  Hi guys

  I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

  Thank you

• Cannot install Windows PLUS updates. -Modules Windows Installer has stopped working...

  original title: cannot install MORE Windows updates.

  Greetings, people. My computer will download, but not install many of the windows updated.

  I think it's because of 'message "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed". Is this correct?

  Can I fix it myself? Thank you, Bob

• _ "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" ___Host that process for Windows Services has stopped working as was the closed .___The system not found the environment option entered .___User control of accounts

  I tried to download a 'Virtual Villagers' Limewire program (what was I thinking?) and then I had all these virus that messed up my computer big time.

  I have the error messages are:

  Host process for Windows Services has stopped working as was closed.

  The system could not find the environment option that was entered.

  When I try to install the updates:

  "WindowsUpdate_800700CB" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  The change I made before all this was trying to install Limewire "Virtual Villagers" program.

  I tried to go through the files and remove the sources of the Trojans, I ran several scans Malware Bytes (each indent to 4 Trojan horses, Rpot Kits, Ad/Spyware every time) and recently tried the Windows scanner. Who found 2 Trojan horses and withdrawn. Subsequently, I made a Malware Bytes scan which found 1 Trojan and I removed it.

  I'm not able to create, delete or modify anything in the UAC. Uninstall the habit of most of the things I try to uninstall programs and features. I'm more able to control the volume on my computer with the arrow keys and Fn. My Gallery of photos will not preview more and my computer will not install updates. My computer turns off without warning a lot and takes awhile where I can turn it back on and I hope not to have it close back 20 minutes. I try to use the system restore, but it won't work. I don't have a Windows Vista disc.

  How I have difficulty to all this and permanently delete all viruses and malware?

  Hello

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: Try to create another user profile, and then test to see if the problem persists

  If you do not have a different user account, you will need to create a (see link below). If everything works fine with a different user profile, you can infer that the user profile is damaged, click on the link to find out how to solve this problem.

• Windows Installer has stopped working and access is denied installation KB942288-V3

  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 have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error.   Access is denied. "

  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?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello Kaiser,

  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.

• Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2

  Hello

  My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week).  I get no error message at all.  It simply doesn't get it.  The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features".  When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.

  I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase).  I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.

  At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3.  All scans is come-up 100% clean!

  I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not.  As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.

  Windows Update online might work.  I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.

  Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either.  It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.

  Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.

  Any thoughts on the subject?  I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not.  Laughing out loud.  I have my drive so.  :-)

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Original title: windows control panel has stopped working

  When I went to install my Rosetta Stone program it showed Windows has stopped working and then installed the program and when I put the cd in my computer saids windows control panel has stopped working and cannot read the cd

  Hello

  You say "Control Panel has stopped working" or "Windows Explorer has stopped working"?

  Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if that helps:

  Start the computer in a clean boot state

  Start your computer in a clean boot state, and check if your computer is able to read the CD. Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Hello

  Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

  You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
  on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

  -------------------------------------------------

  If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
  program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
  much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
  of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
  http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  I hope this helps.
