Help! -Windows Update stuck on repeat without end (WIN 7 Home Premium)
Last Saturday, I had to do a factory reset on my desktop Dell under Win 7 Home Premium (8 GB of RAM). He gave me some Windows updates, then told me that I had to install the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" It installed successfully but since that time, if I check the updates, it "checks" just continuously for updates and that's it. I let it run all night - nothing. I have received no updates for M/S Office, Windows, or anything else since the update agent successfully installed.
What is the cause? I went to start, all programs, and click Windows Update. I ran Windows Update from the control panel. Same result - nothing.
I'm so frustrated. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Update stuck at 'Check updates'
Original title: Windows Update stuck
I had to recover my laptop windows 7 back to out-of-box state system. Once presented to my office, I immediately went to Windows Update to install all of the updates that I needed. After installing SP1, and restart the computer, windows update to update the update agent, so he could get some more updates. He said he would close and re - open Windows Update, which she did, but now it is stuck on "check updates".
The update that broke the update of Windows was "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"
I have since made a recovery of the system to the State out-of-box three times and each time "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" installs Windows Update is stuck saying "check updates".
I did tons of attempts to solve this problem, but it won't find more updates and I can't install more updates.
I have also experienced problems with Windows Update still looking for updates when Windows Update 7.6.7600.320 has been installed automatically after the system update to SP1 (it was after doing a clean install of Windows 7).
The following worked for me:
1. manually installing KB3083710
2. manually installing KB3102810
3. restart the computer
4. run the Windows Update Diagnostic tool to reset Windows Update (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058)
5 restart the computer again and search for updates

Hi, I'm Amir Ahmad Amiri 16 years of Afghanistan, my windows is Win 7 home Premium and I have a usrer of the admin who is protected by myself and I forgot the password of the user account of the said. The guest account is disabled and I have no CD to repair. Please help me!
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
- Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
- Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
A Windows repair CD is absolutely essential if you decide to do maintenance on your own PC. It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore. You have these options:- Burn it on another computer.
- Borrow one from a friend.

Satellite A660 - update: Win 7 Home Premium to Ultimate
I just bought A660 preloaded with Windows Home Premium 64-bit.
I would switch to Ultimate 64 bits because I need additional features.
I would like to know how to upgrade to Ultimate with a pack of detail without deleting all Toshiba drivers and characteristics.Any suggestion will be welcome!
Hello
You can buy a Microsoft Upgrade.
But to be honest, that I recommend to buy a full version of Win 7 Ultimate and do a clean install.The advantage is that you could install this without early installation of Win 7 Home premium.
For example; If you purchase an upgrade you will need to first install Home Premium and you need to improve this OS to ultimate. This can be annoying if anything goes wrong with OS and you need to install it again
If you buy a ultimate full version, then you can install this OS immediately and directly without having to install Home Premium first.PS: the drivers are the same for Home Premium and Ultimate.

Original title: Error Installing Win Vista Home premium.
I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium. Suddenly, it wouldn't start. I changed the boot CD ROM and put my Vista disc in and tried to do a "repair" that it came with missing engine or something like this. After several attempts, I gave up and formatted hard drive losing all my data and programs (rather difficult to backup files when the computer does not start). So, I tried a complete installation. I put in the license code and he started the installation. After a few minutes, the message came; "Windows Setup could not reset the deployment engine. to install windows, restart the installation. I tried several times including completely turn off the computer for several minutes and try again. I tried several times. I thought oh well, I will install my Windows 7 program (this and never used). Error on this installation was: your CPU is only good for 32 bit and Win 7 I have is a 64-bit version. I'D RATHER INSTALL VISTA BUT need help on the error regarding the deployment engine. Thank you, Lloyd

How to activate Win 7 Home Premium SP1 if I have a product key for Win 7 Home Premium without SP1
I bought the Dell with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I recently had a problem with the firewall system and found that the only solution is to reinstall Windows. I downloaded .iso with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 because my current version has been already upgraded to SP1. After that I installed it, it asked me to enter the product key. I have provided the product key, but he says it's a bad touch and I realized that my product key must be for Windows 7 Home Premium without SP1.
I downloaded .iso with Windows 7 Home Premium without SP1, but I can't install it now because it says that my current version is newer than the one I am trying to install. What can I do about it now? Can I get a product key for Win 7 Home Premium SP1 if I have Win 7 Home Premium? Service pack 1 is free anyway...If you have downloaded a Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 integrated, you should be able to use the product key located on the COA sticker in the battery compartment.
Skip entering product key and complete the installation.
Click Start, right click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click on the link 'change product key '.
Enter the product key located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. Click next to activate via the Internet.

Can I transfer a computer dead for a portable Win 7 Home premium OEM Windows XP?
I can only remote access / VPN my workplace of servers (Cisco), using XP & I can't download XP mode with Win 7 home premium. The XP box is dead since March, & it's the only way I can think to restore my ability to work from home.
How is it, you can only use Windows XP to access the VPN? Cisco came out with Windows 7 and 64-bit software customers just now because so many people had the complaint of the old clients did not work.
Anyway - OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they were installed on. Regardless if this machine was used in a shooting Skeet or succumbs to a natural death, according to the agreement, if the original machine dies (cannot be retrieved), then the license also dies.
I watch (or find work to examine) get the latest version of the Cisco (5.0.07.0290) client, if that is the question. Or you can locate an unused OEM or an unused license Windows XP retail and use VirtualBox to make a virtual machine on Windows 7.
