Unexpected crash after installing XP security update

I use K8T-Neo (FIS2R), with ATI 9800-Pro video card, Athlon-64.
Sytstem works fine until I install Win-XP updates. After installing some updates. I tought it is related to SP-2 as it crashed my system already twice. Recantly, having SP-1 only, I installed some MS security updates and it crashed again. The effect is that after displaying initial Win-XP logo it keeps rebooting. I had GoBack installed, as well as some other utils (RegRun) but none of those seem to be good enough to bring the system to the previous state. First time it had happened I had the most recent drivers from MSI and ATI as well installed (+ latest BIOS ver.)
I haven't done any overclocking, it is just standard plain configuration, however I hasve 2 SATA drives installed running RAID-0, and PSU is 500W. The bottom line is that system starts malfunctioning after installing XP updates, tough I don't know yet which particular downloaded file or driver causes crash.
I believe there is a problem either in MSI or ATI drivers.
I'm wondering if anybody had solve this type of problem ??

Sounds new to me.
Did i get i right u changed nothing to the HW config ?
Try and repair the XP installation using the install CD (boot from it and choose repair).
How does it crash ? BSOD, freezes or restarts ?
BSOD's can be driver related, the others are HW related .

Safari & Software Update crash after installing latest Security Update

I recently loaded Security Update 2008-007 and now Safari crashes on trying to open. I've also found Software Update crashes. Trying to reload Safari and the downlaoad crashes. I'm running 10.5.5 on my G4 12" Powerbook. Any suggestions, before I permanently turn to Firefox? Which of course won't help with Security update

I found that reinstalling the system and not opting to install the security update stop the crashing let's hope the next security update doesn't do the same thing

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

Trouble connecting to Airport after installing latest security update

Hi, I have just spent an hour with a level 2 SBC DSL tech and they could not resolve my problem. The problem is this: After installing the latest security update released on March 13 for OS 10.3.9, I can no longer securely connect to my airport. It may have something to do with the keychain because this has happened several times before, most recently after the previous security update about 2 weeks ago. Usually after much playing around, I get a window asking for permission for my new network settings to access the keychain. Once I say yes, all works fine. This time, I am not getting that prompt. Even though I have a full signal showing I am connected to the base, it will not pick up and IP address. Finally, the SBC tech had me disable the wireless key on the desktop pc that is the primary computer on the system and immediately my connections works. If I enable the wireless security key, I lose the connection. As I am completely open to hackers with the wireless security disabled, this is a big problem. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can anybody help me?! Thank you so much for your help!

Hi, my first post here!
I too experienced this problem this evening, after applying the latest security update to Panther. I had verified that the wireless base station was working correctly and that it's WEP key hadn't become corrupted. There were no error messages after re-starting the Mac, just no IP number via airport.
The keychain utility would hang if any attempt was made to alter the password for WEP, and the airport utility hung too. I used Disc Utility to verify permissions, which found dozens of errors - haven't done any maintenance for months - and fixed them.
On re-starting, Airport was 'OFF' so turned it on, was asked to allow access to keychain, and all is working again.
Thank you to those of you who posted the suggestion about permissions, you certainly saved my evening!

Problems after installing new security update-help?

Hi, how can I verify what I recently downloaded on my mac. I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine. I have doubts as my machine runs like **** now. Apps take forever to open, screensaver comes on when its set to never, printer won't work, etc. Also, if it was just a bad download, can I just try loading it again over the last one? First, I'd love to see what i downloaded. Thanks. In a bind. Never had this happen before. Running 10.3.9
m

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

After installing the Security Update 2015-002 many system app icons have switched. How can I fix this?

I Installed the Security Update 2015-002 on March 13 on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running Yosemite. However after it rebooted many of the system app icons have switched places. For instance: The delete button in finder has the icon for Full Screen (while others are just plain white). And the button for New Message in Mail now shows a search icon. Please see screengrab below.
IS there a way to fix this mess without having to manually change all this?

