Windows update not started

have tried everything on MS help to get windows update started but since I have had my hard disk replaced this service is just not running any more. have a Touchsmart IQ848HK upgraded to Win7.

Hello GACHK:
My guess you need to start out with Vista windows first. Then do your upgrade following your computer's up grade page. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01778879&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3985637 Something to do with drivers and using HP's window 7 upgrade disc from HP. HP disc has those needed drivers already on the disc. Least that's what your page say's. No where does it say any thing about a new hard drive insulation so I as sum you need to start out with vista those drivers are orginal. frrw

Windows could not start after SP-3 update

Windows could not start after SP-3 update
After I updated Apple Software Update to 2.1 and then updated to BC 2.1 successfully I D/L & Installed SP-3. Even got the Wizard & seemed to go OK. Got prompt “Installation Complete, Need to restart.” I did. I got a black screen with text:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
I used the power button to shut down Windows & then booted into Mac OS X normally.
I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP installation CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
Has anyone done this with a similar error & successfully repaired their Windows installation? I don’t know if this is a Boot Camp problem or not. XP SP 2 had been working just fine.
Thanks for any help.

Solved! It apparently was NOT a Boot Camp Issue. The fix was to obtain the file “biosinfo.inf” and from the Mac side, go into my WIndows XP HDD & add that file to: Windows/INF folder. (Yes, it was missing). Why my XP SP2 installation worked fine w/o this file is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps this file is needed only when doing a type of major update yet not needed for simply starting & running Windows? There are web pages stating that upgrading to SP 3 can cause this problem if using 3rd party software such as Norton Anti-Virus (I don’t have that but DO have Zone Alarm). There are also various complicated, long fixes out there. For me, replacing that file did the trick & everything seems fine now. (As far as where one “obtains” that file--long story)

BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is miss

I installed Bootcamp update 2.1 and then XP SP3.
Now when I start up my Mac I am getting a BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system 32-hal.dll Please re-installl a copy of hte above file"
I tried to use the option key and insert the Windows CD but it won't start up.
Also, when I start up I must use the option key and select the Mac OS and it will start up and everything is fine there. Advice appreciated.

Did you ever solve this? I had updated to BC 2.1 (After updating Apple Software Update al on the Windows side) I waited & just tonight tried to install SP-3. It appeared to install & When I was prompted to restart--I also got the black screen. Mine said:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
I just force powered off & booted into Mac.
I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
You may need to do essentially the same thing. I do not know if this problem is a boot camp problem of just a Windows problem.
Sure is annoying,
Good luck!

Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer

Dear All,
I'm having an issue starting the DTC service in windows 7 OS. I always got the error message below when im trying to start it.
"Windows could not start the distributed transaction coordinator service on local computer"
Thanks,
Melvin

Hi Melvin,
Please try the following methods to solve this issue:
Method 1: Re-create the MS DTC log, and then restart the service.
Click
Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Type the command
msdtc -resetlog at the command prompt, and then press
Enter.
Warning: The msdtc -resetlog command can cause data corruption if it is used incorrectly. Make sure that you do not have any pending transactions when you run this
command.
Type the command net start msdtc, and then press
Enter.
Method 2: Set the logon account permissions for the MS DTC service
If Method 1 does not resolve the problem, set the logon account for the MS DTC service to have read and write permissions for the Msdtc.log file. Please follow the steps below:
Click
Start, type cmd in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Type the command
control admintools at the command prompt, and then press
Enter.
Double-click
Services.
In the Services pane, locate
Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
In the
Log On As column, note the account name. Note: The default logon account for the MS DTC service is the NETWORK SERVICE account.
Start Windows Explorer, and
then open the %windir%\System32\Msdtc folder.
Right-click the
Msdtc.log file, and then click Properties.
Click the
Security tab.
Click the logon account name that you noted
in step 5. For example, click the NETWORK SERVICE account name.
In the
Permissions pane, click to select the Allow check box for the following permissions: ◦Read & Execute
◦Read    ◦Write
Click
OK.
Click
Yes to accept the security warning.
In the
Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
Start.
Method 3: Assign permissions to the NETWORK service to traverse the directory tree
Determine whether the NETWORK service has permissions to traverse through the folder. To do this, follow these steps.
Note: By default, the "Everyone" group has these permissions. For more information, go to the following Microsoft TechNet website:
Bypass traverse checking
Click
Start, type secpol.msc in the search box, and then press
Enter.
Browse through the following computer configuration:
        \Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
Check for "Bypass traverse checking," and then add the "Everyone" group.
Update the Group Policy settings on the computer. To do this, click
Start, type gpupdate in the search box, and then press
Enter.
In the
Services pane, right-click Distributed Transaction Coordinator, and then click
Start.

Lany Zhang

Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

I've read the threads.
This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended services turning on restarting.
Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.
Thank You

Hi,
If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
What is System Restore?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
Open Event Viewer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
You should check again if you have started all these services.
Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
3. Reset Windows Update components

Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer.

Hi

i'm getting this error when i want to start the Windows Audio service
"Windows could not start the Windows Audio service on Local Computer.
Error 0x800706cc: The end point is a duplicate."
HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Hi,
Have your gotten any updates installed?
Regarding to current information, this issue can be caused by corrupted updated files or drivers.
Please check if there is any update related to audio driver. Can this issue be fixed if you remove such update?
I also suggest you can try to reinstall Audio driver to check the results.

Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Today I installed Adobe Director 11.5. I received a couple of errors in the FLEXnet Licensing Service. It looks It could not start. I tried to download the Licence fix what I found on Google but that doesn't work, so I checked the 'Service' at service (windows).
It's status is empty. When I double click on the FLEXnet Licensing Service, clicked on start at the opened window and an error is coming:
Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I don't understand what it says with this message, only that it is impossible to start. However, that is not what I am trying of course, I want to start the FLEXnet Licensing Service, service.
Re-installing of the software, doesn't make any change. How can I start it so Director is also working?

Please consider seek help at the software vendor side.

Windows Updates not working

We are having a problem with Windows update not wanting to work with the
filters up and running.
When I drop the filtering Windows Update from the workstations works just
fine. When I have the filters up we get an error code of Error number:
0x80072EFE from the windows update which is only identified as
ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED Some network problem or the server/proxy
reset the socket connection.
Any ideas on what filter exceptions I need to put in BM to allow this
traffic??
TIA!

Do what I did.
Installed Windows System Update Service on a Windows 2003 Server. It's free.
Then I added a rule to bypass the proxy for the WSUS server only.
So WSUS server downloads direct from MS and stores them locally
The Clients download from the WSUS Server saving on bandwidth on the
Internet Connection
It's another work around.

"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

I had a similar issue - couldn't make any files available offline.
I found that the offline folder service would not start
This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed. I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
in control panel, disable the offline files, reboot, then re-enable. and now its working :)
2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

Error: We apologize for the inconvenience but Windows did not start successfully

when i open my desktop computer,it dosent start up normal
i get this message
( we apologize for the inconvenience ,but windows did not start successfully. a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration
to revert to the most recent settings that worked.
If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power of failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren’t sure what caused
the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally

Try starting in Safe Mode. Once it is up and running, do a normal restart and then see if it will work. Many times this is all that I have had to do to get it working again. If not, then repost with more details.

HT4839 the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

Hello.
the iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
failed to create an ipc port access is denied
Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
I am using Windows XP SP3
I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
THanks!!
