Problem message 66 a updated windows and performace error on Windows Vista

Original title: windows update error

I have problems to download windows updates.  I bought new spyware, PC unleashed and already have Norton. I tried everything I could think of to fix this.  I changed the settings, cleaned records etc. nothing works.  Considering that I know almost nothing about IT, I'm there winging.  My computer is Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  It's a gateway bought about 2 years ago.  He sometimes stops for no reason (no blue screen of death again).  I am desperate to solve this problem, but reluctant to take it to a computer repair store.  I tried Microsoft Fix Center several times and tried different repairs but still nothing.  Don't know what happened but suddenly, the computer is slower and updates do not work.

I'm afraid to do too much fear I may damage my computer or worse.  I received the error 66 has time and time again.  I have received various messages which have failed since April but didn't know it was because my computer was always a small icon of security under the start menu that tells me to stop and install the updates so I could do this after I was using the computer think he was installing updates , but obviously none of them.  Now I can't even count how many updates have not been installed.

Due to the scans, I have ran, it was said that my computer has high speed, a lot of RAM etc... but I have problems of instability.  It makes me wonder if it's something personal! Laughing out loud

I would appreciate any assistance available.  Thank you.

    I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

    See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]

    Any idea?

    Hmm... it's strange?  :|

    The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

    I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.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 Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

    NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

  • Updates Windows Vista system never works

    Error (s) found:

    I really wanted a solution to this problem, but have not found anything, and the search for the solution is quite tiring and confusing. Of course, I think because my system is quite outdated it affects the performance of my computer with my antivirus software also.

    I have the Windows Service Pack 1 installed. I noticed that there is a Windows Service Pack 2, but I don't know if that does not solve the problem either.
    I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my computer, are there other specific information about what system?

    Anyway, if I could get feedback with the solution described in measures specific on how to fix... I would be eternally grateful!

  • I can't update KB970710 and get error 8007002.

    I can't update KB970710 and get error 8007002.  This is an important update.  I went to the Microsoft web page, and it explains how to download the update in safe mode.  In safe mode I can't have in the center of update by using the Start button and pressing the update of windows.  The funny thing about all this is that the update does not load because of my virus program which is essential to MICROSOFT security.  Please help me.  I fear that my computer may be at risk because I was not able to download from 17/06/11, since it was released.
