M73 start problems and corrupted registry after windows updates

Hi,
we are a Lenovo reseller, having had not a lot troubles so far with M72 models in the past.
Since M73 the problems have dramatically exploded. We had so far 5 machines, on which we had to run the Factory Recovery as the OS won't start or was corrupted. It appears that especially after a windows updates the chances of a not starting Windows is very high - Windows repair mostly fails.
Is this a known issue? Does others have the same troubles? Any chance to fix this?
We are currently reviewing all Lenovo installations and will decide whether we still want to sell them or not. Our business clients are not happy about such an instable installation.

We purchased many M72e's and recently appx 100 m73 standard builds and 100 recent custom M73 ax builds, we are regretting this right now. We are scrambling to try to keep these machines functioning properly. At first they seem good but they have tons of issues we are discovering, out fo our new 100, so far we have 10 dead machines, another bunch that have usb issues even after doing bios updates. Many pc's have issues with usb devices not working in one port but will in another. I believe lenovo has a serous problem on their hands with these machines they don't realize or want to admit.
Being the reseller puts you in a bad spot with a product like this. I believe this is a huge liability to anyone at this point in time, I will be going back to our reseller to deal with lenovo b/c I didn't get the help I was looking for with them directly. GOOD LUCK!

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

Firefox won't start after windows update

After windows Updated my computer Firefox won't start. I tried a clean reinstall two times, won't work. When I tried to start the firefox the first time after booting my computer it comes with the following message.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. I like firefox and I'm using it the last 7 Years.
Thanks

I cheated a little bit and put the issue url in a working version of firefox:

I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep

SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 13 inches (9,2).
I run it with 16GB of ram and OSX 10.8.4
I replaced the internal HD with an Adata SX-910 model (512GB) SSD.
(http://us.adata-group.com/index.php?...cid=3&piid=183)
It runs really fast! Boot time is 10 seconds! :-)
However I have a major problem! When I MacBook Pro will end the battery energy and will go below 3 percent, the Mac will go to sleep itself. When I will start back the Mac, with the power connected, every time I will see the desktop colors corrupted and the menu of Apple Safari, Apple Mail and few others gone! Only solution is to re-install Mac OSX!
I took the Mac to an Apple center and Apple did NOT find any problem with the Mac itself. I have returned the Adata to the vendor and got a new one (with latest firmware).... However I have discovered that the problem is happening again! :-(
I have tried to use Insomnia smartspleep tool, but does not work as expected.I think that only solution is to re-charge the battery before it goes below 3 percent.....
please note: using the trim enabler tool did NOT solved the issue:-(
Any suggestion?
Maybe it is indeed an issue related only to Adata SSD? I am confused and frustrated.

Clinton,
Apple hibernation has three modes. By default, on laptops it suspends the system and make a copy of RAM to disk for a completely safe hibernate. When you have 8 Gigabytes of RAM it takes twenty or thirty seconds to write that RAM image. I suspend/resume often during my day and don’t want to wait. This has worked really well for me.
You can change the Mac’s hibernate behavior using pmset; here’s the reference for it:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pmset.1. html
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0″ = suspend to RAM only (default on desktops)
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1″ = suspend to disk only
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3″ = suspend to disk + RAM (default on laptops)
How can I set my MacBook Pro to go into deep sleep, I guess it is mode 0, BEFORE the 3 minutes remaing time? I think to be safe, it should go to deep sleep automatically when it is around 15 percent batter level.....

G4 MDD FW800 starts up and shuts down after several seconds

Hi all,
My G4 MDD FW800 DP.1,48 starts up and shuts down after about 20 seconds. I Have reset PMU and checked battery voltage, witch was OK. (also had it out for 30 minutes with no power connected etc.) I have video and also tried with NOTHING connected. But still it just powers down and failes to enter start up procedure.
Last time I had it running I pulled my iPod, beacause the computer did't see it, the next thing I saw on screen was the message to hold the power button for 5 to restart, after that I got the problem described above.
Anybody?
Thanks,
G4 MDD FW800 DP1,48 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I want to backup my pinned tabs and my bookmarks as they have been lost several times after windows updates

several times after system crashes and sometimes after windows updates my pinned tabs have disappeared. How can I back up the pinned tabs and bookmarks??

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browsing history in the places.sqlite database file..
There are 10 rotating daily JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox

Pavilion Slimline s5257c-b Win 7 64bit - Locks up after windows update

I bought this computer for my kids a few years ago at Sam's Club and i cant find any support for it on the HP Support page. I found that this was not intended for the US, does that sound right?
It had been working fine until about 6 months ago. I had Auto Windows Update turned on. After an update, the pc would start to boot, get the HP splash screen, the Windows graphics and then the screen goes dark. You expect the accounts screen to come up but you get a black screen with the cursor. The only way out is to hold down the power button. It will come up in recovery mode and try to recover its self. Very rarely happens. I normally have to go into recover manager and pick a restore point before the windows update. I have since turned off windows update but every now and then an update gets through. I have looked for anykind of updates on the HP support site but it does not list the machine. I've let the support tool search my machine and it does not find the PC only the printer i have installed.
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks
Ken

Thanks for the explanation. It makes me feel a little better that could not find it.
I have not ran a registry cleaner on the computer but this system is primarily the kids to play their games and music. I did run the ms repair utility from the ms website you sent me. It found an error and repaired it. I will create a new restore point and then install the windows updates. Hopefully all will be better.
Thank you for your time and help. I really appreciate it.

Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
a recovery disk and run:
dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending:
kb2982378
kb2978742
kb2977629
kb2976897
kb2973112
kb2972211
There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:

Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi，
Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
%windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

Thanks a lot
Just want to add that I had to edit grub at start up and add "single" at the end of the kernel line.
The reason is that switching to runlevel 3 didn't work for me.

Profiles being reset after windows updates?

Hi All
I'm having issues with Outlook 2013 SP1 resetting our users profiles after Windows Updates have been applied. Their profiles are being reset whilst their previous profiles are being renamed to "BACKUP of <profile name>".
Office 2013 x86 has been deployed via VL Media onto Win7 x64 machines and we are distributing the ImportPRF registry key via GPO (set to Update) in order to customise the profiles on first run. (basic email account and attaching a default PST file)
It appears that after windows updates are applied outlook is triggering the first run process again and therefore resetting the users profiles back to the standard set in our PRF.
We used this method to configure Outlook 2010 and for the years of deploying Office 2010 we never had any issues. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here or what might have changed in Office 2013?
Thanks
