Vista updates corrupts files

I am having a continuing problem with Microsoft updates.  I have had to reload the oprating 6 times in the last year because MS updates corrupt the file system.  It is impossible to run chkdisk because it too gets corrupted.  Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, is there any way around it?
I'm about to give up on Vista because of this problem and go back to XP.   Any advice?

Avoid Service pack 1 of Vista. Update all lenovo thinkvantage softwares first.

  • Ok! so i tried updating my ipad 2 software to I.O.S 6.1 and it failed then continued to shut down and put the plug into itunes logo on my screen! I then i have been trying to update and restore my Ipad 2, then it says corrupt file and stops any advice?

    This is ridiculous!!!!! Apple Corporation needs to fix what ever went wrong with IOS 6.1 update and they better do it soon or theyre going to have a mob on their hands!! i have been continuosly restoring and updating my iPad 2 and it always says corrupt file then restarts the whole process! im going out of my mind and im about to say to **** with it and call apple themselves and make so many complaints that theyll fix it within the hour or i will go to new york city at the head of the corporation and make the most skeptical and most embarrissing seen that they will end up ashamed to even be working for a company with the supposedly "SMARTEST AND BRIGHTEST TECHNOLOGICAL PEOPLE IN THE U.S." who cant even get a software update correct so that it doesnt make some of our lives harder then they need to be! and if its already known to be corrupt then should take it off the whatever update liost and fix it before anyone else has to go what ive gone through, cause its pure torcher!! i paid good money for a product for easy use whenever and thats not what im getting when they cant even make a simple update thats supposed to help but only makes my product worse and make me wanna never buy from them again!

  • Corrupt file problems installing latest Flash on Windows Vista - help please?!

    When trying to install the latest Flash on my Windows Vista (I'm not great with computers so more than the internet system I use I'm not sure what other details are necessary), I keep getting the message "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe - Corrupt File. File or directory C:\$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility." As I have no idea what the Chkdsk utility is, or how to run it, can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? Apparently I have Flash Player installed on my computer, but not the plug-in necessary to play media files on the internet. What do I need to do to fix this?

    This Microsoft help document should walk you through the steps of using Chkdsk to scan (and repair) your hard drive.

  • 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 ?

    ...Isn't it funny how the hard drive worked fine before and after the conversion the only files that magically disappeared were the ones that went through this conversion process. 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...

  • Corrupt file during progam update

    Last night I was told to update my programs (I had been told to do so for about two weeks but last night I finally got around to doing it). When I restarted my computer, it was completely reverted back to the very first time I used it...it was stripped to bare basics. Fortunately, I found all my files buried in my hard drive. I lost all my pictures though.
    My point, how can I know if I have a corrupt file before updating my computer so this won't happen again and so I don't have to spend 3 hours rebuilding my entire computer? It just seems so inconvenient to update my computer now if I risk having to rebuild it every time. Is there a program I can use (or get) that locates corrupt files--also for viruses?
    Thanks!

    Check and be sure this didn't happen.

    You should also always repair permissions on the drive after installing an update.

  • Finding corrupt file in an Windows 8.1 Update installation

    Hi
    I would like to know if, with
    Windows 8.1 Update, there is a
    way to know if its installation has
    some of its corrupt file?
    Thanks
    Bye
    Balubeto

    Usually after update been download, it will be checked for file integrity before it install and if there is any error it will notify you and after installation, it will also notify you if something went wrong.
    However, you may run sfc /scannow command to check whether your Windows files are corrupted or not.
    You should run the comm and in command prompt as administrator.
    In which Windows mode is
    better to run this command?
    Thanks

  • When I try to update firefox to the latest version, it comes up with a corrupt file error and won't install. Same for adobe flash player.

    It seems that as of yesterday 05/10/13, anything that is downloaded will not install. Tried updating to the latest version of firefox, but that give the error of corrupt files.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
    *browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • HT4623 i get a corrupt file error when trying to update to ios7 anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

    If you're doing it over the air, try updating through iTunes.

  • HT3831 i tried to update my iphone 4 and i am getting a message that i am getting corrupt files or check settings on phone what do i check

    i am trying to updating my system and when i do it says something about corrupt files or check phone settings does anyone know about this

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • Corrupt file downloading latest ios update

    I tried downloading the latest ios7 for my ipad and iphone and am getting an error message for a corrupt file.  same when I do the internet download for my iphone.  Any ideas?

    No, that is not normal at all. First try a reset and see if the update finishes. I have my doubts, but it will not hurt to try. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen again, then let go of the buttons.
    IF that doesn't jog the update into completing, you will have to restore your iPad using iTunes and you will need to use recovery mode.

    I downloaded QuickBill 2009 program and it will not load.  The service report says it has a corrupt file or it did not load correctly.  The report gave this site to get the correct file. So how do I download the file, to access the program I want to use?
