Hello

I receieved and installed 9 updates today from Microsoft. After rebotting, I
am getting the following error:


Failed to connect to a windows service. Windows could not connect to the
System Event Notification Service service. This problem prevents limited
users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can
review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn’t respond.

I am running Vista Home Premium.

Has anyone else run into this problem?
Any solutions?

Yes, I got that message yesterday, after installing 14 updates. Also, my
speakers started to issue a very loud constant hiss.. I had to unplug them,
and even removed the soundcard. Ever since I installed the updates, my CPU
has been at 98-100%, making it difficult to do anything.
I haven't found a way to fix this yet.

Seems to be quite a few people having problems after yesterday.

You can always do a rollback to the day before yesterday and see if it
improves things, or go to add/remove and remove the updates one at a time
until the problem goes away

Thanks for your responses.

I was able to finally install the 9 updates successfully.
I got a few high-pitched tones during one update.

I got another 5 updates later that day, and then another 7 updates this
morning.

The first 5 installed without a problem. The next 7 are giving me problems.
They don't seem to be installing successfully.

My friend said that Microsoft is going to be rolling out a big update
Service Pack for Vista. Maybe this is the start of it.

I read in the Vista Help file on my computer that you can delete the update
history. That will cause the computer to go get the updates again. I am going
to try that. It stated that this deletes your update history, which isn't a
great thing.

Hi... I have a more specific problem:

I am having a problem with installing update 938371, which is a component
for installing the future SP1.

I have tried 3 times, including individually, to install it.

I keep getting an error code of 80070570, which I can't find.

Near the time I last tried to install it.... my Norton security trapped a
connection attempt to IP address 65.55.192.61, an address that didn't resolve.

I blocked that since it seems very suspicious.

Anyone have a similar problem?? Anyone know what the error code means??

I fixed my CPU problem by uninstalling McAfee... usage went from 95-100% to
10-30%. Was working fine before the updates...

I think my soundcard blew up during the update installs... replaced it with
an older SB Live! card, which works ok.

Did that work?

If not, what downloads are not downloading?

Try downloading them one at a time, instead of all at once.
