Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

Hi Jeremy
Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?

Recent Windows 7 update causing monitor sleep problems/Windows loop in some HP desktops?

After perusing this forum, I wonder if there was a recent Windows 7 update that has been causing problems for some HP desktops and displays. My office has a 3500 Microtower desktop running Windows 7 Pro. While Windows 7 Pro is running and in use (as in, not prompted by any user-set power management option), the dual HP displays (via DVI split to VGA) will enter sleep mode ("No Signal", I believe) seemingly randomly/chaotically and without warning. No amount of mouse-waving and keyboard-smashing will wake the displays. The displays will not receive a signal after being turned off then on. Then, not immediately but after some undetermined time, the desktop hard drive light will begin to blink at a consistent 1-second interval (approximate), as though it is stuck in a loop.
My guess, based on both our office's experience and the posts I've read with the same problem (see below for links), is that this update would have become available either November 16 or 17, November 15 at the earliest.
Thank you for your attention to this conundrum!
Aaron
One more piece, not sure if relevant: a user connected remotely in order to monitor the desktop, but detected no problems with the machine. Unfortunately, I was not able to remain with the desktop to see if the displays had shut off at any point during his monitoring.

Hi,
If you think that the issue is related to a recent Windows 7 update then try going back to a known good restore point before the issue occured.

Sec. update causes crash. help using DiskWarrior

hello folks
I updated via Software Update and crashed mightily. I think I'm back up and running now.
1.Used Disk Utility once I booted in Safe Mode.
2.I used Diskwarrior to rebuild the "directory". Is that correct term?
Can someone plz coach me correctly using DiskWarrior to prevent HD problems.I installed the software but I would really like to use it correctly.
Thanks

"Just use it!" DiskWarrior is a great program which does its own thing very well and safely. Macs have an invisible "directory" file which the operating system itself (OS 8.x, 9.x, X v. 10.x.x, etc.) uses for itself to keep track of where it puts every bit of information stored on your hard drive, as a "file" is not stored in one contiguous space necessarily (like a single can on a pantry shelf) but pieces of the file are poked into the convenient spaces wherever on your hard drive. Because it gets changed so often by the operating system, the directory file itself can get fragmented and/or write-errors can occur to it, such that it becomes less than 100% reliable as a road map for your OS. Hence, DiskWarrior. In a couple minutes or so, DW collects all the information to create a brand new directory file, writes it unfragmented to your hard drive, and then erases your old fragmented directory file. (You can also run the "graph" function to see how fragmented is your directory file at any given time. I personally keep my fragmentation level at below 1-2% by running DW whenever it is over that. Consequently, I have not had crashes (as opposed to things freezing up for lack of sufficient memory requiring simply a restart) which are damaging since getting DW years ago.)
Should you ever have a catastrophic problem nonetheless, do not try to use your own computer, as the directory file may get further damaged. Alsoft's tech support is very good about helping using DiskWarrior under such circumstances, so contact them by telephone, or email from a different computer.
You might want to make a backup copy of your DW disk and use it routinely to keep your original disk pristine. When you run DW, you should/must boot up your computer using the DW CD and use the program on the CD. DW cannot rebuild the directory of an active system hard drive (as obviously, the active system's hard drive's directory file is the one needing rebuilding and it itself would be trying to rebuild itself if it were also the boot drive!)

Windows 7 Update caused sound glitch

Hello
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1545.
I recently encountered an issue with my computer where there was some sort of memory leak that was causing constant freeze ups. Also, the sound on on any sort of media (iTunes, Netflix, youtube, etc.) would glitch every 30 seconds or so. By that I mean it
would sound as if the computer was lagging, but it was not always happening at the same times the computer freezing was.
After some research I determined that a Dell wireless driver was causing the memory leak, so I uninstalled it and the computer was no longer freezing up. However, the sound issue was still occuring. After a few days of great frustration, I decided to just
reformat my computer. The sound was working fine after the reformat, but then I installed all of the Windows updates and it is glitchy again.
I'm not sure what update did it as there were so many, but I uninstalled the service pack 1, but it didnt change anything, so I reinstalled it.
I have determined that it is a software issue and not hardware as if I plug headphones in I still get the glitch and when I did a Linux live boot, the sound worked fine.
I have run these tools, but they have found nothing:
Windows Memory Diagnostic
Windows performance troubleshooter
Windows audio troubleshooter
System File Check
MalwareBytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira
I have also installed every and any driver I can find, but nothing has changed.
I am not sure what caused the initial problem before I reinstalled Windows as I hadn't downloaded anything or installed any new programs in at least 2 weeks. I've had the laptop for over a year and had no issues with it. This may sound crazy, but on the
day of the initial memory issues, there were high levels of Aurora activity due to a large solar flare; I have heard that the electromagnetic interference can screw with technology, but that seems a little farfetched to me.
If anyone has even the slightest idea what it could be, please let me know. I have been trying to fix this for almost a month now.
Thank you,
Jesse Ferland

