T400: System Update = Corrupt windows system files

I have tried to make a fresh Windows 7 installation, but after installing updates via Lenovo System Update the system gets corrupt.
I replaced the hard drive on an T400 and loaded a image that I had on to the drive.
After a installing a few updates and program I noticed strange system beaver. So I did a system file check and it came back that files was corrupt and cold not be repaired.
So I did a new fresh Windows install. But it to became corrupt after just running Windows Update and Lenovo System Update.
So I ran some hard drive and memory diagnostic without find and problems.
Then I did a new Windows 7 install again. After I installed all recommended updates from Windows Update I did a system file check, all OK. The I installed Lenovo System Update and all its recommended updates and did a new system file check, Windows system files corrupt.
Any one exercising similar problem or have any Ideas what Lenovo update is destroying the system?

Are you sure you have a sound/healthy installation media?
I have Win7 Ultimate in three T400, a T400s, (plus three T500, two W500 and two X200s, just to name the Thinkpads of the same generation). Never had a problem with Lenovo System Update.
But in my case I first install PowerManagement only, then run Windows Update until Windows is fully updated and as a final step I run Lenovo System update. Worked as a charm so far...

Firefox 26.0 update corrupts windows system files

I updated firefox mid-December 2013 on a pc running Windows 7. Everything was fine until I shut down. Windows would not start. Safe mode would not start. We eventually found that there were corrupt system files. We fixed those, uninstalled the firefox update and everything was fine. At that time I was not certain firefox was the source of the problem because I had installed other updates and programs.
I just updated to firefox 26.0 (no other changes made), shut down, and couldn't launch windows. Uninstalled the update and fixing my sytem again.

Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
Thanks!!

Kappy,
No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

Every time my system updates I get system extension error messages.

Every time my system updates I get system extension error messges. It reads that certain extensions could not be loaded/used which seems to be an apple issue. Unfortunately, unless you have apple care there is no way to contact them. I am on LION and my updates are current. Is anyone else having this issue?

A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.

T40 missing or corrupted \windows\system file after recovery process

My T40 Thinkpad had a corrupt drive so I secured the recovery disks from IBM to rebuild the hard disk. The recovery process seemed to work well, but when completed and prompted to remove all disks and reboot, the system booted and failed before Windows XP loaded with an error message that the windows\system file was corrupt or missing. Any recommendations on how to succesfully recover? Thanks.

boot off the WinXP Disc and run a repair. Did it mention the boot.ini file being corrupt, or something else?

ThinkVantage System Update 4, Windows 7 x64, and LAN repository are failing with T410 laptops

I've been using TVSU/TVUR for a few years and they're excellent tools. Life would be much harder without them.
Recently I acquired some ThinkPad T410's with Windows 7. As usual, I applied an existing Windows 7 image (from a T400), and ran TVSU. Group Policy settings populate the TVSU reg keys with the UNC path to the update repository on my LAN. So far so good.
Now things get weird. TVSU asks for a username and password when first connecting to the repository at \\servername\sharename\path. That shouldn't be necessary - I can browse that path as the logged-in domain user.
No matter what I put in the username/password prompt, whether I hit OK or cancel, TVSU proceeds to scan the directories in \\srvername\sharename\path for relevant updates.
Once it finds 15 updates, I select them. Clicking on the "details" option for any updates brings up an empty window, no text. If I try to download updates, it starts chugging along and quickly finishes, reporting "15 packages did not download".
I don't have this problem with other Win 7 x64 T400's, or other laptops running other OS's. I don't think the repository is corrupt, since other systems can download and install updates.
Where do I go from here?
dcsln

Here's the interesting part, near the end, of the tvsu log on another T410 with the same symptoms after tagging two updates for download, and failing to download both:

System Update Problems - Windows XP 64bit with SP2

Hi,
I have been Googling away but can't seem to fix my error when running System Update 3.14 on Windows XP 64bit with SP2. I keep getting the following error at 9-10%:
"An error occurred while gathering user information"
Has anyone managed to get this working on this OS?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and also uninstalling .NET 3.5 but nothing has worked.
Thanks.

Hi,
x64 Bit XP is not supported by TVSU, so I really doubt, that there is an official fix for this one.
Cheers

System update makes Windows 7 on both T440s and E531 not starting up

I install windows 7 on both a Lenovo E531 and a Lenovo T440s and afterwards install system update. The first time system update ask me to restart, Windows wont start up again, It reach the Windows logo and then turn black where only the mouse shows. Does system update have problems or is it one of the drivers already installed which colide with system update?

Your problem is with MSVCR100.dll. Google this as there are several hits on how to correct problem. Here is one. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5402850

T440S system update and window 8.1

When I click the system update, it prompt me "An error occured while gathering user information" and stop.
What can I do to fix it? Thanks.

Because the method you have to use is:
System.getProperty("property_name");
Hope it's been useful for you.

