• MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.

  MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.  It happened all of a sudden in the last days.  I have yet to receive a response to this problem that works.  Everybody doesn't know how to fix this?

  The same question in the Windows 7 forum - and it worked

  1. Start Money
  2. In the connect to open your Money file page, type your Windows Live ID credentials, select thework offline check box and then clickNext

     Note If you have recently changed your Windows Live ID password until you have used the money, make sure you use the last password that worked with money. Based on your version of Money, your experience may be different. Basically, start, get the error of not being able to connect and continue so that you get cash itself

  3. On the file menu, click Password Manager (for Money 2002, clickconnection security box ), and then clickRemove .

     Note If you are prompted to disable MSN Money Web access, follow these steps, and then repeat step 3.

  4. Click disable this Passport for use in money , and then clickNext. Again once, different versions of money show different dialog boxes - the key is that you want to delete automatically connect with your live account.
  5. Click Finish , and then wait for the process of change in the credentials to fill.
  6. Click OK .
  7. Output of money.

  Once you disable the passport for use in Money and restart, you can resume your access to all of your financial institutions.  You will not however be able to be synchronized with MSN Money, which is the purpose of doing in the first place. I found that you can always update your accounts as you have always done and during the stock market always automatically up-to-date.

• Cannot delete the file - Windows 7 cannot check location

  Hello all,.

  After the upgrade to Windows 7, I tried to delete the Windows.old folder. However, I encountered a problem; There are two files in this folder that Windows 7 can not remove. When I try to delete them, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the two files and it asks me to check their location. Is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you

  Garrick

  When the above does not work, try this:

  1. click on windows orb
  2. type cmd in the search box
  3. right click on cmd in the results menu and click on run as administrator
  4. control windows opens, must be in the directory c:\windows\system32
  5. go into c:\ do this type cd... until you reach c:\
  6 goto directory where the file to be deleted. example c:\windows.old\users
  7 type rd /s (directory name)
  8 get invites to delete y/n type y and press on enter

  After successful removal, you can check the windows Explorer and see that the file is missing.

  Example, I have a directory on my c drive named windows.old, under windows.old that I have a user directory and then several subdirectories, 1 directory happens to be named bill. For some reason any windows can not find this place and will not delete the folder. I then who follow the previous steps and remove this directory.

  So, in step 6, I would like to c:\windows.old\users goto, I then head to step 7 and enter the rd/s Bill and enter. Follow step 8 and the file is missing.

  Let us know if that helps.

• Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. But it is!

  When you try to run windows update on my win7 box family premium, I get the following message: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. »

  Steps has been involved:

  1. I restarted and even restored to the point when the last update was installed.

  2. I verified that the service is running and checked that there are no errors in the the event log for this issue.

  Any ideas?

  PA bear,

  I solved the problem, apparently, some of the dll files becomes involved in the process of updating Windows and just need to be reassocie but for the analysis patterns below are the answers to your questions:

  1 Win 7 Home Premium installation

  2 64 - bit OS

  3 avast! Full version

  4. no other anti-virus/anti-spyware has never been installed

  5. computer was custom built by me, destructive disk used on a new HDD before installing it so that it wasn't a possibility of always being on the disc software.

  6. I left on deployment (I'm in the army) and when I came back my wife told me that the PC was not able to download the updates since November of last year, so she switched off and left to me when I got home.

  Thanks for the quick reply, I was just in the difficulty that I used while watching a few messages on another Web site.

  Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

  1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

  2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

  Please see the following article for connection errors:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

  836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

  After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

• Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator

  Error message appears when I try to change the Windows 7 update to automotive preferences, or try to manually get updates of Windows 7.  Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit on a computer at home.  I am the administrator and I can't find any relevant information in help or in a search of the forum.

  "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator.

  That's what I get for taking!

  There is a big difference between be connected - one with administrative privileges (see your first post in this thread) and be logged on as administrator, especially in Vista & Win7.

• Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code

  Hello

  Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.

  I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.

  The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?

  I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).

  I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:

  1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)

  2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).

  3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).

• Could not start the automatic updates. Get an error that Windows cannot check the updates, D0000034 after the failure of the Java updates

  OP: Action Center... PC problem: 1 important message

  After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?

  Hello Irfan,

  Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate.  Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me.  On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers.  Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric.  I tried to enter only and does not pass.  This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID.  Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think?  If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

  Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.

  Keep up the good work,

• Windows cannot check the updates for Vista

  Entertainment HP Pavilion Notebook - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition.  Last month, Windows didn't install updates.  Went online - route taken to fix this - restore the system to an earlier date and no change.  Roxio Videowave no longer works correctly as well as other software problems.  Read reviews from customers online, but want to know if I need to restore my computer laptop settings before installing Windows 7?  I also use Kodak Easyshare and so-called Pinnacle 10 compatible according to what I read.  If please inform and let me know what I should do before installing.  Thank you very much for your help.

  If Vista is having a problem with updates there is a very small chance that the upgrade to Windows 7 will not solve the problem. A shop to factory settings which will certainly solve. However if you plan to keep all data and applications a restore to factory settings or Windsows 7 "Custom / Clean ' install means that you must first backup all your data to external media files, then after cleaning install you will need to reinstall all your applications.
