Extremely slow/unnecessary Windows Update after system recovery.

• Installation of Windows Mail after system recovery

  Hello. I need help to set up Windows Mail after a system recovery. I have Vista Home premium. My ISP is Comcast, so I have a Comcast email address. I did a full backup on an external HD before the resumption. I have not used Windows Mail since Jan. 27. Since then, I've been access my mail on the site Web of Comcast.

  I need to know the correct sequence of steps to set up Windows mail. Is it to drag the contents of the folder from my outside to my computer? Do I need to configure the info from the first acct (pop etc.) before you transfer the contents of the folder? I want all my old mail book and the address in the new configuration. These seem to be backed up on my external.

  Also once I'm set up should I expect to see all letters sent since Jan. 27? I don't mind what happens. I just want to know what to expect.

  Thanks in advance for your help

  First, set up your account in Windows Mail.   If you want messages that you see in Windows Mail to remain available in Comcast web messaging, configure the account to leave messages on the server. When you click send/receive , it will download all of the messages that are stored on your Comcast email server.

  To import your old messages in Windows Mail, press ALT + F , click on import > Messages > Microsoft Windows Mail 7 > Next , find the mail backup folder and follow the instructions.  The old post will go into a folder called folder imported , and you can move it to other records there if you wish.

  By default, Windows Mail saves its messages in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail.  AppData is a hidden, so turn on the display of the hidden files and folders first.

  To import your contacts, copy them to the contacts saved to the new folder.  By default, Windows Vista stores contacts in C:\Users\\Contacts.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Activation of Windows Vista after system recovery.

  Original title: ID of Windows product and product keys.

  I'm about to buy a HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.  I seriously think about the use of the recovery system to return to its original state.  If everything goes well and I have to activate windows again, I guess I'm going to need a product key and maybe a product ID.  Looking at the system info, I see a product ID of xxxx8-OEM-xxx21xx-000xx, the product key on the sticker on the base is xxxxx-xxxx2-xxxx6-xxxx4-xxxxx.  When I used Magic Jelly Bean to find the product key, it shows a totally different key xxxxx-xxxx8-xxxxQ-xxxx2-xxxxx. Why there are 2 different keys?

  AVH ' old age and treachery always wins over youth and skill! Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings

  Hi skeeterh3,

  To activate Windows, the product ID is not necessarily required.

  If you try to do a system restore, the system cannot ask the product key.

  However, if you need help for activation I recommend you to contact the Center Activation Microsoft.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  Yet, as indicated in The ball , the search results links do not work. I also used several browsers and DuckDuckGo. Maybe it's because the Windows Update Agent was changed some time ago and the article is no longer valid.

  EDIT: If the OP is also struggling to access the link I suggest using repair Windows updates available from tweaking.com. I suggest also using the Registry backup of the same author before hand.

• Gettinng less updates to Windows Update after formatting Windows

  Original title: problem with Windows Update after PC format

  Hello, I have Windows 7 x 64 OEM and today I had to format 6 times my PC because of my graphics card.

  Problem which is the 5th time that I formatted my PC, WU shows me less up to date than the first time. And in format 6, least of all day.

  How can I solve this problem? Thnaks.

  Hi Josele69,

  Whenever you install a new update, it contains the updates released before. If you will get only the recent updates. When you run windows update, you also receive only for new updates when you're done with the updates offered. This might be a reason you found less updates after formatting windows.

  Hello

  Often we see weird behavior as the result of a program of loading during the startup process.

  To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

  The following article describes this process:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Please note that after refine us the cause, it is important that we return to a normal startup and manually delete the startup program.

  We'll do this before uninstalling Service Pack 2.

  If the behavior persists, then we can clean boot, uninstall and reinstall Service Pack 2.

  4. after recovery, your office is always show files that were there before the recovery?

  Describe the very next step you take after you have completed the recovery. The files are still there, but some are missing such as 2007 Microsoft Office and other programs, but my documents are still there

  This means that is non-destructive recovery of Compaq and have without doubt both times. I would say that a re - install destructive is in order and follow my previous instructions that were for a clean install. Note that this will destroy the data so if your data is important you must save it first, ideally twice in two separate devices. If you are worried about data loss, I suggest putting in the hands of a professional, but do not expect to take any responsibility for your data. If someone is able, they may not cover all the possibilities (e.g., disk failure) and we your data must be your responsibility.

  In the light of your PC is one that may require the patch from HP/Compaq AMD I have revised my instructions for you below...

  Print what you want from this Web site that you can access on the PC hit after the new installation. After the installation you're using IE6 that this site does not work with!

  Get these downloads (click the link) and have them on a CD or a USB key (ignore warnings from Microsoft gives you need to be an IT pro or using Windows updates in place)

  SP2 (only if your recovery is a "no service pack at all" XP or is a Media Center XP)

  SP3 (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

  AMD patch (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

  IE8 (do not leave Microsoft direct you to a later version, IE8 is as good as it gets for XP)

  Make sure you have your antivirus solutions and handy greater security as (CD/download).

  • Back up your data
  • Disconnect from the internet (remove the cable Ethernet or a wireless device?)
  • Disconnect all devices except the screen, keyboard and mouse.
  • Make the new facility (the driver installation should not be necessary for a resumption of Compaq)
  • Remove Norton (use the deletion tool that rocks of XP has suggested)
  • Install SP2 (only if there is no service pack at all after the recovery, or it is XP Media Center)
  • Install the patch from HP/Compaq AMD (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install SP3 (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install IE8
  • Install antivirus/security
  • To connect to the internet
  • Update antivirus/security
  • Windows Update
  • Install remaining desired hardware/software
  • Restore your data

  Do not use Windows updates or driver "detectives" update/install drivers.

  Do not try to use Windows Update, until SP3 is installed.

  Do not install IE8 or any other software as long as you are at SP3.

  Make sure to use restore points in case something goes 'shaped pear.
