How can I get my computer to windows update?
Windows has not been updated since October 20. I tried to update manually and received the error code 80070424: Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
I don't know what the problem is either. I looked through similar threads on this site, but did not encounter anything useful.
My computer is more than a year and it runs windows Vista. I have no install or remove all programs since September.

Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.
How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.
I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:
Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive. SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max. Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.
Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive). To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp. For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc
There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
http://safelyremove.com/index.html Among other features:The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7: How can I get this program in Windows Vista?
I recently got a new computer, how can I get this program in Windows Vista.
Since you are not the original poster - and this thread is since September 2009, almost a year ago - I don't know anything about your computer or its issues. If you do not have the same problem as the OP and try to install an older version of Roxio Easy Media Creator in Vista, then the answer is the same for you: buy a current version program that will do what you want. Scanning is managed by your printer/scanner software. How manipulate recorded images is then up to you to do some image editing programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?
Hello Bob w. NY
Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.
As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

Connect computer to internet automatically switch on
How can I get my computer to automatically connect to the internet? Currently, I have to press Fn F1 to activate the WLAN - not something huge, but a tad boring. Another computer on the same network will connect automatically in setting in motion.It is a 'feature' of the particular computer you are using. Take a look at the manual; It may be a setting in the BIOS to turn on the wireless on startup.
