i thought ms had fixed most of the angrily problems what admins brought to pain and desperation a little bit disappointed about vista service pack 2. many problems are still present.
'bad explorer behaviour about detailed view' 'bad external usb harddrive support' usb drive on chkdsk sometimes cancel and disconnect, anger still again with vista.
I keep getting a message that this update is ready to install. I have installed it about 10 times, but after it is installed, I get the update icon and the same update is there ready to be installed. When I look at the installation history, it shows that it has been installed successfully. HOW do I keep this update from showing up time after time? Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)
I have a vista HP set to recive auto update .This morning it shows to update XML core service 4.0 service pack 2 (KB936181) I did the update and few second later it shows the same update I did this 3 times and restarted the computer and it is still shows to update the same thing over and over.
When installing service pack 2, I get to the "Please read the license terms". The "Next" key at the bottom is not available for selecting ... it is grayed out. All I can do from this point is select cancel. I downloaded Windows6.0-KB948465-X64.exe. I have a 64-bit computer and am running Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 6001: Service Park 1)
Windows asked me to update to Service Pack 2 ( I have Vista Home Basic 32 bit). After the update, I cannot start my pc anymore. I always end up in a black screen with these texts
!0xc0190002!3937/47219 (Mahjong.exe)
1.Started Start Up repair - did not work. Froze at some point,Safe Mode - I still couldn't get in. It froze on "Loading Windows Files"
I was wondering if I had the correct Service Packs. Under Windows Updates I can see them all going back to when I bought it. It shows 1 service pack update, KB948465 on 9/19/09. It does not show a 2nd. Under Windows Edition in my System (Control Panel) it shows Windows Home Premium and Service Pack 2.
I may have missed something but I thought that MS would be releasing it to the masses in March. I keep looking at MS Download page and running Windows Update and hile there are "tips" on downloading, I can't find the file.
I'm a Vista and IE user, not a Developer. Sequence of events:
last week... downloaded Vista Service Pack 1 this week... IE8 has stopped working... screen goes white... DEP problem (blocks code execution) or DEP/NX No-Execute Memory Protection.....................
I had a working VPN connection with Windows Vista, my computer encountered an error and the resolution was to upgrade to Service Pack 1. I did and now my VPN connection does not work. I can bring a laptop home from work (Windows XP) and it will connect. Anyone have any ideas? I have gone into the properties to make sure the settings did not get changed.
I have recently installed SP1 to my Vista X64 machine (dual core 6700 o/c to 3ghz, 8 gb ram, raptor 10K 74gb system harddrive, raptor 10K 150gb large file and partitioned PS scratch disk, 340 gb 'everthing else' harddrive, nvidia 8800 640mb gts videocard, wacom A3 wide table) and I have noticed really strange behaviour in PS CS3. It generally feels slower and when I work on larger files (183x120cm @300dpi) it's much slower than pre-sp1 on the same file size.
The odd thing I have noticed is that it crashes (fades to white - not responding ) when I use the transform scale tool and when I add a Layer blending effect ( drop shadow / gradient etc ) it never did this before as it used to render it instantly.....now it takes a least 30 sec to 1 min to create and/or recover from the 'not responding' white out screen. Has anyone else found this with PS CS3 and Vista SP1? - It's very annoying especially as I had the system perfect before the SP1 upgrade. How can I fix this?
I have a Genuine version of Windows Vista on my system. Four times now I have tried to install SP3 with failure each time. It will go through the complete installation process with the 3 stages upon restart and shows success on all three of those stages but comes back saying that the upgrade did not take and my system is reverting and changes that were made during the install. My system ill run normal afterwards.
After being prompted that new Windows updates are available, I have attempted twice to install Service Pack 2 but get the error message" Service Pack did not install. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer." I already have SP1 installed on my HP Pavillion 32 bit OS with Windows Vista Home Premium. Please advise if this is a known problem and a possible fix.
The problem I ran into was that after installing Service Pack 2, some kind of error or glitch started occurring. What happens is that I restarted the computer after the install, and when Vista boots to the desktop, only about 5 icons in the tray would show when usually there are 10-12 that display. So I then tried opening Internet Explorer and you see the hourglass symbol show next to the cursor showing that it is working, but then it disappears and nothing displays. No window shows for IE. I tried launching other programs and the same problem occurs. No windows would display, but in the Task Manager, I see the processes running.
So I figure the issue is related to Service Pack upgrade, so I restored to the point before the Service Pack 2 upgrade. Everything worked fine. So I tested the computer after a restart again and again the non-window launching error occurs.
I stumbled acorss some proccessing issues with CA Security software that would hog some memory, but I am unsure that it is the reason for this error. Could it be that the Service Pack may have installed improperly, thus, creating some kind of window error? Or do you think it could be related to some preinstalled program having incompatibility with the Service Pack?
