Installed updates are not displayed in the functions of the program

I apply MS Updates regularly and don't have some exceptional outside two optional updates that do not install updates. However, when I Visit > program features > view installed updates no updates installed are displayed many updates are missing, including any for Vista. The freeware Software Inspector for Windows product displays updates as it is correctly installed! I ran the difficulty it utility provided by Microsoft with no joy. Any ideas?

Dell Inspiron 530; Vista Home Premium SP2

I think that a clean install would be better here, too. I assumed that the data on the D: drive would be preserved, Yes, but better check with Dell Support for more guidance.

Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". " http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista (or contact Dell technical support)

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
     http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

NB: The McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool products McAfee Consumer before you install updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades and before installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials; free).

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

    If you mean that Windows updates are not proceed with the installation, it is because the support of Windows XP Service Pack 2 ended on July 13, 2010, so no updates were available for this purpose since then.

    To resolve this problem, you MUST upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is covered and a link procided further to the bottom of the page at the link above.

  • RH9: graphics are not displayed, but the fact of the anchored frame

    TCS3/FM10/RH9

    I'm a link FM books to my HR project.  With the help of FrameSLT, conditionalized my graphics (contained in an anchored frame) on FM so that they are not displayed.  It works very well on FM: there is no image and no image is anchored.

    However, in the draft HR charts are displayed with sharps; they appear also with sharps in the preview.  It's the way that it used to be in RH7. In FlashHelp, the graphics do not appear but the anchored frame is left behind, so I have a large white space where the graphic should be.

    I thought that there was a way that you don't have graphics in the project in the first place.  View the graphics in the project really slows down the update and generate processes. Why is HR still collect them if the graphic and anchored framework do not appear in the book of FM?

    Thanks in advance.

    It is about the other 'branch' Settings Conversion settings. The field is called 'Apply FrameMaker building conditional Expression' - check a blog by Matt Sullivan on Roundpeg on its use (http://blogs.roundpeg.com/2010/06/tcs-tips-for-conditional-text/) post
