• Help! -Windows Update stuck on repeat without end (WIN 7 Home Premium)

  Last Saturday, I had to do a factory reset on my desktop Dell under Win 7 Home Premium (8 GB of RAM).  He gave me some Windows updates, then told me that I had to install the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"  It installed successfully but since that time, if I check the updates, it "checks" just continuously for updates and that's it.   I let it run all night - nothing.  I have received no updates for M/S Office, Windows, or anything else since the update agent successfully installed.

  What is the cause?  I went to start, all programs, and click Windows Update.  I ran Windows Update from the control panel.  Same result - nothing.

  I'm so frustrated.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

• IE8 crashes after KB980182 installed on Win 7 Home Premium

  After problems with IE8 crashing and crashing Outlook Office 2007 Pro Client and Windows Explorer crash and restart perpetually, I reinstalled Win 7 Home Premium OS (custom, no upgrade, make clean) and manually installed all updates. one by one, checking for any loss of functionality after each update.

  All did, except, as expected, KB980182, cumulative security update for IE8.  Now, IE8 crashes at the opening.  None of the stuff with clean boot (msconfig) or uninstall and reinstall IE8 work.  Does anyone know of one solution other than to simply remove KB980182?

  I had the same problem initially and my event viewer did indicate errors of pagination against my hard drive, which was a Kipper.

  First check Windows Update for optional updates.  In my case, there were 2 driver update available (one for the ethernet controller) and one for the card graph.  After installing these and install all the other critical updates, I seem to be working good now.

• How to make a Win Vista Home Premium PC to operate in "XP Mode"?

  Hello

  My Win Vista Home Premium PC cannot 'see' my Canon Lide 30 Scanner or work with my Canon printer i865. Install the software and drivers on the provided disks not even because of "compatibility issues".

  For this reason the "updates available" on the Canon site (for applications and drivers on the disks) only will be not installed because 'old' versions are not on my pc.

  My pc can 'see' - if that is the right word - my printer in settings, but no further acknowledges that this, and even when the printer is turned on it will not even try to print anything.

  If I can still understand how to get the Vista pc to "run in xp mode" - assuming there is an 'xp mode' for Windows vista to use - this will allow my computer to use the printer and scanner.

  There is nothing really wrong with the printer or scanner while they worked fine with the XP pc.

  Software compatibility problems are more precisely to do with two pilots and the ocr software for the scanner and ALL the drivers and the software of the printer.

  I hope someone can help because I don't want to have to get a different printer/scanner (or upgrade to Win 7 - will this regognise OS my printer and scanner?)

  These options are all too expensive.

  Thanks for any help

  Bob

  Hello Bob,

  Compatibility mode is supposed to help eleviate problems not to cause even more problems :-)

  You can actually get some decent printer/scanner price FRO reasonable combinations of our days. You could try (if in the United Kingdom) is Wilkinson (Wilko) stores; W.H.Smith; and Ryman.

  Another alternative is to dual-boot your server (assuming you have aretail copy of XP). This invloves XP install on another partition on your hard drive. The only drawback is that you would have to boot XP to use your printer (assuming that you keep your current).

  I currently have a brother printer copy Scanner that I bought the Ryman stationery, a few years ago. I only paid about £50 for it at the time. My only problem with the brother machine is that there is no way (on my model in any case) to turn the printer off cleaning option. As the PC and the printer are in my room the printer starts always clean at about 04:00. It is not fun to be surprised into a deep sleep by strange noises coming from the printer :-)

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Photosmart B8550 stopped printing from Win 7 Home Premium

  I have a Photosmart B8550 for several years. It allows to print from my installation of Win 7 Home Premium, but not now. I tried several fixes, UN-installations driver and re-facilities, including what is described in a thread that has begun on this forum on 15/07/13. The cumulative result is that I can print beautiful pages of diagnostics software HP Solution Center, but nothing of any windows-based application, or a test page from the printer properties page in Control Panel. When I click the "Printing Test Page" button on the printer properties page, I see the page Flash briefly in the series B8500 printer queue window and disappear - but no page is printed. Is there a fix I've not seen? Is what it means the printer has fried? Is there a last attempt, I can do before (probably literally) grabs it by the window?

  Thank you.

  My Windows 7 is 64-bit, I was installing the latest full driver from the Web site package and I have a USB connection. Using Windows update has failed. In the meantime, I found that printing from a USB key works fine.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Forum.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. If you have recently reinstalled the operating system?
  2. Did you do last changes made on your computer before the show?

  Try it out below mentioned methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  I suggest to refer to the link below and run the troubleshooting in construction tool and check if it works for you. You can also refer to different steps.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/tips-for-fixing-common-driver-problems

   

  Method 2:

  Start the computer in the Advanced Startup Options and disable the driver signing verification.

  The Advanced Boot Options screen lets you start Windows in advanced troubleshooting mode.
  Restart your computer. As soon as the boot process starts you hear a beep, start pressing F8 on your keyboard. Instead of loading normal Windows, Windows Advanced Options appears.

  Select this to disable driver signature enforcement and check with the question. This allows drivers containing a bad signatures must be installed.

• problem with upgrade from xp to win 7 Home premium

  After an update from xp to win 7 home premium and unable to play games, I found that xp and win 7 Home premium are not compatible. Is it possible to install vista (well that it may not be registered on this pc because I will only be borrow) then directly upgrade to win 7 Home premium?

  Have you tried to install the games in Mode "compatibility"?

  What is program compatibility?
  Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that allows you to run programs written
  for earlier versions of Windows. Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7,
  but some older programs might run poorly or not at all.

• Satellite A200 - Vista Home Premium to ultimate upgrade

  Hi back from the guy with a new query.

  "" I'm looking to upgrade Vista Home Premium to Ultimate... checked the requirements of what is known on the "Windows anytime upgrade" site and I can you there is a lot of conflicting ideas on how its all done up to the fact that I would need a disc to upgrade mailed to me.

  After reading a few other forums recently, the answer lies in what you guys can or perhaps are not able to advise me... and the question is:

  Only the so-called "rescue disk" provided with the purchase, IE the Windows operating system disk... ALL CONTAIN THE ' VISTA "SYSTEMS AVAILABLE..." Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate? and very unlikely, but she coded upgrade or anything like that, as its meant to be to perform upgrades?

  Thanks a lot again in anticipation of your kind comments

  Andrew.

  Firs of all I think you should know that it is a forum for users and to my knowledge, there is no guy from Toshiba which could provide instructions.
  I know, it's, your Toshiba Recovery DVD contains the same Win Vista that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  It seems that you bought this laptop with Vista Home Premium and this operating system should be placed on the recovery media.

  Please DON t mix the Toshiba Recovery DVD with a DVD of new, original and clean Microsoft Vista.
  Toshiba Recovery contains an image include the OS, drivers, tools and additional software.
  It s already active.

  The MS Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista but to use a version of Vista that a right serial key must be inserted.

  Hope I could make a clarification.

  Concerning
