[T61p] ThinkVantage System Update has encountered a problem and needs to close....

Start System Updater and almost immediately  (at 3% progress) get:
ThinkVantage System Update has encountered a problem and needs to close....
and it just won't run. All I can do is hit close.
 I've removed it from the system, rebooted, cleaned the registry, rebooted,
reinstalled, rebooted and it just continually does this.
The system is totally up to date with Windows XP Pro SP3.
ThinkPad T61p
Mod 6459
Microsoft .NET Framewok 2.0  Ver: 2.1.21022
Any pointers? I'm about ready to drop-kick this thing for distance....
I did a search on it but nothing I saw seemed to fit what I'm seeing

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

  • IPod Universal Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    My daughter dropped her mini yesterday. After resetting I get the file folder with exclamation. So I was going to the next step to try to restore. When I start the updater, I get the message "iPod Universal Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I even tried installing an older version of the updater and get the same message. iTunes and Windows do not recognize the ipod. Ideas?

    The iPod updater is now contained in iTunes version 7 or later. Why not use that?
    Maybe Apple are not hosting the older standalone updaters any longer.

    persistent error flag every day.
    How do i fix this?

    First, this thread should probably be moved to Adobe Flash Player Forums - the error is in regards to the Adobe Flash Player updater.
    What type of information do you need? I have been having the same issue. Windows XP Pro SP3. In Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->Application I have an error with this information:
    Category: (100)
    Event: 1000
    Description: Faulting application FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe, version 11.3.300.265, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.6055, fault address 0x000113b5.
    I also have another error, but I can't tell if it is related:
    Category: None
    Event: 1001
    Description: Fault bucket -1233855520.
    The pop-up error window refers to Flash Player Update version 11.3.300.265 and says "Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close." I am given the option to send the error report, which I have done several times. I have restarted my computer to no avail.
    What other information is needed?
    Edit: The computer receiving this error is my work computer. I leave Firefox running every day when I leave to go home. I am running Firefox version 13.0.1 (will be updating this morning to the newest version of Firefox).

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are

    I get following message:
      Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    How can I solve this?

    People,
    Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
    But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
    It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
    No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
    So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

  • LV 8.6 will Not Compile in LV 2010 - Labview 10.0 Development System Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close

    I submitted this support request to NI on 8/12/2010.
    When I compile my LV 8.6 app in LV2010 I get this error:
    "LabVIEW 10.0 Development System has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I was told to do a "Mass Compile" of my LV 8.6 app in LV2010...this failed too.
    I was then told to go to each and every vi and "Mass Compile" individually...after about the 50th vi this got old quickly...and it still didn't compile.  I then sent NI tech support "my code".  The good news is my LV 8.6 app didn't compile with LV2010 @ NI.
    My LV 8.6 app compiles and runs great in LV 8.6.  I don't want to be left behind with the newer upgrades and I want to move to LV2010.  I have lots of LV8.6 code to maintain and I really don't have the time to debug all of my apps.
    I was told this will be looked @ in LV2010 SP1.
    One note...back up your LV8.6 data before you move to LV2010.  Once your LV8.6 code is compiled in LV2010 you will not be able to go back to LV8.6.
    I restored all of my LV8.6 code and I'm back working with LV8.6.
    It's a tough call, do I stay in LV8.6 and get left behind?
    Do I bite the bullet and try to debug this mess in LV2010?
    I was told the compiler is completely different in LV2010.  That's great, but one reason I have NI Maintenance Agreement is to keep updated with the latest software.  I can't afford to re-compile LV code every few years.  Like most people, maintaining my Apps with customer's revisions, and modifications is enough work.  I don't want more work!
    I was told LV2010 SP1 would likely appear in May or June of 2011.  I'd hate to break out my old Turbo Pascal apps again...but hey...they still work!  My NI maintenance agreement is due this month too, I guess I'll pay NI one more year, and see if they come up with a solution.  But if NI doesn't fix this LV8.6 compile in LV2010 problem...I don't see any value staying current with LV software.
    I found another Bug with LV2010...you are going to love this one!
    There is a new "LV Update Service".  Perfect!  I like updating my LV software when new patches are available.  When I click "update" the update spins over and over "Checking for New Version".  I have let it run ALL day with no results...just sits and spins over and over.
    OK, I know give NI a break!  Yes, LV2010 has a new compiler...and Yes, I will renew my NI maintenance agreement.  I just want NI to know failing to compile just one LV8.6 app in LV2010 is not a good idea for customer relations.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • After updating Firefox it will no longer open and i get the message "firefox.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" end of story.

