• New on windows - question about installations of update failed

  I am new to Windows, but recently purchased a netbook with Windows 7. I also installed Norton Internet Security.  I do not use the netbook every day, so every time I restart, I ensure that I update Windows and Norton.  Today, I watched the history of update and discovered that some elements did not install on other occasions. I don't know whether to worry about this or not.  If the elements have failed to install, say, two weeks ago, Windows Update would not try to install them again when I ran the update engine then?  I have received no notification on this topic - I just noticed this by looking at the history of update.

  While some of the elements initially appear in history as 'impossible' later appear as "successful", I can't find two articles among the facilities of 'success'  They are:

  (1) definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (. 1.79.702.0) and

  (2) definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (1.75.377.0.)

  Since the date where these two updates could not be installed, there are several successful installations of security for Windows upgrades and updates security cumulative for Internet project.

  I am now, I was wondering if the above is not updates of definition for Defender could have been included in the broader future updates.  Or should I still worry that these two items do not have install and try to do it manually?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  If you use Norton 360, please turn off windows Defender. If the Defender and norton are running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

  It is very important to update the virus definitions regularly. Otherwise you will not be protected against the latest threats

  Swede08, Norton 360 provides complete protection. However for a home user, I won't recommend that Norton 360 or other paid antivirus solutions

  You can use Microsoft security essentials. Its free of cost. Its your choice and depends on you and what kind of protection you need

  I hope the above information helps you

• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

• A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

  Hello world.

  I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

  The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

  I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

  I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

  If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

  Hello

  Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

• XP Home Edition limited question user account windows updates.

  Is windows assume update in limited user accounts?  This is not to do it for me.   When you are logged as long as limited user, I can only run windows updates with ' run as ' administrative rights and windows updates will be download but do not settle.  I have to log on to the administrator user account to install the updates.  Therefore, it seems that for individuals (notwithstanding a technical and complicated solution) you must be connected to the computer account admin to install windows updates.  Is this correct?  Thank you.

  As for the specific error I was getting when you try to manually run windows update in LUA, where I could download but not, the error was "Windows could not install the following update with error 0x8024200e'

  It isn't the mistake that we would expect to see if the user account was not permission to install updates (for example, 0x8007F002), especially in WinXP Home Edition.

  This gives a shot:

  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. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty mode and then AGGRESSIVE and DEFAULT. [1]

  5. restart & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] you must be aware that the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your history of update (to the Windows Update Web site), but will not affect the updates listed in Add/Remove programs.

• Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

  OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

  Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

  Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

  I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
  or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
  others).

  The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
  Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
  to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
  Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

  To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
  and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.

• Question about activating windows and media used for installation

  Intel Visual BIOS 2 my computer on board DZ87KLT - 75 K (Firmware updated) can not detect the optical drive as boot EFI device. So I made a bootable USB flash drive to my system OEM Windows 7 Pro x 64 DVD manufacturer who (USB flash drive) my system detect successfully as efi boot device. My question is if I do a windows 7 clean install with EFI enabled using the flash drive on the same computer that runs this window for the last 9 months, there will be an activation problem to not use the DVD?

  The problem is that your key is already used. He'll have to re - install Windows by using the same key (as long as it's the same motherboard and not a replacement) phone activation.

• Question about make Windows 7 genuine?

  Hi I have a 4530 HP's Probook which has Windows 7 Professional on this topic. I deleted the recovery partition and couldn't make it back so I went to digital river which is 100% free and legal Web site where you can download windows 7 as an ISO file. I did and I got Windows 7 Home Premium. So I downloaded the Home Premium ISO file and then I downloaded Daemon Tools Lite 4. And run the ISO on this software. It worked and now I have a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop now. But when I went to enter my product key a pop - up and says error product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows 7. You must run the installer of Windows 7 or enter a product key Windows 7 Home Premium.  So I went again downloaded Digital River Windows 7 Professional and he ran with daemon tools and it said that exactly this installation disc is not compatible with your version of Windows. To upgrade, you need the correct installation disc. For more information, see your computer's system information. To install a new copy of windows, restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc, and then select custom (advanced option). What is the correct installation disc and how to get out of this mess. I prefer not to spend money just to let you know but if I have to. Thank you.

  Its sounds like you finally download the correct edition of Windows 7 for your machine (Windows 7 Professional), but its likely that you have downloaded the 64 bit version, which is not a problem. What you need to do is a custom starting from Windows 7 64-bit installation, cannot start the installer for a 64-bit version of Windows 7 32-bit version of Windows 7.

  In other words, will not be able to facilitate the installation of Daemon Tools. You'll either need to burn the. ISO file onto a blank DVD or create a bootable on USB with 4 GB of free space.

  Burn it to a blank DVD:

  ImgBurn - supporting the creation of CD more. ISO files,

  It supports a wide range of image file formats, and it's free.

  (BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, MDS, NRG, PDI and ISO)

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  http://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/display/G/Burning+ISO+images+with+ImgBurn

  Note: Use always slower burning (4 x or 2 x) speed is offered a choice.

  Create a bootable copy on a USB key:

  Once we have the .iso file, they may want to use the Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a DVD or bootable USB (requires a blank DVD or USB flash to at least 4 GB key).

  

  After preparing the installation media:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-from-a-Windows-7-installation-disc-or-USB-flash-drive
  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
