  • How can I prevent Windows 8.1 update message?

    I use a computer of Windows 8 for the most part of the year. I got the message to update for windows 8.1 download free most of the time. Mid-July, I downloaded it, which resulted in the corruption of my computer systems. I have since registered with recovery media, but still Windows 8.1 update messages. Starting from 04/09/12, have a new message asking me to update it, and specifically her option "remind me later" gives me 2 days according to the message. I have no intend to download Windows 8.1, afraid of the risk of it happening again. I own a Windows 8.1 all-in-one pc, it is not necessary. What must I do to prevent these messages from appearing? I repeat, I did not intend to download Windows 8.1 on my computer Windows 8.

    You can't, sorry.

    I'm sorry you've had experience trying to install, but I recommend trying again.  That's all I can offer.

  • How can I get windows xp updates for later use? What I have to do?

    I use Windows XP SP3 & Windows 7 Ultimate. How can I get updates so that I can install it even after reinstalling windows.

    I want this cause I have to reinstall Windows frequently.

    A much simpler and easier solution is to do a clean install and update and then create an image of your new installation, the next time you need to reinstall Windows you simply restore your image and update the image newly installed and then create an image update for the next installation.  There are many Imaging disc out there, many of them for free.  I prefer TeraByte Image for Windows (not free) for my imaging needs.

  • How can I prevent Windows Media Player rebuilds with duplicate songs, that I deleted?

    I moved my music files in Windows Media player for this computer with a 1 TB harddrive that I use just for storing music on. When I moved the music files from the computer Windows XP first putting them on a hard drive for the copy and paste and then transfer them to the hard drive of my M:\ the drive on this computer, many duplicates were transferred. I want to remove duplicates. I did this by pressing Ctrl and pointing out the duplicates and then pressing DELETE, and they are then deleted. But after that, it is a small blue arrow that goes down in the lower-right corner of Windows Media player from up and said "Equalization of the Volume" followed by the names of the songs, that is to say several times. M:\.... "For Windows Media player media recovery and rebuild as if it was before I deleted the duplicate songs? I want to also all my songs to be the mp3 type and some are mp4, so how do I fix all the songs to make them of type mp3. Thanks for any help.

    MP4 is usually a video file, I honestly didn't even know MP4 pourrait be used for audio, but this is beyond my skills.  I know that to convert files types, you will need to download a conversion program, Microsoft is no not any program that can do this.

    As for the deleted files that appears, open the Organize menu at the top of the media player, select 'manage libraries' and make sure that it is scanning the correct files.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.

  • How can I prevent Windows Update to write data to my external HARD drive

    I have Windows XP running on a controller NI PXI-8106. On this same controller, I have two mapped drives.
    1 C drive where Windows is installed
    2-external SATA drive mounted in RAID0 used to save sensitive data in our application.

    We discovered that Windows update has written files to disk external DRIVE instead of the local drive as we would expected. What could I do to prevent this. It is very important for us, given that the RAID0 data should not be upset by any means. We cannot update Windows to write outside of the C: drive.

    I look on various forums and it seems that I'm not the only one in this situation where Windows Update writes data to an external HARD drive, but I have not seen anywhere a solution to avoid this, in addition to unmaping the drive.

    During the installation of updates, Windows Update downloads the installers (only) for updates to the drive with free space available. You can either disconnect the external drive when you need and/or free up space on, for example, your boot drive.

  • How can I prevent the Win Update insisting that I install something I want?

    I'm having a battle with Win Update - it keeps insisting that I install the update for IE - 8, but I don't use IE, and I'm not IE-8.  How to convince Win Update of this fact?

    Thank you
    John

    Hi drfugawe,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    You should be able to access Windows Update > "select updates to install", right-click on the IE8 update and click "hide update".

    This is to prevent the update to settle in the future.

    Please let us know if that helps.