    Firefox was working well. One day I logged on to use Firefox and was prompted to update my version which I did. After or during the update the following message was given on the screen "firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close". It closed and now every time I click on the firefox icon I get the same message from Microsoft. That is all the information I get. Each time I go to open Firefox I get the same message. There is an error message attached to the Microsoft dialog box, but I don't understand what it means.
    I have sent it to Microsoft but no reply.

    Make sure that you aren't running Firefox in some compatibility mode (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_%28software%29 Rosetta]).

  • Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I have been using Audition 2.0 on this computer for quite some time and suddenly now when I open it, I get the cryptic error dialogue:
    "Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.  For more information about this error, click here."
    When I click for more information, it's something useless like:
    AppName: audition.exe    AppVer: 2.0.5306.2    ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 65726168
    Nothing on my computer has changed.  There are no viruses.  I have not added any new audio plug-ins.  I am completely up to date with all critical Windows XP SP3 updates and none have been downloaded and installed recently anyway.
    I searched the knowledgebase and found a document that suggesting many things to try.  I tried them all, including running the Windows hard disk "check disk" tool with options to fix file system errors and recover bad sectors. I also defragmented the hard drive.  Lastly, I completely uninstalled Audition, then  manually deleted any remaining files, including registry entries as suggested in another knowledgebase article.
    I then re-installed Audition 2.0 and it did exactly the same thing!  This it maddening.  Now it gets even more interesting.  I discovered that if I start up the
    Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit that Adobe Audition installed also, then try to launch Audition from the toolkit, IT STARTS CORRECTLY!  I can then close the toolkit and use it like normal.  Weird work-around.
    What the heck could possibly be going on?  Anyone have any ideas?  I've attached the error log file that is generated by the error but I doubt it will be of much help.
    Thanks!
    Steve in Chicago

    stevefoobar2: I may have found a solution for you.
    I had the same thing happen to me today. I was using Audition 2 this morning without any problems. But this afternoon, it started giving me the exact same error with no apparent reason. Nothing on my system had changed.
    So I uninstalled it and installed Audition 3 in its place. Audition 3 continued to have the same problem that Audition 2 had, so we can assume that this is not something that was changed between versions.
    But my attention was brought to the fact that you and I are both running Windows XP SP3 fully up-to-date. So I thought I'd try seeing it from the angle of a problem with Windows instead of Audition, and see if I didn't get a better result -
    First, I logged on to Windows as Administrator. This may or may not be required, but you'll probably want to do it just in case (you'll see what I mean later). At this point, Audition still crashed the same way when I opened it, so I moved on to my next troubleshooting strategy -
    Instead of opening Audition directly, I right-clicked the Audition icon and selected "Run as..." This may seem odd since I was already logged in as Administrator, but it proved to be the solution in my case.
    In the "Run As" diolog, there are two main options: run as current user, or run as another user.
    Since I was already logged in as Administrator, I could safely select the first option (run as current user). But here's the catch: selecting the first option allowed me to UNcheck the box underneath that says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" (see the attached picture)
    Audition opened without any problems when I did this.
    This makes me think that one of the Windows security features suddenly decided to block something that Audition was trying to do, crashing the program in the process. By turning off this security feature, the problem was solved. And I only had to do it once. Every time afterwards, Audition has opened without any problems when I simply open it from my desktop. Perhaps Windows now remembers not to block Audition in the future.
    However, I have not restarted my computer yet, or logged off as Administrator. You may need to tweak this solution if you plan to do either of these things. You may end up having to "Run as" Audition every time you restart your computer or log off. You may even need to select the SECOND option, and run the program as Administrator with the appropriate password.
    Anyway, this was the only post I could find on Adobe.com concerning this problem, so I thought I'd post my solution in case it helped someone else.
