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.
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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedDesktop PC will be one year next month. I did not renew the Microsoft Office after trial period that came as a package w/ no future intention of acquiring it. I'm using the free Open Office program - word processing mostly at this time. Is there anything in the list below that is of importance? I only have a basic PC with DVD player for movies, etc. No scanner, printer or fax. Not even external hard drive or usb flash drive. Otherwise, I understand that I can just choose to hide the updates, so it will not keep reminding me. Also, I choose to keep my OS w/ Srvce pk 1 and MS IE version 7 for as long as I'll be able to. I had too many probs with Srvce pk 2 and MS IE version 8. Your opinion, if any, is welcome.......

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Office Home and Student 2007 and have just run a diagnostic which suggests that my installation is not up to date and that I go to the Microsoft Update site and download any available updates. When I do, I am asked to sign on with 'Microsoft Update'. The idea is, I think, to combine this Microsoft Update with my Windows Update and let Office updates come though along with updates for Vista, IE, etc. I have posted here before with issues concerning updates including a fiasco I had last November which involved Office updates and am wondering, since Office seems to be working well at the moment (I was bored so I did a diagnostic ) should I bother with this or just leave it? Does Office have security issues like IE and Vista?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI looked at my recent updates and was astonished that there are 96 of them.
It seems to me that software that has 96 problems shouldn't be available for sale.
Each time I download a new update my system gets a little more crappy.
Its a lot like selling you a junk car that doesnt work and then giving you the parts one at a time to try and get it running properly.
I was kind of hoping this would let up for a while.
In my previous post
Having trouble deciding which updates to install , I was having issues with my computer freezing after installing some updates. I found out that not all the updates that Windows tells me about actually apply to my computer. The issues are now resolved and I have even downloaded SP1 withouut issues! (Imagine the Snoopy happy dance here)
This morning, 5 more updates appeared. I have my computer set to tell me about them, but not download til I tell it to. I have looked them up on the Microsoft website, but wanted to ask advice before I go ahead and install and put my foot in again...
They are:
4 updates for Windows Vista, 3 important, 1 recommended
KB951978-the website says this one is for XP SP3?
KB952709-improves reliability
KB955302-I have seen some posts on other forums describing issues installing this
KB957200-reliabiliy (not much more info than that)
and
KB 940157 Windows Search 4D for vista. Recommended.
Vista Home Basic. Trying to check for updates comes up with error 0x8007051a. The link provided does not include this error number. Each boot shows a "Configuring Updates" message. An immediate reboot after successful log on shows the same message. I have done a full System Recovery to rebuild the OS but it gives the same error. Naturally trying to install SP1 fails too. Windows Update service is shown as "running".?
View 5 Replies View RelatedA Windows update could not be installed (Error Code 42D9):
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3
So, I downloaded it from:
Download details: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP3
I installed it, but the update was still showing and it still wanted to install the update - but I thought that's what I just did manually! Why did it still want to install it?
I hid the update from the Windows Update screen.
The next day, two updates came in - security updates for:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 and
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2
The update for Service Pack 3 installed successfully but the update for Service Pack 2 failed (Error Code 733F).
I hid the Service Pack 2 update, but it keeps coming back!
What am I supposed to do?
It seem a bit odd too me, but there has been no Vista Updates since SP1 came out, even for Windows Defender.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust wondering why anyone would turn OFF the Windows automatic updates? The

I have Vista Ultimate installed on a laptop. The onboard audio uses Sountek as the driver but Vista keeps installing Realtek AC'97 as the driver for it. The realtek driver puts my audio into a situation where I get the red 'X' bu the speaker in the taskbak, along with something about 'No audio device is installed'. When I einstall the Soundtek drivers, the audio comes back and works fine. Windows update has installed the Realtek drivers about 5-6 times in the last week and it is time consuming to keep reverting it back to a functional state. Is there a fix to keep this from happening in the future?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI checked windows update (as I've been doing once daily to see if SP1 has been offered yet [no cigar]) and looked at my update history and found that two updates have downloaded and installed without my knowledge. I checked my settings again just to be sure and found the settings still set to "download, but let me choose whether to install." How did those two updates just miraculously install and I didn't do it? So, I went one further and changed the setting to "notify me when their are new updates, but let me decide to download & update." I think it's haunted.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to update Vista Home Premium, on a laptop I have just purchased.
Everything seems to have gone fine, apart from several updates which have failed.
Some of the failed updates are:
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (KB948465)
Update for Windows Live Sign-In Assistant (KB967912)
Security Update For Windows Vista (KB967723)
Security Update For Windows Vista (KB970710)
In total there are 43 failed updates, the majority of which are listed as "Important". So, my question is how do I get these installed? I've followed the troubleshooting tips but can't find any help here. I've searched online, but nothing seems to help here either.
Is it possible to acquire Vista Updates from one computer and transfer these to another one? The reason I ask is because my Vista machine only has a dial-up connection, but my work machine has broadband. So, can I 'grab' the updates on my work machine, save them to a USB or ext. hard-drive and transfer/install on my home machine?
