Microsoft Updates to VISTA ULTIMATE clobbered audio

Qosmio F45 AV-411
Why is my audio getting clobbered when I install MS Vista updates?
The first time this happened was when auto update installed .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 back on 2/26/09. I deinstalled this update and the audio worked again. Now on 4/15/09 I installed selected updates (1 Defender update, 6 Vista Security updates, 1 Windows Mail Junk email Filter, and 1 Security update for 2007 MS Office, and1 Security update for 2007 MS Office Excel). Don't know which update clobbered my audio.
I'm getting tired of this! Is there something I can do to restore my audio and stop this from happining in the future?
Thank you in advance for your input!

Mouse not working after latest Microsoft updates for Vista

After installing the latest series of Windows updates for Microsoft Vista on my Boot Camp installation, the mouse quit working. I am using a mighty mouse, but any mouse plugged in resulted in an error message that it could not install the correct drivers. Re-installing the boot camp drivers did not work, but using system restore to roll back the updates did work. I was wondering if anyone knew which Microsoft update caused this to occur? If you need any further information, let me know.

To be honest, I'm not sure. I was trying to get Reset Points working (oh the timing) and it required me to install updates to reboot, so I simply did that. From what I was able to gather from people running WIN8 on non-apple machines it is often related to changes in intel xhci. Not sure how that relates to a Mac though.

No audio with 64 bit Vista Ultimate, red light in headphone jack

So I've been searching these forums for the last several hours, trying to find some helpful tidbit of knowledge to help me in this situation. I have whatever the latest version of bootcamp installed, and just did a full install of Windows Vista Ultimate (64 bit). With relative ease, I got everything working except for sound. With the generic driver off the Snow Leopard install disk, it tries to tell me it's working, but there is obviously no sound. The red light inside the headphone jack stays on all the time, and I have tried all the dumb tricks suggested for that issue too. I have unsuccessfully manually installed the latest realtek driver (2.28), and even tried both the 32 bit and the 64 bit. The 32 obviously does nothing, but with the 64 it tells me the device won't start, and shows that obnoxious yellow exclaimation point. Just trying to progress beyond this point so I can hear what I am trying to do in windows. Please help!

Same problem here. Daily I plug in speakers at the office, then rely on internal speakers while on the road/at home. I use old analogue speakers that go into the headphone jack.
I don't think i have any firewire audio out devices, but think i might put my hands on a USB one, so will try a varient of that trick.
tried the "wiggle the plug" solutions, but no luck.
I have to say, after something like 20+ years of using apple products (IIC was my first), my instinct here is that this is a software issue. People are getting sound out of a variety of devices (USB, Firewire, headphone plug) and the problem is intermittant but recurring. I don't wonder if it didn't start w/ the last iTunes update (to 4.9)? just a guess there. (although note that when i was fiddling w/ iTunes, the system speed and iTunes slowed way down.
Apple, please note there are two other related threads on this, one small at
Topic: "Sound optical out/ Headphone"
and a very large one (which may conflate several problems) at

Vista Ultimate 64 bit problems with staticy audio or completely missing audio in gam

I've been having consistent problems with my X-FI board under 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate. What's weird about it is that every time Creative comes out with a new driver, my problem goes away for about a day then comes back.
Here's what I have:
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard
Athalon 64 Dual Core processor
4 GB of memory
Windows Vista Ultimate (recenly patched to SP)
The problem I'm encountering is that only when I have the full 4 GB of memory enabled I get static at the end of every Windows sound. For gaming, it's a crap shoot - sometimes it works, others I have to restart the game multiple times or reboot the machine to get any audio at all.
I contact Creative but they categorically refused to provide email-based support since the board was out of warranty - they suggested the forums (I'd looked but not found anything that helped) or a pay per use tutorial (I don't need a tutorial, I know how to use the card).
Any suggestions? Again, as soon as I switch to 3 GB of memory - works like champ. Switch on the full 4 GB and it hardly works. I turned off the cool & quiet feature of my mobo. Updated all the drivers I can find. I'm at a loss for ideas. Help?

And???
We can't help you if you don't tell us what you tried
and what happened when you tried it.This is message when try run on vista ultimate x64 "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000018). Click OK to terminate the application."
you can help??? what is happen???
finally sql developer run or not run on vista x64???
p.s.: excuse-me... i don´t write in english very well.... waiting replies!!!
thanks!

Window Vista Ultimate Updates - Error 80071A91 and 490

I can't update Windows Vista because of these errors, and I can't find any info on how to fix them other than buying registry software. Will this help? Any ideas? I have a T61p w/ Windows Vista Ultimate.
Thank you!

