  • How can I activate the Windows Update Service?

    I had to restore my kids PC. Windows Update gives me a message that it is not running and I need to restart the PC. I've done several times, and Windows update still does not work. I passed through TaskManager, Services and found Windows Update and tried rebooting from here. It still does not. How can I get the update of Windows running service?

    Hello

    (a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.

    (b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.

    (c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\

    (d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.

    • I do not understand the instructions above.  I have log on as an administrator.  Where exactly is the place to solve this problem?  Thanks a lot for helping me.

    Yes, Mr. Difficulté tried it 50202 and nothing worked.  I was looking forward to a solution, so I ended up doing a system restore complete with discs that I did when I had this computer.  Then I did an inplace upgrade.  Still so many problems.  After hours and hours, I finally got to meet up with a working computer.  Thanks for your help.  You know much more that I do all of this.

  • How can I activate the rapid development.  It is grayed out and inaccessible why this phenomenon happens?

    I bought and used LR 5.7 and can't get the rapid development in the work Panel.  It is grayed out and unavailable.  It would be a great time saving tool, if it was available, why would this happen.  I paid for the whole programme then why not work?

    The only reason I can think of, is that you do not have a selected image.

    Hey gd6784,

    There are several versions of Yahoo Mail and they are each a little different. Without knowing which version you use, it is difficult to help. I suggest you look at the Yahoo Mail support documentation such that he'll have more detailed information.

    If you are looking for "out of office" in their documentation you will see different articles that explain how it works and it will tell you which version of Yahoo Mail each article applies to.
