Update Nvidia Display Can't Be Accessed
Mar 24, 2010
This morning Windows Update informed me of an update for the nVidia GeForce Go 6150 Display. However, when I tried to get more information on it, I was sent to Winqual Help Unfortunately, to get to any link inside Winqual Help one need a digital certificate, which is available for $49. It seems an inappropriate for MS to place explanations in an area that cannot be accessed by all valid owners of a Windows OS. Such explanations should be moved back to the traditional pages where they can be accessed by all.

I am having a problem with a scrambled display in Vista. Here's what's happening: If the computer has been idle long enough for the display to go into standby mode, once it is reawakened, everything seems normal. That is, until you do something that requires UAC, or a 3D game. When the UAC screen dimms, the screen becomes totally scrambled. The same if you start a 3D game like Doom. There is no clearing the display - the computer has to be rebooted.
Interestingly, if after the computer wakes from standby I log off, then log back on, the system performs properly, with no screen scrambling. The system is an Athlon X2 6000, nVidia 7900GT, Vista Ultimate (32-bit) with all the updates and patches. I have installed the nVidia 169.25 drivers, though this problem has existed with all the previous drivers.

My system is now "frozen". On the screen is my two ientities. The mouse pointer is located midway between them and WILL NOT move. I downloaded a NVIDIA update last nigth that may be the culprit, but I cannot do anything because the computer is frozen. There is a round blue icon lower left of the screen the looks like a blue clock. I am not sure it was there before. The mouse is not wireless, teh light is on in the mouse, it is just as if the buttons do not work.

Ever since I did a Windows update back in July, my video card has been acting up. While I'm using the computer the image on the screen starts breaking up, then I get a black screen. I have to force the computer for a shut down. After so many re starts I get a message saying "Display Driver Stopped working and has recovered.
I can use the computer for a little while, and then I get the same problem again. I took my computer to fix when I started experiencing this problem. All they did was clean the fan they said the video cards was good. I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-S9339 bought in June 2007. Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 4 GB Ram 32 bit Internet Explorer 7. I know a few people here had the same problem. Did someone found the fix for it?

i just joined this forum in hopes of finding an answer to my problem, i have also searched the posts relating to my problem. A few days ago my pc was dropped of a stand with the monitor and everything connected. The onboard gfx does not work anymore (nVIDIA 6100 Geforce 405) and the plug is loose so i installed a nVIDIA 6200 Geforce PCI card, everything is fine till i go to run a high graphics game like WoW or SecondLife.
They work for a few seconds then the screen gets all messed up then goes off and back on, then a Hazard Sign in the System Tray pops up that says "Display Driver has stopped responding and has Recovered". Now i know enough to solve certain issues but this has me stumped, i've updated my drivers, even lowered the resolution to try to get the game to work but it does the same thing, now ive had this card in before a few months back, worked fine, then i took it out and went back to the onboard gfx. now the PCI card is giving me issues.

The Windows Update for the "nvidia nforce networking controller" caused my internet to not work properly. I restored my system and rolled back the driver, both on separate occasions to resolve this issue. It worked, however, now I need to know what to do about the update. I cannot leave my settings to update automatically because of this.

What Card does Nvidia make(or do they)that will play crysis at all max settings and Max Res at close to 60-100FPS? I have seen a system with an 8800 Ultra SLI and out past the 2000 range res it dropped to around 25fps. What about the new GTX280?

I have the 32bit version and the computer is no more than 2 weeks old. I have a feeling this may be a virus I have always been very careful with what I do on the tinterweb and generally look after the computer as best I can. I have been using Windows Defender firewall and AVG antivirus and spyware.
I downloaded a file last night, placed it inside My Documents> Downloads. I now have reason the believe its a virus. All in all the computer runs like a dream, but since downloading this file, whenever I go into my Documents, my CPU speed jumps up to around 50% and stays there, then If I go into my Downloads file within my documents, my CPU speed shoots up to 100% and hangs there until the computer is restarted? The file that was downloaded is the only file within the Downloads file. I'm 99.9% sure that whatever it is, its causing this problem. If for example I just turn the machine on and dont access my Docs, it runs fine and only slows down when my Documents is accessed. The file that was downloaded is 10mb's, whenever I try to delete it, the dialog just comes up saying calculating time remaining and doesnt budge. I have scanned my docuemnts and no virus was detected by AVG, I just want to get rid of this file but dont know how!

I'm trying to set up a wireless network between my Vista x64 PC and an XP laptop. Both running the latest service packs and updates etc. Nothing fancy, just trying to share my collection of music and videos with the laptop. Now, on both machines I can see each shared folder, but can't access them all for some reason. On the Vista pc I'm sharing "Videos" and "Music", and both appear on the XP laptop; however, while Music is brows-able and working fine, for some reason Videos cannot be accessed. I've checked and both Videos and Music have the exact same permissions etc., so I can't figure out why one is accessible and not the other.

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact Support Personell.

My laptop has been accessed by one of two people I once trusted... Now my entire system & Event Viewer logs show my User Account & my Admin have been redirected. A similar user name was created to replace mine along with the Registry to delete these changes.I have hundreds of records indicating the changes but no clue where to go from here!The DOS window closes when i try "netstat" or any other attempt to view system. I do have screen shots showing the remote servers, etc I would like to not only clean up this mess but also to reveal the coward! My ex-web designer or ex-bfriend.

I am puzzled. The Indexed locations shown when I press the show all locations button are Microsoft Outlook Start Menu and Users. Only Microsoft Outlook is checked. I was trying out the search facility above the start button on Vista to look for a program and was very surprised when up popped a selection of files that are stored on an external hard drive that I use from time to time as a secondary backup. The files shown have not been accessed recently and at the time of the search the external drive was not connected. Hovering the cursor over the files told me that they were located on this external drive. why these files would have shown up on the search as I have not chosen to have the external drive indexed?

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

As far as I can determine, this update (released 22Oct08) does not work, at least not with Windows Vista Home Premium. I had update 7 running, and got an update notification for Release 10 earlier today. Downloaded and installed the update, tried the Java test page, Firefox (both 3.0.3 and today's Minefield beta-test for Firefox 3.1) hung. Tried the update in IE7, that, too, hung.
Went to Control Panel, clicked on the Java icon, had some problems opening it; when it did finally open, I went into Advanced and found that Update 10 was not recognizing IE. Opened IE, redownloaded the off-line update, to see if that worked; answer is, no, it still did not recognize IE. Back to Java, found the off-line installed for Update 7, removed 10, reinstalled 7; Java works once again. In the midst of this aggravation, trying to figure out what the problem was, I did find one link to an article that said Update 10 had been delayed due to some unspecified problem. Seems to me that, at least for Vista Home Premium, there is still at least one unspecified problem with Update 10.

Microsoft Update was first released a few years ago for Windows XP and Server 2003 as a great way to update all of your Microsoft software installed on your PC. Not only would it update Windows, but it would also update Microsoft Office. Are you a Microsoft Outlook user? If so, Microsoft Update would even download updated junk mail signatures when they are released.
In Windows Vista the new Windows Update application is no longer web-based. Microsoft has built-in the old Microsoft Update functionality into the new interface but you need to turn it on before you can use it. Follow these steps to turn on updates for other Microsoft applications: ...

I have recently had to upgrade graphics card to an XFX 9500GT and I also upgraded the mobo chipset drivers for the latest NVidia chipset. I also did a clean install of Vista x64. The sound card was the last thing I had to install, I could install it, but on restart I kept getting a BSOD error code 0x00000124 or 0x0000009c. The only way to get Vista to startup was to restore to the point before installing the X-Fi XtremeGamer card. After reading the internet I have come to the conclusion that it's an incompatibilty with the NVidia stuff and the Creative sound card.
Does everyone else agree with this or is it something else. Idon't want to go and buy a simple 5.1 sound card if that's not the problem.
