Hello
1. What is the description which are impossible to install updates?
2. What is the message exact error do you get when you try to install updates?
3. you get any error message while you perform the system restore?
I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
Method 1: Reset components from Windows Update from the link of the suite, which would help you to install the updates of windows. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Method 2:
If the problem persists, then try to put your computer in a clean boot state, and then try to install the update to windows.
By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.
Method 3: Manually try to install updates from the Microsoft Download Center.
a. go to the Microsoft Download site, type the number of "KB" of the update in the download search box and then click OK.
b. in the list of search results, click on the (KB) Knowledge Base article link to go to the download page. If there is more than one list, look for a link that goes to the Microsoft Download Center.
c. If there are several versions on the download page, find the appropriate for your computer. Click on the download button and save the update to your desktop.
d. When you are prompted, click open to install the update.
Method 4: You can also try to perform the system restore , safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.
Note: When the computer is in safe mode, System Restore does not restore points. Therefore, you can not undo a restoration you performed when the computer is in safe mode.
Hope this information is useful.

I have Vista Home Basic. I have a HP printer that whenever I logged in re-installed drivers. So I decided to uninstall all printer and software and re-install fresh. All seemed well and good work but if I restart or stop and come back on the laptop tells me a driver went on a buffer and performs a restore of the system. The system restore seems to work and restores me awhile before I re-installed the printer. But again if I restart or stop it has the same problem. the pilot and buffer. I have not yet installed or reconnect the printer because it restored. I don't know much about computers and I don't know what to do. I wanted to kind of do a clean install of Vista but it comes preinstalled on my laptop so I don't have a disk and that I read removing the drivers does not seem an option.
Hi ChristopherParvin,
You did it happen any changes made to the computer before the show?

Windows Update and now when I try to open Lightroom it gives me a message that says "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading it is an overview of the cache and will try again during the reboot" reboot is not good at all.
The problem you are experiencing is not related to an update of Windows. The preview cache is corrupt. You must use Windows Explorer or the Finder to open the folder that contains your catalog. Find the folder that has the extension .lrdata and delete the entire folder. Then, launch Lightroom as you normally would. Lightroom will be in the construction of a new Preview file and you should be able to continue normally.
I don't know the reason, but a lot of people have experienced this same problem. Take a look at the more "like this" list to the right of this message. It is more common than you might expect.

Recently, I was hit by a virus that, among other problems, he blocked my access to the system restore to clear it. After having had my pc repaired I can not even access the system restore or my registry. I get a message from that system restore has been disabled by group policy. It's my own pc and I am the administrator. I've tried a few things without success. I hope someone can help me with this. I have the vista operating system.
1. click on start, run and type regedit.exe , and then press enter
2. navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-policies-Microsoft-Windows NT------SystemRestore
In the right pane:
- Delete the value DisableConfig
- Delete the value DisableSR
3. exit the registry editor.

Well, I thought the problem (I am the administrator of my PC) and couldn't solve it. Retrieves group policy in the help files and became totally confused with the convoluted information. Can someone give me a summary of what I need to do to enable this feature? I have Win XP Pro SP3.
TIA Bill H.
Try the following article. This article explains how to disable the system restore, but you can reactivate it by using method 1, then clicking 'turn off' instead of 'enable' in step 3 and 4.

There must be something out there. The PATCH program says it fixed and it really didn't. My System mechanic says he has set and he didn't. I download a lot just impossible to install anything.
Here, any help would be greatly appreciated!