Hi,
Regarding the issue, I would like to recommend you checking the issue in Safe Mode and let me know whether this issue occurs in Safe Mode.
Since you said this problem occurs after installing Windows Updates. I suggest you restore your machine to an earlier point then check the issue again.
Also you could contact your manufacture to check your sound card.
Hope that helps

Does Software Update CAUSE crashes, or come up AFTER crashes?

Over the past 6 months or more my machine has only hung (i.e. requires a press of a hardware button to restart), about 3-4 times. Each of those times, when I restart the first thing I see is the Apple Software Update screen. At least a couple (if not all) of those times the second thing I see is the Microsoft Office Automatic Update Screen.
I was in the office over the weekend, and no IT guys were around, and the OSX SERVER crashed (which knocked me off the internet, and also off the file server). When I restarted that machine, the first thing that came up was the Apple Software Update.
The question I have is:
* Could the Apple Software Update application be causing my crashes, or
* Am I seeing a feature where OSX says "hey you just crashed, let's check for updates now, even if it hasn't been a week (which is what your preferences say I should wait)".
Does anyone know? I've asked my IT guys here, and they've gone back and forth on it.
Thanks,

Why speculate? Chances are, if you look in the system console, you can find some information that might shed some light on this problem. The console is located in the Utilities folder.

October CC 2014 update causes crash on OBJ import.

I have been trying to import an OBJ file (created in c4dr16, saved as .obj) into AE CC 2014 for use with the Trapcode Form plugin; without fail it causes AE to crash on import.
I've tried going thru the import menu, dragging the file into the prj with the same results - crash.
Connecting to all media via network to servers uptairs.

is it just me?

You will have to take it up with Red Giant/ Trapcode. That being said, C4D simply outputs crappy OBJ files. Download Blender, open your file in there and export it again as a much better OBJ file.

2014.3 Update causing crashes and data loss

I have recently update to Adobe Muse 2014.3 edition. Since then I have been experiencing many crashes, difficulty saving and file corruption. I was not sure if it was Muse or Mac Os errors until now. I can confirm my Mac is in good working order.
See attached screen capture for the latest problem - cannot save a file after making edits. Muse feezes on save.
Is it possible to reinstall the previous version of Muse? I cannot complete work reliably with the new update.
CY

The update fixed the problem, however I am now encountering a new one.
Uploading to ftp locations slows dramatically at about 60% progress, by about 70% progress I get the Mac spinning wheel, sometimes the transfer will progress incredibly slow, or Muse will freeze.
Today I could complete an ftp transfer and muse crashed. See attached screen capture.
I am now exporting html and then uploading va ftp app however when exporting I am still seeing a dramatic slow down at some point after 60%.
I am also seeing the following message pop up in web browsers (see attached image). I have been seeing this message a lot since the first update 2014.3
I thought these problems may be have related to my ISP, however I am in a different country now using two different IPS's but the errors still remain.

Hi there, had same trouble, I have an Epson NX130, would not power up, downloaded all the latest drivers to the computer but still would not power up, after browsing through some answers, one had suggested to go to your printer, where it says share tick the box and see what happens, make certain it is the printer you want to share, when you go to Maintainenceif it shows all colours of your inks and levels you could have solved your problem, cant suggest any thing else, but that worked for me, Good luck

IOS 4 update causes crash on all new vehicles.

I have a 2010 Maxima and have been using the cars usb jack to charge/connect to my Iphone so I can play from my Ipod. It keeps giving the error message that my wires are not compatible, then my car tell me to check my usb connection.

