Sharepoint 3.0 website no longer working after Windows updates installed

We have an Intranet site that was set up in SharePoint 3.0. Over the weekend windows updates were installed, specifically KB2687442. Now my Intranet site does not work. When I try and run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard it
fails at step 9 with the following error : Failed to upgrade SharePoint Products and Technologies An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException was thrown. Additional exception information: Cannot start service SPAdmin on computer '.'. When I try and
start the Windows SharePoint services administration service manually it fails to start. When I look in the windows event log there are errors in the application log about SQL exceptions

Hopefully this gets moved to the right forum - it doesn't belong here.
I've had a few customers run into this issue as well after running Windows Update.  Reboot the server (admin service should start), and then try the following command:
psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait

  • Browser cache ignore no longer works after windows update

    Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did
    this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many
    places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no
    longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a
    URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files
    off my disk.
    This thread talks about the cache blocking trick:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=665&threadid =1357763&highlight_key=y&keyword1=cache

    Here's a technique I use. In a php file:
    header("Expires: Mon, 20 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
    header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
    header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", FALSE);
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    This must be wrapped in php tags.

  • Windows 7, Gateway ZX4971 All in 1 (factory OE components, never opened) Internal speakers no longer work after Windows Update

    I have a Gateway ZX4971 that came from factory with Windows 7 installed, all specs and windows component info is below.
    Everything worked fine for over a year then windows applied an update and I no longer have sound coming from my headphone jack or internal speakers. 
    I have tried restoring the system back to before the update and it didn't make a difference. I have also reinstalled windows and still no sound.
    Audio troubleshooter does not discover any connection issues.
    There are no errors in device manager, speaker properties, or Audio Properties.
    Volume Mixer shows audio is being played with sound indicator.
    I must use a USB audio dongle and external speaker to have sound

    Hi,
    According to your description, since system reinstallation is not helpful, it's probably a hardware problem, it would be better to check if it is the device itself problem.

  • Touch Screen No Longer Works After Windows 8 Install on X220 Tablet

    I was previously running Windows 8 Preview and did not have any problems with the touch screen.  I have tried two separate clean installs of Windows 8 Pro, and the only thing that will not work is the touch screen with my finger.  The pen still works, but not the finger touch. 
    The driver installation for both the pen and the multitouch fails with and error saying "A supported tablet was not found on the system."
    Help Please.

    Any resolution on this issue. Please advise as I am having the same problem when upgrading from Windows 7 to 8 on my X230T (3434cto)

  • Safari is no longer working after windows update I think

    What do I need to provide for you guys to troubleshoot this?
    Before doing a list of 28 updates of Windows I tested out some amount of programs.
    Including all browers but Safarai due to me not using this brower that much. I had forgot it!!! **** me. Cause now I'm unsure if this program even worked before I did the update.
    So what should I do?
    I launch it and nothing happens.

    Best to read this >  Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
    You're better off using IE or Chrome.

  • Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

    Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
    Summary :
    We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
    i.e
    Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
    All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e    SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
    used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7. 
    Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
    Did this issue occur with Office files?
    I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
    And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
    Thanks,

  • Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • Headphones no longer work after ios8 update to Iphone 5

    My plug in head phones no longer work after updating to IOS8.  I thought it was the head phones and bought new ones - they don't work either.  I updated my iPad and both head phones work.  Phone is IPhone 5 - not due for an upgrade until December.  Any suggestions?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

  • HP OMEN Control Software No Longer Works After Windows 10 Upgrade

    HP OMEN Control no longer works after the recent Windows 10 update. Profile switching, keyboard LED colors, zones, fn key options, etc. no longer respond at all. I've found references to this issue during Windows 10 beta testing. Is there a temporary workaround? Will there be a driver update to remedy this problem? Thanks.

    I just purchased a new 2015 refurbished PC.  It worked great with Windows 8.1.   Upon installing Windows 10, The Omen control did not work as well as the fan.  Really - hardware failure.  Give us a break.  So, I went back to Windows 8.1. Also this year, I purchased an Envy X2.  This PC included a bluetooth keyboard that kept detatching.  Again - REALLY, the keyboard doesn't work.  That's a pretty important part of the PC.  I searched the forum for answers and all I found was the same old line that HP was working on it.  I found meesages over a year old that had this same  problem. So, back it went to Best Buy.  I used to really like HP computers, but now, I can't say that anymore. So, do I trust HP to fix this in a timely manner, NO.  Why - because they had to know about this issue alrady for quite a while.  And, they did not fix it.  I really hope they prove me wrong.!! I will give them 1 more week to fix it.  After that, the PC will be returned.  And HP PCs will be off my scratched off my list, except maybe the HP Spectre X360.  To my amazement, I am even considering a MacBook Pro.  Funny thing - the Spectre X360 is supposed to be a great laptop,  But, Microsoft was heavily involved in the design process.  That is certainly not an HP confidence buider. HP - THIS IS YOUR TIME TO "STEP UP TO THE PLATE" and fix this mess.  TImes like these are opportuniies to win over customers or loose customers to the competiion.  I really want to keep this PC.  It is by your response to this problem that will determine the outcome.

