Code800F900 'unknown error in windows update' trying to download windows vista service pack 2
try to download windows vista service pack 2. Last update was on May 21, 2010. For a few weeks or months, the computer can be terribly slow. Often a hard drive rattle sound. For this, I tried anti-spyware, last week I installed and ran AdAware from lavasoft. It found nothing except two small cookies. A few weeks earlier, I had done the same thing using windows Defender. Also nothing. Along with a check disk hard I did not find much either. What end of the lifecycle for this computer, now about 3 years? He was one of the first available vista computers. Thank you for your help, Peter

Why did you delete your post where you said that Norton application has been installed at some point in the past?
There is nothing wrong with the guarantee of these forums, but I'd be willing to bet that there is something VERY wrong with the security of your computer!
Let's cut to the Chase. See...
Cleaning a compromised system

Can someone tell me how I can access the internet on my laptop to someone else's House?
I want to take my computer on a visit, I can access the internet at home someone else with their supplier?
Hi Huw,
If it is a WIFI connection and they provide the access codes and Setup appropriate (and maybe even if they are not depending on how they are configured), it should be no problem. You will probably need to create a new connection to connect to their network and possibly another new connection to connect to internet (if they are separated). I created portable work of my wife to work from home in less than 5 minutes.
If you need to connect with a cable, then you need a cable and they need a way to connect to their network or their internet connection or even a computer connected to the internet connection can be used by ICS to give you access (even once, after you have setup the proper connections and codes installation).
The following may or may not be of help (although designed for Vista, you can get the general idea on their part and XP and W7will be similar and you should be able to work out the differences - if not, look how configure wireless internet access in "The BONES" of aid):
Here is a tutorial on how to set up a home network (including a wireless)-click on additional links for more information that may be helpful: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Setting-up-a-home-network.
Here is an article on troubleshooting network connections wireless (with links): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-network-connection-problems.
Here's a long guide on wireless internet connections in Vista: http://www.techwarelabs.com/guides/misc_mod/vistaconnection/.
Here is an article on how to set up wireless internet in Vista: http://www.clpgh.org/usingthelibrary/technology/wireless/WindowsVista.pdf
The truth is it is relatively easy and is done all the time by many people. Think about all the people with laptops who take their origin and work at the same time and maybe even at Starbucks.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

I was trying to set up a homegroup on my main computer, but on the second computer, I never had the opportunity to join the homegroup. I'm sure that I have everything set up properly, but I can't get the second computer to join.
I have a switch that my internet runs and a cat cable goes to each computer. Each computer can access the internet without any problem, but none appear in other network list. They have the same name of working group, I just can't understand it. I use Windows Firewall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe this can help.----------------------
Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.
Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.
Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .------------------------------
If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.
