Problems after recent "windows critical update" 8 pm 3/13/2012

I was notified around 8pm that a critical update was ready to load from "Windows Update" so I allowed the update to load after I shutdown all open windows. After the update loaded and the computer restarted there was a screech emitting from the system speakers. I found the following changes:  my volume control now has 3 bars the usual volume bar and now a "system sound bar" and a "Stereo Mix (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)" bar, adjusting any of the bars has no effect on the screech, strangely also changed was my help file page. I know request held and no longer get the HP help page but instead the windows 7 help page.
I ran system restore and restored the system successfully to restore point at 9:30 am but all that did was removed the update but did not change the sound issue. Immediately before allowing the update to install I was listening to a recorded stream and all was well.
Any Ideas or suggestions? All drivers claim devices are running normally, and another restore to yesterday did not have an affect either.
Running Windows 7 Ult. 64-bit on a HP dv7t-4000 CTO, I do have extended warranty and I haven't contacted them yet.
Thanks,

    After recent windows 7 updating Adobe reader has stopped to run. Do you know solution?

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Problems after recent slew of updates

    After the recent mass of updates through pacman...I have a few problems. My UPS monitor applet doesn't show up in the taskbar anymore...however it's still being detected, and I can view the status of it w/ "apcaccess status". Another problem I'm having is now ALSA's PCM channel is all messed up again. I've tried the usual fix...blacklisting all the sound modules except for the sound card driver and snd-pcm-oss...but that doesn't work either. Anybody else seeing these problems as well??

    Update: Found a fix for the mouse sensitivity issue. The new xorg server includes new options to put into your xorg.conf file. More information can be found here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Docum … 34190b732d .
    As far as the option I put into my xorg.conf file to fix it was this:
    Option "ConstantDeceleration" "3"
    Hope this helps people in the future.

  • Recent Windows 7 update causing monitor sleep problems/W​indows loop in some HP desktops?

    After perusing this forum, I wonder if there was a recent Windows 7 update that has been causing problems for some HP desktops and displays. My office has a 3500 Microtower desktop running Windows 7 Pro. While Windows 7 Pro is running and in use (as in, not prompted by any user-set power management option), the dual HP displays (via DVI split to VGA) will enter sleep mode ("No Signal", I believe) seemingly randomly/chaotically and without warning. No amount of mouse-waving and keyboard-smashing will wake the displays. The displays will not receive a signal after being turned off then on. Then, not immediately but after some undetermined time, the desktop hard drive light will begin to blink at a consistent 1-second interval (approximate), as though it is stuck in a loop.
    My guess, based on both our office's experience and the posts I've read with the same problem (see below for links), is that this update would have become available either November 16 or 17, November 15 at the earliest.
    Thank you for your attention to this conundrum!
    Aaron
    One more piece, not sure if relevant: a user connected remotely in order to monitor the desktop, but detected no problems with the machine. Unfortunately, I was not able to remain with the desktop to see if the displays had shut off at any point during his monitoring.

    Hi,
    If you think that the issue is related to a recent Windows 7 update then try going back to a known good restore point before the issue occured.

  • Searching problem after 10.5.6 Update

    Hello everyone, we are having a problem with searching shares mounted on clients from a server.
    Prior to 10.5.6 we could search an entire share as well as folders in the share. After 10.5.6 we can't search the share and we can only search folders in the share.
    The server is currently running 10.4.11.
    I guess what I'm wondering is... are there people with server 10.5 that are also seeing this problem or would upgrading the server fix this search issue?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Same problem here, upgraded to 10.5.6 and cannot search our apple server running tiger. Windows shares on 2003 server works fine. Will an upgrade of our Apple server to Leopard solve this issue? Is there an easy way to "uninstall" 10.5.6 without reinstalling the computer

    Hi all...
    I recently installed the 10.5.6 OS upgrade and I've encountered a problem. I can no longer search my network attached servers - there is no search activity of any kind when I type in search terms. My local search works fine...I just can't search anything on my network ... windows servers. Is there a compatibilty issue between OS X 10.5.6 and Extreme Z-IP? Any helpful tips

    After upgrading our workstations from Mac OS 10.5.5 to 10.5.6, we no longer receive Finder search results from our file server that runs Mac OS X Server v.10.4.11.
    Are there any other solutions available other than rolling the workstations back to 10.5.5 or upgrading the file server to 10.5.6

  • Windows critical update blocks Application Express (APEX) with IE6 browser

    We recently started having problems with APEX running on an IE6 browser. You get 'page not found' error. It was just 1 user, then 2, then others, on different days. It was weird and we didn't know what was causing it. Our DBA found it quite by accident. He was in APEX with IE6, then did a MS/Windows critical update and now cannot use IE6 with APEX. We are looking at the patches now to try to isolate which one is causing the issue. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. It would be Microsoft's latest critical update.
    Carolyn

    Apex version 3.2.1
    DB version 10.2
    Web server architecture (?)
    Browser: MS Internet Explorer version 6.0.290.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100427-1636
    Just trying to access the APEX URL gives 'page not found' error.
    We are still on IE6 because a lot of our vendor supplied solutions are still on IE6 so until we get those resolved we have to keep this browser although we are working on a virtualization tool that will help. In the meantime we have told our users they have to switch to Firefox to use their APEX applications and that means constantly switching back and forth between browsers for them. We have identified the MS critical update patch for this but I am looking for a better solution instead of the interim solution of switching browsers.
    Thanks,
    Carolyn

  • A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

    I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
    For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
    A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
    D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

  • WebVPN dosen't work after a Windows 7 update.

    Hi
    Today a costumer called me with a strange problem
    After a Widows 7 update two days ago all their WebVPN users could not log on.
    The web browser comes with a popup with the message: This web location wants to install the following add-on: "Cisco Portforwarder Control by Cisco"
    But nothing happens ?
    If they remove the Windows 7 update, WebVPN works again.
    Anyone there know what the problem could be and what to do to make it work ?
    Best regards
    Rex Petersen / Denmark.       

    Hi All,
    If I am not wrong, the only application that has been affected  because of the Microsoft update is clientless vpn. It is because of the Microsoft  Security update KB 2695962. For more information please visit:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2695962
    The resolution to this can be found at:
    http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120314-asaclient.
    Though this link provide a workaround but I have not seen that working.
    There are two options to make it to work:
    1. Either uninstall the specified security update
    or
    2. Upgrade the code to  the code mentioned under Software Versions and Fixes of the link: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120314-asaclient
    Let me know if this works after performing these steps.

  • Wireless problem after recent upgrade

    Hi Guys,
    I am getting really dissatisfied with Mac. I was avid mac user for last 7 years but recntly I see more and more problem with mac. I bought a new macbook pro few months ago. I have linksys wireless router. It was perfectly fine. I did the recent software update couple of days back and since than I am having problem with my wireless. Whenever I close the lid of my laptop and open it again, wireless get disconnected. Everytime I have to try to connect three or four times to get connected to wireless although every time it says the same thing that I am connected and my internet is fine. But If I try to open any webpage, it gives error that internt is not working. Did anyone else see similar problem after recent update.

    If the revisions don't match, that is the root of your problem.
    No, that is not the source of problem. It was my mistake. `uname -r` in arch-chroot shows the version of host machine's kernel. Thus, I got the correct kernel by pacman -Qi linux.

  • After a windows 7 update this past week, why can't I open emails at my hotmail accounts like I could before the update?

    Up until a recent windows 7 update last week, I could access my hotmail accounts without a problem using Firefox. I can get to the hotmail site as before, but when I click on any link, e.g. emails, nothing happens. How can I resolve this problem? I can open the same emails using IE or Google Chrome (booooooo).

    Same problem and I found a temporary solution download IE. Mozilla won't let me then someone else will . I am really sick of these crappy supposed upgrades that just make things worse! At this time Firefox, we need stability and dependability not another disposal piece o crap!

  • Recent Windows 7 Update has killed windows

    Help, I run Windows 7 in Bootcamp, recent windows 7 update has killed windows, this is what happens.
    Choose to boot to windows - OK
    Hit logon screen - OK
    Logon - OK
    Windows loads, the desktop shows for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank.
    The computer is still ON but the screen is blank.
    I can boot into safemode OK, but can't run the bootcamp update (that I downloaded from here) in safemode.
    I tried a restore point, but the ones before the update create an error, so thats a no go.
    My thoughts are that it is a video driver issue, but that doesn't explain how it gets passed logon working OK.
    I don't know how to fix this if the only way to update drivers is via an .exe vs the driver files themselves like windows usually likes.

    You could try this advice from the Windows side.
    Startup Repair is a good place to start if your system starts acting up. If you can’t get the Advanced Boot Options screen by hitting F8, you can also access the tools by booting from a System Recovery Disc, or the Windows installation disc. While System Repair might not be able to recover your system in all situations, it’s a great starting point before getting into more detailed recoveries like Restoring from an image or clean install.

  • 3 Problems after jb 4.3 update

    stockmail exchange active sync shows only headers - no mail content
    bluetoth connect to my HTC One S didn´t work
    screen flickers when using virt. keyboard
    since everything worked well with 4.2.2 and there was no help from sony i decided to do a rollback
    !* same problems with 10.41.B.0.109 (last working version for me is 10.3.1.C.0.136 aka 4.2.2)

    hi.
    I contacted Sony about the Bluetooth / Wireless problem after the 4.3 update, eventually all I got back was that they're aware of the problems (Bluetooth) and are working on it for the next update. How long this will take is anyones guess.
    I find it incredible that they rolled out the 4.3 update because it has so many bugs, at least give us an easy way to roll-back to 4.2.2 ...... that actually worked!

  • Satellite P200-P100 - Black screen after a Windows 7 update

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
    A few weeks ago, after a Windows 7 Update, my monitor would not show any image, it would light up, but still no image. Not even the BIOS it would load.
    I fixed it by using System Restore using another monitor. The same happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore did not solve it, neither did reinstalling Win 7.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Spre3

    Hi
    You mean you cannot see anything on the internal nor the external monitor even switching the display output pressing the FN + F5 buttons???
    Hmm. in my personal opinion this has nothing to do with the Win 7 update
    I mean the Win 7 OS update/installation should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS even if no operating system would be installed on the HDD!!!
    So I assume the whole issue could be related to the motherboard issue or some parts placed on motherboard
    Did you try this?
    Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor
    Then wait a little bit (1hour) and then connect both parts again.
    Then try to power up the unit
    If this will not help then the RAM modules should be checked.
