Vista SP1 took out my system

Just over 3 weeks ago (I have been trying to get a solution ever since) I awoke to my new Lenovo 9868 A12, rebooting itself. and rebootin and rebooting...and so on and on. It received the Vista SP1 from Microsoft at 3AM, downloaded it and installed it but there was a major GLITCH. seems the 3rd part of the download was trying to install but needed to reboot and that is where things went south. I tried to use the Lenova ThinkVantage to repair. It didn't work. So I looked all over this site for a patch or someone else with this problem. No go. So I wrote Microsoft Support Team and after bout 10 days they sent me an apology and said one of their Techs would contact me real soon. Yesterday I got Ray, who again apologized for the long delay. He confirmed my problem "after the Windows Vista SP1 installation failure, the system kept rebooting. In addition, the recovery disk cannot repair the system." He expressed how disappointed I must be.. and that he would do all he could to help me. he asked me to do A system restore. I tried but the system restore was only available for that Windows update SP1. I rebooted in WinRE, I thought.Then he went on to install the Windows Vista DVD. I have a pre-installed OS. It was supposed to be in the recovery disks, I thought. Once this failed I got to a point where I could erase all that had been done and it was supposed to put it back to factory default. Well the system does'nt keep rebooting anymore and I now hav No OS. So I tried the recovery disks again. I booted with the system Rescue and Recovery Startup Disk. Things were going pretty good, until it said it did not recognize the disk in drive as the OS disk. So all those recovery disks did me no help. Now I have a Lenovo computer with no OS. I even tried to put XP on it but it fails to recognize the SATA drive. Is there help for me out there or has this become an expensive doorstop. Thankyou for any help you can give me.

Other than you I have had no contact from the Forum..IBM in Georgia sent me recovery discs overnight to me here in BC canada..I am in the middle of recovery now and hopefully by tomorrow I will see what happens if the Vista SP1 is installed..on the Lenovo homepage I went through a very long process (but well worth it) of registering for help via Submit a request.. it was one of the links on the left side of the lenovo homepage..I received a long distance phonecall..which I did request, the very next day..that was tuesday and today I have the computer back to factory default and am just doing updates..however I started with Lenovo updates first..I will try the microsoft ones tomorrow..hope this helps you.

TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out on Vista SP1 OS

Hi everyone,
I am starting to play with Oracle DB recnetly..
today I have TNS connection failed issue.
When I tried to use ODBC to connect Oracle XE DB, I got ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out.
Here is basic info:
OS:Vista SP1
Oracle Version:Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
I can connect Oracle DB by http://localhost:8080/apex and sqlpus.
and check - telnet ellen.test.net 1521, it is working.
I have no idea why my TNS connection got timeout issue.
Did someone encounter the same issue before?
Thanks for any input in advance.

Is it related?I can not say it is related with 100% certainty.
You can conclude I had a REALLY lucky guess or there is high correlation between VM & having TNS-12535 error.
It is your system & you are free to (ab)use it any way you choose to do so.
We both know SQL*Net can & does work as advertised, but requires a properly configured OS & Network underneath it.

Error 1935 - unable to install Reader 8.1.2 on Vista SP1

I know that others have posted on this issue, but neither of the suggested fixes have worked for me. The 'fsutil' command prompt had no effect, and Ghaurav's suggestion of defeating the uninstall by copying all the files from the directory and replacing them resulted in an 'invalid plugin' error every time I tried to start Reader.
Is anyone from Adobe monitoring this forum? Any others out there having this problem, or have a fix?

OK, the final chapter. Microsoft tech support had me run a system file checker utility. The command line is 'sfc /scannow'. The utility reported that I had corrupt system files, but I still have no idea how that happened. I was unable to roll back the installation of Vista SP1, so I ended up reinstalling Vista (and every other program I have) from scratch. It took a full day of installing, upgrading restoring my backed up files, but I ended up with a clean version of Vista SP1, and the adobe problem is gone.
Does this story have a happy ending? No. I decided to run SFC on my laptops. I have corrupt system files on my office laptop, and it's interfering with installing XP SP3. No other symptoms, so I'll ignore XP SP3 for as long as I can.

QT 7.5 update - Apple S/W/U license window corrupt thru Vista(SP1)

FYI (6/10/08)
Attempted to use Apple Software Update on a Vista(SP1) machine to get QT 7.5 update and at 'License' window...corrupt(squares/symbols) characters are displayed. Appears to be displayed in a foreign language set. No problem w/Vista prior interface w/Apple S/W/U software.
Solution:
Went to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
and downloaded the QT 7.5 update from there. The 'License' window appeared in English as expected. Install overwrite worked fine and all appears normal.
So the d/l via Apple S/W/U might have a glitch with Vista(SP1). Note: On a separate XP(SP3) machine the QT 7.5 update had no problem at the 'License' window step. Used same DSL connection for both(XP & Vista) interfaces w/Apple S/W/U software.
Maybe something to do w/the Apple S/W/U software not acting nicely w/Vista SP1? Just guessing here...any other Vista machines(non SP1) seeing this same glitch?