System.ArithmeticException by Windows.System.Display.DisplayRequest.RequestRelease()

Could anyone shed some light on whey Windows.System.Display.DisplayRequest.RequestRelease()
occasionally throws System.ArithmeticException?
The error message is: Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation.
Hong

Hello,
I think we will need a lot more information to be able to really help you. A dump file would be a good place to start.
That said my first guess is that the internal reference counter is underflowing because you have more releases than requests. I would start by instrumenting your code and making sure you have exactly the same number of requests as you do releases.
I hope this helps,

Final cut update corrupted my data files

I downloaded the new update to Final Cut X
.. everythinng was working fine before this download... and I thought it was working fine after it.. i edited a video.. and it was working fine.. but when I went to export it.. it wouldn't export. I clicked on Youtube.. and nothing happened... i couldn't see anything working.
So i went to export it as a master file to see if that would work... and then it told me I had to update old files to make things work.. and it then told me i have corrupted files ( 2 of them)... I tried to just delete them but it won't let me..
So i tried to contact Apple... and the Final Cut support team wants $800 to answer questions.. or $100 per question. For a $299 program? .. seriously?
anyway..
I can't delete these files.. can't fix things.. i went to the Library folder and reset the preferences and still nothing works.. it now just says FInal cut is shutting down because to maintain the integrity of other files..
does anyboidy know what to do?
I don't exactly want to have to spend $800 for a problem that APPLE created with their download. They created the problem and they won't fix it. I find that incredibly arrogant. If their download created the problem shouldn't they help fix the problem?
in any case.. anyone have a solution ?

If a hard drive is corrupted shouldn't it have problems with other files too? All the other files are there on the hard drive and work fine...
No, actually not. That is exactly what is seen again and again and again when the HD index becomes corrupted!
I have seen people wonder 'where did that file go.. oh, I will find it latter...' and a [day|week|month] latter, the complete disk is useles.
If you are VERY lucky, Disk Utility will try to fix it, but it might only do so. The problem with D.U. is that it tries to repair the current index, not rebuild it.
Only tool I have ever found to be able to do so, is DiskWarrior.
And to my knowledge, FCPX does not have any rutines to delete the files during the update! It will ask to update the Event & Project files, but that is only the XML files, not the media files!
This screems: BACKUP NOW and do NOT write any other file to the disk! That is, if you have anything valuable on the disk...

Mac-formatted ipod software updated under windows - all files vanished

Hi.
I just accidentally upadted my iPod Software under windows, but I have a Mac-formatted iPod. Now I can't find any of my files anymore., even though the ipod is still filled with 27 GB of data. Is there any way to reverse this and get my files back or do I have to restore the ipod and thus erase everything? any suggestions would be appreciated...
cheers,
Colt

Hello all, I figured I'd join in.....sorry, no help here, I am also looking for an answer. I too have a 5G 60GB and it was formatted for Mac, I tried accessing it through xplay2 in Itunes and accidently updated it (Windows XP.) Now it just runs in a continuous loop of rebooting itself, most likely until the battery dies???....doesn't look good for the home team... any beta would be appreciated.
thanx dr

Hi i've a pc where i installed arch linux more than one year ago

192mb ram
2 harddrives (don't know if i use them as a lvm or if each consists of 2 partitions used as mountpoints)

Software Update corrupted my personal files

On my G4 at home, I have 3 hard drives each with 2 partitions. On one drive, I have 10.4.10, another has 10.3.9, and the third (original) has 10.1.8 and OS 9.2.2. On July 22, my 10.4 system was getting slow, so I booted into the 10.3.9 system (which hadn't been used since it was last de-fragmented several months ago) to de-fragment the disk. Before I could do that, Software Update announced that there were 4 updates: iTunes and 3 security updates. iTunes and 2 of the 3 security updates downloaded, but the third one got a red button & said it could not be installed on this machine. I then hit the (required) restart button. The machine crashed hard & wouldn't re-boot even in OS-9 on any disk, & the DVD drive failed also. I finally got it to run the UNIX fsck program under Single User mode, then it re-started on 10.3.9. To my chagrin, most of my personal files stored on one of the non-bootable partitions & backed up to another non-bootable partition) were corrupted irrevocably. Anybody else ever heard of a problem like this?

Starman35:
Whatever the cause of the meltdown, you have just demonstrated the argument against backing up on the same HDD on which you are storing the data you are backing up. If the HDD fails or crashes, so does your backup.
As to why this happened it is difficult to say. What was the third update that could not be downloaded? The download, installation and optimization go all the way before you restarted, or did you restart midway through the process?
Good luck.

HT201070 Why does this update corrupt Nikon NEF files?

Per earlier discussions, I reinstalled 4.07 and rebuilt everything. It appears that both Nikon D90 and D7000 Nef's are affected yielding a magenta screen when the thumbnail is clicked and opens in any window.
Will the next RAW update remedy this problem?
I am using a new iMac and it came with Mountain Lion and all updates have always been installed.
Please advise.

What for Apple to issue a fix for this. Until then keep using Raw Camera bundle 4.07
