Fix Windows 7 "communications".

Windows lost access to Internet.

[Caused by malware that messed up ms dll.]

Have deleted the corrupted elements, etc.

Final step is to...

«Then uninstall/resinstall communications in Add/Remove of---> installing windows replaces winsock without having to reinstall windows.»

My question is where can I do this?

From the control panel or the DVD?

When I run the Windows installation DVD, it appears the only option is to install a new copy of Windows. I would like to avoid that and replace only the missing elements.

Thank you

Ralph

You can perform a "repair" of the dvd installation to solve these problems.  Boot from the dvd and find the "repair my computer" (sorry I'm not on win 7 atm so cannot give more specific information)

As usual, you should always back up just in case.

    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you found error 80070422 when checking for Windows updates. This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    1. The Windows Update database is damaged.
    2. Antivirus software is configured to scan the folder % Windir%\SoftwareDistribution.
    3. Service (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not receive a content link header.
    4. A required system file is incorrectly registered.

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1

    I suggest you to check if you are able to access Windows Update services and also make sure that the following services are started. If it is not started, follow the listed below as follows:

    a. press the Windows key + R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) in the Run dialog box to start, and press enter.

    b. Locate the Windows Update service.

    c. right-click on the Windows Update service and select Properties.

    d. in Startup type, select enable.

    e. click Start under Service status.

    f. click OK.

    g. Repeat steps c to f for the following services :

    CSP & Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

    If these steps do not help to solve the problem, you can proceed to the step below and check.

    Method 2

    Step by step instructions for the fixed number.
     
    (a) press the Windows key + X , and then select (Admin) command prompt.
       
    (b) on the prompt window open copy and paste commands (all at once)
     
    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc
     
    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    Ren SoftwareDistribution.old C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

    Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    (c) wait for the course to complete.
     
    (d) close the command prompt.

    Now, try to reinstall Windows updates and check if it helps.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.
