  • I get an error code 643 during the installation of Windows updates.

    Security updates will not download.  Tried all the "fix - its" from the microsoft support site.  Downloaded microsoft security definitions.  A virus scan.  Nothing works. Are still unable to update.   Error code is Ox643, tried all the "fixes" for the error codes. Help?

    Original title: updates will not download which gives the error code Ox643.  Tried all the fixes nothing works

    The good news is that these are NOT updated for Windows. They are simply updated for .NET Framework 1.1.

    If you can not solve this problem, I suggest you uninstall this framework (and all the updates, which can be uninstalled everything first) using Add / Remove programs in Control Panel.
    If you need this particular setting down the road (and you very well might never need!), you can always install it then.
    In the future, only install the critical security updates for WINDOWS. Avoid the optional software and hardware updates, since it is more trouble than they are worth. :-)

  • accidentally turned off during the update of windows

    Guys, im using sony vaio with vista premium OS and it is automatically updated, I had used to remove my battery for use at home, during the update of windows, I accidentally kick off the power cord and it disconnected from the main power switch and turned off, when I open it I saw a note on the bottom right 'tm this copy of windows vista is not authentic.

    someone could help me on this guys, how can I do recover without reformatting my laptop.

    Please help me guys...

    Thanks in advance...

    Needless to say, cutting the current during the update process can cause all sorts of problems - many not even related to the update itself.  It is a common branching.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but it might.  It's worth a try (and it can be useful if there are other problems that you have not yet detected).  Whether or not it works, you will need to re - install the update (and this time won't turn off - LOL).

    If you still have the problem of validation after system restore, and then click Start / computer / system properties and check the bottom of the Activation section.  Your system always shows that it is enabled?  If this isn't the case, then reactivate.  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    If this does not resolve the "not genuine" message, please post your problem in the Windows Genuine Advantage Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads , where the experts on this kind of problem will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  They will probably ask you to run a program and download the results so they can examine in order to find the problem - just follow their instructions.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
