    cannot install update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Hello, gsfl Jg,

    Open Windows Update and check if KB2686509 and KB2676562 are or are not installed.

    When you tried to install the update, you would have received an error code.  Please return this zip code which lies in Windows Update.

    Why this update is offered again several times?

    Windows updates are revived until the update is installed on your computer. If this update is already, perhaps an installation failure has occurred. Check log files to install KB for the error codes. For example, the log file of installation KB for this security update would probably "C:\Windows\ KB2686509.log"

      Keyboard1.dll.\Layoutfiles\keyboard2.dll C:\Windows\System\Kbda1.dll

      Note In this example, the first entry is just a file name. The second entry includes a relative path with the name of the file. The third category includes a full path of the file.

    2. Copy the files that are listed in the Faultykeyboard.log log file in the System32 folder.

  • Cannot share screens with Skype Windows 8

    I can't share screens with Skype (Windows 8). I've looked everywhere but I couldn't find a solution for this.

    I tried: by clicking on the + button in a conversation as well as just by clicking on the contact and search for screen sharing button. See the two screenshots as an attachment.

    Can someone please help me to find the function of sharing screen on Skype version of windows 8?


    The application of the "modern" of Skype for Windows 8 does not yet support screen sharing.

    If you want to be able to use the screen sharing feature, then you must install the version of office 'normal '.

  • Update code A 80071, 90, also the message cannot install update for microsoft windows KB978262 ActiveX stop bits

    I have many facilities update unresolved that failed, of which several have been labeled 'critical' is it possible that these updates were for windows 7 instead of my program which is the version of microsoft windows vista 6.0 over a few more numbers after that.

    Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.  It is not possible for Windows Update in order to send updates for the wrong operating system (but I can't go further and say that it is impossible, even if I never heard talk of such a thing).

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and then make the facilities.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  • Cannot install updates manually after Windows reboots

    Original title: updates do not.

    So I decided to reset Windows since I think I accidentally installed a few programs on drive C instead of d, and try to solve this problem would be like finding a needle in a haystack
    Thanks for the effort though.
    1 question though, since I have provided zero everything I have these 144 important updates that keep do not manually install.
    Should I just let it install on itself eventually?
    And then I start to download steam games and play them even if the updates are not complete?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi John,.

    I understand that you have reset your computer and therefore you can not find the installed applications.

    Reset your PC reinstall Windows and deletes all files, settings and applications, apps that came with your PC are stored, so you will not be able to find these applications.

    As far as updates are concerned, I suggest you to install automatically as it will only install updates that are applied to your computer that are required.

    You should be able to play the games, even if the updates are not installed.

    If you get an error message or facing difficulties during the installation of an update, please get back to us with the error message so that we can help you.

    Hope this information helps, let us know if you need help with Windows.

    Hi MrPeanut,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

    This problem can occur because the device sends data of strength of signal for Windows. These data can be interpreted as input device real, such as the movement of the mouse, button activity or strikes. Therefore, this transmission can prevent Windows mode 'sleep'. Windows must enter "sleep" mode to activate the screen saver.

    I suggest that you update the drivers for all devices on the computer entry. You can update the drivers from Device Manager and check.

    See the link for update drivers: update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work-good

    If the problem persists, then I suggest that you uninstall the update from Add/Remove programs in the control panel.

    Now, download you the link that resets the update reset Windows components from the following link: How to reset the Windows Update components?: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Now start you the Windows updates and check.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...
