    I am currently using windows 32 bit vist

    I rebooted, I changed the settings, I don't have a file called window update service in the service section to stop and start, I tried the fix programs, I'm out of ideas and I need help!

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    I suggest you try these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:

For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Method 3: If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, click computer.

    b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log
    Where 'C' is the drive of operating system

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    Hi nanditaberi,

    Since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

    This problem may be caused by this security software on the computer, uninstall them might solve the problem.

    Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

    Important:

    O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

    Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

    O re - install the security software on the computer.

  • error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password.

    original title: remove administrator account or remove password

    I am trying to remove a user administrator account or remove the password and I get the error message below. Also, I can't delete the password as an administrator in Windows 7 32 bit or delete the account. I get this error message "Windows cannot remove the password. "Password policy or account require the account has a password. I tried to create another admin account, but it does however not take away the password or delete the account else

    Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

    Note also that:
    -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
    -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.

    Hi Garry_x,

    1. were you able to use the DVD burner before with no problems?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.