Quicktime doesn't open either and sends same error message

T500 + Vista Ultimate Audio (Headphones) problem

My new T500 running windows vista ultimate seems to be having some audio issues. The inbuilt speakers work fine and I hear everything well. However, if i plus any external speaker or headphones to the computer's headphones jack, there is no effect. The sound still comes from the inbuilt speakers instead if the headphones.
I tried uninstalling the audio driver but it does not solve the problem. When I look into the device manager, it reports that the audio device is working properly. I still tried to install the driver but the driver installation fails.
any ideas or suggestions?

Too bad Apple can't write software to run on Windows.
iTunes is s h i t.
I guess they don't care about Vista uesers

Vista Ultimate - NOT 64bit? How to make it 64bit

I just ordered a new T500 and it hasn't been shipped yet. When I placed my order, I saw the Vista Business 64 option, but I also saw the Vista Ultimate with Downgrade to XP option, so I chose the latter, thinking that Ultimate would also be a 64-bit operating system. After all, selecting the option cost more than the Business 64 version.
In checking the Hardware Maintenance manual, however, it lists the OSs offered on the T500 as including Vista Ultimate in 32bit mode only.
Yikes! I need a 64bit OS! Is there anything I can do? My understanding is that Vista Ultimate, as shipped by Microsoft in a boxed configuration, combes in both 32 and 64 bit editions. Will Lenovo ship me both versions? Is there an easy upgrade path? Or am I better off trying to get my order changed back to a Business 64 version? Is that even possible?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

who did you contact? I have the exact same problem and have been told I have to return it and order a new one. 15% restocking fee and wait anther week or two. I pulled out the drive that came with it and installed a new 320 GB 7200 WD hard drive.

Installed iTunes 7.4.2 on Vista Ultimate - No Longer Works!!!

I was prompted today, by the iTunes updater to install the latest version of iTunes (7.4.2) Installation appeared to complete successfully and rebooted the PC accordingly. However, am now getting a Microsoft Windows Error message saying:
iTunes has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solution to the problem
Check online for a solution and close the program
Close the program
First of all I selected the check online and it did indicate that there was a Vista compatability update available. Installed this but even after the required reboot I'm still having the same issue with iTunes.

Anyone who can help on this - greatly appreciated

Well - bit the bullet again and thought with a 7.4.3 version maybe they'd fixed the issue - well was I wrong or what...
Checked whether quicktime works and it's working just fine... But I'm still getting exactly the same error as last time re the incompatibility of iTunes with Vista Ultimate (32bit edition)...
Does anyone at Apple actually look at the issues posted as I know I'm not the only person to have this issue having looked at other posts?!? The is now the 2nd naff version of iTunes, as well as 1 dodgy version of the iPod firmware I've seen since I've had my 5th Gen 60GB iPod...
Love the iPod - don't think much to Apple's testing procedures for Windows software...

Windows Vista Ultimate and Oh Crap!

Hello All,
This post is a bit of a question and a bit of advice. I am a System's Analyst / Network Engineer. I have a lot of experience with computers, Windows, and Mac OS. Eight days ago I started working with a client on a brand new PC with ALL the bells and whistles. The PC is an HP Pavilion running Windows Vista Ultimate, RAID 1 (Mirror), Removable Media Drive, Great Sound via X-Fi, Great Video via Nvidia PCI-X, and SATA (Obviously since it's running a RAID array).
I got everything setup and running great and as the last step installed iTunes and Quicktime. My client has a few thousand songs, a ton of TV shows, and a whole mess of movies ALL purchased thru iTunes store. Nothing is pirated, stolen, or illegal on this computer. Now, here's where it gets good.
I did the import in a few stages to make the data transfer a little faster. I did music, then TV, then movies. I tested a song and it worked great. I went to play a TV show and the computer slowed to a halt. I let it go like this until activity started on the machine again. It took about 5 minutes and then iTunes crashed. A second later the computer blue-screened and rebooted.
As soon as the reboot occured the RAID array came up in a failed state. I had to rebuild the array and get back into Windows. I tried again with the TV show, had the same result, tried again with a movie, and again had the same result. I called HP and they told me to fresh install the OS so I did. Again, same result.
This has been going on now for a few days with several different tests and several array rebuilds and OS installs. I would have had HP replace the computer or the motherboard but NOTHING else on the entire PC was causing this problem and diagnostics showed no hardware issues. There is/was no reason to suspect faulty hardware or software other than iTunes and/or Quicktime.
Today I ran the final tests and a fresh rebuild. I found some documentation stating that iTunes had some compatibility issues with Vista and decided to try some other videos that I could run in Media Center. They worked flawlessly. I'm left thinking that these problems are specifically iTunes / Quicktime and will move forward accordingly. Apple has stated that they are working with Microsoft to develop a new version of iTunes that is fully compatible with Vista and I have chosen to wait until that version comes out before installing it again.
My question is if any of you have experienced issues like this? If you have, do you have any advice or things you did to make it work? Please comment here as I will be watching this post to see your responses.
My advice is to be very cautious when installing iTunes in Vista, especially with this sort of configuration. I've seen iTunes work fine in Vista before but this is the first time I've worked with a configuration like this. Please be aware of the potential problems. As I've stated earlier, everything else is working perfectly.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post. Have a great day!
HP PavilionCTO D4790Y Other OS Windows Vista Ultimate, 4 gigs of RAM, 256 Meg GeForce 7500LE PCI-X, RAID 1 SATA with 250 gigs

Thank you for the great responses, guys! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get.
Rain-Man, your post is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. This computer is also running WD drives. I had a feeling that WD might have been some of the issue but it only happened on the SATA RAID config. The computer I set up right behind this PC (on another desk) is EXACTLY the same but does not have a RAID 1 setup and runs perfectly with iTunes.
Also, there is a Hauppauge TV tuner running in this PC and, in retrospect, I think may be conflicting with codecs. God forbid you would have multiple codecs installed on one PC....
I'm not going to sit here and bash WD or Hauppauge, but I'm not a big fan of either of these devices. One of the other things that bothers me is that the RAID is controlled by "Intel Matrix" which is the default software RAID controller in this HP product. There isn't any real control in the management console. All you can do is rebuild a failed array or view an existing configuration. That doesn't really say, "AWESOME" to me. Being an HP product I'm assuming this is pretty standard because it was the default software controller installed on this system.
Any way you look at it, I really appreciate the posts here. I agree that there is an issue that Apple needs to address. WD or not, the fact that people are having problems getting iTunes to work in Vista needs to be resolved. We pay for our music and our shows and our movies and deserve to have them working and not getting deleted, corrupted, or damaged when we try to play them or transfer them. I love the fact that Apple is incorporating new technology into their products but we pay for that technology and it should work.
If I hadn't backed up my client's iTunes folder I would have lost everything he paid for. He's a pretty cool guy but how would you feel if you lost a couple grand worth of music, TV, and movies? I would be pretty upset.
In the end, I think RAID or drive configuration on this PC is one of the major issues. It's something to do with the SATA controller and Vista combined with iTunes / Quicktime. I'm not exactly sure how that could be but I believe it's something Apple / Microsoft needs to investigate...
Please keep the posts coming as I will be checking here regularily for updates. Thanks for your input and I hope we're able to resolve this issue soon.

Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!
Peter.

Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

Boot Camp, Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93, ATI 4870 HD

Hello All,
I’ve run into a problem installing Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 on my early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD (the one with one DVI and one mini-display). I followed the instructions from the Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide, and everything was going great until I hit page 12 of the Guide (Step 3). The Boot Camp drivers installed without error, and prompted me to reboot. Upon rebooting onto the newly installed Vista x64 partition, the screen went black after the chkdsk screen appeared. I can boot into Vista safe mode, but booting into Vista normally results in the black screen. On a hunch, while in safe mode, I uninstalled the ATI video drivers installed by Boot Camp. I was then able to boot Vista normally, but only with the standard VGA adapter. Then I tried installing the latest 9.4 ATI drivers from the chipset vendor, AMD, http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx. Booting normally after the ATI chipset drivers were installed left me with a mostly black screen, and a few swizzles of horizontal color, but not enough to make out any sort of image. Once again, I was able to boot normally by first booting into safe mode and then uninstalling the ATI driver, leaving me with the standard VGA driver.
The displays I have tried so far are 1) Apple Cinema HD 23”, and 2) Apple Cinema 20”. Also, I have tried all 6 permutations with the ports on the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD with both displays (using the mini-display to DVI adapter), 2 permutations with both displays, and 4 permutations with single displays. All permutations result in the same black screen after installing Boot Camp drivers.
Am I missing something? It seems to me that there is a display driver that needs to come from Apple that will work with the Apple version of the ATI Radeon 4870 HD in Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 attached to an Apple display. I’ve installed Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 and many other operating systems in the past 27 years of working with computers, and typically with video cards I’ve had to get the drivers from the vendor that shipped the card, not the chipset vendor. Sure, occasionally the opposite is true, and I don’t mind spending a few days to figure out what works best for me as long as I believe I am making progress.
Has anyone else run into this problem with his or her early 2009 Mac Pro Quad 2.93 with Apple’s ATI Radeon 4870 HD? I’m posting this in the Boot Camp forum as I think this problem is rooted in the Boot Camp drivers, specifically for the Apple ATI Radeon 4870 HD. Please let me know if I should post elsewhere.

