• Cannot install updates for Windows 7 SP1

  Hello

  I tried for awhile now to switch to Windows 10 without luck ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/windows-7-key-not-recognized/9a66ab9a-819a-4285-9461-64e7528db222?tm=1450545430339&auth=1 ). In the end, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 RTM, install all updates and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  Unfortunately, I seem to be impossible to install updates for Windows 7 now. Everything was going fine until Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed. After a few mistakes, WU start looking for updates for hours. I've tried everything as suggested here without a bit of luck. In the end, I decided to leave it to search through the night and finally it does find and download updates about 300.

  Installation of these updates takes about 4 hours and Windows restarted and tried to configure the new updates, restarted saying once again he could not configure the updates of Windows and it will undo the changes. And it's been like that for over an hour.

  So as soon as now I can not even update Windows 7, not to mention the upgrade of Windows 10.  Any ideas? I'm sick of the Windows updates, causing problems.

  Installation sometimes loads of updates at a time can cause problems. When you access the list of the 300 updates Windows updates to odd day again, deselect all of them and then choose the oldest (for example) 50 and see if they install on their own.

  Sometimes do fall off a long list of updates and try to install more small pieces may help them to install.

  Is not sure, but its worth a try as a first shot.

  (I know what you mean though issues of update.) It makes you wonder what's going on sometimes :-()

  If this does not help, is there required failure account error codes?

• Cannot install updates for Windows XP SP3

  Well for some reason, I am unable to update a new installation of Windows XP Pro after installing SP3.

  I tried the following:

  Reset.

  IE6 is in tools > set windows update (gave me the message of not being able to be updated unless the update to sp3 which I am already)
  The Windows Security Center on the left hand side click on "check the latest updates from Windows Update." Got the same page as described before.
  Microsoft Windows browsed forums - found a lot of comments saying problem has been resolved by updating to IE8.
  Updated to IE8. Restarted. Waited to see yellow shield in the corner saying windows has been downloaded updates. There can be no.
  Click "Check the latest updates" once again, he launched IE8 but led me to the same page, telling me to SP3 again, I already have)
  Checked under System Properties I'm at SP3.
  The active firewall settings. Make an exception for wupdmgr and wuaclt. Think the windows firewall can block updates.
  Waited for updates again. Yet none came through.
  Click "Check the latest updates", waited a bit came updates.
  Entered the update IE8\Tools\Windows and got the same message to update again.

  There is no other software virus on the PC at the moment.
  I was Imaging PCs for several weeks, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem.

  I have .net framework 2.0 and 3.0 is installed. They have been installed prior to service pack 3. I tried to uninstall, but it wouldn't let me, and I'm not entirely convinced that is the problem. Any ideas?

  This PC has been infected by a virus previously. However until I did the reinstall I had deleted the partition previous and had the drive reformatted when you set up...

  After a clean install, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything below in order before connecting otherwise the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other disk to the computer:

  1. make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

  2 uninstall all now invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which have perhaps been reinstalled when you reinstalled Windows, run the appropriate removal tool, [1] before installing the antivirus of your choice application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

  3 then only get to Windows Update & get the fully-patched computer! [2]

  4. ensure that Windows Defender is turned on (Vista & Win7) or installed (WinXP)... unless you opt to install Microsoft Security Essentials which will disable the default Defender.

  ... Also ran ccleaner and clean registry, it has not helped either.

  No, it's only issues worse, I assure you!

  TIP: If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

• How long does take to install updates for Windows Vista after a new installation?

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix an old computer that I had lying around the House. She has Windows Vista installed.

  Today, I performed a clean installation of Windows using the recovery partition to try to make things a little more zippy.

  I know that Windows Vista is released some time ago, so I know there will be lots of updates for me to install. My question is how long approximately would it take to install all updates and get the operating system? It's a very slow computer at first.

  Thank you

  There is no way of knowing.  It is dependent on the speed of your connection, your CPU speed, etc.  They can even not available altogether at the end of standard support for Vista time.

• Cannot install updates for WIndows - error 80070490 and installation disc?

  original title: error 80070490 and installation disc?

  Dell, Vista, x 64 laptop.

  I can not install updates, including Service Pack 2 and IE 8. I managed to fix the other error messages, but this one is a winner.

  I can't follow the steps here because I don't have an installation DVD. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and did not come with a disc because everything was preinstalled. Even if I had a disc, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD-ROM external drive when it is plugged in (a problem at a time!), so it would always help. "The System Update tool does not work on this machine, probably because of that pesky little" compatible operating systems: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 "requirement. I so need SP2 to download the tool which will allow my computer to install SP2? Nice little catch-22 there. I agree with the irony. I disagree with not being able to install updates at all, ever.

  Is it possible to re - install without a disk? Can I solve this problem at all or I'll have to take the laptop to Best Buy and ask them to do some voodoo Geek Squad to it?

  Hello

  Check if your computer has a recovery partition.
  If the computer has a recovery partition, use the recovery partition to restore the computer to factory settings.
  Note:   All programs and data will be lost.  You can make a backup of all important data and reinstall programs.

  You can also contact the manufacturer of your computer, and asking for a disc.

  Hello Shadow

  Maybe a stupid question, but I would like to know why you need to install driver WLAN. As far as I know your laptop comes with Vista Home Premium. The recovery image (factory settings) contains the right WLAN driver.
  You have lost the feature or what?
  Are you still using an original preinstalled OS or you try ti install your own operating system?
