  • Impossible to update Windows Vista

    I was not able to receive updates for Vista for a while - took my "settings" system and it does not always help. Sometimes we'll sneak through but right now my message said: I have over 70 to download... very frustrating!

    Mom2Dogs,
    If you start Windows Update you get an error?  Open Windows Update, click on 'View update history' and see when the last update was successfully installed.  Are there updates failed?  If so, double-click one and let us know what is the error code.  What antivirus\firewall program are you running?

    Here are some troubleshooting Articles that you can try to start.
    Clean boot your PC, and then run Windows update

  • Can I save on all windows vista premium updates that failed?

    I am using windows Vista Premium, as mentioned above, and I have updates that have failed up to two years.  I started with 'SP1' and I migrated to "SP2" despite the large number of updates failed.

    I also have a large number of chess updates for Office 2007 and a few others.  I should probably mention that my original Vista Acer drive has been moved (probably lost).  I'm operating a valid OS despite self made. and manuals windows license verification work.  In the end, it seems that these updates failed eventually cause problems.
    Translate... Can I just start their withdrawal in reverse order?
    Please advise, I'm at whits end!
    Greetings to all,
    mddocoh

    Means failed, that updates have not been installed; so there is nothing to remove.

    You could try to reset the update components and see if that helps

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

    NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

    Upgrade to Firefox 24 and now nothing works at all despite uninstall it and reinstall several times and lose all my favorites etc. However, it does not start in safe mode. At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.

  • Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.

    I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

    See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]

    Any idea?

    Hmm... it's strange?  :|

    The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

    I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

    However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.

    I suggest that you contact acer and ask them to send you a set of disks of replacement for recovery of the acer link below but it will take time

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    But if you can borrow a microsoft dvd vista not acer hewlett-packard or the like discs of recovery of a friend or relative you might try to install vista in this way using your product outside of the laptop case key to install the family version correct vista premium of the dvd, and then go to acer and get the right drivers for your computer laptop model number

    Just make sure you get the good dvd vista

    There are two microsoft vista DVD produced is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit

    most of the computers came with 32 bit installed unless he asked a 64-bit

    and if you happen to also have a recovery on your computer partition acer laptop, you can start the recovery to factory standards by pressing Alt + F10 at startup

    There used to be a password you need to enter too

    It was 5 or 6 zeros

    If necessary, contact acer for this information

    I hope that you have a happy holiday season
