My Windows Vista is not all important security updates. Error message that says that one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly.
I have tried to trouble IT 50202, but which failed due to the error 2678! Support center has no solution. Microsoft site does not have its own error code 2678. Ridiculous.
This was a huge waste of time and effort because he tries and fails to reinstall everytime I stop.
RECAP:
- You bought the computer in January 2009;
- The computer came with a preinstalled free McAfee;
- A McAfee application was permanently installed until you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on 23 August 2012;
- You first met the problems associated with malware (according to MBAM) in June 2010, the first year of your McAfee subscription.
- You have problems with Windows Update (MSE) on October 12, 2013, more than a year after you have installed MSE;
- You have improved the pre-installed McAfee free trial to the full version rather than uninstall the free trialware, running the tool to remove McAfee & then make a clean installation of the paid version.
- You have uninstalled the McAfee application until you have installed MSE but you don't not download/run the removal tool from McAfee before installing MSE.
MY HUMBLE OPINION...
- It was too late for the "come to the rescue" McAfee removal tool here.
- There is a possibility, but remote, you see the effects of an infection for a long time of a certain type (because MSE has not been installed correctly & so never worked properly due to 'remains' of McAfee).
- The computer must be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
Then what are you doing now?
OPTION A: You can get Microsoft-sponsored Premium (i.e., paid) supported by the Office of response-online http://answerdesk.microsoftstore.com [1]
OPTION B (highly recommended): see the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb
If you need additional help with the clean install, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system
If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.
OPTION C: Bite the bullet & buy a new computer (Win7).
- If you want to transfer your personal data to the new computer, backup data from one or more DVDs (no shine). Perform analyses considered at least two 2 online (e.g., ESET;) Kaspersky; Bit Defender) of the DVD (s) before you transfer the data to the new computer.
Wish I had better news for you, Roz. Good luck! On & off...

I recently bought a backup disk says he would run faster is it my 3.0 instead of 2.0 USB ports.
Just try to understand the computer itself, if one of the 8 USB ports on my desktop Dell (Windows 7, 64-bit box) is capable of USB 3.0.Hi John,.
The message that Windows gives is Windows telling you put a USB 3.0 device in a USB 2.0 slot and the speeds will be Cap using USB 2.0 footrest.
If you are looking for your system on the website of Glens, it should tell you if one of the USB ports are 3.0 or not. I think that USB 3.0 is marked with the blue wire around the ports.

What I would do, my computer has so many unwanted programs, is to reinstall Vista and not all HP programs that I don't want. It seems to make the computer too slow. I don't have a Vista disc, only the recovery CD I did in the beginning. Can I recover and just reinstall Vista, or should I get back it?
Thank you
Billoriginal title: recoveryIf your "Vista recovery disc" is provided by the manufacturer of your computer, be it Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, etc... Then chances are he's doing a thing. Completely format your hard drive and restores your computer to the day you brought it home. It's a major nuisance for many people these days, as if you have an error and Windows says 'Please insert the Vista CD to fix it Windows' well, you do not HAVE the CD to correct the error. Your only option is a complete erasure of all data.
So, my advice is to avoid ever NEED to use the recovery CD, and if you don't... hope you have backups of your important data (which is another thing, backup your important data often!).

I tried to install a program and I got an error message that says "Windows Installer" is not installed correctly and I need to contact the support staff. I get also a message when I log that says steetings.ini is occupied by another program and it will not allow the sidebar to come.
Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to troubleshoot the problem with Windows Installer:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml.
For the issue of the Sidebar, do a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Windows mail send any ip ok no error. Ox 800ccc79 cylindrical invalid not port 25 secure SSL error 550 Server
You try to send a file larger than 20 MB. Try to reduce the size of the attachment of zipping it or go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and select the option to break messages apart large. However, many recipients servers will not accept messages exceeds 10 megabytes, then you could try to send via another method. BTW, if you attach a file, it must be encoded to be sent by e-mail, and this coding adds about 30-50% the size.
