• Can not get Vista updates

  I have Vista Home Premium 32. I keep getting pop ups tells me Windows cannot update. I followed all the links, the downloaded service pacs (I think) and I still have this problem.

  I'm not the brightest person when it comes to computers. This is but one of the many problems I would like to solve.

  I might call in a tech, but I tell myself that if I can get help from a site like this, I'll learn.

  Please repost your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where people who specialize in the updates will be more than happy to help you with your problems.  Please provide the EXACT text of the pop up (including all codes) and which update you are trying to download or install (name and number).

  Good luck!

• Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

  Hello

  Is it possible to set up a Vista account which can only download "microsoft updates" (that is, no other non-microsoft files can be downloaded or installed)?

  I know that you can create a 'guest account ' with essentially the rights of internet browsing. I would, however, allow for some more flexibility, such as if there are microsoft updates or antivirus updates, this account is permitted to accept these files. I fear that non-microsoft files such as google or yahoo toolbars settle.

  Thanks to anyone who can help us with that.

  There is no installation in Windows to allow this, and I can't say I've ever heard an Add on for Windows that would allow this.

• Vista 32 bit can't install or update ALL drivers. Error message: "the system cannot find the file specified."

  I also have problems with installation or update all drivers. I keep getting the same error message as everyone another (Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it.) The system cannot find the specified file. ") I am currently running Windows Vista 32-bit. Did anyone facing this problem? I can't believe that it has not been yet resolved. ?? I tried to install the drivers from a Web site of the manufacturer (canon), update the driver from windows, cd rom and my USB port. Nothing works. I not made any changes to my laptop and I have to download/install updates regularly.  Come to think of it, I think that this has been a problem for a long time that I was not able to install an update on my 8400 M GS of Nvidia G-force several months > it continues just failing. I checked today and the driver needs to be updated... but I can't update any of them. Did someone really treats problems in this Forum? We could really use some help on this issue!

• Computer won't turn on after a Vista update. How can I fix?

  Yesterday, I tried to install a Vista update.  It was wide enough because the message says that I wouldn't be able to use my computer for about an hour.  I started the process and the left.  4hours later I returned and my computer is waiting for permission to restart to continue the update process.  I rebooted and for a while it seemed to make progress.  Again, I have left for another 3 hours or more, and when I got back to my computer was hibernating and wouldn't wake up.  After trying to wake up in vain for 15 minutes, I made a forced stop.  During its restart in safe mode, I got a message saying that the computer failed to start and suggested a system recovery, who did.  He worked on that when I had to go to work.  Throughout this process, he has been connected with a full battery.  4 hours later I went back to work.  Despite being connected, with the lit sheet icon, my computer was off with the battery low light flashing.  I tried to turn it on.  He showed the black and grey, window prompting me to start in SafeMode or start regularly, before I could choose, the low battery alarm when off the coast and off the computer.  Now, I can't turn on my computer with or without the battery then that plugged or unplugged.  I don't know what the exact date was, just that it's an update to Vista.

  Hello

  It sounds like a hardware error which would happen at the next reboot and is
  probably incidental to the update. You need help from a real computer store (one who
  internal service and not of leeks and display a Best Buy or other stores)
  or support from the system manufacturer.

  I hope this helps.

• Recently installed vista update. I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.

  Recently installed vista update.  I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.  I get a message that says 'wireless link failed because windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.  I troubleshott he said of computing could be from low signal strength and yet it shows the strength of 100%.  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

  In general.

  Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  When the work turns on the Wireless security.

  Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

  Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

  --------------------------------------------------

  I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

  Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
  some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Can configure is no longer Windows Vista update to include the updates for other Microsoft products (Office, Visual Studio, etc.).

  I once had a problem with Windows Update, which gives me a family of .NET Framework through the window of Control Panel\Windows to update to Windows Vista, even if it has been installed and has Microsoft support help me through EasyAssist. The problem of .NET Framework has been fixed, but now I have a problem: the Control Panel\Windows update window informs me today I'll receive downloads for Windows only, not for all Microsoft products.
  When I click on "Change settings", the Microsoft Update option is no longer present.
  When I click on the link 'Get' updates for more products, I am now redirected to the former site of Windows Update V4 (who is not supposed to appear on Windows Vista) instead of Microsoft Update, and this site Web of Windows Update cannot detect the Vista updates.
  So I'm stuck now with only being able to get informed about the upgrades to Windows, but not other updates from Microsoft. And we don't mean Windows Vista x 64 final with the last Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788. This new update would be the culprit?

  Hi Unicodemaster787,

  Even if it is not automatic, you should be able to get your updates from the Microsoft Download center http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/en/default.aspx

  Other than that, your best bet would be to do a repair install and let the system to reinstall the original files and settings.

  When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

  To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

     Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then click on install now.

  3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
  5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
  7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.

  Remember, however, that it could undo previous changes to solve your problems of .net.
