original title: Windows Vista Ugh.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium on a laptop Gateway. I get the installer of Modules of Windows has stopped working and has been the error message closed as well as the configuration 3 of 3 0% starting upwards. Thank God the restart of death cycle is no longer happens, but it always appears when I restart/start my computer. I have tried almost everything that I found online to fix this, and yet I still have these questions. I can not install updates to Windows due to the fault of the Windows Modules Installer every 3 minutes and I can't install SP2 even when I tried the 64 bit version of stand alone for my computer. I literally a novel of installs failed in my history of windows because of this update and I constantly receive error messages when you try to install the update SP2 failed. I don't know what else to try now that I tried the system restore, and none of the dates are far enough for these errors go away. Help, please.
Check here the answer to the similar problem:

PS
I've seen many references to Vista but Vista ugh is new to me. ;-)

Explorer Windows stopped working, and it wont let me run cmd as administrator.
A few months ago, I got the error message "Windows Explorer has stopped working". He asks if I want such online for a solution, or close the program. I looked online and everyone says to run cmd as administrator, and then type Sfc/scannow, but when I right click on cmd after a search on the start menu, it says that it has stopped working again. I also tried to run cmd as an admin using Crlt-shirt-entry, but he always says that it has stopped working. I use Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

Explorer Windows stopped working when opening a folder
Hello
I get this error "Windows Explorer has stopped working" for the past few months, every time I try to open a particular folder that contains 10-15 .avi files. This folder is located on an external hard drive and when I plugged the hard drive of a computer running XP it's the same thing. It throws this error and gives me 2 options,
1. check online for a solution and restart the program.
2. restart the program.
According to the option that I chose it closes all the windows in the Solution Explorer, and nothing happens.
I tried to copy the file from external hard disk to the local computer and the same thing happens when I try to access it. I don't think that's the problem with my computer as the same thing happens also on the XP machine.
Please suggest what to do.

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Pressing FN + F5 message: module IGFXEXT has stopped working
Pressing FN + F5 message: module IGFXEXT has stopped working
I use Vista
Model - Portege M700With FN + F5, you can switch between monitors.
The igfxext.ext belongs to the common user interface from Intel and it s stored in the path % system%\igfxext.exe.So in your case, I'll try to update the display driver. I think that this is causing the error.
You can find it on the Toshiba site:

Several days ago I started having the application error "windows logon UI host has stopped working". This happens when I connect. and also on the update of windows, when they tried to configure windows update it says "failure configuration update of windows. Returning from the changes. and it restart the whole system again.
For your information, I use windows 8. so help me solve this problem. TQHi ZakwanSalleh,
Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and join us on our community.
From your description, I understand that you get an error message during newspaper saying "logon user interface host windows stopped working" and after the update of Windows as "failure of windows update." Returning from the changes.
We get the Windows log on error message if the computer is running out of memory. Then I suggest you perform these methods and check.
Method 1:
I suggest you perform a clean boot and remove all unnecessary programs installed on your computer.
Clean boot: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Here is the link for your reference perform the clean boot.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: Please go through step 3 KB to maintain the computer to a normal startup after you resolve the issue.
Method 2:
I also suggest you to run a sfcscan and check.
The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. When the analysis is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations are detected, the System File Checker tool allows to challenge violations of integrity
Follow these steps to run sfcscan.
a. press Windows + X keys and click / tap on (Admin) command prompt.
b. in the elevated command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
NOTE: It can take some time to finish the race.
For the error "failed windows update Setup. Revenant changes"I suggest you follow the steps in the article and check. Here is the link for your reference.
Error: Failed to setup of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer when you try to install Windows updates

Installer of Modules of Windows has stopped working and was closed
Hello
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite (running Vista Home Premium) that I bought about two months ago. When he tries to run updates, he routinely gets through a few and then up pops the message "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed." I have already reinstalled Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates, nothing helps. Recently, she was immobilized on the KB958623 update, so I tried to install that separately, but the same message popped up and it did not work.
Help?
Thank you!Greetings mollypopsicle,
I see that we have always had problems with this update. This leaves me with the question about the possibility of fi computer update auto is damaged during download.
I would like to have you create a folder on your desktop. Right-click on an empty spot on the desktop / new / file - name of the folder KB958623.
If you have a download manager, please use it to download the KB958623 update from this Web site
http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=958623%20
Make sure you use the version of Windows Vista that applies to your system.
Once the download is complete and before running the update
- Restart your system in safe mode with networking, as described in the above post from Brian.
- Once the system is booted in safe mode with network, run the update from the file that is downloaded on.
- If this does not properly complete, were there a pop-up Windows indicating that an error? If so, what were these errors?
- Maybe it's that the error you receive is that this update does not apply to your system. If so, this update can be hidden in your list of updates.
Here is a link on how to hide the update
Select only the I'm getting offered an update from Windows that I don't want.
However, before you do, check which version of Windows Vista is ran - home edition, Premium, Ultimate, it is 32-bit or 64-bit edition. Also, if there is an error of execution of this manual update mode safe mode with networking, include this information in the forum.
Thank you and continue to keep us informed of the State of this update.
Best regards

How can I get the Boot Camp utility to install entirely in Win 10 Pro? After winning 10 Pro was finished installing, the installation of Boot Camp process began but eventually got stuck at halfway through (for 20 minutes) on stage 'Realtek Audio. A restart of Windows has not triggered a recovery or re-starting installation of the Boot Camp utility. Windows, it works, but I have no utilities 'Boot Camp' and can not find any Boot Camp file stored on the side of Windows again.
Please see Bootcamp 6.0 driver install interrupted for resolution.

Windows 10 - installation of creative cloud has stopped working
I have two machines Win10, when I tried to install creative cloud desktop on one of them, it does not... At the same time, it works fine on the other.
I downloaded the CreativeCloudSet-Up, run it, it starts downloading files and when the progress bar reaches 50%, it stops working:
is there a log I can browse ind what's wrong? Is this a common problem?
I got some time to follow my case with support.
Measures taken to get rid of the question:
1 asked me to download and install the ApplicationManager application, instead of creative cloud. (http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cc/win/ApplicationManager9.0_all.exe) it does not work well.
2. total cleaning of files and Adobe applications (I deleted Adobe Reader earlier, and I have nothing of other Adobe * so in my case it was easy, not sure how this will impact of other Adobe applications if you have a)
%programdata%\Adobe a.
b. program files x 86-common files-adobe
program c. files-common files-adobe
3. we used a magical cleaning tool AdibeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe (http://download.macromedia.com/SupportTools/Cleaner/win/AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe)
4 installed Application Manager (completion of installation with no confirmation of any kind), then just run Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application... It worked, I loged on and got my apps after that...
These cleaning steps took about 10 minutes to complete.
At any time, I didn't have to restart my machine...
technical support thank you!
