Unable to boot up after driver update on X200 - please help!!

When I boot up now my screen goes to "Windows XP," then  hangs on a blank blue screen (not BSD) - won't go any further.  Scoured other forums and have not found a solution - tried:
1. Disabling VT-d in BIOS
2. Loading defaults in BIOS
3, boot into diagnostics from BIOS
4. Removed primary battery *have not yet tried removing backup battery)
How do I boot windows XP in safe mode using this computer?
Also tried F11 *disk doctor" - it would not launch.
This all happened as I was configuring my system today for the first time (relatively new system) and performed many driver updates - did this one by one and things were going fine.  Then, I discovered the ThinkPad System Update package - installed this and then it scanned automatically for driver updates - I did three at once (I think one was finger print reader drive, one AMT 4.2, and the other some Microsoft hotfix) - after this, no starting up.  I know there's a BIOS update to do (3.11 - I have 3.10) and I have created the boot CD for this though don;t have my base station/CD with me so I have to wait to try this until tomorrow.
Any ideas?  Please help - this is insane, and I am kicking myself as I knew I should have kept doing these one by one and I also need a good imaging program to create images after each successful update so I could just roll back on an unsuccessful one - is there a "SuperDuper!" imaging program for Windows ("SuperDuper! Is the one I use for Mac)?
Thank you.   

Nvidia's official site. I don't know if I am allowed to send links on this site so I am not going to do that.
Anyway, I tried to contacted the apple on 16'th and just got a response a few minutes ago.Unfortunately then I had to reinstall my mountain lion all over again by recovery. Well, I lost many stuff but 'Hey! Mountain Lion got much faster for some reason so, I'm not complaining.
Thank you for your reply.

    I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
    until I updated him from  SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
    2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
    ..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD  and the APPLE  MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
    I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
    That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
    I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
    I  asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
    When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth   ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)
    Under Hardware/ Diagnose : Selbsttest beim Einschalten: zuletzt ausgeführt: 15.05. 14, Ergebnis: Bestanden (that means OK) !!
    I asked many Peaple, who sold APPLE-Computers in the STORS, but they all had no IDEA, how they can help.
    I think, it could be a DRIVER when Starting the BIOS, JAVA RUNTIME a.s.o...
    Is an Expert under YOU to help me by my Problem with this iMAC ?

    dietmarfromdeu,
    if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

    Try unsyncing the sone and then resyncing. That works sometimes. Sometimes restoring from backup works. Other times nothing seems to work.. Yuo are not alone since iOS5 and iTunes 10.5/6.

    Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it very much...

  • Unable to Log In After Software Update

    Hello:
    After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
    I found the following support article:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
    Article: TS1543
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
    However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
    delete Invalid Path
    <dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
    This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
    This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
    Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
    If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks! I think a week would have gone by before I realized this on my own.

  • Xperia z wont boot up after crash update

    Xperia tablet Z won't boot up after latest update, the update crashed half way through. Tried plugging it into the mains, red light comes on and Sony logo keeps appearing and then the screen goes blank.
    Red light also keeps going off when screen goes blank, then comes back on.
    Battery was approx 75% when update crashed.
    Tried the reset by holding the volume up and power key but no avail.

  • Mic Jack not working after Driver Update, Console unavailable, can't install

    LMic Jack not working after Driver Update, Console unavailable, can't install? I've had nothing but problems after downloading the latest updates via the auto-updater.
    I'm currently using the Creative SB X-Fi Pro Series card. I've had it for close to 6 months and have not had any issues until I ran the auto-updater last night, and while it downloaded over 250Mb of updates, all of them failed to install as described below.
    I'm running on Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit
    My main issue is the fact that my microphone is no longer working. I've done a lot of searching and I think the problem has to do with flexijack not being a microphone jack, but instead is an 'in-line' jack. I can no longer find my audio control console, which allows me to switch between gaming and entertainment modes, ect. The solution I found on the KB says that you can switch the blue jack on the back of the card from an in-line jack to a mic jack within the Audio console. I tried downloading it, but while going through the install, I get an error saying the files could not be found and a prompt which asks for a disk or file location. The same thing pretty much happens with all of the items I attempted to download and install.
    I was able to run console fine, as well as use my mic yesterday before I attempted any updates. I attempted the updates because since I've had the card, I've had issues where after I exit a game, all my sound will become crackly and static. Before, I would simply open up the console and switch back-and-forth from gaming to entertainment, which would fix the problem most of the time. If that didn't work, a restart would fix it, but now I've opened up a whole new set of issues.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I also want to say that the support tickets should not require a serial number to submit a new ticket. My product is registered, so I got rid of the box which contains all that information, leaving me at the mercy of these boards...

    Hello all. Fisrt of all, this are my specs: Yoga 2 pro 13". WiFi card: Intel(R)Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260. I bought it from Best Buy on November 27, 2014. If you aquired your Yoga before this date, you may have the single band WiFi card. As many of you have experienced, I also had a bunch of issues with my WiFi connectivity and this is how I was able to solve it. At least it has been a couple of days that I haven't had any issues. The first symptom was the usual connection drops every X amount of time. For me it was about every 2 hours. I first unchecked the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option in the Power Management tab of device manager and disabled U-APSD support in the Advanced tab of device manager. This action did not solve the problem. I then downloaded and updated the driver from the Intel web site (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect) and this seemed to solve the drops; however, a new problem arised: Everytime my Yoga would wake up from sleeping mode, all my wifi networks were gone and the adapter showed as disabled in Device Manager. I would have to anable it to have my networks back. It was a solution but a pain the butt to have to do this everytime. After hours of reading post after post in several forums, I read a repy from Lenovo asking to try leaving the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" CHECKED if you were using the latest version of the driver. I went back to device manager and checked it back and that seems to have solved the problem. So far I haven't had any drops and everytime my laptop comes back from sleeping mode the WFi connection is still there! Here is a recap of how everything ended up: -The driver version I installed is 17.1.0.19-The driver date is 7/21/2014-In device manager|Advanced, U-APSD support is Disbled.-In device manager|Power Management, "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is checked. Hope this helps somebody else.

  • Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

    DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
    The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
    ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
    Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
    Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
    The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Samsung Galaxy S4 stuck on Verizon boot screen after installing update

    A few days ago my phone prompted me to install a software update, which I did. Since then, the phone (which was functioning perfectly fine before I installed the update) started acting up. I kept getting messages about apps that stopped working, then the phone started randomly rebooting itself, and now it has been stuck on the Verizon Startup screen. After reading several posts on this site I tried the following: (1) remove battery and reboot; (2) try reboot in safety mode keeping the volume button down during start up; (3) empty cache using menu that appears when holding volume button up during reboot; and finally (4) delete all data and restore factory settings (using same method as under (3)). All of this didn't work and I'm still stuck on the same white Verizon screen.
    Of course this happens while I am travelling abroad for 10 days and have no access to Verizon until I'm back. Is there anything I can do that I haven't tried yet? Or is my only option to get a new phone?
    Reading some of the other posts, it seems that more and more people are having the same issue after the latest software update. VERIZON - PLEASE HELP!!!

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
