HP Pavilion Desktop family vista premium sp2, lost whole Update window. Recovery of the aid.

Lost all the windows update history.how I get it back

History of the update is not important, it's the installed updates is important.

If you renamed/deleted the folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, that would make you lose your history.

  • Family Vista premium SP2 - NAS - I can see it, can open its highest level, can go through it with the windows Explorer - strangely I can browse it with windows internet explorer 8 - what's up with windows Explorer?

    I have a WD NAS, who has worked through my Explorer windows until recently - now I can access only through Internet Explorer 8 using FTP.

    I use to be able to open the windows Explorer and able to 'network' and click on the NAS and enter my name/password and access all folders and files to the breast. Now I go into windows Explorer and I can see the NAS and I can click on it and enter my name and password, and it shows even the top-level folders-

    I can't do any further due to the standard contextual windows alert, and the message goes between the "network name is not available" and the message "already mapped the drive. I have not noticed a model and did not install anything at the same time. Don't try to do wireless, the NAS is ethernet wired to my router and my router to my computer - no router updates/changes - no updates/changes NAS - no I do not have the mapped drives sitting over there, yes I'm admin on the computer and the NAS server - there is no noticeble change I can find - not firewall , no anitvirus, no microsoft updates - anything good for troubleshooting?

    Anyone has an idea why only windows Explorer fails now to be able to access the NAS, esp when FTP with internet explore works fine? Thank you!

    Hi livelabel,.

    Please use the forum for answers,

    You can uninstall all the driver/software HP printer utilities.  Visit the HP Web site for the last download driver and utility, reinstall them after rebooting your system.
    Also contact HP any known issue with SP2 for your printer model.  Make sure that file for the print job size is not greater than the printer can handle.

  • Family Vista premium must reinstall.

    My family vista premium OS needs to be charged and I don't know how to do this on the internet without having to pay for a new. How can I download and use my old key?

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Vista 64 SP2: when you run windows update, trustedinstaller takes 100% of one of the drivers for more than 20 minutes

    I recently bought a new computer, when I run Windows Update there is a process called TrustedInstaller.exe, taking 100% of one of the cores for a very long time (> 20 minutes).

    I have vista 64 SP2 and all updates installed (took me over 3 days to complete).

    Also, when I try to install additional features of windows (for example. IIS) the same thing happens, trusteinstaller takes 100% of the base and install new features forever.

    I have not installed additional software so far is very little probable that a virus or spyware is the cause. When I'm not updating the an or install features of windows, the computer running quickly and the cpu load is not high at all.

    How long was the computer connected to the internet before you installed Avast?

    Can update you Avast manually?

    The above, see if a reset fixes the problem:
