• I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

  Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

  You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
     http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

  [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

  =============================
  * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

• I can't update of Windows security because of an unknown error. Also, I get frequent BSODS.

  Good, so like I said, when I try to get the security updates, I get a message saying "year error occurred while of updates for your computer." Errors found: Code 80072EFE Windows Update encountered an unknown error. "Code 0 x 80244015 appears when I try the update of Defender.

  I've had this laptop (it's a Toshiba Satellite L305, is told by the way) gave me down and it has a number of problems. Another problem taxing enough, it's that I had frequent dumps. Some programs that I want to uninstall used to uninstall because the uninstall file does not exist. I installed a free Revo Uninstaller Pro trial and that helped, but I still don't know what causes the dumps.

  One of my recent problems with laptop computer is my computer crash dumps whenever I try to open Chrome now. It was working fine, then I would get BSOD as I just described, so I tried to uninstall it and then put it back, and it worked well again for the day, and then it happens again. I think it could be a virus. I also learned that it might be a registry error and I can change my registry, but I know almost nothing about computers, so maybe I need to walk through this.

  I have AVG and I used it to scan the computer and I also scanned with the Defender, and both programs have only seen adware. I don't really think that could do much harm. I'm not sure. Right now, it looks like a big mess of problems.

  I think I should also add that the laptop has no trackpad software installed, or at least that's what it looks like. The former owners told me that the trackpad has never worked. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

  Any advice will help, please leave as much as possible.

  Thank you

  Analyze dump files

   

  If you want to analyze your own dump files. (C:\windows\Minidump).

  
  Download and install the debugging tools for Windows
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/hardware/hh852363
  Install Windows SDK, but simply choose the debugging tools.

  Create a folder called symbols in C:\

  Start Windbg. Menu - symbol file path of the file and enter

   
  SRV * C:\symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

  Close, and then reopen WinDbg. File menu - Open Crash Dump

  It will analyze the crashdump. You must close and reopen WinDbg for each analyzed dump file. Because you download symbols from the internet WinDbg seems to be to do nothing. But it's the download. Be patient.

   
  Looking for a driver or a library system that the incident occurred at the end of the list. Find the file, do a right click then Properties - Details tab. You must update the driver identified.

  Type in the theWinDbg command prompt

   
  ! analyze - v

   

  -v means Verbose and if the accident was created by a program, as opposed to hardware or a driver, it will appear in the middle of the list.

  Or download files minidump to your Public SkyDrive folder and copy the link in the address bar, and I'm going to do an analysis.

   

  SkyDrive is the download file from Microsoft, Windows Live, at https://skydrive.live.com/site.  Read about it at http://explore.live.com/skydrive.

  If you have downloaded one of the Live applications or a website based Live
  e-mail, you already have access to your Skydrive account.

• Can I update to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows Vista Edition full 32 bit?

• Can I update my Y410 laptop graphics card (7757)? He already have Intel 965 express chipset...

  I think if I can add a graphics card for my laptop and it is it will work properly?

  I know, another technique of Y410 comes with the NVIDIA graphics card, and I wonder if it can be added to my laptop.

  For your info, my laptop runs on Windows XP with Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM DDR2 (800 Mhz)

  One last thing, what is the maximum RAM I can use in windows XP?

  The GPU is not extensible. I had a Y410 at some point. I also wanted to know if I can move to a better GPU from Intel built-in one. Unfortunately, laptops with an integrated GPU Y410 is the port required for a discrete GPU. Unfortunately, this is the case with most laptops with integrated graphics.

• Can't update without Windows of self-destruction!

  After the update a few weeks ago... Bad software removal tool... My father PC had white exclamation points all on that screen P.O.S.T.... then the screen would go and NOTHING...! Restart, and then go to the Startup Repair tool... Windows Startup Repair tool cannot fix... you want to restore?... long story short... so the only thing that worked was a REINSTALL FACTORY...

  NOW... I can't update anything... Update Windows and not even a no driver for the graphics card! If I... I will return to white exclamation on fullscreen P.O.S.T.... then NOTHING... points! I've restored the system several times and tried to update, only to have this accident to happen once I update... There's something like 83 updates and it's too much to try to step up to the problem... Heck I think is not yet get it until the first service pack!

  On top of OFF... Microsoft tool for support does not even recognize its product ID... even when I enter it manually... all YES, I'm in the correct information!

  As you can imagine, it's really a bad situation and bad support (no I don't want to pay Microsoft an another $50) it made it worse. After buying Windows since Win95, Xbox, 4 Xbox 360 (thanks to free material you knew was broken) and a Zune... I really think to change and do not return!

  Someone at - he lived it and managed to isolate the problem... I have the exact system he has, even screen, same graphics card, etc... and I am able to update without ANY problem!

  Thanks in advance! And sorry if I'm angry... I worked on it for about the last three weeks!

I have access to any page but when I try to update windows, it does not work. It may be useful... Before I had tried to open it, it appeared a message on the screen: generic host process for win32 services error and must be closed.
