Is there a way to control the download of updates to Vista?

In 2007 I bought a Dell C521 PC delivered pre-loaded with XP Home SP2. Dell also delivered an update to Vista Basic disk as a promotion. I've successfully upgraded to Vista but now I turned on the automatic updates, it began to download each update of Vista in the course of the past 30 months or so. Is it possible to limit or control how much is downloaded without having to select the individual updates? Any help is appreciated. JOCK McSQUIGGLE

Hi there you can try this, click Start, all programs, look for Windows Update
in the list, click Windows Update, click on the settings in the Drop Down
Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them.
At least, you can then view before update.
Either way, I also have a 2007 also bought C521 that fried just the mother
Of Board and video card...
See you soon

  • Is there a way to control the color (or other properties) of several layers of text at a time?

    A frequent case when you design a Web page:

    I create text elements/blocks and each a title, body, etc...

    each title is a separate text layer and I use the actual content (so no lorem ipsum)

    Is there a way to set the color of the text as separate dynamic object or kind of style? So when I want to try other color I would be able to change it in one place and it applies to all linked text layers that use it...

    Dynamic objects using works fine for repeated identical items, but not when the elements are different as these texts...

    The library using CC allows you to set the style that can be applied again to several objects, but in the case of a PSD file complex with a long list of records and layers, it is very difficult and a lot of time to select all the layers desired by hand and apply them the style you want...

    In the end, I'm looking for a clear way to define a style sheet: fonts, colors, attack, variants, etc. as distinct kind of "smart objects"...

    Is this achievable in Photoshop?

    Create a solid color fill adjustment layer and turn it into a smart object. This duplicate SO using ctrl/cmd-J and hang it on all the text layers you want color. You can then open the SO and change the color and it will be applied to all the text layers that this particular SO is cut to.

  • Is there a way to control the fonts used by a remote façade displayed in a browser?

    When you use a web browser (on a system with only the TEN LabVIEW installed) to monitor a remote façade commissioned from a cRIO is a way to control which fonts are used by the browser when it displays the Panel?  In the case of a stand-alone executable, I know that you can include definitions of fonts associated with the executable 'appfont' and 'FPfont' in the INI file to control the fonts used by the executable. Is there something similar that can be done with a front panel running in a browser window?  Or do I go through the VI and explicitly define a non-generic font specific for each control and indicator that is displayed?

    What is the size of fonts in windows on the PC?  It has 125%?

    Your problem is similar to that discussed in this thread.  Set a Date and hour - week 5 months does not last line

  • Is the another way to get the download from the support section

    Is there another way to get the download from the support section?

    Because the download speed is very slow. For example, in the new version of the value-added packaging and its 116 MB big need. A normal download time would be approximately 5-10 minutes. But when I download from Toshiba I need 2 to 6 hours. Not good for a company that manufactures laptops and high-performance computers.

    And the worst thing is that the connection is reset after a few hours... so I'll never get the update.

    Does anyone know help?

    Thomas

    Unfortunately, he has no other way to get the Toshiba drivers from the European pilot of Toshiba page.
    You are right at this moment that the file transfer is too long.
    I get about 10-19KO/s. That s is really very slow.
    Maybe the server is overloaded who knows I hope this will be resolved in the next time.
