Hello, I have a desktop PC and a laptop (DELL Inspiron N-4050).
I have problem with my internet connection cable which is working fine on my PC, but does not not on my laptop giving an error "no access to the network.When I troubleshoot it says "your computer seems to be correctly configured but the device or resource (DNS SERVER) is not responding."
I said to many technicians of microsoft online response, but they could not solve my problem and said this is my DNS problem and advised me to contact my Internet service provider. Guess it's because of my internet so why it works on my PC not on laptop?Yesterday, my ethernet cable pulled out my cell phone and I couldn't connect to the internet more. But on my desktop PC, it works perfectly fine. (I do not use wifi, if this information is also required) I have studied several threads with similar situations, and I have tried different methods to solve the problem to no avail. I did a system restore, but I'm having no luck. Also, I did not of the latest changes with my anti virus software and my LAN card drivers look to date.
When I remove my cable from the laptop and again connect my cable then it works but only after the PC sat for awhile.
1.I did flush DNS by typing "ipconfig/flushdns" in the command prompt.
2. my IP address, DNS, subnet mask etc are set to automatic.
3.I also added physical address taken from command line giving "ipconfig/all". for the properties of the network driver settings.
4.I ' installed the drivers to date of 2014 on my laptop.

0x8004fe21 - "this computer is not running Windows" - KB3024777 update does not resolve the issue
Hello
My Windows 7 has been giving me some problems lately. I get messages that "this computer is not running genuine Windows" (0x8004fe21). I'm running a genuine version of windows, and when I check the properties of my computer, it tells my that I have in fact validated my copy of Windows 7.
I also had a problem when new updates to Windows Update settle not and after a few google searches, I have concluded that this must have been caused by bad KB3004394 update.
It has been suggested that I deleted this update, but it did not show anywhere under installed updates.
It has also been suggested that I downloaded the patch of "quick fix" KB3024777, which is supposed to remove the faulty update.
I did, and since then, the issue of windows updates has been resolved. Again installing the updates of windows, but I still get messages I'm not authentic Windows.In addition, I tried all sorts of things, I found in online forums, but I don't remember exactly what those who were, because most of them were things that I didn't understand.
Maybe you guys can help. Thank you in advance!

Windows Update does nothing...
OK, so the title says it all. However, iv looked at several posts and threads within those.
my system is former general... Originally installed was the beautiful Vista, Ahhhhh... OK, enough, around 2009. I finally take 7 (toward 2014) things are going well until 3 days ago. I have had DRASTIC drops in FPS (frames per sec.) 90 > 10 instantly and jumping continued... Then I talked to a lot of personal technicians close and all bouncing ideas back and forth, I get voids with a any hope of fixing (process control, RAM, covering even the files that could have been removed by an unwanted program and unwanted programs themselves and last but not least by ensuring that all my drivers are up to date... At this stage iv installed a program called DriverMax (bad idea) he told me everything was outdated and I've updated everything. Still no solution... but worse, physical memory starts to jump, and CPU utilization go down 95%. This point! I'm at my end "whits"... new "clean" Windows 7 installation... everything is back to 100%, except for one huge thing... After I downloaded AVG I start windows updates... She will continue the search for updates and stops after 15-20 minutes (the window just closes) without finding updates.
IV tried everything iv seen so far on these forums and can't fix it. Nearest IV seen is a guy saying to download the REQUIRED files (2 I think) and install the next clean installation WHILE the Internet is disconnected from the tower so on startup/system configuration download manually the files causing the locking...
If a technician has ANY info at all to give me more help, please just ask.
This comes from a desperate player in need of its 'Fix competitive games' lol

HP LaserJet 1518ni - Firmware update does nothing
Hello people
I'm trying to upgrade my HP LaserJet 1518ni to the latest Firmware (2013-11-08, Version20130923, 4.22 M).
My current firmware datecode is: 20120110
I went here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3422472
Downloaded the file CP1510_Series_FW_Update - 20130923.exe
Firewall turned and AntVirus OFF, ran the executable with administrative privileges - he says he finds the printer and I see a progress bar and also the smiley at the end. But the printer is impressed and shows just "Ready" on the LCD screen, nothing has changed: files does simply nothing.
Tried via IP Port as well as USB on another PC, same effect.
What's not?
Where are the good old. RFU file that I just can TFTP at the printer...?
Thank you
Thomas
HI Jamieson et al.
OK, I solved it: the HP printer driver installed you need to update the firmware with the HP tool.
Inbox drivers using windows will not allow the tool to work.
As soon as I installed the HP Universal print driver I got it to work.
Would be easy for the firmware tool check, if 1) it comes to the printer 2) the sine qua non of a HP driver installed is given.
Unfortunately the tool simply sends the one-way firmware to a device.
Thanks anyway,
Thomas

Hello 3Ran
Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!Michael Murphy has provided these steps already; I'll just say it in a different way.
Because you can't go to your office, I suggest that you start your computer in safe MODE. Next to normal mode, it is a different way to connect to your computer and makes a few changes when the problem.
HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE
- Restart your computer if it is running.
- Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
- Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
- Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
- Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
- You should see loading drivers and then Please wait.
- You should then be on the Welcome screen.
Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

Configuring updates step 3 of 3 guard repeat/is stuck and does not start computer
When starting computer I get the message "Configuring updates 3 of 3-0% completed - turn a computer." Continue to repeat this message after it restarts and the computer will never start
Try these steps to remedy:
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

