• I uninstalled MSE and installed norton, now I can't access the web. any help? Vista Home premium

  I just uninstalled MSE and installed Norton. Now I can't access the internet. I have vista Home premium. my internet works on all the other PCs in the House. the computer shows I have internet acess, but tells me that I can't Conect on the web. I used restore to an earlier date without change. What can I do?

  Well, I just thought about it. I started in safe mode and uninstalled Norton and safety package provided with Norton from Comcast. It was the solution. I don't know if it was Norton, safety package, or both, but I'm back to MSE and perfect performance. I hope this can help someone else. Thank you

• Efforts to install the update for Windows XP (KB2419632) security constantly fail with the error Code 0x80070005

  How to install correctly update security for Windows XP (KB2419632)? I received the error Code) x 80070005.

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  Friday, January 14, 2011

  I have a solution. He was in two parts: firstly, PA bear in its list of the 6 stages has allowed for me to make the Windows XP security update that was my initial problem. However, then I was unable to update Microsoft Security Essentials was so without virus protection. Finally, I called the phone number of support for the product and was helped by a great person.

  The problem was that my system clock changed the date a week in the future. He also suggested that there are probably a variety of different dates used by other applications. In Safe Mode, it updated my system time and date, and all problems are gone.

  For those who have similar problems, the clue in MSE was a difference in dates between when the definitions have been downloaded, and when they were loaded. I suspect that the dates were important for download that prompted my initial request for help on this forum, and I know another website with which I had trouble's timestamp.

  Thanks to all who helped and good luck to those who have a similar problem!

  Before Kaspersky, I had on Windows Live safety - do not remember the name right but had for several years until it was discontinued by Microsoft. I didn't run the Norton removal tool before installing Kaspersky.

  Preliminary stage: Please uninstall Spybot & Ad - Aware, at least for now. Two of them include "real-time system protections" that could play a role here.

  Tip: If you don't fully understand what that Tea Timer (Spybot) & (Ad-Aware) Ad-Watch do and how they do it, one of them only enable if you decide to reinstall the applications when we're done here. [IMHO, you need not other antispyware applications if MSE is installed & working properly.]

  ACTIONS:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  1B. download Windows Live OneCare cleanup utility, save it to your desktop: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/c/b/4cb845e7-1076-437b-852a-7842a8ab13c8/OneCareCleanUp.exe

  3. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 a above, to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  3. double-click the file that you saved in # 1 b above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

  5. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  6. restart a last time & test. Make absolutely certain that you can manually update MSE successfully!

• I can't install Vista SP2.

  original title: my PC crashed and I had to re - install Windows Vista but now I can not install Vista SP2.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find, how to install SP2 for Vista?

  As I said, I did research any possible suggestion, including stop my anti-virus program, but still not get SP2 to install for Windows Vista.

  Note: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. have you (has) uninstall the pre-installed Norton free version to test AND THEN (b) download/run the Norton removal tool [1] & restart (c) BEFORE you installed AVG Free or any other antivirus application (not to mention SP2)?

  2. when (date about) you have to install Microsoft Security Essentials (I guess) and the computer was fully patched to Windows Update at the time?

  2B. was Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

  3 MSE is auto-update itself about once every 24 hours or it is installed?

  4 can update you MSE manually via the button of UPDATE on the MSE UPDATE tab?

• 9065 ERROR - PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS INSTALL "INITIALIZE LOGGER IS NOT YET CALLED".

  CANNOT INSTALL CA 2010, CONTACTED REP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE SETUP OF WINDOWS. BELARC ADVISOR SAYS I HAVE WINDOWS INSTALL VERSION 4.5.6002.18005.  TRIED THE ROAD AUTO, "MICROSOFT FIX IT" FOR AN ERROR 1606 AND IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND MY PRODUCT ID. CANNOT TYPE IN THE PRODUCT ID EITHER.  WHICH LED ME TO DISCUSS WITH YOU NICE PEOPLE.  ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED

  Here are the instructions to correct the Error 1606 (that occurs quite frequently as I see here often).  It affects Windows Installer before repair.

  This problem (Error 1606) occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

  The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

  Here are the steps to fix it.

