  • Lost my PS actions when the computer updated for Windows 10

    My actions that I defined/bought no longer appear in the PS since my laptop updated to Windows 10 a few days ago.

    My version of PS is - 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03 / 15:21:00:00) x 32

    Can someone explain how I can re-import my actions (which are very important to me!)?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Elana

    Hi Elana,

    Have you made a backup of the files of these actions before Windows 10 .atn?

    You should look for these .atn files and load them into Photoshop.

    Go to the window actions > click on the drop down at the top right > choose load actions and select the .atn file to load.

  • Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

    Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

    I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

    I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

    But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

    1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

    2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

    3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

    4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

    Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

    IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

    IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

    IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

    5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

    Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

    KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

    There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

    Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

    Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

    But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

    MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

    MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

  • Failure of the security update for Windows xp

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    , Then they have all the same numbers but automatic updates. I do not know why they do not?  Is my computer in danger? What someone knows something about it?  Can someone let me know, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you :)

    Lower-right, now, I get an exclamation icon, when I click on it, it lets me know that I have updates to install, it goes through the whole procedure, but he then shows how they all failed.  Just today, I had 18 of them.  They are all updated for Windows XP security they all begin with (KB) other numbers are all different. (KB978601), (KB979683), (KB978338), (KB979309), (KB981332), (KB977816), (KB980232) Microsoft Update.

    I would try reinstalling Windows Update Agent Installer first.  Here is a link to the Microsoft site that explains how to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104.   Go to the section how to get the last update agent, as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section under the information tab, called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.    Choose the one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.  Check if your updates to install.

    Otherwise, you may need to install manually by following the directions below:

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309)
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) run Microsoft update again, and click Find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    It is always better to stay completely patched, as many of them are security-related.  If the solutions above do not work for you, I recommend that you run a full scan on your computer.

  • Using the media update for windows 7 (from vista), can I now re - install 7 via the clean install option, even if it is the path I have chosen when first installing 7 first?

    With a 7 upgrade version (not the full version) I could not use the upgrade option to install 7 on Vista, because it asked me to uninstall 2 programs that would not work in 7 with installation before you begin.  I couldn't do it because my Windows Installer is missing on my computer. (In fact, I couldn't even run the Windows Upgrade Advisor before proceeding with the installation because this program must be installed on your computer before you can run) So, I chose to use the custom installation and it worked fine, except that my computer is now worse than with vista. Thinking that it was because he kept all the vista files (windows.old) I deleted this file, but he did that give back me my hard drive space. I would like to make a re-install using this same version upgrade disc, but I've heard that I can not do a clean install, if the original operating system is not currently on the computer (using the version upgrade 7, not the full version), and I guess that's is more on my computer with the exception of fragments which I affect 7 performance. If this is true, what should I do? If I have to go to the full version, is there a way I can just pay the difference between what I already bought and version complete, or will lose money that I spent on the upgrade version, and buy the full version outright? Bottom line is this:  I want to just Vista on my computer for GOOD!  I don't want something that looks even left of Vista on my computer. I'm sacrificing all my programs to do it with a clean install, but it's better than all the headaches, I got Vista! Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Mice are not appearing after the last update of Windows 8

    After update to the last version of windows 8, my mouse does not work on my computer no more. I use a "HAMA Optical Mouse AM-5000" and a 64-bit Windows 8 operating system to my office. Before the update, everything worked very well, but a little at the time (perhaps a week?) there was a software update that began when I shut down my computer for the night and after, my mouse wouldn't just appear. Then I want to restore my computer to before the update and everything would work fine. It happened maybe 3 times in the past week. Today, however, every time that I restored it to an earlier date, the mouse still does not. I tried the following things:

    Deactivation and reactivation of the mouse
    Uninstall the drivers and search for updates
    Try different mouse (2 USB, 1 green connector)
    Using the troubleshooting in the Device Manager tool, a fine of the question

    I downloaded the latest drivers from the mouse on the site that you have linked and no change. By chipset are you referring to the processor (Intel i7)?

  • Problems to install the latest updates for windows vista.

    I ran several times automated convenience store. It corrects all but one of the problems found. It is said: problems installing updates, not been resolved in the report.

    I tried to restart the computer, but that did not help either.

    When I run windows update acts as he checks the updates, but does no progress. It is used to take a long time (2 1/2 hours or more) to find the updates. Now just, it works and does not stop.

    I did a manual reset of the update program earlier and it worked, but after the restart to install the updates, the computer would not start up.  I reformatted the computer by reinstalling the software and updates of everything. After obtaining service pack 2, Vista it starts having problems again.
