Recent Windows 7 Update has killed windows

Help, I run Windows 7 in Bootcamp, recent windows 7 update has killed windows, this is what happens.
Choose to boot to windows - OK
Hit logon screen - OK
Logon - OK
Windows loads, the desktop shows for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank.
The computer is still ON but the screen is blank.
I can boot into safemode OK, but can't run the bootcamp update (that I downloaded from here) in safemode.
I tried a restore point, but the ones before the update create an error, so thats a no go.
My thoughts are that it is a video driver issue, but that doesn't explain how it gets passed logon working OK.
I don't know how to fix this if the only way to update drivers is via an .exe vs the driver files themselves like windows usually likes.

You could try this advice from the Windows side.
Startup Repair is a good place to start if your system starts acting up. If you can’t get the Advanced Boot Options screen by hitting F8, you can also access the tools by booting from a System Recovery Disc, or the Windows installation disc. While System Repair might not be able to recover your system in all situations, it’s a great starting point before getting into more detailed recoveries like Restoring from an image or clean install.

Windows Vista update has disabled full screen minimize feature when watching videos

It was an Explorer update not Vista. Any help appreciated

T61 no sound after Windows (Vista) update (?)

I have purchased a T61 in December 2007. The sound has always been low and now i have no sound at all. I cannot hear files locally or on the Net -- or any of the computer sounds.
i realize now that it has happened after a Windows (Vista) update. I have done every step but 6.
I have Speakers (SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio). The sound keeps defaulting to to Line 2 Muv Enum (Virtual Cable).

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.

Windows Vista Update posts 64bit driver for Qosmio F30 32bit Vista

Hello
Today I've noticed that Windows Vista update is posting the wrong update for one of Qosmio F30 drivers.
I have Windows Vista 32Bit but Windows Update post a 64bit version of the driver.
see the screenshot [Here|http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]
Any idea?

hmm... this is strange ?:|
The Toshiba x64 ACPI compliant driver means definitely a 64bit version!!!
I dont know why the Vista driver update notification reports an 64bit driver for a 32bit OS but usually the 64bit driver shouldn't be compatible with the 32bit OS.
However, the case seems to be clear dont install it if the driver is not designed for your OS.

Audigy 2 ZS and Vista - updated drivers, now no sound

I was running Windows XP Pro and updated to Vista Home Premium. I installed the Audigy 2 ZS Vista beta drivers and the sound worked fine. I recently downloaded the new drivers (SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_2_0002) and now I have no sound Everything seems find in the control panel, no conflicts, it says the sound card is working, but the speaker icon in the system tray has a little red X on it and claims that there is no audio device installed. I have tried reinstalling the beta drivers, but they no longer work. I've tried several complete driver deletes and reinstalls, no joy.... Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a solution?

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

Windows Vista Boot Camp - No Audio (sound)

Hi Guys,
I just got my father's Macbook Pro he bought last year for christmas, and I was already excited how I could actually have both Mac and Windows on one laptop (as I need Windows for making music in Fl Studio). Now the problem is, that there is no Sound coming out of the MBP when in Windows, and there is the infamous red light coming out of the Headphones Jack. I'll explain everything I did in steps so that you get the idea. So first of all, I started with the Bootcamp Partition and Installation. Since I lost my Mac OS X (or tbh my father lost it ) I was happy to see that I could actually download the 'support software a.k.a. Drivers' directly before the installation. Well, guess what, It didn't work because the 'support software was not available'. Anyways, I proceeded with the Installation as if I had the CD and Drivers ready. Everything went fine, after booting to Windows I installed Bootcamp and the drivers (Since I found someone posting the .Iso file of the contents of the MAC OS X CD I lost, so I downloaded it.), I was excited to see that every button on the keyboard worked and also the trackpad worked almost flawlessly.Now after the Installation, I did some Windows updates, and then I wanted to listen to some Music, and suddenly I realized that my Sound isn't working! And the Jack started to Glow Red.
So I went online, in search of the problem. I found various 'fixes' for the problem, such as installing a Cirrus Driver (well that didn't work, as it said that my windows is in Slovak and that's not a supported language... what the ****?), then I tried to install Realtek Drivers - didn't do anything (although I didn't uninstall the old ones, because I wasn't sure how exactly to do that.)... Well I think it might be helpful if I'll just summarize what 'fixes' I tried:
Update to Boot Camp 3.1 - Didn't work
Update to Service Pack 1 or later. - Updating to Service Pack 1 and then 2 got rid of the red light, when there is no sound output, as soon as I try to play something it's back on, glowing like a Christmas Tree
Try to wiggle a toothpick in the headphone jack - amazing fix, isn't it? Well I actually found out that It worked for some people, and since I'm desperate, I tried it... As expected, it didn't work.
Install Realtek Drivers - as mentioned above, didn't work...
Install Cirrus Drivers - Slovak Language not 'supported'... right.
Update Boot Camp to latest update - Didn't Work...
Install a 32 Bit Version of Windows - I didn't mention this, I had first a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Installed, and the sound didn't work as well. As there was some problem with the Boot Camp installation, I tried to reinstall to 32 Bit, But used Windows Vista instead, because I heard Windows 7 Is 'not yet supported' or something..
Make sure the Speakers are 'preset' as a default device in the Sounds Control Panel - It Already was preset -.-
'Rage Plug' the computer and hope for the best...? Yeah.
Can anyone finally tell me how to fix this, I am desperate, tired, angry and all the other negative emotions you can imagine right no, because I spent hours on this, looking up millions of forums, in which there was no answer for me!!
Please.
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to download the drivers. To download them, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to download them. You will have to burn them onto a DVD or USB drive, so you will be able to install the drivers on Windows. Then, it should work fine.
If you can't download them in Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers from this website > http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers The links are from Apple and that's safe to download and install