  1. click on start, run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

  2. look for the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

  886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, click change, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

  Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key.  If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  You say that you have no protection against viruses on the machine you.  It's not good and I suggest STRONGLY that fix you this.  Malware can do all kinds of damage to your system which it crashing to the point where the only option is a clean re-installation or even to delete your important files or using your system to send extend to everyone in your contact list who they wouldn't appreciate (and other things as well - but you get the point) and you don't want that.  The good thing is that the best answer is FREE!  Try Microsoft System Essentials at the: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Microsoft-Security-Essentials-Download-131683.html or Avast at: http://www.avast.com/index.  Do not run both at the same time (which can cause all sorts of conflicts and problems) - choose one and give it a try.  I use MSE myself and I've never been successfully infected (even if I only used it for a little while - I used Pandasoft before that, but there is no reason to pay for what you can get for free).  Once you have your Installer is working again, I suggest that the first thing we do is to download MSE and install it and set it to run automatically in the background and update automatically and check your emails as files and downloaded and existing.

  I hope this helps.

  I get these since I installed MSE this time on Windows 7 and also on my most old laptop with Vista.  I see that it is not critical, but I don't know what the problem is.  I have not found a problem when the MSE is scanning or protect my computer.

  Is this serious and I want to do something more?  If someone can tell me how to investigate this type of info in case the Viewer, I would be happy.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hi Joanne,
   
  You have any anti-virus or anti-malware to third party software installed with MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials)?
   
  I wouldn't think it's serious, but a mistake is a problem regardless of its gravity.
  However, I would like to you follow these steps and check to see if they help.
  Step 1:
   
  I would like you to put your computer in a clean boot State in order to eliminate any conflict of third party software causing the problem to occur. I suspect the involvement of a third-party software.
  Note: Please follow step 7 to your computer as usual after the test.
  Step 2:
  You can also Uninstall MSE and install version 2 of MSE and check if the problem persists.
  Note: Be sure to only install the version appropriate for your operating system

• Recent problems of following Win7 failed to install software from Comcast

  Don't know where to start.  I can only suspect that all the problems are related to a single event and the more likely event, due to timing, has been a download, but Comcast Office software installation failed (automated in Comcast cable internet installation).  I suspect also that because only one sent to 'freeze' the problems here mentions conflict with the AV software and AV drivers may have been part of the package of Comcast.  Don't know.

  PROBLEMS:

  I can't uninstall the software.  Windows Installer "hangs" on "Preparing to install" and nothing happens.  I have to force close with the Task Manager.  Usually, that corrupts the images of my office, removes all the desktop icons and the Start button, forcing me to reboot.  (Near as I can tell, install the Manager affects Explorer.exe some how.)

  I can't install the software. The same problem. The program hangs indefinitely on "Preparing to unistall."

  After attempt to cancel install or uninstall events (default) after forcing the closure with the Task Manager, and after the Office covers without icons, the button start and the bar application (as if Explorer had closed, but froze on the chart in office), by withdrawing to the Task Manager to correct this, I chose the option "disconnect".  This allows me to disconnect and then reopen it in one.  However, once connected, I hit a black screen and the Task Manager shows a lot of applications is open twice in the list of open applications - and resident drivers.  It seems that the original 'disconnect' did not stop those apps, but the 'log back"repeated their.  It ends with a black screen every time and requires the computer to be turned off (where it crashes and then on the "shutting down" screen.)  See below.

  Restart or stop mode, closing blocks indefinitely. Occasionally, there is some disk activity hard, but in most cases, once it freezes, the hard disk is idle - but the computer does not move out of the blue 'Stop' window

  Microsoft Fix It will start, but will block indefinitely on "problems."  Review of activity in the the Task Manager, the program once hung in the "detection" uses no processor and record any activity. Rarely, the hard drive light flashes and doesn't show any use of research. Cancel will close the program without the need to force close with the Task Manager.

  04:00 - Windows Media Center to "optimize" attempts and crashes in the process.  The next morning, when found, WMC is frozen, will not respond to the mouse or remote control and must be forced closed in the Task Manager.  Once done, Win7 and WMC act normally unless specific other problems above.

