How can I remove updates for Windows Vista? Duplicates are KB976325, KB973917, KB974318. The system still wants to install updates and just duplicates on again once. First update list has 20, second and third about 18.
Duplication did not begin until I tried to load the list of updates. Continues to tell me the same updates are available and download them if allowed. Only the update that has been update group above that does not DOWNLOAD is Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista, which I am downloading now. When I go to 'historic day' to remove duplicates as indicated in the instructions for help. duplicates above are not listed. Of the; folding situation is on a Gateway laptop. I am writing this issue on my Gateway PC.
LiveUpdate install updates for your Symantec/Norton application only.
Don't worry what you see in the installed updates or unable to uninstall the 3 updates, simply 'hide' and move.
1. stop the automatic updates service:
Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
Double-click automatic updates > click stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)
2 remove the contents of the download folder:
Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
(type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the download folder and delete its content
Close the window.
3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right-click on KB976325 KB973917 and KB974318, in turn. Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.
4. start the automatic updates service:
Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
Double-click automatic updates > click Start
(Stopping the service will take a moment)
=====================================
To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

Hello
The hard drive on my ispiron 530 has recently developed a fault and damaged my version of windows Vista.
One of my friends then installed a copy of windows 7, I think now is an illegal copy because it requires an activation key, that I don't have.
How can I get a copy of windows vista to re - install on the computer and I can use that came with my system activation key to activate it.
Thank you
Hello
Call Dell and ask them to provide you with a recovery disk to reinstall back to the factory settings.
Manufacturers that make normally for a fee.
Recovery of computer manufacturers discs normally do not require a product key of your share entry.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer case will determine which Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.
PS as you do not have a Vista disc read this:
If you have never received a recovery to buying disk, you should have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista from except if it has been damaged or removed from your drive hard when you install Windows 7...
You don't give any information about the replacement of the hard disk. Everything you say is that it developed a fault, that a friend installed Windows 7.
If you somehow fixed it and continue to use this drive, read about it using the recovery partition.
If using a new hard drive to ignore it.

How can I remove shortcut for Manager disk cleanup that presents itself as a pop up.
I have a shortcut to disk cleanup Manager. It appears on my screen as a pop up intermittently and is very annoying. How can I remove this shortcut?
Hello
The only function of cleaning disc in Windows is a tool under properties of a hard disk. So, unless you right click on your hard drive, you have a pop up of malware piece. To get rid of it, I recommend two programs (both freeware). Download, install and run them, and then to quarantine and remove all infections they find:
Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.
SuperAntiSpyware http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.
Then run your antivirus software and the quarantine and remove all the infections it finds. You have an antivirus software? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards
