  • Cannot download Microsoft Update on Windows 7 built-in

    We run Windows 7 Embedded on some POS registers and I need to add some other Microsoft updates for the Windows Update process. When I click the link it will not download. I don't know the reason for this is due to the very limited network, records must be on for the PCI compliance. I need one of the two below to be able to work around this problem, because we cannot take them outside the restricted network.

    1. Download an installation file that I can put on a USB key to install manually on each register.
    2. Get IP address, just the Setup file of Microsoft Update to enable on my network.

    Download all the updates of windows and installation of install through automatic updates. It's just getting to look for the other Microsoft updates is a problem.

  • Reinstallation of microsoft office home and student 2010 once laptop back to factory settings

    We will have our laptop sent through for repairs in which technicians will be restore to its factory settings.

    I currently have a MS Office Home and Student 2010 installed & activated after the purchase of a product key and download & install the software. I've save a backup of the installation file and, of course, will ensure that I don't lose my product key.

    I just want to ensure that I can reinstall MS Office in my laptop after that she is undergoing a complete restoration of the system. My license only allows me to install/activate MS Office on a single computer. I ask because I have no idea how the activation process will know that I am simply reinstall on the same computer or if a full restore of the system would make my laptop be "recognized" as another.

    All the signs are pointing me to be able to do this. But I don't want to not ask. Please confirm that I have nothing to do except save my product key and the installation file.

    Thanks in advance.

    As long as the repair does not have to replace the motherboard in the laptop, you should be able to reinstall the Office product without any problem.  Just ensure that your Win XP operating system is upgraded to SP3 before trying to install, as well as to remove any office trial programs that may have been resettled when the restoration was done.

    Hello Abdulmalik,
    Welcome to the Forums of Discussion of the user.
    If you are affected by artefacts of green or lines, it is true, it may be hardware related, however, before the search service twords or wipe your entire disk, does occur offline too? or only when streaming. Try to play a DVD from your home library. Do you feel the green bars or blurred image?

    If you only experience this problem when viewing online, connect with LAN cable instead of wireless and see if the distortion disappears, you may experience buffering problems. If all the videos online or off is cause your graphics problems, make sure your CPU fan is clean.

    If you are still not sure to contact technical support to guide you through some deeper troubleshooting,.

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

    I'm trying to fix a friends computer, but the internet is now down.  However, there is no anti-virus installed.  I want to download Microsoft Security Essentials on a USB key so that I can install it on his computer.

    The problem is that I have Windows 8.1 and whenever I go to the page to download MSE for XP, it shows me only the options for Windows 8.1, which does not use that.
    How can I download MSE for XP to my computer Windows 8.1?

  • 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.
