I was not able to update my windows via windows update. Help?
Whenever I get a notice to update or install windows updates, I click on the taskbar icon to install the updates. But the problem is that I did not install the updates successfully. How can I fix this. I have windows vista Home premium 64-bit. My computer is barely a year old, and this problem started quite recently (as in the last 3 months). Help!
Hello
It's probably something you have installed about three months ago. Probably a program of safety of a certain type. I would like to begin by turning off your antivirus and third-party firewall programs. After that they have been disabled, reboot and see if you can install updates.
FYI: You can usually find software security running through an icon in the flight low corner... the task of Notification bar. Generally, it can be accessed with either a left or right mouse click.
I hope this helps Mark <> Microsoft Partner

I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP
I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9. Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00. It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router. Chess began the same night, May 9. Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed. I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.
Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.
If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall. All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords. If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.
No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.

I was not able to open my my Adobe Illustrator application after update. He says there are a few problems with the preference but after following the instructions, Illustrator still does not work and it keeps giving the samei question. Help, please.
I think you are talking after upgrade to CC 2015 you're not able to launch I. Also, I believe you speak for read only matter of preference.
After following the instructions please do not launch Illustrator and check your file preference if the permissions have been set correctly. A good way would be to get inside the preferences folder and then try to create a file manually. If it succeeds, please write to [email protected]
A few external links to help you set permissions:
MAC
OS X Yosemite: set permissions for items on your Mac
WIN
Set, view, change, or remove permissions on files and folders
Kind regards