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

Help needed: system crash during instalation of security update 2008-003

after beginning instalation of security update 2008-003, at the "optimizing system stage", the computer started heating up (to extreme levels) and became stuck completely - except entering and leaving sleep mode when i shut the lid, there is no response i can get.
what can be the reason of this and what can i do about this?

Welcome to the Forums.
Did you repair disk and permissions, before doing the Security Update?... If not.
Boot from Install Disc,and select your language. From the Menu Bar Select Utilities>Disk Utility
After selecting your Mac OS X Repair Disk and reboot.
Then, from Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions.

Kernel panics after install of Security Update 2006-007

I also installed the security update, had a kernel panic when the install was 60% through the optimization. Tried to reboot and now only get the Apple logo screen which then goes to the following command lines:
init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Exec format error
init: can't exec /bin/sh for singer user: Exec format error
init: can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Exec format error
I booted from the OSX 10.3 disk, ran disk repair which found no problems. Tried repair disk permissions which hung up 1/3 the way through saying "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue."
I tried to reinstall 10.3 but get the message I cannot install on my hard drive since it says it could not find an earlier version of OS X (I had since updated to 10.3.9). I have about 3 months of photos in iPhoto I haven't backed up (my bad)and would rather not reformat and reinstall the entire operating system. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Larry
First off, Dr. Smoke has some good advice regarding kernel panics here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
but It could be that your system is screwed at a fundamental level. If you can't do an archive and install from your system CD, then your HD may need formatting as a last resort. Do you have 2 macs, or a mate with a mac book? If so, you can connect them up using a firewire cable, and start you mac holding down the 'T' key to restart your mac in target disk mode. You'll see the firewire icon on your screen when it starts, and the other mac will get your HD pop up on it's desktop.
This gives you the ability to remove the data files you need (like all your photos) BEFORE formatting your HD.

After installing the security update from 21.04.2015 my Phone does not start any more

Hi everybody,
I have installed the update 10052 for my Lumia 535 DS and now it can't be started any more. When starting the phone the two gears appear and start moving but than it's turned off. This happens each time I'm trying to start the phone. Any suggestions to get
my phone running again?
Alexander Allmendinger

Hi Chris, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think your choices are to...
Reapply the Security update...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2008_008__Client_PPC
Reapply the Combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if the Disk Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows what could happen!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

After installing last Security Update 2014–002 i've had problems when trying to open some apps, as they close unespectedly. Boom, Audacity, Dropbox are some of these apps...

Yesterday (april 22) I install the last Security Update 2014–002 from the Mac App Store. After rebooting the computer, I haven't been able to run some apps I use frequently, such as Boom Device, Dropbox, Google Drive, wich didn't show in the menu bar anymore and don't run even when clicking on their icons; or apps like Audacity (open source sound editor), All2mp3 (sound files converter to mp3); and other apps bought from the Mac App Store, as Funtastic Photos. This problem affects even applications as Word, Excel and Powerpoint... I think the problem has reached it's highest levels and I would like to know what can I do in order to reverse my iMac to a "normal" life... I should say that I haven't had any problems with any of the several Web Browsers I commonly use...

I have the sam problem with Firefox and Word. Annoying, please help me. Word does not open at all(still Excel and Powerpoint do, Firefox get a lot of problems, and shuts down.

MacBookPro Freezes after Installing Latest Security Update 2006-003

After downloading and installing the latest security update 2006-003, MacBook Pro freezes when trying to do anything. Seems to do ok in safe mode but did freeze when trying to verify disk with Disk Utility. (did not try to repair as I am out of town at a motel without Tiger disks). Any suggestions before calling apple?
MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Since my post, I think I have solved the problem. At least MyMacBook is working ok so far. What I did is started up in safe mode (for the third time) then I went through the "Library" and looked for stuff that looked like it wouldn't work on a MacBook. This included some Norton Utility things. Also went through preferences and Application Support and did the same thing. By the way I had transferred all this stuff from my old Mac using the transfer app and connecting the two with firewire.
Anyway, it's been working for about an hour. I'll keep this post open for a couple of days to see if it keeps working.

Menu items dimmed after installing latest security update

has anyone else seen this problem? after installing the latest security update 2008-02 on my macbook, file menu and other items are dimmed (grayed out) after a restart. i have to right click on the desktop to bring up the contextual menu before the menu items become available. after that, the machine works as expected. the problem does not exist on my intel imac, which has identical software installed. it's more an annoyance than a big problem, but does anyone have a clue about how to fix it? i've tried trashing preference files for the finder, but that didn't seem to work. thanks in advance.

well, i couldn't figure it out, so i reinstalled leopard and updated it to 10.5.2 with the latest security update and everything is working normally. something must have been broken in my previous set up.

Errors after installing Apple security update

I installed the Apple security update released on May 11
(SecUpd2006-003Pan.dmg) last week and started having trouble with
Dreamweaver. I am currently running Mac OS 10.3.9
I receive the following errors when launching the app:
While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, a
JavaScript error occured.
The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ASP.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
When trying to save a file, I get the following errors and
the file does not save:
While executing onLoad in _beforeSave.htm, the following
JavaScript error(s) occurred: In file _beforeSave: ReferenceError:
beforeSave is not defined.
While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, a
JavaScript error occured.
If I close the file, it will prompt me to save the file and I
get those same errors, but it does save the file before closing it.
I installed the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 updater just to make sure I
had my application up-to-date, but am still getting the
errors.

Kmattingly, welcome, it is a good idea to always Repair Permissions before and after each upgrade. Bootup from the install CD (C key held down) and once the disk mounts (X window) open Disk Utility from the Main Menu under Installer. Choose your drive in the left column then select First Aid, now run the Repair, if it does not repair run it again. Now select the startup volume (with the OS) and run the Repair Permissions, quit Disk Utility.
Now go back up to the Main Menu under Install/Change Startup Disk and select your startup volume then Restart.

System exception running Configuration Wizard after installing several security updates for SP

Greetings,
Have a 2 server farm, SharePoint 2013 SP1, SQL and SharePoint. Windows Update has 15 updates downloaded and ready to install, 2 Server 2012 updates and 2 SharePoint updates, 11 Security Updates for SharePoint. So, I said yeah, go ahead and install them late
last night when I figured it wouldn't interrupt folks. (dumb move)
Windows Update took awhile, but no errors during the install. Rebooted the server as required. Once the server was back, jumped onto the server console and ran the Configuration Wizard to apply the updates to SharePoint. No problem, progressed through the
screens saying it was going to update, farm and sql information, etc. Config Wizard was going through the steps, then failed with the message: "Failed to register SharePoint services." and here's a link to the configuration log so have a jolly time
tracking it down, thank you very much.
I found the error in the log (down about 10,000 lines):
04/10/2015 03:00:02 12 ERR Task services has failed with an unknown exception

So I've been searching around trying to find a clue about this. I tried using PSConfig as well, no dice. I tried using my admin account, the farm account, and the initial setup account, no dice. So I gave in about 3:00 AM and took a break, rather than have
my head hit the keyboard. Left IIS down and SP down. Had some help this morning when someone started things back up for me. sigh. So the users have been in on the sites and doing all sorts of important and critical things, so rolling back to the last
backup is the last, last resort. (Fortunately, I did do a manual backup using a PowerShell script before starting all this.)
Help. Please.
The actual sites are up and seem to be working fine. Central Admin is down though, get a 500 Internal Server Error in the browser, so things aren't correct. Duh. The config wizard didn't finish.
Thanks much,
Steven

0x80131904 translates to COR_E_SqlException. Typically this will be an MDF/LDF file out of space, or the volume that those files reside on being out of space. Check that first, then also check the SQLERROR log file for any issues.
