• Security Center can't change your automatic update settings

  Hi friends

  I changed my 'UI language' from German to English and since then my "windows update" does not work. When I goto "Windows secirity center" and try to change it to auto update (which was the case previously), it says "Security Center is unable to change your automatic update settings" and below, ' change settings manually "." but when I click on this option, a window flashes and disappears.

  I've tried the suggestions in the following thread

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/690a7c05-12E3-45D1-967C-f9cab7cf69dd/

  but NO CHANGE

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• How to set or change automatic backup settings

  Original title: computer

  My computer makes a noise whirring of laborious struggling. I cleaned with care, but still, it looks like a car that won't start. I'm afraid he's going to die on me and nothing is saved as backup of the island is due this Sunday. Can I replace the Sunday backup in case he dies? Any advice on what has happened to my computer works very well. A bit slow but everything ok my chap of the computer is on vacation until next week.

  Hi Nicky,

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  If you want to change the time of backup runs, in the time list, check the box for every hour of the day you want your backup to run. Clear the check box for any time that you do not want Backup to run.

  Select one of the following options:

  • Custom. Does not set a default time for the backup to run.

  For more information see set or change automatic backup settings.

  Also as you mentioned that your computer makes a noise, I suggest you check if all cables are tied up and the CPU fan is properly cleaned.

• I can't change the automatic update settings

  I noticed recently that the automatic update of windows is no longer asked me whether to download updates. When I checked the settings via the Control Panel setting had been changed to "Install updates automatically". The toolbar is now grayed out and I am unable to choose another option!

  I'm the only person using this computer as administrator, with a single user profile. I don't understand why I'm not allowed to change these settings more and you would appreciate the help.

  Thank you

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

  VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton Removal Tool again BEFORE installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free, instead of AVG).

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads

  [If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair shop.]

• ADFBC change - automatic updating using PUSH - Data Service entity Active?

  Hi all

  Jdev Version: 11.1.1.7.1

  Summary of the problem: I have a table in the user interface based on a line of open readonly SQL base tickets showing VO. The queue will be worked by several people of support at the same time. So, it is ideal that the queue Auto - refreshes to collect a ticket from the table in the user interface if someone else picked up the ticket & closed. The UI is equipped with filters - so think the option is to push to an activeOutputText and then refresh the table UI using PPR.

  Ofcourse Poll is an option - but am inclined to PUSH as it seems most optimal.

  But the documentation around the use of live data for ADFBC is very confusing. Most of the examples out there talking about external data sources or a direct change in DB as an event in a first time - not a change of entity as an event trigger object. I have a few queries-

  1. is JMS the only way by which the changes of the entity object can be listened to or is there any other mechanism?

  2. on the binding of the tree on the definition of the page, we see ChangeEventPolicy with an option like "push." When is it useful?

  3. any good example of simple use ADFBC with live data?

  4. is my hypothesis on the af: poll be bad valid? Leave the configured push with "long-polling" is much better than a 'af:poll '.

  Thanks in advance!

  1. is JMS the only way by which the changes of the entity object can be listened to or is there any other mechanism?

  I guess you can use any type of mechanism to queue, JMS is 'natural' because that is part of Java EE (so it is included in the Java EE as Weblogic servers)

  2. on the binding of the tree on the definition of the page, we see ChangeEventPolicy with an option like "push." When is it useful?

  It is used in combination with the active data

  3. any good example of simple use ADFBC with live data?

  http://technology.AMIS.nl/2012/06/19/notifying-ADF-applications-of-database-changes-fast-and-lean-using-Active-data-service-for-server-to-client-push-part-two/

  4. is my hypothesis on the af: poll be bad valid? Leave the configured push with "long-polling" is much better than a 'af:poll '.

  Well, that depends on the number of users, refresh rate...

  But for your use case, push is probably much better than af: poll

  Have you thought about putting your VO readonly to the module of the shared application (to the level of the application): Sharing of Instances of the Application Module View (this was also supported for notifications of changes unnecessary db)?

• I can't change the settings of automatic update on

  I continue to be careful that my automatic update is disabled.  Whenever I have try to change the setting to on it fails and a window opens stating «Security Center can't change your automatic update»  I then try to do it manually and get the same problem.  What to do.  I thought that I may have the conficker virus, but after running a diagnostic of the system of downadup.org... my turns out to be clean.

  Hi Fabrax,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Be you please perform a clean boot on your system to see if that helps to clarify the freezing issue that you are experiencing?

  Here are the steps on how to perform a clean boot on your system:

  First step: perform a clean boot

  1. sign your computer with an administrator account.

  2. click on start.

  3. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  4. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  5. in the general tab, click Selective startup, and then click to clear the check box load startup items.

  6. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

  * NOTE: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  7. click OK and then click on restart.

  Second step: enable half the services

  1. start the System Configuration utility. Refer to the steps above if you need to see how to do this.

  2. click on the Services tab and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

  3 click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  4. click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 3: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In the second step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to sixth step. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: enable half of the startup items

  Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  Click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 5: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In the fourth step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to sixth step.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat the first stage and the second stage without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.

  Step 6: resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: solve the problem

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start

  2. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  4. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  5. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Here is the KB article that came as follows:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  After running the clean boot please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem or not, so that we can help you if necessary. After you run the startup clean please try and change automatic updating settings again and see if you are still having the same problem. Robyn