  I also note that Microsoft Updates have been found and downloaded but haven't installed auto.  At least three recent updates are sitting waiting for my permission to install.  A Java Update yet, so.  Normally all these install automatically without my permission.  After an indefinite period, the close button appears that updates are waiting for a re-boot. I have allowed to happen once--sitting with a window "Please do not unplug or force close - update install" 9 hours - at work.  The machine was frozen.  No evidence of the update took place and all listed pending updates are pending.

  I run Microsoft Security Essentials and PC Tools Firewall more and feel confident that no virus does not cause this problem. If I were an academic assumption, the machine seems to block a lot of temporary programs who want to read or write to the hard disk.  But not all, as I stream video, record TV broadcast in WMC, use Firefox and Thunderbird - all without any problem.

  As I definitely want to remove the Comcast installs and a remote program of ESPN WMC get Windows Installer working properly is quite critical.  Wanting to use the program Fix It to review and fix registry problems is also strongly desired.  Here, your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Phew!  What a ride.  But it seems that it's over.  Here are the details.

  Recovery always disc manufacturer's software on the open - so I couldn't do the disks.  All diagnostic HPs also hung on open software.  The HP site so their software were so any relief.

  I ran chkdsk /f and chkdsk/r with no problems found.  I ran the diagnostic memory of Win7 with no problems found.

  Because my last change encouraging (get the MSE to install a virus definition update) happened when I was able to stop WU Setup with "net stop wuauserv" I decided to try again.  It appeared to fail the first two attempts (each after a reboot), but by the fourth attempt and restarting, I managed to close.  The immediate change was amazing.

  However, another caveat.  At the time of the software of Comcast has failed, install the 10/26 and as the failure of the system, Flash and MSE updates began editing, I had also signed a 80 GB USB flash drive to the system. Read about similar problems with Windows 2000, I tried unplugging my LAN to see if it was the cause of the conflict.  (The LAN connection was started 10/26 - connecting the device to the router to Comcast).  There was no change.  I rebooted, I decided to unplug the 80 gig USB drive in case it was cause of conflict.

  OMG.  Either due to the success stops Installer WU of the unplug of USB or both-, I got a clean shutdown - no blocking.  Windows open in record time and as I began checking the integrity previously does not apps, MSE prompted me to fast and ripped analysis through completion in time record (I ran a full scan later without any result of virus.)

  I have considered a 'net start' but decided against it, as the machine was finally functioning normally.  The failure of the single application has been and continues to be: PC Tools Firewall.  Apps, I wanted to uninstall and other pending installation, all worked perfectly. Looking to restart, the listed stop one button update pending (not sure if it was a system) and that too worked without problem. A single update took 20-30 seconds and then stop without hanging up - as she had for more than a week.

  On the other 4 hours last night, the machine appeared to be back to work properly in all areas except PC Tools Firewall.  What had caused this wonderful series of problems disappeared - either because of the "net stop" or the removal of the 80 gig USB drive - or both.

  I have not restarted install WU by using "net start" and I have no immediate plans to do so. (As far as I know, it restarts after a few restart.)  I will check the State of system update soon and restart, if necessary.  But in getting my machine in perfect health, I will be slow to install WU get reactivated by me.

  Regarding the USB, I'll have to check on another machine.  I had used for port of some files on my machine (for portability) and do not need what he fixed permanently to this PC.  It worked without error during file transfer and I am unaware that she had no failures that could affect the PC.  Never the less, as disconnect seems to coincide with getting the health of my back of the machine, I won't be in haste to reconnect it.

  Thanks for your help.  Like I said, it was quite a ride.   But I think I'm out of the cold, dark woods and running with a sound machine once more.

• Update Windows download updated to 0%

  64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on a laptop Dell Studio XPS16; also have MS Office 2007 Enterprise; Note that the laptop came with Windows Vista 64 bit and I made the Dell Windows 7 64 bit upgrade using disks provided by Dell.  I guess these are OEM operating systems and I don't know if I have the ability to repair the Installation.  I suppose that if I do not have this utility, I have to buy the operating system again in a retail version, huh?