Okay, have heard back from North Carolina re:

Helen didn't see this when doing the standalone QT 7.5 update via ASU 2.1.0.110 on the Vista SP1 box. (Uninstalled existing iTunes and QuickTime on the PC, ran ASU, and then ran the QT 7.5 install available in ASU 2.1.0.110.)
Plausibly, it might be an issue with the ASU on your Vista box (transitory or otherwise). But the possibility of a bug that is manifesting just on some systems certainly hasn't been ruled out by Helen's experience. It'll be interesting to see if we get any other reports one way or the other on the topic.

Vista SP1 - Old Conexant HD Audio drivers

Windows Update didn't offer me the option of installing Vista SP1 on my Lenovo 3000 v200 (0764-33G) whereas it appeared on other machines. I checked all the driver versions as per the following page:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=948343#method5
It seems that the only old driver out of those listed on the page and installed on this machine is the following:
Conexant HD Audio version 4.19.1.0
I have checked for a newer driver on both Lenovo's support page and through Lenovo System Update but haven't found any. Does anyone know if there's an updated version of this driver anywhere, and if not, when is a newer version expected to be released through Lenovo System Update?
Thank you.

I have the same problem with drivers for Authentec fingerprint reader on my N200 0769-BRG. Are there any updates planned to support Vista SP1 ?

Vista SP1 Acrobat 8 Pro Freezing

I've had this issue ever since I installed Vista SP1 on my PC. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated Acrobat 8 Pro to 8.1.2 - the latest update. As soon as I open the program I have about 5 seconds until it freezes on me, similar to how it did right after Vista came out (before 8.1 update). I've checked my system and I have nothing running that would conflict with it running, other than SP1. I am running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great!!!!

Hi Errol,
I share your frustration -
There seems to be a really long thread about this a little further down the topic list.
The problem is that I've spent an hour looking at msgs - finally started at the end (where the topic was XP(!) even tho started out Vista).
Here's a promising link I found somewhere about the middle. The computer I'm having trouble with is at work (and I'm at home on spring break) so I don't know if it will help.
My BIGGEST frustration is that I've been poking around the Adobe site since last November and NEVER found this download!!
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3750
Good luck to both of us!

Deleting files out of system preferences desktop background.

Does anyone know how to delete files out of system preferences>desktop & screen saver?
Some how when adding one photo to the file for the desktop background it took the entire photo file. So that instead of one photo for the file it has over 200 now. Read everything and tried everything. Still can't figure out how to delete that file from the list.
I know how to add photos or whatever to use as desktop background just no idea how to remove them from the list.
Any ideas?

Doug,
When you go to system preferences>desktop & screen savers>desktop. On the left is a window with the names of the images listed. Apple Images, Nature file, Plants file, Picture Folder, Choose Folder and so forth. The ones that come with Apple products. Not sure what all else is native to Apple.
Iv been using my own desktop background since the day I got the iBook. Normally I just get one photo or image and more it there to use. But, last week I did something different or wrong. Maybe holding a button to long, not sure. Instead of moving the one photo it moved the entire photo file. That file had over 200 (2,500x1,800 in size & over 550KB for each) and probably closer to 250 photos in it.
Way to many to be there. And I simply can't find a way to remove that file from the desktop list. I can high light it, but it doesn't delete with the delete button. I can high light it, but it doesn't change anything in system preferences banner to edit, view, etc....to remove it either. It won't click & drag to trash.
Being very careful because I don't want to delete the file and by error delete it totally off the computer. I could creat a new file with only 1 photo in it for use as the desktop background. Then try to choose that file. However, since the last big OS-X update it's been doing this. Everytime I choose a file or photo it's adding the entire file not just the 1 photo. And Iv managed to add 3 files so far to that list.
Any ideas? Thx, Mike

Safari 3.04 Beta and Windows Vista SP1 Beta

I recently had to re-install my system because of a hardware problem. After I installed Vista Ultimate I then installed Vista Ultimate SP1 Beta.
Previously I had just Windows Vista installed without SP1 and Safari worked. Now that I have installed SP1 Beta, Safari will not load. I get an immediate error message that Safari has stopped working.
Has anyone else encountered this problem. If so, can it be fixed?
Thanks.
Roy

Exactly the same issue here. All was working fine until Vista SP1 beta was installed. I updated from 3.03 to 3.04 but still no go. Also tried uninstalling then reinstalling to no avail.
Apart from this have not seen any other issues relating to Vista SP1 Beta.

PC SUITE 6.86.9.3 Vista SP1 Crash

Hello I really like the new look of the PC Suite, but I have a problem ... I recently installed SP1 for Vista. I have Nokia N70 ME and its was paired with my Sony VAIO VGN-CR190 over bluetooth. I had no problems with the previous version of PC Suite (6.84) and Vista SP1. My bluetooth stack is Toshiba v. 5.10.04(SO).
The problem comes when I pair my phone over bluetooth and I try to access it I am getting an error. Here is the log from the Windows Event Viewer:

I have the same problem, and the funny thing is, the Bluetooth dongle works fine with my old Sony Ericson phone. So the problem must be the Nokia Suite?

