Anyone having trouble with a Microsoft update on Win #7 home premium?
I had to use the recovery app' to fix it.

Yes, Someone else around here was just complaining about major work to fix their windows machine after an update....


Lol, nevermind. It was YOU. :-)

Well, my win7 machine took the updates just fine. But this update definitely seemed to contain a kernel update. So I assume that's what went wrong for you.

I haven't done mine yet (thanks for the heads up, guys), but I have had BSODs in the past after M$ updates.

The simplest resolution I've found for those is a boot into safe mode, and run system restore (to a date before the updates) from there.

I had 1 crash, don't know if it was before or after the UPDate, yet.
(About to up DRAM from 8 to 32GByte, max. amount the INTEL BP67BG board
will accept).

The crash was before the UPDates.

Have updated 3 Win7 PCs without problems :)

I have had that problem also, but I have a fix. I run MAX Registry Cleaner after the reboot following any Windows updates. It clears the temp files as well as the registry, and all BSOD problems go away. I run many different programs at one time, and even at the speeds I run, once the registry and temp files are clean, no more problems.

I did try and Boot into Safe Mode last night, but it Blue screened there too,

My Windows 7 x64 i7-2600K, my Windows 7 x32 Atom N450 netbook and my Vista x64 C2D E8500 all updated O.K

You can boot off of your Windows 7 installation media and use System Restore from there, so try that first

What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

I don't have Windows 7 on it, only Vista x32 SP2, and the Blue Screen Error is Unmountable_Boot_Volume

A Vista disc should have the same recovery options. IIRC once you boot and select the language/region there is an option on the bottom left of the screen saying something along the lines of "Repair Computer". Which will then take you to the recovery environment.

I've Booted off the Vista Recovery disk a couple of times, there is no Repair Option there on my disk,

Is it a real Vista install CD or an OEM Recovery CD?

It's an OEM Vista 32bit Recovery DVD,

Claggy, boot from your vista install disk an go to the command prompt,
type and execute

fixmbr
after that a
fixboot

exit
(reboot computer)

mostly this solves the unmountable boot device, at least it doesn't make it worse ...

- Performance is not a simple linear function of the number of CPUs you throw at the problem. -

When I used to work at a computer repair shop, I learned that running those commands would prevent you from doing a repair installation afterwards on XP. So in some cases it does make things worse, I wouldn't do that until it was a last resort before formatting/reinstalling clean. Again my experience with that is from XP so it might not apply to Vista/7.

It can also cause the same problems with Vista...so far though, haven't experienced problems using those on Win 7.

It's an OEM Recovery DVD, i can't get it to the command prompt to do that, if i F8 on DVD Bootup the only options there are install Windows and do memory diagnostics,

The only other Vista Disk i have is 64bit, At the moment i'm trying Startup Repair from a 32bit Windows 7 Disk instead,
If that doesn't work, I'll try from the command prompt there instead.

Update: Running the Startup Repair twice on my 32bit Windows 7 Disk has fixed the Drive and enabled Vista to Boot and finish installing the updates, :-)
