• Re: Vista SP1 - cannot see in "windows update".

  Hello

  you just bought Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and when I look at the updates, I don't see anything on vista SP1. I can do, or there is no need to download SP1?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I agree with Jason. Sooner or later, you will see that SP1 listed in Windows update Center.
  To install SP1, you must use the automatic update of Windows because the size is much smaller.

  OS: Windows XP: SP3

  I currently have problems to connect to Windows Update. I can't connect to the site at all and is the "this page cannot be displayed" whenever I try to open it. When you try to update Microsoft Security Essentials, I get error 0x80072EFE. I have already reset Windows Update by the fix in default and in aggressive mode with nothing doesn't.

  EDIT: I also ran several different viruses, malware, and trojan scanners so I'm probably clean them.

  PART A: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4 reset the Windows Update components (again), restart & test: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

  PART B: If no subscriptions of your previously installed antivirus applications expired (if only for a few hours or days) before you replaced by another AV application, see...

  Hi trski,

  I recommend you to check for possible malware program.

  1 restart the computer using safe mode with networking. If you have a Type of Internet connection wireless, have a wired internet connection. To restart in Mode safe mode with networking:
  a. press the restart.
  (b) at the moment you press the restart button, keep tapping F8 until that Advanced Boot Options appears.
  c. Select Mode safe mode with networking
  2. open the Web browser to explore and go to http://safety.live.com.
  3 scan the OneCare Safety Scanner full Service.
  4. take note of the items that are detected, but cannot be deleted, as appropriate. Get back to me with the names of the infections that cannot be removed, if necessary.
  5. after removing the infection (if any), start in Normal Mode by restarting just the normal computer like you do it.

  Run Windows Update again, and get back to us with your findings.

  Hello

  References for Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Updates page is closely related to IE - look for something blocking.

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
  "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
  are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

  Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
  are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

• Windows installed the automatic windows update agent and I would appreciate help with the settings option in this newly installed agent update so no update never install or download unless I choose to do.

  Hello.

  I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.

  Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226

  I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.

  With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.

  I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.

  Below chose correctly when the new program installed today.  That's how I still want the settings to be:

  Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install

  Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.

  There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.

  Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.

  Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.

  Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)

  Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.

  Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)

  Allow all users to use installed on this pc.
  
  Option 3: (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.)  If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)

  Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows

  Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).
  
  See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Take care! :)

  Hello

  The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.

  1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.

  2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.

  3. it will let you know when they become available.

  4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.

  Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

• Cannot use the WIndows updates in Windows XP

  Original title: re-installed windows XP Home Edition and the service packs, causing problems

  I recently had to reinstall windows XP home, service Pack 1, 2, and 3.  I can't access updates on the microsoft site.  After the screen that shows that he is control of my computer and then taking me to the 2 choices for the updates - I usually choose recommended but regardless because green lights scroll in an infinite loop and I never move forward.  I used the program microsoft Fix that always finds a problem then it looks more problems which it said it fixed.  I think it is "down" for me.  After a more thorough review of the details, I read that the update files were not where they should have been.  Sometimes at startup, I get a message of recovery of the Windows registry, which reads "one of the files containing the system's registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or other copy.  Recovery succeeded.  I have problems with IE8 and Firefox browser have to close unexpectedly, but I hope it's because I need these updates.   I'm not terribly techno warned, so if anyone can offer some advice thanks to use the KISS method - keep it Simple Sweetheart.  Thank you.

• Error number: 0x800CCC0E in Windows Mail on the attempt to send email following October 2013 automatic Windows update

  Immediately following October 10, 2013 Windows Vista update automated - 25 updates is installed on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and HP Pavilion Desktop - cannot send emails from a computer using Windows Mail - they return both the same error message: "failed to connect to server...". "Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10013, error number: 0x800CCC0E".  E-mail can still receive however on both machines.  There is no problem whether the sending of emails minutes before the update took place.  Anyone who has known (and solved) this problem?

  Postscript: problem solved - on both my laptop and desktop, I discovered that under Windows Mail > tools > accounts > (my tiscali account) > properties > servers, the entry for the outgoing (SMTP) mail has been entered incorrectly as smpt.tiscali.co.uk.  This change of smtp.tiscali.co.uk solved the problem on both machines.

  Windows Mail worked perfectly on both machines immediately before Windows update Oct 10 - so it seems that the update must have corrupted a file to install Windows Mail on my two computers.  Not sure how other users may be affected by this...

  Perhaps Microsoft could take a look?