I have contacted Microsoft support and they suggested resetting IE, but I don't think that is the solution. I haven't tried it yet. I sent them a HiJackThis log and they reported no problems with it. No viruses or issues to report from a Malwarebytes scan either.
Has anyone installed SP1 for Vista on a PC with MacAfee security suite? I turned off all of my non-microsoft services and attempted a 3rd install and it still did not install. Microsoft told me to completley un-install MacAfee and then try to intall SP1 again. My question is, if anyone has done this; will it work? I hate to waste another 3 hours doing an install and revert.
If I'm not having any problems with Vista do I need to install the new service pack? My computer came with it preinstalled and I have no CD or backup. I've tried several times to install it but keep getting error 8007371C. I went to the manufacture and they said I need to do what sounds to me like to a destructive recovery then install SP1. I see where a lot of people are having problems with the new service pack. I guess what I'm asking is will I be buying myself a headache if I install it?
Reason for wanting to install service pack 1 : The Problem: My windows Update tells me there are no more important updates only optional ones. I checked the optional updates and there is nothing in there that has to do with service pack 1. So i downloaded "Windows6.0-KB936330-X86-wave0.exe" that installs service pack 1 Execute it and it starts out all fine as if it was working. After a while this shows up. I've Checked with the microsoft site and tried closing programs, restarting then running it as soon vista starts, but nothing.
i'm new to vista and i want to check if my computer has SP1, how do i do that? and if it doesn't have SP1, what is the best way to go about getting it?
when i enter my computers properties, it says: Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 3, ok so wait service pack 1 wont come out till 2010 may, and here it says i have sp 3
recently my windows vista had an update of the service pack, n this happens. when i clicked the window color and preference and sounds, it only pop out the appearance window while it suppose to go to this page below. and even more i cant open my games.. is it all this got to do with the graphic card? btw im missing the Windows Vista Standard option in the first screenshot
I've tried five times to install SP2, but still get the error message"Service Pack did not install.Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer." I've tried to install SP 2 with the downloaded package in addition to Windows Update and also downloaded the cleanup tool. I've disabled my Norton antivirus program and still SP2 will not install. I already have SP1 installed on my HP Pavillion 32 bit OS with Windows Vista Home Premium. Do I really need to install SP2.
I am running vista home premium and i have downloaded the service pack 2 download from the download centre. When i try to install it it tells me the following 'you must install windows vista service pack 1 before continuing' i definately have pack 1 installed already but to make sure i tried to install it again and it said already installed.
I had two failed SP1 installs; got to 100% then said "Service Pack did not install. reverting changes" - that was from Windows Update, second attempt was from a manual download of the all languages file (the failure message was slightly different - it was "Updates were not configured correctly. Reverting changes".) OK so far. Now update says I should have KB938371 (which MS say fixes SP1 install problems). I click ok and it reboots and hey presto - Vista suicide! PC won't boot. The problem was a missing winload.exe with error 0x00000f (IIRC). Luckily I have Linux installed (bless Linus Torvalds), so I download your iso, boot that and try the repair function. Doesn't work - says "Disk corrupt". Also no copy of Vista is found so can't go back to a restore point (probably because one of my Linux partitions is the active one which runs a boot manager). After a few attempts with this and that I try this, and it works. Open a dos command prompt and type copy x:windowssystem32Bootwinload.exe c:windowssystem32winload.exe Corrupt disk, eh? And now my vista works fine, although it still don't have KB938371 (haven't tried it again yet) and SP1 is not installed. What a mess. M$ one of the richest companies on the planet, should be ashamed of this.
I have a HP Pavilion a6400f desktop running Vista Home Premium and IE7 as browser. After a blue screen crash, the system recover itself, but has since then been unable to connect to the internet or to my network. I get the red X in the lower right side corner of the screen. When I point to it says "Connection status: unknown the dependency service or group fail to start." When I click Diagnose and repair, a window comes up saying "network diagnostics cannot run because the diagnostics Policy service is not running." Then, I opened the service control Manager and try to start the DPS manually, but i get Windows could not start the service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied.
I have a HP laptop with Windows vista home edition, and this has never happened to me. It started today, in which I thought it was nothing. I'm a little worried to be honest and I don't know what's wrong with my connection. I can access the internet on my mother computer which is a desktop, yet I can't on my HP laptop. it says "The Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start"?
I stupidly deleted C:UsersMyName tuser.dat. Now when I try to log on to my account, I get the message "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon." I am now logged on to my Administrator account to post this message. All of my files that I use daily are in the MyName account. I deperately need to be able to access the MyName account. How can I restore the ntuser.dat file?
After posting this, I checked C:UsersMyName tuser.dat and saw that it is now listed after I rebooted the computer, but I still cannot login to my account.
