    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Wrong email is attached to the iCloud, how can I change this?

    Wrong email is attached to my iCloud, how do I change to the correct email account?

    Is your Apple ID? Or someone who you do not know. If it's the latter, then you will need to contact this person to remove the lock of the Activation. If you can not contact them, then return the unit for a refund because you will never be able to use it.

    If it's your Apple ID, then please clarify whether an old version of the Apple ID you use, or if it's an Apple totally distinct from the one you are currently using ID.

  • I can install the full version of Windows 7 Professional on my computer Vista Home Premium? If so, how?

    I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer.  I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive.  Help!

    Thank you
    Darlene

    Here is the Vista Forums.

    You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How can I change my account from microsoft on my laptop windows 8?

    I recently upgraded from windows 8 and when I was installing my account I accidentally put in a former Microsoft account that I don't use anymore. im just wondering how can I change my account information on my laptop so I can update it use my most recent Microsoft account.

    This error prevented me to use most of the features on the features of windows 8 as:
    Smart glass

    Film Center

    Another feature which requires me to sign on my Microsoft account.
    Please can someone help me?

    I advise to use Control Panel so you can manage your accounts in the same way it has been since Windows XP.  To access the Control Panel, a quick shortcut is to press Windows + X and choose Control Panel from the contextual menu, you see.

    My finger slipped and I can't understand how to start go back to choose English or complete the entire upward, so I can change it later.  Is there a way to start over?

    If you have not configured the Apple TV, you need to jump or enter anything for the implementation of the measures initially and back to these settings once you can read the menus in your native language.

    Press the "Home Screen" on the remote control to return to the home screen menu and locate and select settings (with the gear icon), select the option at the top of the page in the menu, then scroll down and select the second to the last option on the next screen, that shows a list of languages, select yours. Apple TV needs to restart to change the language and ask you to confirm this, when it's this select the option at the top of the page.

  • Windows Photo Gallery: changing/deleting profiles from scanning?

    In Windows Photo Gallery, I can go to 'File' > 'import from camera or Scanner... ". "> Select the scanner to import from > to the"New Scan"select a scanning profile.

    Problem: There is the option 'add profile... '. "for the drop down profile, but not visible in the way to remove or modify existing profiles. I looked into some Options and properties I could find in the Windows Photo Gallery, but nothing comes of these profiles.

    I can't add a new profile with the same name as an existing profile. So, this led to a bunch of useless profiles which can be removed and confusing things. Very annoying.

    Hey Monimonika,.
    I had the same problem, but found the answer. I use Windows Vista.

    If you go to control panel and open "Scanners and cameras", you select your scanner and then click on the button "Scan Profiles. This allows you to change the existing profiles and even reset what is the default value.

    Hope this helps (although long after you have submitted your question).

    Good luck