Master Collection fails to start after Windows Vista update

Last night, Automatic Update patched my machine and restarted. This morning, I find that all my CS3 apps (from Master Collection) will not start. Every app presents me with the "Adobe ________ .exe has stopped working." Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

Hi all, just ran into the same issue after Service Pack 1 for Vista. Here's the solution:
If you are getting a message about the BRS pencil tool when launching Illustrator and you are using Windows Vista or XP, you may be missing an important font.
For Vista users you are missing the Segoe-UI font. For XP users
you are missing the Tahoma font. These fonts need to be installed on
your system in order for Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop and InDesign to
launch. Most of the other applications will give you a generic
"application has stopped working" error when trying to launch.
Also,another clue is located inside the Event Viewer. For vista users, click on your start button and in the search area type "event", the event viewer will show in the results area, click on it and then click on "windows logs", then click on "application". For XP users, click Start, then Run and type "eventvwr" and hit enter, then click on
"Application". By double-clicking on an error you will see the
description for the problem. If the faulting module shows AdobeOwl.dll, you are most likely missing the font. You can do a google search for the font and they are available for download.
So far I have not found a solution for a mac. The documents referencing these errors are kb402311 and 331889

Cisco VPN Client after Windows Vista Update (KB941229)

I had the Cisco VPN client 5 installed on my laptop and configured by the IT department at work. It was working fine all day until I restarted and KB941229 was automatically installed. When it turned back on the Cisco VPN service (CVPND) would attempt to run then stop. If I started it manually it would run for about a minute then stop again. Without the service running the VPN client won't open, let alone let me connect.
I know this vista update is fairly recent so I'm not sure there will be a fix but maybe somebody can think of a workaround or some way to fix this situation.
Things I've tried:
1) Uninstalling the windows update
2) restarting
3) restarting (in denial that this was happening)
4) configuring a vista VPN connection to attempt to connect to the company VPN (this failed too)
Uninstalling the update caused me to be unable to ping for some reason. This meant the VPN client would run but be unable to connect to the server and yet I was entirely able to access the internet locally. I reinstalled the update assuming maybe the installation went badly but that caused the same problem with the VPN service stopping itself (or being stopped) after a minute.

Hello
my issue has been resolved.
there is a service called Base Filtering Services running in background for Vista and has to disabled to make IP Sec VPN Client working.
after doing so it works smoothly.

BSOD after installing Windows Vista Update Package

Ok, so I am not good with computers, so I have no idea what to do. I have looked everywhere and still cannot find a solution that seems plausible with my error.
The other day I was on my computer and it was running perfectly fine. No freezing, no slowness, perfect. Then, my update thing told me that the most recent Vindows Service pack was available for update, and I like to keep up-to-date with them, so I installed and it was set to automatically update.
I have an IBM ThinkPad t61p with Windows Vista Ultimate.
After restarting the computer I left for a while and came back to the checkdisk running. I had not told it to run, and it had frozen at 74% on step 5/5 of the checkdisk, which I am assuming means that I have some sort of hard drive corruption. So, I was forced to turn off with holding the power button and when it turned on again it went straight to the diskcheck and I watched it until it froze at the same point again. The next time I restarted I got the blue screen of death and now that is all I get whether I start in safe mode, or any other mode.
I had a virus or something a while ago that kept freezing my computer, but I think I got rid of it as it has been working fine over the past 5/6 weeks. I also don't think it is a problem with not having enough RAM because I just uninstalled a couple programs that were taking up a lot of space, and even before that it wasn't close to full.
I get stop: 0x00000024 error and it goes into a restart loop
When I press the blue ThinkVantage button and go to the F11 menu it tries to open rescue and recovery, but after about 2 minutes it goes back to the infinite restart loop.
I also tried running the hard drive diagnostics program and IDK how to interpret the results, but it says:
Main Hard Disk Drive.......HDD0: HITACHI (gives me the id code)
Status......Test in progress 100%
Result......Pass: Controller Diag, Pass: Read verification and speed test
I have no idea what is wrong and it is so frustrating!!!!!!! What should I do if I can even do anything?! I need help!!!! T_T
(As a last resort I also tried installing XP on my Vista machine. I didn't think it would work, but I put boot CD in the first spot, and put cd in, but it just goes to the BSOD again.)

this error is so much obvius.
just look on internet on how to disable readyboost. additional just turn off the hybrid function and u will never see this bsod again, even i dont know how dumb ur mediacenter edition is and want to give u other bsods. btw i only seen bsods couse of **bleep** driver on my devices. donno how u manage to get such bluescreens......
btw according to the results i recommning ya to use ckhdsk /f to ur disk. mstWorker is mentioned wich means read write issues on access files. mstworker is microsoft Tiworker, an process wich examines files an bit. used by winupdate and the indexer.

Acrobat 7 and Reader 8 stall with latest Windows Vista Update

After downloading and installing the most recent Windows Vista 64 bit update, neither reader or acrobat will start when I attempt to open a .pdf document. I ran 'system restore' to undue the Windows Update and all is now fine, .pdf's will now open using acrobat or reader... I believe this update is the culprit to acrobat or reader being able to start once the updates been installed: Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419) Download size: 157.3 MB Update type: Recommended

hmmm, my version (7.0.9) of AA7 pro runs just fine on my copy of Windows 64 bit (longhorn) using the AMD 64 bit processor... Unless I install the latest windows update... Then, as already stated, both AA7 and Reader fail to start when I attempt to open an existing .pdf... MS needs to better debug the current windows update file...

Windows vista update has killed my sound !!
