KB974674 - the update is not applicable to your computer

Cannot install the update KB974674 (utility to retrieve backups made with xp/2003, 7/2008R2)
I am running win 7 64 bit pro Portuguese.
First of all, I tried to install the English update version because I did not notice that the language must match.
I got the error anf, I thought it was normal because of the language difference.
But I got the same error when I tried to install the Portuguese version.
Did a system restore, but can not install...

SBSConsultant,

    Apparently this fix only works if your language is set to us English. It failed on my own with the British English language. I replaced the file c:\windows\winhlp32.exe with this forum post and all is well. I found it easier to use the great unlocker utility to rename the existing version.

  • Fix installation problem: "the update does not apply to your system.

    Greetings and thanks for reading.

    Currently, I am trying to fix a problem of high performance mouse. During the game, the mouse staggers moving (or 'looking', through the mouse) left or right . I tried two different mouse and the problem persists. The mice and their software, both work fine when connected to an XP system.

    By raising the solution, I found this support page that seems to match symptoms more than all other pages (with the solutions, I have already tried) I found: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/932653/en-us?p=1

    The page suggests that a service pack must be installed (already done) and otherwise, to try a fix .

    I got the patch in question, but when trying to apply the patch I am presented with an error message:

    "The update does not apply to your system."

    I understand that this question would happen if I had chosen the bits bad operating system (I chose x 86 for my 32-bit system, rather than the x 64 bit), but I chose the right bit system.

    I wonder how do I overcome this problem during the installation of the hotfix.

    I want to emphasize: I updated all drivers for the system (I had to shell out money for a driver update program because you are looking for that many drivers manually is virtually impossible), including the specific software for the mouse, the firmware of the mouse... None of them solved the problem. This fix may be my only remaining option to fix this mouse and I am unable to continue without help.

    Kind regards
    Luke

    mousesupport12345,
    Please post with the information requested here: what to post in the Windows Update forum

    Explain when you experience the problem.  It is only in the games?  If so, is it all games or only some of them?

    Clean boot your PC then test the mouse and see if the problem persists.