Windows Vista crashes when configuring updates
I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite a305-s6916 with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I had some problems with the computer so I decided to reinstall my OS and have a fresh start. I made the discs by the creator of recovery on the computer disk.
I reinstalled my OS, got all my files and programs on the computer, then started updates. When I installed Windows Vista Service Pack 2, my computer rebooted, went to the "Configuring updates 2/3 0% ' screen and stayed there." The circle of "loading" froze, I let it sit for an hour and finally started strong. He went to the same screen and froze, I rebooted it in safe mode, it starts normall (not in safe mode), and then asked me to do more updates. I let it reboot and he did the same thing, I rebooted again and he went to the same page with horizontal lines on the screen. I picked up in safe mode, it went through updates and seemed fine. I was using the computer and about 30 minutes later, he froze and made the lines again.
I decided to reinstall the OS again in case I did something wrong or had a virus transferred in my files. I did reinstall fees disks on my computer of friends (same model bought the same day). This time, I didn't install programs or documents with the exception of my antivirus (eset). I immediately started this updates a little at a time. In a first time no problem, but he did 72 updates automatically, it froze on a similar screen, I rebooted and it worked fine (successful installation). I then continued to make updates. I got an error 80070570 for some and it is resolved by following the steps listed on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistasp/thread/829de30b-0634-4186-9172-90cd5776b48c forum. (I have listed these steps below as well) I did not receive any other errors failed after that. When I did the update to IE 8 that it froze again, I rebooted and it has started well. I did several facilities and had problems with one more (I forgot to save that one).
I went until I didn't have Windows Vist SP2 on the list to download. I left this download and restart it, it froze again on 2 of 3 0% screen configuration updates, I restarted, same thing, then restarted in safe mode. He started up very well.
Although it seems to work once I started strong each time, I know I shouldn't have these freezing problems.
Any help is appreciated.

After 10 minutes, my computer seems to go into the mode "sleep" for no reason.
The monitor power light starts to Flash. The computer seems to be running, but it does not start back upward. I have to re - start the machine by turning it off and back on. I wonder if it's a software problem or virus?
Hello

Method 1:
I suggest you try to run this under fixit and check if it helps:

The service "wuauserv" (automatic updates) does not work correctly
The service 'wuauserv' uses constantly between 88 and 95% of my CPU, slowing down my computer to the point that it is almost unusable, so I've been suspending or disabling the process 'wuauserv' every time I use my computer.
In addition, Windows Update does not, if "wuauserv" is suspended or not.
It prevents just check the latest updates and never stops to do that no matter how long wait.Well, I managed to solve the problem.
I followed the instructions on this page: http://workingscripts.blogspot.com/2008/05/windows-update-high-cpu-usage-fix.html
Immediately after that, Windows Update and the automatic updates service finally started working again. It has been almost two weeks since I fixed it and have not had a problem since.
I didn't format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP for this problem - I have never done this because it does not seem necessary.
And I do not see how this relatively recent automatic updates problem never touched my other problem Installation of Internet Explorer years discussed in my other thread.

Windows update does not / blocked
Hello, updated windows 7 is glued on the search for updates, but never go further than that. I talk to press several times both times they have logged on to my computer and reset windows update, deleted the old pre data extraction and dns cache. they stop the service of update and rebooted. and stop and restart other services but do not remember what they all where. all this was supposed to get windows update works again. I had my computer on at night looking for updates and nothing happens several times. I shut down my computer and walked for hours and restarted windows update. I tried to close the automatic update and stop computer and turn it back on and nothing. the windows of the second person said if it doesn't work this time they gave me a technician level two but if I can fix it with a simple trick I or a reinstall of windows it self. I just ran SFC scan and he said he finds nothing wrong with windows files, so I have no idea what the cause of it being stuck on the research. It all started when I started my computer for a few months.
any body here have the same experience and find a solution to the problem?
Please see this thread.

Visa update problem
After trying to install the updates. my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer. I tried to follow the instructions provided here because it seemed to be the same problem. But when I restart and hold down the F8 key so I can boot into safe mode, I tried selecting safe mode and I get the same results, and I tried again by selecting the option 'Disable automatic reboot' which seems to be an option on the same page with the option of safe mode. Whatever it is, the same message comes back and I can never get to where I can see my desktop to click 'start '. I can't get out of this cycle. I installed the update because it said I needed to install it.

Everyone,
I'm trying to configure the WIndows server. I am running the following: Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation.
I did the following:
1. I crossed the Config Wizard on domain Active Services and installed it.
2 then I joined the field. When I reboot the server, I get the following error:
A. "your computer seems to be configured correctly, but the unit or".
"resources (DNS server) is not responding.
A1. When I put a static IP address on DNS, I can't go to the Internet. Even if
I can go to the tank and the PING of the IP address and everything is good.
A2. The I change the DNS to get the IP address automatically. Then I can get to
the fine of the internet, but I still get the same message about a problem with the
DNS server.
Can someone guide me please what the issue is here? Thanks in advance.
3. Furthermore, I can't see the new server name/information when I go into Windows Explorer
as part of the network.
A. I'll go in Windows Explorer and see the other machines when I look at the network level. Yet,.

Thanks in advance.

My computer said there has been updates to install yesterday evening, so I clicked on the stop icon to update. This morning when I turned it, it says "configuration updated: step 1 of 3-0% complete." Do not turn off your computer"but does nothing.

Hey Janeynflorida
1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Windows Vista
Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.
- When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
- Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
- Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
