• Apply SP3 to sp3.cab manually instead of using Windows Update?

  The original installation software of my PC included only Service Pack 2.  I used the update to upgrade my machine to SP3.  It took a lot of time (about 90 minutes).  What I would like to know... are the installation of SP3 files downloaded to my machine in a format that would allow me to run the update manually without going through Windows Update.  I found the SP3.cab file on my machine... but it isn't but 22.7 MB while updating told me that the download was (if I remember correctly) 66 MB approximately.  I don't want to download the full blown sp3 (314 mb) and I would like to avoid having to use Windows update to update my machine the next time I have to rebuild this machine.  Any suggestions on the best way to do it?

  22 Sp3.cab MB isn't the whole update file, AFAIK. It is not yet a complete file.

  My advice would be to let Windows Update to install SP3 if you do want to installation offline.

• What is the best way to upgrade Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate

  What is the best way to upgrade Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate to load the language packs?

  Hello
  Welcome to the Microsoft community. Sorry for the delay in responding.

  Please take a look at this article for more information on the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.
  Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade but now it would be better if you upgrade to Windows 10 directly. If you have Windows 7 Professional, you qualify for a free update to Windows Professional 10.

  Upgrade to Windows 10

  Which edition of Windows I get as part of the free update?

  To install the language packs take a look at this article.

  Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise

• try to use Windows Update with Windows Mobile 6.1 gets error code 80072ee7

  First of all, I don't know why it is not a category to select Windows Mobile as the "main product" this issue is about.  Microsoft should really put in place the best support for their mobile products.

  That being said, here's my problem.  On my AT & T Tilt, which operates under Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, I can very well browse the web, use applications that require the transmission of data, connect to a wireless network in the region and can synchronize with my PC Vista very well... but try to use Windows Update to the operating system is up to date always fails each time with the same error code, no matter what I try to do.

  I saw something on the fixing of the same code error on Windows 7, but I don't think that it applies as Mobile 6.1 does not have a "Drivers" folder in the Windows system folder.  Solution Windows 7 involved by changing the "Hosts" file, but I can't seem to find where such a file may be under Mobile 6.1, or if Windows Mobile uses even a Hosts file at all.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Or am I pretty much just stuck, until I can afford to get one of the new 6.5 ridiculously expensive smartphones?

  Hi wbdes,

  Since it is a support forum for Windows Vista and 7 consumption, these BONES are for the laptop computer desk/computer system.  You should try to repost your question in the forum specific to Windows Phone for best results.

• Windows Explorer stops working after that I have to use Windows Update

  Currently, using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit service pack 1. After that I restarted the computer to finish the update/install Windows I can't use the functions from the Start button. Any attempt also runs programs through the Task Manager is met even uselessness. I gives me the error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and restarts. However, all program shortcuts that I have on the desktop can be used.

  The only way to solve the problem for me is to use the system restore to take me to a previous time when I didn't have the problem. However if I try to update by using windows update I experience the problem again.

  Im trying to download update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 64

  Finally, I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, I don't know where to go. If posting in the wrong forum, I would appreciate a link to the right pair.

  -Josh

  Hi Josh, I had the same problem with Windows Explorer on a HP Vista Home Edition 64-bit computer, it would keep restart loop and stops also all the programs in the taskbar.

  I searched different forums and I tried different options, but nothing worked until someone said it might be a virus. I have Norton but it does not detect anything, so I tried Defender of Windows (that I had turned off because I had Norton) of Windows Defender found this startup program called mwau.exe to rest under C:\recycler\(random numbers...) but when I open the C: drive, I couldn't find anything manually, but there is no option to delete or disable it through Windows Defender.

  Then I Googled that name and found a software called free Antivirus "Malwarebytes anti-malware 1.41 ' recommended by CNET download.com, it's a small program, but I downloaded and ran, it found and removed this mwau.exe, I have not had problems with Windows Explorer after that, apparently mwau.exe means (I think) auto update for Microsoft Windows.» But after its removal, I have more problems. My updates of Windows runs as usual and I get new updates as usual, but this muau.exe was probably evil viruses do.

  Here is the download free link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
  In addition, when you click on download the exe file name is mbam-setup

  Good luck. See you soon.

• My product key on a new installation was invalid so then I activated by phone... now when I use windows update it does not work correctly

  My product key on a new installation was invalid so then I activated by phone... now when I use windows update it is not working properly because it says that I don't have a genuine copy of windows... But it seems that the updates don't come down... is it ok to work this way?

• Switchable graphics using Windows Update update

  Good evening

  This may be a very stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else.

  I have a HP Envy-m6 with switchable graphics, with the usual of an Intel HD 4000 combination and an AMD Radeon HD 7600M graphics card.

  When I bought the laptop and did not realize he had switchable graphics, I made the mistake of updating the drivers for one of these cards through the manufacturer sites, bringing all to go haywire. I finally managed to restore it and I was told that the only way in which you can update these drivers is via the software driver on the HP website offerend (or perhap use HP Support Assistant).

  However, only today, Windows Update indicated that there were updates for pilots of the AMD and Intel. My question is simple: can I update the two drivers through Windows Update, or it will cause switchable graphics break?

  If I can't use Windows Update to update these drivers, HP will come out a combined driver package that integrates these new drivers on the Support Web site at some point?

  Apologies if these questions are obivous, but I couldn't easily find the answer elsewhere, and I would rather have to re-install my drivers from scratch once again.

  Hi Tio_Holzman,

  Updates Windows checks the site of the manufacturer for updated drivers.  I recommend that you use the HP drivers, HP may have modified them for your exact system.  As you said when you install the drivers from the manufacture website, they do not always perform as you want and this is why.

  The HP Support Assistant check the HP site for the current drivers for you exact model.

  Pilots will be published or updated at the discretion of HP.

  I hope that this has answered your questions.

• What is the best way to use files recovery

  I work in FM 11 and broke FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as normal files? So should I filter a window of the Explorer to "recovery" so FM don't ask me if I want to use the older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

  > What is a wash of the MIF?

  1. Save all the files of FM component .mif as MIF format.
     Save the .book as. book.MIF in the MIF format.
  2. Output FM.
     Restart FM.
  3. Open .mifs. Save as FM, replacing the old (FM probably saved files).
  4. Open the. book.MIF, re - register under .book.
     Note: do not open the. first book.MIF and then try to open the component files, or open the files binary pre - MIF.

  FM11 and 12 can have a free add-on as much as the fact in a single operation.

  Washing MIF creates new .book files and FM have syntactically correct data structures (and that may have lack of bad content). They are less likely to crash, but can still have problems.

• Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
  install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

  I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

  I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

  I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

  If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

  I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

• What is the best way to use the Y50-70 battery please?

  I bought the laptop y50-70

  but I want to know what is the best method to use the battery.

  and the best way to recharge.

  NOTE *.

  IAM always use the cable and I gave the battery except a few times.

  Thank you very much..

  Best way to use the battery, if your laptop should ALWAYS be connected in-

  Go to eat energy Lenovo - should be a RED icon in the system tray - and choose the mode for a better health of the battery (or battery Protection or health of battery optimized mode).

  I don't know what the energy Manager version you have, but the option must seem similar. What it does is, it will keep your battery charged ONLY up to 60 percent and will increase its service life.
