Computer has stopped in the middle of installing downloaded updates... It said unable to off... What should I do?
Give him more time!
If subsequently you must turn itoff, and you have problems:
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 provided link and do a repair of the disc.
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.

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.

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.

This is a complete scam. You can report it to your local police.
For your own protection, you should:- Change your passwords on email accounts, accounts financial and sensitive to which accounts you access online from this PC. RIGHT NOW!
- Run a full scan of your PC using your antivirus application... Also download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free edition). MBAM is a very good solution in addition to your primary backup antivirus/antimalware application.
- I would also go here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Shared/Help.aspx and follow the advice of "I think that my PC is infected", including potentially calls MS help.
- Above all, do not delay! If you have any concerns about the handling of it, then disconnect your computer from the internet and call MS before anything else.

Update failed. Impossible to extract the downloaded files. (U44M11210)
Creative Cloud poped upward and he said there where available updates. I clicked through to say things move forward and update applications that need them.
For the bridge, I get the error:

There was a problem of bridge CC update

I click on the link and it got me right here:

Then I opened a chat support window and after waiting 15 minutes chat support guy told me that he couldn't help me and I'm going to phone during opening hours.
Creative cloud costs $50 per month and Microsoft Office 365 costs $24 per month for their top plan which includes the largest value of Creative Cloud product (Office Premium Destop on 5 (not 2) machines, Office Web Apps on any machine, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Lync and Skydrive Pro more a Public facing Internet site with your own domain name.)
But in more more product for the money, Microsoft provides telephone support 24 hours a day for Office 365. Everything for 24 $par month.
How Adobe can be expected to ask for $50 a month and does not supported 24 hours a day?
It's an el etc, not M one one etc.

crashes CS4 from CS3 - Installer update and uninstall it now says bad install the database.
I tried all day get my CS3 update for my CS4.
(a) CS3 is still present (at least one program I checked). I could disable this morning and reactivate later.
(b) tried google and read this: installation program crashes. Control system profile | CS4, Photoshop Elements 8
(c) have done a lot of things, but not yet able to update.
(d) and as seems to be the Community (thank you) rather than public support - where is adobe support now (as he sent me in this way, rather than to 'support'). that is, not really sure of who I am "talk" also, obviously need/want to protect my privacy, etc..
Thank you for your links.
Re: CS3 and (later installs).
I was able to install CS3 on Windows 7 without problem - once I put the date in 2009 or 2010. The problem I found was that program Adobe update on media I have seems to think that the world has ended and refuses to accept the activation code. With the clock set back - CS3 install, update the update, and then he works as well as can be expected.
Re: CS4 - I've updated several times in the past - and never had a problem. My fear is that I am disabling CS3 in time so I can install it again, later, if necessary. (My CS4 package is an update and installed CS3 seems to work for the update better).
As installation CS3 is always a risk - like systems get latest - I'm afraid I do too.
In any case, thanks for the links - some I knew, more that I want that I never needed to know
p.s., Adobe contacted me - and I'll get in touch with them when I have the time to call.

2 people called me on my home phone, told me that they were Microsoft Windows, that I got error report to Microsoft from my computer and they went into my computer remotely and was told that they could fix. They said that my Windows guarantee had expired (on a less than 1 year old computer) and wanted to sell me a 1 year for $ 25 years more more money. I told them that I need to check. Less than 10 minutes passed and another call. It's when they said my computer was crashing. I told them it was covered by insurance, they hung up. I haven't lost a few programs but nothing that I can't live. They have external access to my computer. First thing I had to do was press on keyboard and the letter r windows icon as it took me to a Web site called showmypc.com. These people really represent Windows - Microsoft? If this isn't the case, who should I report it to? They also originally (before I have them checked) gave me a call back number in case I changed my mind. 1800 651-2595 but told me it would cost me 125.00.

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.
or
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

Yesterday, I received a phone call from a person claiming to be from Microsoft in my opinion. He said there is a serious problem with my computer and I have to go through him to set it right! I said there is nothing wrong with my computer and he said he was going to crash at anytime, I figured it was a scam so told her to get lost! I was correct?
Hi EvieBaker,
Yes, it's a scam. Microsoft will never call someone and say that their computer or their account is broken.Thank you!
