  Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641, who has had a lot of answers posted but none does not seem to work and I tried to install this upgrade for the last 6 months! (I did one where you made sure something is running in the Control Panel, but it works just not - I HATE Vista!)

  Now just got a new error code: 6 to 8.

  The updates, I can't update (!) are:

  1. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4
  2. Update of security for MSOffice 2007 System
  3. Update for MS 2007 Office system
  4. Update for MSOffice Outlook 2007 Junk email filter

  Looks like the video camera (Sony trv608) is not compatible with windows vista, see the Sony link below:

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/us/Perl/SWU-download.pl?upd_id=1452&MDL=CCDTRV608

  () Vista drivers are not available)

  You try to install the software that came with the device in windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode. See the link below:

  Run the program compatibility Wizard

  1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking on use an older program with this version of Windows.

  2. follow the directions in the wizard.

  You the best solution would be to check with Sony to learn more.

• When you try to open internet w/Firefox, I get a message asking me if I want to update. I think maybe it is an invader on my desktop computer. How can I fix it?

  In my taskbar, I click the Mozilla icon and most often the ' net opens automatically. Yesterday, this has changed; I click and get a message asking me if I want to use the 'updater' for updating my Mozilla. I think I have a virus or something on my system and want to know 1) how can I check for an invader. (2) how can I get rid of him?

  Hi, in case of doubt, to check updates, open the 3-bar menu > help (question mark below on the right) > on Firefox.

  Hi Karen,.

  I suggest you perform upgrade in-place from Windows XP. This operation reinstalls Windows XP to the same folder on your computer where it was originally installed.

  However, before you perform the upgrade on Windows XP site, back up important data to another location as disc CD/DVD, USB etc.

• How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

  I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.