  • Standard PCI to PCI bridge no longer working after BIOS update

    Hey everyone,
    Before I get into the details of what is probably the most frustrating computer problem I have ever faced I would first like to say hello because this is my first post and I give you my system specs.
    Windows 7 ultimate x64
    GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) MOBO
    2x 120GB Mushkin SSD @3.5gbps Raid 0
    AMD Phenom II x4 @2.2 GHZ (Old processor that I replaced)
    AMD Phenom II 1090T x6 @ 3.2GHZ (New processor that replaced the Phenom x4)
    MSI Cyclone GTX 550 TI OC (Nvidia)
    8 Gigs 800mhz DDR2 RAM (Computer Bay)
    I have had a GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) board for several years now and have never had any problems. I recently bought a brand new AMD phenom II x6 1090T processor because it was listed as being supported by my board. The BIOS version that I had installed before purchasing this processor (version F5) was unable to recognize my new processor and boot so I had to update to the latest version (version F7b). After flashing my BIOS with the new version I was able to boot and my computer recognized my processor with the correct name and clock speeds. Unfortunately it now no longer recognizes one of my standard PCI to PCI bridges. Of the two standard PCI to PCI bridges listed in device manager one of them has a yellow exclamation point and reads "error code 35 firmware does not contain enough info to configure this device". I have tried everything I can think of but just cant seem to get my processor and graphics card to work under the same BIOS version. I will now list every step I have taken;
    1.)  I have re-flashed several times between versions F5 and F7b but always get the same results
    2.)  I have used Driver cleaner in safe mode to wipe all drivers and then double checked programs and features to make sure nothing was still installed.
    3.)  I have installed all drivers for the board from Gigabytes website, although when I try to install the VGA driver i get an error saying that no device could be found that supports the driver.
    4.) I once again wiped everything in safe mode and then found the latest chipset drivers for nvidia Nforce from NVidia's site but got the same results.
    5.) I tried downloading the F7b BIOS from some random website  just in case the file from Gigabyte was somehow broken but this did not change anything. (I know that's generally a bad idea but I am desperate)
    6.) I uninstalled the problem standard PCI to PCI bridge in device manager and restarted my computer but got the same results.
    7.) I tried installing my graphics card drivers from MSI but got an error saying that no supported hardware could be found.
    8.) I tried installing a number of different versions of the Nvidia graphics card drivers for my series but kept getting that same error message
    9.) I downloaded the Graphics card detector program that NVidia provides on their site but it told me that it could not detect my graphics card.
    10.) I tried Flashing my BIOS to the F6 version for the rev 1.3 board but this turned out to be a huge mistake because my computer would no longer post after this and I had to use a FAT32 flash drive and the q-flash utility to bring it back to life.
    11.) I checked over and over and over again that my BIOS settings were right and nothing was setup to only use on-board graphics.
    12.) I tried downloading a driver that was supposedly for the PCI to PCI bridge but im fairly sure this was just a trojan because the install did not complete and I found tons of fun plugins installed afterwards (I reformatted shortly after this).
    13.) I made sure that my new processor was plugged in and that my BIOS was version F7b and then completely wiped my hard drive and re-installed windows 7 ultimate x64 but got the same results.
    14.) I made a bootable DOS flash drive and tried updating my Graphics card BIOS but found that I already have the latest version.
    What I don't understand is that my graphics card works perfectly with BIOS version F5 and my processor works perfectly with BIOS version F7b but under no circumstance do they both work at the same time. It may be worth noting that with version F7b installed I am still able to use my graphics card ( my Monitor is plugged into it via DVI) It just gives me the error under device manager and I can not install any drivers. 
    If anyone out there can help me I will be insanely grateful and will refer to you from then on as the master of all things MSI. I'm at my wits end,  If you need any further info just ask and I will provide.

    Ah ok I was afraid you were going to say that. I will take this to gigabyte then but just so I know, This PCI to PCI bridge problem couldn't have anything to do with my MSI graphics card BIOS somehow not being compatible with the Gigabyte BIOS?
    -Thank you!

  • HP OfficeJet 6500A fax no longer works after Mavericks update

    After updating to Mavericks and installing the HP software drivers, the fax component no longer works.  I installed the fax part of the update, and when I print to fax, instead of triggering the machine to dial a number like it did in Mountain Lion, the printer prints out garbage text.  There's no relevant support page on HP's website about this issue.  Anyone got their HP fax to work via print to fax from their Mac?

    Hello Peter,
    It sounds like you are not able to fax from your HP OfficeJet 6500A.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Additional Information
    Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.  For more details, see this article.

  • IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

    I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
    I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
    After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
    "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
    Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
    Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
    I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
    This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
    I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
    Suggestions ?
