Solved Stuck at preparing to configure Windows Do not turn off your computer

[jadinolf]

If you are willing to have another go - leave this one out :

KB2862330

If I do, I will.

Thanks

Looks like a kernel mode driver, so at a guess that could be the fella giving you problems.

 

[jadinolf]

Greg I am not familiar with that. Will look into it and give it a try.

I now have two computers which are unreliable as far as booting into it is concerned. Very shaky.

I had a problem with KB2862330 as well. This is an update for USB drivers/kernel-mode drivers and it causes problems on some PCs. On the Microsoft Answers Forum, many others have complained about problems with this update.

In my case It caused a blue screen stop:0x000000CA after restart. I had to do a disk image restore and then I installed each update one at a time. Very tedious. When I got to KB2862330, it installed, then after restart, I got the same Blue Screen. KB2862330 was definitely the culprit. I did another disk image restore, skipped installing KB2862330 and installed the remaining updates. No more Blue Screen and now my PC is running normally again as it was before.

Another botched update by Microsoft. They should have tested this update more thoroughly.

There is no reason the restore with an image, just http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html from http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html. This is what it is for, why it should never be turned off, and more disk space apportioned if possible for http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/335-system-protection-change-disk-space-usage.html

Well, I have given up on one computer and am presently installing Windows 7.

I have been working on both computers since early this morning and it is nearly 9 P.M.

I'm afraid the same will apply to the main computer also. I have never seen so many light blue screens. That's what they are both booting into most of the time.

Sure wish I had some help- but I don't.

It's not good to push yourself to fatigue because this causes mistakes.

I'd hew as closely as possible to these same steps for http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164 to assure a perfect install based on what works best for Win7 in countless installs we've helped with here.

If you'd like me to connect to set up your install as given then install Free TeamViewer Download at all defaults and PM back to me the ID and password. You can Skype me during install at greg rocker.

I am setting up the living room computer. Just installing motherboard drivers.

This one (my main one) cannot install the last two updates. When I restart the computer after installation, they boot into that dreaded light blue screen. Been trying for hours.

 

[derekimo]

If it's causing that much trouble I'd just hide the updates till Noel or Tom show up to help with that.

You can hit the report button and ask to have this thread moved to the update forum.

Sorry. Yes, I am exhausted but it's too late. Windows 7 is installed...also antivirus, firewall, SAS and MBAM, Firefox and my email program.

That's it. As far as TeamViewer is concerned, I try it in the morning.

Thanks a bunch.

I will follow the advise given me and move this to Update Forum.

oops, no Skype here.

Did the Updates install this time? Try smaller groups.

On my main computer- the one shown in the specs here, the last two updates did not install. Also the restore was not successful. When I am told to restart it boots to that light blue screen - no mouse- no nothin'.

The other computer has 132 updates waiting to be installed.That has never been a problem before the last 21 updates.

I am going to move this to Updates.

Pleasefollow the WindowsUpdate Posting Instructions and post the requested data

 

[jadinolf]

Still fighting the battle.

I did install the last two updates on my main computer by downloading them from Microsoft and they actually worked.

On the second one on which I reinstalled Win 7- I'm still working on it. Heck it's only taking 3 days.

Yes, I am learning to HATE Windows 7.

On patch Tuesday, I downloaded 24 updates.

Afterwards, I received a message that the Malicious Software Removal Tool did not install.

I checked installed Update History and found the Malicious Software Removal Tool installed successfully.

Very interesting.

This has been one heck of a update exercise.

I'm not done yet. The computer that I reinstalled 7 on is still configuring windows on after 2 days.

Did you wipe the HD or at least delete all partitions during a booted install then do nothing else other than enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) to run all rounds of Important and Optional WIndows Updates?

The reason I ask is I've not seen the same corruption repeat on a wiped or deleted HD unless something was also done during setup that could adversely affect Updates.

I did wipe the drive and no, I set it to download the updates and then I would install.

It ignored my instructions and was ready on shutdown to install 65 updates.

 

[gregrocker]

Are the Updates installing okay now?

How is performance otherwise?