Why did last Update cause crash making apple tvs unusable?

Both my apple tvs are unusable now since the latest update. Help!
I've tried restarting. I've tried unplugging.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

I downloaded the latest important update to windows vista yesterday, and since then Firefox crashes very soon after enetering the portal of any website I visit, and I want to know if the windows vista update could be doing this?

Yesterday (23rd March) my computer appeared to perform an auto update of windows vista and since then every time time use firefox it crashes shortly after entering a web portal (after about 1-5 seconds). It even crashes on the BBC news page which I always use to check stability. I have been using Firefox for years and it has just started doing this. However, I examined the programme files and actaully cannot see a windows vista update for yesterday, but I can see that there was a Firefox update, so now I'm a bit confused. Looking at the program files in more details it appears that there was a very major update of Firefox taking place including lots of file extensions. You should also know that your password recovery process doesn't work. I never got the email that is supposed to help me recover a lost password. I am really disappointed with Firefox doing this. It's costing me time and money. Can you help before I give up and go back to using Windows explorer (ugh!). I have thought of simply removing Firefox and starting again with a new download but that might not solve the probelm and I will lose my bookmarks.

I have an update to my message posted yesterday regarding Firefox crash after vista update. Today it got worse when Firefox wouldn't open at all and Windows explorer also stopped working. Curiously, email was still working, and when I checked another (little used) account on the same PC, I got a perfect connection with Firefox and Explorer. I had to conclude that the latest updates of Vista have interacted with some application only found in my main account on the PC. I tried opening Firefox in its safe mode and I tried opening explorer without Plug ins, but neither worked. Finally I decided the only answer was to do a system restore and wind back the windows software to where it was before the problem. I now have Firefox and explorer restored to working order, but I still don't understand why, because I got a message saying the system restore hasn't worked. Full Comprehension of the cause is beyond my capability, but through trial and error as described above I seem to have fixed it. The suspect vista updates are KB2505189 , and KB2524375.

Firefox 13.0.1 (Win7 ) crashes after Windows defender update applied

Windows 7 SP1
Firefox 13.0.1
Upgraded to FF 13.0.1 with no problems encountered. The next day I restarted the system and installed the Windows Defender definition update released on 6/15 (11.27.2061.0 - KB915597) via Windows Update. After applying the update FF crashed immediately upon starting several times. I rebooted the system - no change. I then applied the restore point created just before the Defender update was applied, rebooted, and was able to start FF normally.
Here's the crash info from one of the crashes:

Does it help if you create a new profile or uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
If you reinstall Firefox then be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove possibly left over files in it.
You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

CC 2014 (18.1.0) | Text Field editing causing crashes (Windows)

Greetings;
I've noticed lately that when saving files from CC 2014 to a CS6 format - and having those files edited on Mac, in either CS6 or CC - when re-opening those files text fields have been causing crashes on the Windows client. When that same file is opened and text fields are edited on the Mac client, a prompt will just appear stating "Cannot Edit text" - yet it still allows it.
This has caused multiple issues for our teams as it has created files we're starting to refer to as "mine fields" - as working with the .ai file is like playing Russian roulette with text fields, you never know which one is going to crash the file.
I would love to work with a team member from Adobe to help find a resolution to the problem, and I'm willing to provide any additional details that might aid in that process.
Thanks!

Hello Pureweb,
Please upload the crashdumps on some file sharing website say Dropbox and share the link with us by sending a mail to "[email protected]". We will analyze the dump and will suggest you the workaround appropriately.
In parallel, please check that you do not have any 3rd Party plugins installed in it. Please try to remove them one-by-one and see which one causes the crashes or do reverse i.e. remove all the 3rd party plugins. Or Uninstall Ai and check at following location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014
Please verify that nothing is left at above location on uninstalling Ai. Then try a fresh install and see if Ai works.
Also, verify that you have the updated Wacom drivers on your system. This might be an issue with the 3rd party program as well. One of the user who was having a similar issue reported on the Ai forum that one of the 3rd party Stahl's ImageWorx DTG RIP - a program for printing to a Direct To Garment printer was causing the issue. So, you may check if the similar thing is not happening in your case.
Regards,
Dhirendra
