in vista is windows update and microsoft update the same?

Have Vista business on a network and all computers become a windows update error 800 b 0001 after installing windows update on 17/07/12 agent.  Had a firm to try to solve the problem but to no avail.  We cannot get the windows update, but if we click on the "microsoft update" line we can get the updates.  The updates are the same, and if we use this backdoor we receive all the updates that we need?


While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [Essentials as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]...

  • Windows 7 and XP on the same machine.

    I have a computer running Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) and I need to run multiple programs in Windows XP Professional. Set up the computer so that the two operating systems so that I can choose the one I want to start? If so, how can I do it? Mode XP of Windows 7 is not a true XP environment because it does not have the Microsoft JVM program (Machine Visual Java) or installed it will be format FAT 32 discs (this does nor appear to be the same as exFAT). I need to restore files backed up using a program that does not recognize NTFS formatted. Can someone help, please?

    It's been a while since I used XP Mode and I don't remember all the details, but I remember that you will not be able to attach a USB device if it is connected to the host computer using a USB 3.0 port.

    You can share a USB device that is attached to a USB 3.0 port (or at least, you can do this with a flash drive USB;) I don't know about printers or scanners).

    I don't know about you, but I suspect that unlike a printer or a scanner, USB flash drive must be attached to the virtual machine rather than share the XP Mode and the host operating system.

    You connect the scanner to the same USB port that he was using before move you things?  If you unplug the USB port on the scanner, look at the plastic insert in the port: if it's black, it of 2 USB and click OK. If it's blue, it's USB 3.0 and it will not work in XP mode.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu on the same partition?

    I'm a grad student and for my studies I need to ubuntu and Windows the long withit. Unfortunately in my laptop that only one partition is free. I would like to install Ubuntu inside Windows. Is this possible?

    No, this isn't a plausible scenario, the two operating systems use different file systems, Windows 7 uses NTFS and Ubuntu uses ext4.  Even if they use a common file system, it would still not be recommended.  If you have enough free space on the disk, you can shrink the partition, and then create a new partition on free space for Ubuntu, note that it still may be a bit difficult to implement correctly, you must have a knowledge base of the operation between the MBR and the boot so that it works correctly on the same hard disk.

    Have you considered installing Ubuntu in a virtual environment in Windows 7?  I think that this may be a better option.  Personally, the engine virtual without going I prefer VirtualBox , but some prefer VMware Player , which is also very popular.

  • Can I have Windows Defender and Avast on the same computer?

    If I have Windows Defender, I need avast on my computer too?

    Hello

    Yes, Windows Defender is an antispyware program if you need an antivirus as well.

    --------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

    I hope this helps.

  • Disabling a Windows Firewall which is on the same domain of the remote computers.

    Hello world

    I have a Windows Firewall client machine is activated, preventing me from rattling of the machine or by connecting remotely. The user logged on to this computer doesn't have permissions to disable the firewall. How would turn off the firewall on the computer on my side?

    The machine runs Windows XP and is on the same domain as my pc.

    Thank you

    I think I found the solution:

    First, you must obtain the correct name of the service, apparently the display name of the service is not the actual service name.

    SC getkeyname "Windows Firewall"

    This gave me the correct name for the service, "mpssvc.

    I then ran the new commandment:

    SC \\computername stop mpssvc

    This service order.

  • Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

    On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

    When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

    Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

    Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

    Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

    Hi AndrewInNZ,

    Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
     
    I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
     
    (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
     
    (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
    It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.
     
    Check out WERCON for more information-
     
    1) Click START | wercon.exe type in the search box start and click on enter.
     
    (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
     
    Also reset the Firewall setting:
     
    1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

    Check the status of the service as well:

    Log in as administrator-

    Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

    Double-click on Services

    (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

    Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

  • After uninstalling printer Windows Installer and Microsoft Office error "this update package not could be opened"

    Original title: Windows Installer and Microsoft Office problems after you have uninstalled the printer

    I tried to install more than one printer, a HP Photosmart C4280 by downloading the drivers and updates on the HP site. I uninstalled the printer after it failed to scan a document and I had no more use for it. Then the trouble started. When I tried to open some programs (iTunes, Skype, etc.) for the first time after the uninstall of the printer, a window "Windows Installer" popped up. After you have configured Windows Installer, the program would open normally. However, when I try to open any Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), Windows Installer appears, but it turns into a window that reads:
    "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package. »

    Microsoft Office programs are open at all, and I desperately need my programs of Microsoft Office to work even faster. I would appreciate it if Windows Installer will stop trying to configure when I open a program also. Can someone help me please?