TV tuner cannot be used in Vista SP1 - Qosmio G

Hi
I have installed the Vista SP1, and when I try to see TV in media center, it says that "a required windows media center component is missing" or something like that.
When I try to configure it in the settings, it says that the hardware was not detected, and I have it installed, I can see that in the device manager.
Does some one have the same problem or have any ideas about how can I solve this?
Thanks,
Rafael

Hi
I have googled a little bit to find out what this error message could mean but it looks like this error is not specific.
This mean that different reasons could causes this issue
In you case I presume that the SP1 is not fully compatible with the TV tuner driver or the TV tuner does not work and could be recognized by MCE due to the tuner driver malfunction.
Sp my first advice would be the Tv tuner reinstallation.
Firstly remove the old driver from the device manager and then after a short reboot install the new downloaded driver.
Good luck

Dv2000 Vista sp1 external sound

Recently upgraded Vista to SP1 and since then the external headphone/speaker jacks do not operate properly. I can hear Test sounds through Headphones but the Internal speakers do not cut out when external devices plugged in. If playing dvd via Quickplay there is no sound from the external jacks at all.
Sound Driver for Conexant HD2 updated to 4.36.7.61
dv2000, T2130, Vista SP1 32-bit, 1MB, 120GB

Tis very sad and poor situation then.. I hadn't bothered checking how well my onboard mobo sound was like(I mean it works fine in XP, but I obviously I used the X-Fi as the default sound device... Right now I've gone back and set the XP install as default partition to boot, can't be doing with so many of Fista's poor issues ontop of creatives sound drivers ..
but onboard is nForce Audio.. anyone know if onboard audio with nvidia's drivers work better
and what new soundcard does creative have out that does suppose Vista 00% effienciently, better than the x-fi cards .. just noticed MS is further changing(plucking up) the audio stack with extra useless stuff.. And with creatives current track record it would be absolutly stupid to buy any audio hardware from them seeing MS couldn't get get Win7 kicked out the door soon enough to replace Fista.
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charl...-capabilities/
just how well would any of creatives current new sound cards qualify for Win7 after listening to that.. just can't believe Audiodg.exe takes up so much cpu% and now they are trying to add more useless noob features...
I don't want to complelty blame creative on this because quite frankly I wouldn't put it past MS to make stupid changes and expect every hardware maker to follow suit...its what they do and they really don't get enough flak for it tbh.

Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?

The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

Officially...No: http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/specs.html
In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

Strange sign in Vista SP1 folders

Dear friends
I use Vista+SP1 and so far everything seems to be ok, but I notice something strange when I open the windows explorer
In some folders,not in all, like <<Local settings, for instance,I see a small sign under this folder and when I try to open it
I get the error <<C:\ Users\ Local Setings is not accessibleAccess is denied>>, like to be locked for some reason, this happens not from the beginning.
I mean when I installed the Vista but after some time of use.
I susspect that needs some adjustment somewhere, but I don't know where.If anybody can help.
Thanks in advance

No, this is just a normal behaviour of Vista due to its semi new file system, or better how it handles some folders and files.
As an information for you, this folder has the shortcut symbol on it, I think you meant this?
And that's because of Vista's file and folder linking, or whatever I should call it now.
So, lean back, all's right with the world ;)

Vista SP1 - CF Service will not start

Running Vista Business. Life was good, I was productive! (CF 8 btw).
After installing Vista SP1, CF service will not start. Digging a little deeper, turns out JRUN can't fire off "coldfusion", one of the servers listed. Here is the error:
04/06 11:49:20 error Failed to create new connection
java.net.SocketException: select failed
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)

at jrun.jms.core.kernel.mipc.MultiplexConnectionServer.run(MultiplexConnectionServer.java:15 4)
Some digging turned up the possiblity that the jndi.properties file isn't being read. Changed permissions on it to let everyone in. Heck, you guys can probably get at it right now form where you are its so open!
More digging, turns out Windows Firewall like to block port 2930, which is apparently used for internal communication with jndi settings or some such. Opened that up. Found evidence of further internal communication on port 900, opened that up to.
Found this very useful and a bit scary info about missing DLLs and so forth:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=6&cid=224AA
Found reference to the updated Vista TCP/IP stack being a culprit in some cases, which often seemed to come down to, get this, a new host file entry for localhost: ::1 localhost. Commented that out, still no joy.
Tried reinstalling. Still no go.
Pretty much exhausted all possibilities I was able to think of or find info about.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Or, failing that, the address of a tall building to jump off? Thanks!

Read the manual?!?! No way, never! That would be like... stopping at a gas station to ask for directions!
But seriously, I did poke around there a bit. I do tend to forget that there is more to there is more there than the language reference.
Never been stuck like this though. Probably done over 100 installs dating back to CF4 on just about all windows flavors but have never had to dig in to the guts of the underlying Java like this.
Thinking it has to be something unique to this machine; I have done other Vista installs of CF8 with only minimal issues (typically having to set the service to run under an account that has permissions, maybe even set jrun.exe and jrunsvc.exe to execute under an admin account, but thats about it). Unfortunately, partially because of the environment we operate in, a fresh workstation install is a good day and half to two day ordeal.
Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

Vista SP1 took out my system