  Everything has been perfect so far.

  Windows Update seems to have stopped working properly on ~4/16/2010 after installation (according to the timestamp) simultaneous KB979309 and KB978601 indicating a successful installation.

  Windows Update detects now correctly that KB979863 and KB981332 remain to be installed.  Download had hung at 0% for 36 hours for these two programs when I decided to try to stop Windows Update with admin privs and copied "windows/software distribution/downloads" at downloads.old and then deleted the contents of the original file 'download '.  By this set of tasks, Services is entered into a 'Stop' for Windows Update state when asked, but never "Stopped" completely.  No errors have been encountered by copying the "downloads" folder in a new folder and then delete the contents of the original.  I then rebooted.  This looks similar to the Nice instructions in another thread.

  Windows Update is now auto-run (Delayed) in Services, but the process is now stuck at 5% for the two updates remaining to be installed.  I also downloaded the two files and tried to use the stand-alone Installer, but I encounter an error of "looking for installed updates to update... "that seems to never find what he seeks.

  I also tried restoring to a point before that one of these stupid things and, although it seems that restoration is to copy critical files according to the instructions of the screen, the result is that the restore fails despite having tried a few different Restore Points.

  Any help with explicit instructions such as those generally provided by PA Bear would be greatly appreciated.  I met a very similar to what 32-bit Vista error resulted in wholesale data loss that I did not repair the Installation on this OEM system either.  Well, I hope I can avoid that in this case.

  Thanks to all those who can help you.

  Comments: I've been running MSE since the first beta, and I installed it on several of my customers computers when he was released last September. As part of the installation process, MSE presents you with a command prompt (warning) to uninstall your current antivirus application or a security suite before installing MSE.

  With respect, I understand your frustration today but since you apparently ignored (or don't pay any attention to) this prompt, you have to assume at least part of the responsibility here. McAfee Security Center and MSE both installed, there's a very good chance that none of them worked properly.

  My recommendation (since you asked): Support MS may have other ideas (and you are certainly welcome to their search if & when you still hear support once), but here's how I would solve your problem:

  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 7. In my humble OPINION, a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  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

  NB: No matter what Norton or 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 before installing updates and before installing your new antivirus application (for example, MSE).

  Norton Removal Tool
       FTP://ftp.Symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee Consumer product removal tool
       http://download.McAfee.com/Products/Licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  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.

  You can also contact Dell technical support for assistance with the clean install. And you will find in the appropriate Forum of community Dell Dell and peer-to-peer support: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/default.aspx

  Good luck!

  I installed the new HD and reinstalled XP and mfg drivers and utilities and now MS UPdate fails [error number: 0x8024400A] and I can't IE6 > 8 free upgrade which I did it B4 and it also not install dry Essntls

  I regret this, but...

  1. when (exact date preference) did you do the clean install of Windows XP?

  2. is WinXP installed SP3 yet?

  3 a Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) offered & installed via Windows Update or you intentionally chose to install it?

  4. do you have a free trial Norton or a test of free McAfee come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

• which antivirus software will work with a new processor 64-bit with 32 bit xp pro?

  Insalled new computer with an older version of xp pro 32 bit and a 64-bit processor.  Need a compatible Antivirus software.  Avast and AVG locked system does not load.

  Any of them, the operating system is what determines if you use a 64-bit anti-virus program not the processor. Lock-up questions do not sound like they are a related program.

  Did you just install a new processor? All programs are locked up? Uninstall Avast and reinstall, see if that helps.

  Download MSE and install it.

• Get the Internet script error when Internet Explorer is closed

  get internet script error, even when internet Explorer is closed. its Web site also comes in my speakers when no one is around the computer? Everyone please help my os is xp home edition

  First thing I would do is to restart the system and download MSE and install if you don't the have not already installed. Update and run. Download of Malware bytes and install and run this update from.

  Then, you can run chkdsk from the command prompt. Type chkdsk /f at the prompt and press on enter then type y to run check disk on the next reboot. Exit command prompt and restart the system to allow running chkdsk.

  Let us know if that fixes it or what the results were.

  Hope this helps,

  JB
