• Windows Vista update, constantly offering the same updates

  Well, the title of my post was just to make things seem worse than they really are. But I think it's a bug, not less.

  I just installed Windows Security Essentials. "Windows Update" keeps me showing that there are both updates optional available through the installation of "Windows Security Essentials". They are updated definition for this software. They are two 3.7 MB. KB, KB2310138, numbers are both the same, but the details see the numbers of different virus definition. The definition of a 1.97.1086.0 and the other is 1.97.840.0. If I install one updates it installs correctly and everything is fine, except that Microsoft Update tells me there is 1 additional optional upgrade for me to install which is annoying and misleading. If I install "both" the KB2310138 updated simultaneously or in succession he confused Windows Update all together and go back to square 1 saying that there is 'optional' 2 updates I can install it. I don't know what is happening, but there is definitely a bug in the middle of all this chaos.

  Maybe someone could tell me if these "Windows Security Essentials" definition updates are cumulative, so that if you later you don't need all the updates of prior definition or are non-cumulative? Thank you.

• Cannot delete mp4 in windows vista, even after changing the property.

  Hello

  I tried all the methods in the solution given in windows vista to remove off the mp4 files from destop. but each time, he said the necessary authorization.

  I had changed the security for the property for full control rights. but always impossible.

  can you please advice me how to do?

  Hi oscarpooh,

  This only happens with MP4 files?

  The following could prevent you from deleting the file.

  Ø if you do not have the adequate rights for a file or folder, you cannot remove it.

  O if not create you the file, you may not be able to delete it, even if it appears in the Public folder. If this is the case, you must ask the owner of the file to delete.

  O in addition, you cannot remove a file (or the folder that contains it) if the file is currently open in a program. Make sure that the file is not open in any program, and then try again to delete the file.

  Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/why-cant-I-delete-a-file-or-folder

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Ensure that you do not play the file when you try to remove it.

   

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and then try to remove

  Start the computer in safe mode, to do this, follow the steps below,

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the button F8 before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Step 2: The corruption of the file system prevents access to the file

   

  You will not be able to delete the file if the file system is damaged. To resolve this problem, run the Chkdsk utility on the disk volume to correct any errors.

  Run the disk check to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

  Now, type chkdsk/r

   Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Let us know if it works

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space

  Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.

  The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.

  I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space?  Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.

  I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.

  Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?

  All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?

  This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.

  Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.

  Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.

  If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).

  Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.

  Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.

  Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?

  No sign of a virus.

  Hello

  Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:

  Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

  I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full.

  I have a HP Pavilion Windows Vista Home Premium, and the D: drive is full. I don't understand how he got that way... but... I've never used windows to the top, however I do back up with my Norton Security.  I'm not a COMPUTER guru AT ALL and am very confused as to what must be saved for me to do a system restore.  I just made a backup on a 16 GB usb flash drive, which included photos, documents, email, contacts and music.  But what of my registry or my drivers I've updated on the latest updates of 2 years and windows?

  So in plain English for the layperson to the computer, lol, can someone tell me...

  1. where should I back up to? (windows, norton?)

  2. what should I back up? EXACTLY, please. lol (I have hundreds of games, I don't want to back to the top if possible)

  3 and... HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHOULD I HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE TRYING THIS. LOL just kidding. Laughing out loud

  Hello

  Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

  However, try these options:

  Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

  Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.

  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

  Method 2

  c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select activate video low resolution (640 × 480) and press ENTER.

  d. connect to your computer with an account of a user who has administrator rights.