You are the second person I think I've seen with trouble using Mac Pro and ATI drivers (other was on Mac Pro forum).
When updating graphics, there are extra steps that insure you get the best working drivers.
I've always found Apple to be behind the curve on Windows support. Drivers that come with a card from the vendor ususally means ATI or Nvidia, and even then, you go to the web and download and install the latest tested / beta / qualified drivers. Some people try a variety of driver versions to find the one that works best.
Apple has not been updating Boot Camp drivers for Late 2008 and on Macs. Boot Camp 2.1 is now over a year old. What is on your OEM Leopard DVD is the only drivers I would use - if at all! try without is what some do, and then see if you can selectively install. Under Windows 7, I don't need or install, and now with the RC/7077 version of 7, Microsoft 'blocks' installing Apple Boot Camp drivers as known to cause problems.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unistall the various Apple services, drivers, startup items that you can live without or until you narrow it down. iTunes 8.1+ in Windows can break and prevent ability to even use optical drives and devices for instance.
Some tips for upgrading drivers, one from eVGA forum but should translate.

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates. Upgraded to Windows 7 X64 from Vista X64 almost two years ago. Have never had any problems until morning of April 12th. I will cut to the final resolution to help anyone else who is going through this or will in the future. After trying to repair Win7, restoring back to factory recovery (got code purple), installing clean Vista 64 and trying upgrade to Windows 7 again, formatting drive using /p:2 option of writing 0's twice to whole drive and then doing a clean install of Win7 only to get to the same place of being stuck at "Starting Windows", I tried a trick I had read about. Boot to safe mode, you will get an error that you can complete install from safe mode. Don't close window but hit Shift-F10 and a cmd prompt will open. Type in compmgmtlauncher and choose Device Manager. Disable the Visx PureTV-U 48B0 under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Reboot computer and Win7 complete installation. Since I was able to get into Safe mode back on April 12th, I should have tried disabling everything then, but since it was working without problems before the updates, I couldn't believe that it was any of the devices. I have not been able to get around this issue with the tv-tuner, but I don't have a need for it right now for it. I saw a tip to try moving it to another pci slot and I will try that if I ever have a need to open the computer. Just wanted to document what to do to save others weeks of searching. If this is a driver issue, I can't believe HP or Windows hasn't come up with a more current driver. During all of the installs, I never get a yellow triangle for that device or any indication in Event log or anywhere that there was a problem with this device.

I had a similar issue with mine not working properly running Windows 7 Ultimate.   Mine was working just fine for quite some time and then I moved my system into our TV room and hooked it up to the television, and used it there.   Everything worked fine, I then returned it to the normal location but did not plug the IR sensor back in.
I had issues with it, I then plugged it back in and it seemed to be working fine, then started to freeze while we were working on it, it would do this all the time. I was thinking I had virus, I tried restoring windows to a previous working state. Upgrading my Virus software and everything.   This was all back in October 2011. I finally just thought my system was going out after a number of years.
Then the other day for some reason I moved the IR sensor from one plug to the other. It is currently plugged into the bottom right USB port next to the RJ45 port.   It seems to be working just fine now and I don't have the device you suggested disabled, though I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for you post, Hope mine helps too.

Need help with upgrade from WXP MCE to Vista Ultimate on Qosmio G30 - 175

Hi all, I tried searching for the following issue to no avail so I would be most grateful if someone could help and point me in the right direction:
Tried to upgrade the XP to Ultimate and it got to unpacking stage and BSOD "Session3_initialization_failed (xxx STOP: 0x0000006F (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) appeared repeatedly. I tried again and the same happened.
I have already updated the BIOS and stripped the conflicts out of the Toshiba suite of programmes and the update advisor gave the OK on several ocassions before attempting this exercise.
Help.........Dave

Forgot to mention too that I am currently running with 2 x 2GB Ram and no additional hardware or software has been added prior to attempting the upgrade. The medium I am using to upgrade is a recently purchased full retail version of 32 bit Vista Ultimate (which also includes a 64 bit version too in the box).
I have been in touch with Microsoft Support in recent days and they told me that my hard drive appears to be defective being the reason for the failed upgrade. Infact last week together with Microsoft on the phone we did attempt a clean install but that just lead to me having to abort the clean install and rescue my laptop back to original XP MCE.....flipping heck!!!!!
