves as well? Is this possible? I just can't keep up with all those updates on those two program for everyone here at work. Hey, I wonder if Google Updater can update these apps seemlessly: Ummm... I guess this runs as a System Account. I'll give this a shot and see. Otherwise any other suggestions are welcome. Overall though, I'd like to see how to define a specific program (well understanding the security ramifications) to install it as admin automatically.
Sometimes when watching a video in vista media center, the screen control's won't auto hide. The mouse cursor also won't disappear like it should when mouse is kept idle. A reboot of PC fixes problem but I'm hoping someone has a solution other than having to restart my computer multiple times in a day.
I've had voltage issues causing my computer to freeze or reboot during games and dvds. Fixed that and the computer was fine after memtest showing no problems. That was late Dec.
A few days ago, the computer would go to a blue screen saying it's dumping physical memory and then automatically reboots. Thinking my harddisk might be collapsing on me (I have a seagate barracuda 7200.11 500Gb HD with the SD15 firmware, the infamous crash friendly HD), I flash the HD with the SD1A firmware from seagate, then it was fine. 2days later, Catalyst started to cause problems by not responding, so I formated the drive and reinstalled vista ultimate, along with Catalyst, drivers from Mobo manufacturer ASUS, plus a couple of other softwares. That was yesterday, and now I'm getting the same blue screen back, or the computer just freezes.
I commonly get a blue screen. So how do I solve this problem 2ndly, whenever I play music on my WMP, the computer may just hang on me, giving all but zzzz buzzes and the whole screen shows lines.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 3081 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 98DD3A3D BCP3: 8837B8FC BCP4: 8837B5F8.......
My one guess is its something to do with the display driver maybe because that has been stuffing up a bit of late, in the way of the screen going black for a couple of seconds then recovering.
I've had pretty good luck with vista so far but every so often it will blue screen on me and I cant figure out why. The scenario is
1. System startup from power off condition 2. System boots to login screen 3. Blue screen referencing processor timing or something
I have not overclocked or anything everything is vanilla. I would also note that I run hardware diagnostics utilities and it seems fine. Also, I never get the message about abnormal system termination like ususal. How can I get a clue as to what is going on here. So far it seems like the error is bogus, I can log in and the machine will run for days with no problem.
I am having a nightmare with my laptop which has windows vista ultimate on it. I chose to shut down the laptop by choosing the option "Shut down after installing updates", and so it started to shut down. However, after a couple of hours I checked and saw the laptop was still on, and it was stuck on Update 3 / 3. The status screen displays the following: Installing Update 3 / 3 - 0%
A couple of moments later, the laptop displays "Shutting down" and just like that it does. Not matter which mode I run the laptop in or how much times I let it "loop-around", it returns to the same screen. The problem is I cannot even get to the login screen, let alone try something to fix the damn system! I am really against a wall here, as I have no idea what to do. Is there a way I can backup information from my hard drive while the laptop is on, but not logged on? - Is there a way I can restore the latop to an earlier state using the restore option without logging on to the system?
I just recently purchased a new game, and it said it would help the game's performance to install Vista Service Pack 1. While doing this, at the end of configuring updates, I recieved a black screen and "0xc0190036" with some message like keyboard. after it. It never changed from this screen. From different websites online, I read my best bet is to reinstall Vista. I have an Acer computer, and I am not positive that I recieved a back-up CD with my purchase. If I did, it must be lost, as my house is organized like an OCD freak would do. I was able to find XP OS disk, and quickly put that in, only to soon realize this was a Dell OS. This basically was a whole bunch of fail, and now it seems my only option is to boot "CD-ROM" with the Vista CD which I do not have in there...
So I've read so many pages all around the web about this problem, with no explainable reason (no updates or installations) I booted up yesterday to find that after login my desktop was black with only my cursor visible. I wait some 5 or 6 minutes and the desktop appears but explorer.exe is slower than slow and takes the same amount of time to action any click. Painstakingly, I went through msconfig and disabled everything, one by one I re-enabled each item, rebooted and tested the results. Rinse and repeat for every process. All worked fine until I came across 'Shell Hardware Detect'. If this process is enabled then I get the error described above.
So a cursory search around the web doesn't seem to yield many resolutions to this problem. I only seem to be able to find similar issues on Win XP SP2 - however i'm running Vista Premium X64 SP2. I'm angling towards SP2 as ever since I installed it I've noticed a few bugs. Typically, searching on Microsoft's support website the term Shell Hardware Detection yields nothing whatsoever. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this process functioning properly again?
A friend has an Acer Desktop with Vista. It was installing the latest Windows updates, and 'hung / froze' ( her words ) Now, when it starts, it displays the BIOS screen? Obviously some sort of major problem? I was going to try the Recovery Console first?
I have a Dell laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. Everything was going fine today until I clicked for updates to be installed and then to re-start after the updates, as normal. However, now when I start the computer the Windows screen says 'Configuring Updates: Stage 3 of 3. 0% complete' then it shuts down and automatically restarts with the same message. This has been going on for hours and I cannot get into Windows or do anything else. Is this a virus?
