try using Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard download. Download OK, but when run gives unloading the dialog box ' encountered error / unspecified error. "

Before we go much further in troubleshooting - maybe you can prevent future question by answering a few questions (and think of them...)
 
What is the brand and model of the computer system in question?
 
The amount of memory (live RAM) system there?
 
How much space (total and free) hard disk is the system have to 'C '?
 
You have the key media and product installation of Windows XP stored in a safe place (turn off the computer itself) right now?
 
You have the installation media for everything that you have installed on this computer stored in a safe place (turn off the computer itself) right now?
 
You produced all keys or serial numbers, you may need to install the software you own / have installed now keep in a safe place (turn off the computer itself), at the moment?
 
Have you checked with the manufacturer of the computer (or individual component manufacturers) that they take over the computer (or the individual components - such as the video card, sound card, network devices, etc. inside the computer) Windows 8 and they have device drivers that will allow the Windows 8 operating system properly to communicate and use said components?
 
Did you check with the manufacturers of software for each software (programs), you have only installed the current version of their software work (or one you have / use would be wise to check on) Windows 8, and they support their software under the said operating system?
 
You have a backup of everything on the machine that is important to you - such as your emails, contacts, documents, spreadsheets, photos, drawings, your data, your music, your videos, you Internet favorites/bookmarks and everything else the stuff you've collected on this computer over time that you used it?
 
I ask this because you are about to perform a NEW installation (format, departure fees, etc.) on the machine in question.  You will need to install all the programs that are now in place and work as he was never on this system.  If it turns out that the machine is unbearable (for some reason-including speed, or simply don't like Windows 8) you will need a way to format it again and install the original (Windows XP) operating system and all the programs back.  And, of course, you probably want your stuff back also.

    Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? As of May 11, 2010 I could not access it for 2 days now.  I get an error report indicating that he has a "problem with the site '... Not sure if it's my computer or the site itself.

    ~ Jenifer

    It is without a doubt.  There were a few patches published today, and I was able to update all my machines successfully.  This looks more like a virus problem.  Have you run a virus scan recently?  Many times, if you are infected the virus will prevent you to access Windows Update.

    You can also use Microsoft Fix It to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  This could also be your problem.

    Let me know how it goes,

It is not fair on 1 computer, I have 2 desktops and 2 laptops, and it does on 4 of them. They are all running Windows 7, (1 to the publishing house, 1A Ultimate and 2 Professional).  I can right click on something, even on the desktop, and most of the time, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped and the ability to close or wait for it to respond.

  • Problem with the WIndows Update page

    I am running Windows XP with Service pack 3. Microsoft Security essentials is the security system. When trying to run Windows Update using Internet Explorer 8, at the point of the page is to check that if my system is the correct update software, the page fails, finally displaying the message "Internet Explorer has stopped to try to restore this Web site. It seems that the Web site continues to be a problem. "This is repeated each time I have repeat the initial attempt, or click 'Back to the microsoft.com site' on the error page. Is the problem with the Microsoft web page (the address is www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx ) or on my computer?

    When I try to run Windows Update... to the point that the page is to check If my system is correct, update software the page can't...  Is the problem with the web page of Microsoft ( www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx ) or on my computer?

    You are correct George: whenever you access the site Windows or Microsoft Update, Windows Update will take care of updating itself. that is, it looks for updates available from the Windows Update Agent or the customer allows you to update your system.

    Since June 21, 2012 a WUA new version 7. 6. 7600. 256 aired by WU to automatically update itself its version now aged 7. 4. 7600. 226 .

    The problem you see may occur when there is a version mismatch of the file with the Windows Update Agent files, which is a mixture of old files with the new files. This is due to an installation "or damaged."

    You can take a look at your windowsupdate.log file located in your WINDOWS directory, to check the error codes - missing files or failling updated files (especially c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wups.dll or wuweb.dll).

    You must re-register or re - install files WU in order to obtain the Service Windows Update works again. Try here:

  • Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

    Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

    I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

    Thank you
