• Frustration of Windows Update... need help

  I am trying to help my sister with the speed of his laptop computer.  It is an Acer Aspire 5570-2792.  He had become so slow that it took 10 minutes to start and enter fully into the Vista environment.  Finally, I ran the utility which formats the hard drive and restores the computer to the State nine factory, with Windows Vista Home Basic as the operating system.  After doing this, the fantastic ran computer with no problems at all.  It fully charged in about 1 minute Windows and programs such as Internet Explorer load into memory and ran as fast as 15 seconds.  Not bad at all.  However, when the updates of Windows started coming in (83 in total), they have installed (for about 14 hours, even on a DSL connection, to download), the computer is now just back to where it was before and perhaps worse.  It takes 10 to 15 minutes to start under Vista, and it takes more than 2 minutes for Internet Explorer start.  It's frustrating and absolutely unacceptable.  Please help... What can I do to run as if he had not all of these updates it slows it drastically this computer.  Please... it's just awful.

• I'm very frustrated with Windows Update after receiving the error code 80070005

  After receiving the error code 80070005 for these last months.  I tried several suggested corrections but have not been able to get updates either.  My operating system is Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Windows operating system and have service pack 2 installed.  any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  As I said that it is a very difficult issue to resolve.

  Did you use all of these methods, including the last link to the other thread?

  If you have used all then possibly an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation might
  help that allows to maintain the programs and data backups although redundant
  are always a good idea.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
  machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
  good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

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

  If nothing works then, you can use BING or Google and search for all types of suggestions
  many whom will be totally false.

  Perhaps the best choice is a new installation. You can use copy and paste to the backup
  the data on CD, DVD, or USB drives.

• Windows Update crashed my computer, sending me into the 'frustration after the reboot loop.' I use Vista, by the way. (Even worse!)

  Hi MS. victims (be strong!)

  I have the same problem about the update of windows. What happened was that I had put just internet access at home, so I was invited later to "new windows updates available" so I agreed. After about an hour (because he was that much) it was done and was ready to be restarted. so I restart my computer without hesitation because I had already created a restore point. The Blue Screen of Death. so he started to happen... the "loop." no Safe Mode. no last good configuration that worked. No command prompt. none worked. I mean, it's just bad.

  Victims of the SP, please help. I use vista, by the way. even worse!

• 'Check' updates from Windows Update is stuck after that I have reset my laptop

  I refreshed and reset my laptop but it will always get stuck 'Check updates' and everything works so slow... than ever before.
  Is this a problem with my hard drive?

  OloberSaiko

  Sorry, but your reset laptop reset Windows Update.

  I recently had to do this in one of my PC and it took three days complete (!) for the Windows Update process finish.  One day find updates, one day to download and one day to apply.

  To add to the frustration, during downloads, progress 'freeze' to zero percent!

  So, I had it got stuck - but she didn't - and this is important!  Go to C:\Windows\Distribution.  If there are files and folders, Windows Update works, it is simply not updated status information.

  You can check that from time to time, and while its download yet, he will continue to grow.  As long as there are files and folders there DO NOT shut down your PC!  This will force again when you reboot.

  Sorry... but you just have to leave it on and it will run its course.

  Good luck

• Windows Update failed. Get the error code 646.

  I am trying to install windows updates.  Service pack updates and Office (15 updates total office).  Updates download and go through the installation process.  But I got an error code (646) until the installation is complete.  I even tried to install updates at the time and still the same results.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled ofice.  Still a no go.  Help someone who has an answer.  It's really frustrating.

  OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.

  Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:

  (1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
  (2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
  4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
  (5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.

  I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.

  I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!

  I hope this helps! Good luck!

• The configuration of Windows Update loop again and again and again...

  While on my computer, I received a pop-up to restart my computer for Windows updates.  I fact and 2 of the 3 downloaded.  For the 3rd, my computer restarts, the vista logo appears and the screen is blue saying 'configuration update 3 of 3 0% complete'.  The problem is it never moves 0, constantly restarts itself and has been done for more than a week (I can't leave my computer on all day).  I'm frustrated and want to come back on my computer, but no matter what I do (restart it, put it in safe mode...) it won't go past the updates configuration message.  What should I do to fix my computer and have it show the office, etc. ?

