  • Windows Update has stopped working

    Recently, I recognized that I have no update for Vista installed since Nov-08; before everything worked.  When I try manually to the update, the system tells me to check the updates, it must first install a new update for Windows Update!  Then I press the button, I confirm, and the system tells me that it will download and install the update.  Aftzer some time, however, nothing happens when, in particular Windows Update itself only has not shut down and restart, but just the message appears.  This is the point where I started, and the process repeats indefinitely without any special message.   My understandig is that, for some reason, I couldn't have Windows Update update itslef.  Is there some other different means, as for example a simple download, to have the latest version of Windows Update installled on my computer?

  • Windows Update has stopped working - "files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer"

    Please let know us where I should look for IE tools | Options Internet, etc.

    ALT + T + O | Programs (6 7 tabs, from left to right)

    ================================

    Note: You can see the symptoms of an infection of hijackware due these Authentium & Norton or McAfee 'leftovers' were present on the computer for so long. It is possible that VIPRE Internet Security never installed or worked properly.

    OK - ALT + T + O given the folder options, so I guess I should have used Internet Options in the Control Panel, who brought up the Internet properties display and tab programs showed IE as default browser.

    All attempts to open IE, Firefox or even Outlook Express for that matter, fail, because apparently the boot did not go far enough to negotiate the internet connection, as the double-monitor icon is not shown in the system tray.

    Local network connection status shows as OK, but without the traffic through it.

    Any attempt to interact with the Internet Options Connection folder system crashes and tries to leave or cancel the result of process in the message "end program rundll32.exe".

    That is where she lies.

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

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

    McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

    IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

    4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

    Report ID: e6dfd048-d6e2-11df-9660-00271383b7fe

    The operating system is Win 7 x 64.  Video card is a Gigabyte GTS450OC1 with its latest driver running on an Intel DP55KG MB with 8 GB memory Corsair XMS3.  The system was fully functional and stable immediately before the update.  I don't know which of the 18 patches is in conflict with the nvwgf2umx.dll file.  Device Manager reports no hardware problem with any component.

    In my attempts to solve the problem, I run chkdsk f, sfc/scannow (which have reported no problem) and reloaded the video driver (without uninstall first).   Nothing works so far.  I even tried to defragment the master file with Diskeeper 2010 start time Table Defragger (based on another post, I've found), also without success.

    What is the reference for this?

    This may seem like the thing the more janky to post, but I got the same error several months:

    Problem event name: APPCRASH
    Application name: Dwm.exe
    Application version: 6.1.7600.16385

    And could not cancel the record/re-record the dll it error out on an entry point missing or whatever.
    So what for some reason any worked for me is to rename C:\Windows\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll to nvwgf2umx.dll.bak (all other copies of this file are in the folder DriverStore).
    After that, I ran from an administrator command prompt
    net stop uxsms
    net start uxsms

    And miraculously all started working again.  I'm running a GTX570 with latest drivers nvidia from Scripture.
    Note: You probably shouldn't be move/rename things in System32 unless you are confident and have your data backed up.  It worked for me, but who knows you.
  • HP20: Windows Explorer has stopped working, followed by windows explore restarts

    Hello everyone, a few days my computer began to behave strangely. When you try to download some pictures using Chrome, windows Explorer has crashed, and a pop-up will appear showing the message: "Windows Explorer has stopped working". A few seconds after that, the entire desktop up-to-date and another window poped by displaying "Windows Explorer restarts... ».

    The cycle of two windows appearing repeatedly. I restarted the computer as soon as it shows the office, the same thing happens again, to infinity.

    I was able to restart the computer by using the security mode, it works just fine. I've disabled most of the software at startup, except 360 total security anti virus. It has not solved the problem.

    Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you very much for any help!

    Hi old_geekster, I tried what you said and it did not work. However, I then found the original source of microsoft where you got this info from, and they mention here on a corrupted video driver as a source as possible. That was the problem in my case: radeon tried to update earlier this week, but I was in a hurry and it did not properly. I tried again and it worked now!

    Thnaks for your help, even if not exactly what I needed, it solved my problem!

    original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem

    My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution.   Windows XP, SP3.

    In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '.   I changed this "manual".

    msiexec /unreg works ok.
    msiexec/regserver gives an error: "an event could not invoke any of the Subscriber.

    I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

    I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same.

    Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers.
