Latest Vista updates have picked up my use of the internet and slowed down my system
Last week, I had several automatic updates. In the meantime, updates have been loading on my computer all landed and froze. After the updates, I'll have a terrible time in AOL. The program has slowed down and often gives me an error message that the system is not responding. I contacted AOL who gave me many suggestions that I follow, but I still have problems (more my overall system is slow now). Says to contact Microsoft. It may be a problem with acceleration. I don't have these problems until the updates installed this week.
Now my system restore no longer works. I can't go back to before the updates. What can I do?
Hi andrewgpig,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.
Possible cause would be that updates might conflict with other programs on the computer. Also could have damaged some system files on the computer.
I suggest to try in safe mode and check the performance of the pc first.
To start the computer in safe mode, do in the link below
http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx
If it works fine in safe mode, then find the program that is in conflict. The link below shows you how to do a clean boot
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796
If the steps above fail. Try to do a scan sfc
Try to run a SFC scan, to do this, follow these steps:
Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
Type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
I hope this helps. .
Let us know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

There is no vista download for free and legally on the net
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact HP and ask them to send you in recovery vista disc to reinstall the operating system back as it was when new
they do it for a nominal cost of $

____________________________________________________________
Solve a common problem of recovery with HP machines.If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.__________________________________________________________
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not an Acer, Dell etc recovery disk
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista

Can't find a downloadable update to allow me to use all the facilities and to print in color.
I have the machine installed on an older imac. Now, with a newer imac with Mac OS x 10.8 Mountain Lion, the software disk I have does not open. I am also unable to find the printer hard disk utilities. Am able to print, but only in black and white.
Thanks for the clarification.
The drivers of your printer are available via Apple Software Update.
Be sure to follow the steps below to install and how to use the printer and the scanner on the Mountain Lion:

Micorsoft windows search filter host uses 3g of ram and slows down the computer to a crawl.
search filter host started running after the updates and it slowed my laptop to a crawl. Why is it turning? And that fact?
Running Vista on the HP hdx laptop. RAM 4g dual-core
It is probably rebuild the search Index (maybe called something in one of the updates for this action) - Although it could do other things as well (it's hard to tell). You can do this finish faster in general by reducing the number of file types or sites included in the Index (Start/Control / Panel / Indexing Options / Advanced)- but the file types and locations are not included in basic research (it's a compromise). Some people say that excluding files .xml help (especially if you have a big disco).
If this does not solve the problem (or you're stuck with it running and it will not be closed) Download Process Explorer http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/3000-2094_4-10223605.html and see which fits all the CPU usage - it should provide more information than Manager and helps focus in spots on the problem.
The problem may be with the updates (or one of the updates). Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (before installing updates without doubt). Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates (but be careful, because if the issue is resolved, then one of these probably caused updates and you do not want to recreate the problem).
For more information on the updates (which seems to be the source of your problem since it was started after them installed), repost in the Windows Update Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads where the people who specialize in updating issues will be more than happy to help you with this problem. Try to provide them with the names of the updates and their number KB (as well as all that you have done to try to solve the problem).
I hope this helps.

Original title: Windows updates fail to configure.
I wonder to install Windows updates. I do and I am told they have installed. When I have to restart my computer, I get a message that the updates have not been configured correctly. The system then returns. Next time I turn on the computer I get a message saying that updates have not been successful. This has happened for months. I think that my computer is very slow because of it. I also think that my computer is a little short on memory. It is an Inspiron 530 with 1 GB memory

I am facing a problem with the beep.vi. I have a DAQ program, which acquired the signal and compare it to a threshold value. When a signal is out of range, a Visual and sound alarm has occurred. I use the VI beep.vi to generate the sound. Everything works fine except the sound alarm. It gives the table 1 d of type mismatch. I tried to fix this by placing it in a box structure. But it still does not work. If someone could help? Please find attached my VI. Best wishes to all visitors to the Forums of Discussion OR.

Original title: Windows updates
Is the function of automatic update of Windows found in the use of control panel of your compensation for the use of the Internet from my ISP? If so, how? In addition, how to hide an update, I don't want to? For example, I use (and I'm happy with) Windows Internet Explorer (v7), but receive reminders to update update to Internet Explorer v9, which I don't want.
Is there a way to prevent Windows Update for sending this reminder in the future?

Hide and Yes will use you PSI data usage. It depends on how much the updates install you, on the amount of data it uses

After that Windows update installs on my Vista Home Edition, I can't connect to the Internet. (My updates are automatically installed at 03:00)
If I come back before 03:00 there 12:A.M. as a restore point. I click Restore system to 12 hours and I am able to retrieve Internet Explorer 8.
However, updates are eliminated and the same updates are reinstalled at 03:00 the next day. Again not Internet Explorer. It lists the 11:00 the previous day as a Restore Point but then lists it as "undo the restore operation. Further, most number of updates is removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ptfitzyNever, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot. If that does not resolve the problem,then try System Restore.
Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the Web page":
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942818If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:
1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes the Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG AS guard.exe, SpySweeper guards, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN select Windows Firewall.
NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated! If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.
2 Uninstall "A security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 for Vista (KB976325)" or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" viastart | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | Installed updates & restart.
3 d - c #1 above.
4 manually run Windows Update and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).
5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.