  Hello

  To see the version of Windows - Start - type in the search box-> Winver find at the top of the list and double-click it.

  (Or for XP Start - Run - type Winver hit)

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

• Windows Update makes my Word 2007 not operable

  Last night, I was working in a Word 2007 document information transfer to another program from him. The detected Windows icon appeared in my taskbar. I does not pay attention to the icon of update of Windows and in about a minute or two my screen erased and then in a phase 3 update of Windows. When the updated, the Word document is returned to the screen. The program was closed as I was transferring information by Windows I assume that the work has been lost. Anyway now when I open my Word 2007 I get a program not responding do not error. I have the installation for Office CD, but I don't know if that will fix the problem as it will be the same word that no longer works. I really think that Microsoft should not perform these updates in this way because he would have been the same if I had steeped in my PC and left the open note. Everyone should have the last word when their computer is being updated. After all, it's a mine not Microsoft or any other software company. I lost a lot of work and I do not have a program of orocessing of words. You can not get a response from Microsoft without a product ID. It is not just great for trying to get into a program they made trash and will not open. Someone at - it solutions that they can suggest to solve my problem.

  Hello Jim Morecraft,.

  Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I understand your frustration regarding this issue; I will do my best to put your PC to work again. Since the issue you described in your post, said after Windows update, I would recommend that we start with the help of the System Restore tool to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before this problem started. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type System Restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click on Next.

  3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  4. click on finish.

  5. the computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Second, you can configure Windows update to where you decide whether to perform the update or not.

  If it is a problem of update, the best way to solve this problem is to apply only updates one at a time to determine which updates is causing this problem.

  Click on Start -> all programs -> Windows Update, click change settings in the left menu. Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them, click OK. When you are alerted to install a new update, this window, click on view available updates, uncheck all updates and select one at a time, install it, restart your computer, test and update. Once you find the update either continue to ignore it, or look for it at http://support.microsoft.com/

  You can also post back with update KB number, you are having problems with.

  If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance.

  All the best...!

• Windows Update error number: 0 x 80248015

  I have problems to download/install updates to Windows.  I tried every fix I can think of and nothing works.  This is the story of what I did.

  It is a new installation of Windows XP SP2 virtual machine.  Here are the steps I've done (the first 3 are in order):

  -Install SP3 manually

  -Manually install IE8

  -Install .NET Framework 2.0

  From there, I tried (in no particular order):

  -Check the schedule date/time/time zone (since it is a Virtual Machine, he grabs this information from the physical machine, which is correct)

  -Change the time for the wrong settings on object, and then restart the virtual machine

  Download/install the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 Update Agent

  -Run the FixIt MS on this site

  -Clear all settings of Internet Explorer Proxy

  -Stop/start/restart the BITS and the automatic update services

  -Run the FixIt MS from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en-us?p=1

  -Add the following sites to the "Trusted Sites" zone

  -http://*.windowsupdate.Microsoft.com
  -https://*.windowsupdate.Microsoft.com
  -http://download.windowsupdate.com
  -Reset all Internet Explorer settings

  -After the reset Internet Explorer settings, when I return to the Windows Update site, I wonder to run the ActiveX module.  No matter if I click on "Run on this website", or "Run on all Web sites", it immediately gives me "error number: 0 x 80248015.

  -J' have also made sure to restart my machine virtual if or not he asked me after each correction, just in case.

  Here are all the corrections that I found through my research, and I'm starting to get frustrated.  Any help is appreciated, because I'm out of ideas.

  OK, I don't know if this has helped anyone, but I just got the virtual machine to allow me to find updates.

  I went to control panel-> updates automatic and clicked on the link "Windows Update Web Site" and it took me to update.microsoft.com and now he's let me install updates.

  I do not think that it was important in different ways, that I tried to install the updates, but for some reason, this one worked.
