  • Windows Update program very slow to download updates

    I have windows vista Home premium installed on my PC.  Whenever I try to install updates by using the Windows Update program, updates take a long time to download.  Today (Sunday December 19 09 09:30-11:30 - Australia, Melbourne time) I tried to download 6 updates of 7.3 MB in size, and it's always full to 98 per cent.  It is not my internet connection, I can view web pages from the USA and the Australia quickly enough that I download updates.  In my view, that the problem is a problem of Microsoft server.  It is almost impossible (in addition to a lot of wasted time) to keep windows up-to-date with this ridiculous of download speeds.  I regularly have to quit smoking, and then try again.  Whenever I try to update my Windows operating system I experience these low download speeds.  I don't feel these issues with other web pages / other applications (for example SUN's Java) which updates can be very large!

    Can anyone help fix this problem.

    my PC connects to the internet through a wireless USB...

    Ah! Long story, short version: find a fixed connection (DSL or cable) connection or a reliable & strong WiFi connection (for example, at the House of a friend, your school or public library), and then run Windows Update manually.

    99% (AKA critical) Important security updates are released on the second Tuesday of each month (for example, Jan 12-10; 09 Feb-10; & ff) about 12 times noon Seattle (USA) (which would be the second Wednesday of each month in Melbourne). Do yourself a favor and make a mental note to use such alternative access & update manually on the second Wednesday or Thursday of each month you will be sure to keep your computer fully patched.

    Long version: the popularity of connections 'WiFi' rises, we find that the more reports in addition to this problem in these forums and discussion groups. I suspect that these connections 'wifi' are either not strong enough or coherent enough to be used for purposes of automatic update. Assuming that Microsoft Update is your source of default update, [1] it can take 45 minutes or more for you to update manually. Automatic updates can take days to download/install updates, according to the request of the server.

    In another answer, I will post some tips Vista SP2 installation for you.

    PS: Your "wireless internet" connection might be good enough if the signal is strong enough (for example, 4 to 5 bars on your mobile phone). Then again, YMMV.

    =================
    [1] "what are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    "While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC. »

    update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    Hey lasdj,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

    To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

    Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

    Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

    See the links below for more details:

    Welcome to Microsoft answers community forum!

    This day stanalone you trying to install?

    Try to install the update in safe mode.

    Try to install the update in safe mode and see if you are able to install. Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    To start in safe mode, follow the steps below:

    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

    2   , do one of the following:

    ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    3. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select the option of safe mode you want and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

    4 log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

  • his lost after windows update

    Windows Update ran on August 3 and August 4, 2010. After one of these updates, I lost sound. How will I know that update has been the cause of my loss of sound? I have to go remove each update one by one until I have to get sound or y at - it an easier way? I am running Windows XP as SP3 OS.

    Mike,
    You have several sound devices on your system? for example , is there an audio set (blue, pink and green 1/8 "female audio taken audio) on your motherboard, as well as a set on an expansion card?  If so, you may need to select the correct sound playback and recording device in the tab "sounds and Audio devices" control panel "Audio".

  • Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Elite: I've lost my Windows update history

    I have put in some way my windows7 desktop computer so that only updates are displayed via the Control Panel & View Update History. It started quite recently & as far as I can tell there were no problem, but if a problem any occurred, it might be useful to review the history of update. My Vista laptop displays up to date all the way back to 2009.

    Online search, gave information about the deletion of the history log (without removing the updates, of course).  This is not what I want, but a couple I looked on says that the story would begin again accumulate.

    I would like to restore the full history, including all recent updates log, if possible. If this is not possible, I would like to at least repeat history acummulating.

    Is this possible? If so, how?

    Updates optional relating to drivers is not to install the item.  Windows Update has the habit of their screwing.  If you need to move directly from the manufacturer.

    If you are unsure whether to install updates, ask here.

    The next time you get the Apple update send us a screenshot.  If you have installed QuickTime from Apple, then it should be OK to install it.

    It seems that your Windows Update problems need to be solved and you should have no problem in the future.  Now you know what to look for and what to do.

    Re your NVIDIA graphics card, I recommend that you download the app NVDI GeForce from here.  It will continually check your driver for updates and automatically.  It is much preferred that getting the update via Windows Update.
