• Impossible to get Windows Vista Mail to work since the installation of FireFox

  In recent weeks, been unable to access the Internet or use any messaging service using IE8. Internet Explorer opens not - except in safe mode with network. I spent several hours to solve this problem without success. Then as a last resort, I downloaded and installed Firefox and in normal mode the page Firefox came and I have full access to the Internet and Microsoft Hotmail - however I can't get Windows Vista Mail to work.

  WMUtil is very easy to perform and can fix things.  Especially if you got rid of McAfee.  You may still need to remove your e-mail account and then add again, but it's also easy to do.

  Many people find Thunderbird much more preferable to alternatives to Microsoft.

• Error code 8E5E0147, impossible to get Windows Update to work

  When I try to download windows updates I get the following error code: "8e5e0147" and none of the updates will be installed. I now like 15 important updates.

  I already searched this forum and other forums of solutions, but none of those I've tried seems to fix the problem. That's what I tried:

  • Disabled Antivirus and firewall software
  • Tried to install updates and
  • Manually install the updates by microsoft download. This give me an error code, just "failed to install".
  • Run a checkdisk, no errors.
  I would be really happy for more information, which will solve this problem for me. It is very annoying. It is the system that I use if that would be any help:

  Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64

• Impossible to get windows update or microsoft update to work after the factory restore

  I just restored my computer laptop runnung xp sp2 to factory settings and now I cannont get windows update to function (0x8024400A error code) and I can not update microsoft to work (error code 0 x 80240036).  I can access the internet, navigate, dl files etc. just can't get windows updates.  I disabled the firewall and antivirus still cannot operate.  Tried to fix it, SP3, but must for this and I can't seem to install manually.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  Okay, roll up your sleeves! :-)

  (For best results, download all the Setup files below before you restore your computer to its factory settings. Files can be downloaded or copied to a USB flash drive).
  
  Preliminary work:

  Download the installation files (only if necessary!) SP2, SP3, IE8 and Avira Antivirus (beforehand). I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of four files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2) (Note: you don't need to install SP2 if your home is already SP2 or SP1 even.)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-Free-Antivirus (for FREE of Avira version)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. turn your PC to its factory settings.

  3. remove the PC-Cillin was COMPLETELY (see above).

  4. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  5 install SP2 (only if necessary!). Restart TWICE.

  6. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  8. install anti-virus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  9 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  10 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  11. reactivate the automatic updates.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 4: can I get Windows Vista separately?

  Hello

  When I install the product recovery CD, it installs Windows Vista and many programs that I don't need.
  I just want to install Windows Vista (even excluding pilots).
  So, can I get the installer of Windows Vista (Home Premium) separately?

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are no separately installation program. You are not alone with this opinion and no you don't have to use any installed stuff. I remove also all the stuff, I didn't need.

  Install the OS by using the recovery CD and then download all the updates from Microsoft to ensure that everything is up to date and remove all the stuff that you don't need. Believe me I do the same.

  Just for example - I have a satellite that comes with Windows XP Home edition and I did follow:
  1. installed OS using supplied recovery DVDs
  2 installed all updates from Microsoft
  3 deleted applications, I didn't need
  4. install all the applications I need for work (office, Nero and so on)
  5 installed Norton Ghost
  6 created my own recovery image

  Now I can reinstall my OS and after 30 minutes, everything is there. In the case of some virus or any other strange question, I install new OS (on the C partition). All the data saved on the D partition are still there and can be used after installation of the image.

• I got the Conficker virus and now I can't get Windows Update to work

  I got the Conficker Virus/worm infected my system, but have now got rid of him (I think).

  I noticed yesterday that Windows Update has just stopped working, it has a red symbol X and said 'windows update cannot currently check updates because the service is not running'. Then, I figured that it could be a virus and tried to download AVG anti-virus, but the virus stopped me to access a website or a program to do with protection against viruses (including all Microsoft sites). Finally, I used a separate laptop and negative to download AVG and some other anti-virus/malware programs and down them mode without failure. I then ran Windows malware removal tool. That seems to have gotten rid of the virus (which has been identified as Conficker), I can now go to any Web site, so it seems that the virus is gone or disabled.

  However I can not even access Windows Update. My guess is the virus disabled some component of it, but how now operate again? Is it possible to re-enable it manually? Or y at - it something that I can download to fix?

  Hello

  Conficker often comes with other malware, so once you think that you're rid of him real problems then begin run through
  They are 100% sure that everything is clear and get it fixed.

  For those who think they might have Conficker:
