• Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

  I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

  I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

  I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

  If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

  I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

  I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

  No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

  Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

  Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
  A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

  What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

  I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.

  Hi Louise,.

  This problem may occur if there is no third-party software installed on the computer or due to corrupted settings of Microsoft Security Essentials.

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  3. at the guarded computer turned on at the scheduled time?

  4. what version of anti-virus software do you use?

  Method 1:
  I suggest you uninstall if there is no third-party software installed on the computer. Uninstall the third-party antivirus software, using the removal tool on the manufacturer's Web site.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Security Essentials and check if it helps.

  See the article for more information.

  Before you have installed the Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), which was the security program that you were using? 
  The names of please.

  More important still, you did it sure previous safety program was completely uninstalled ?

  If you have Norton or McAfee before installing MSE, I suggest that run you the removal tool to remove completely all the components of the former security program.

  For Norton Remval Tool, use this download;

  For McAfee Removal Tool, use this download:

• set up of IE9 beta now the microsoft security essentials does not start

  After you have configured the security to explore 9 beta essintials program says that somethings not allowing this procedure which would cause this im running windows 7 home premium * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  After you have configured the security to explore 9 beta essintials program says that somethings not allowing this procedure which would cause this im running windows 7 home premiumEmail removed privacy

  My personal opinion...
  Any Beta program is expected to have bugs. That is why the label "beta".
  If you are a computer user accomplished and ready to test a beta program, continue to do.
  If you are just a normal daily computer user, you can stick to IE8 at the moment until the SP is set to release 'officially' the product to the general public.

  For your information only, you can uninstall IE9. The system automatically returns itself back to IE8.
  To uninstall IE9: go to programs and features > left column, install the update > scroll to find Windows Internet Explrer 9 > right click > uninstall.
  Realizing that you use Win7. The above procedure should work for Win7 machine.

• Security Center does not recognize the Windows Security Essentials

  Windows Security Essentials does not seem to register with Security Center.  Security Center reports that no Virus protection is enabled.

  1. I installed Windows XP 32 - bit WGA, activated the product and updated to SP3.

  2 security Center starts giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection, because none has been installed.

  3. I installed McAffee VirusScan.

  4 security Center stopped giving Windows security alerts for Virus protection.

  5. I uninstalled McAffee VirusScan.

  6 security Center has resumed giving Windows security alerts for protection against the viruses as before.

  7. I installed Windows Windows Security Essentials and rebooted.

  8. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Windows Security Essentials with no joy.

  Windows Security Essentials installation did not prevent Windows security alerts.  No Windows Security Essentials registry entry will appear in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Security Center and monitoring.  If Microsoft consider essential security to be an antivirus product, then how to Windows Security Essentials register with Security Center?

  I understand that this is an information and alert issue only.  I understand that Windows Security Essentials works actually ok.  I am particularly concerned by the reports.  It conditions my deployment of Windows Home Server.  Deactivation of surveillance or the alert is not a solution, just a poor quality work around.

  In a previous thread, the author of this question even abandoned and has not requested additional assistance.  An explanation was given (relevant for Windows 7), but no solution has been offered.  Windows XP has not been addressed.   http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/the-Security-Center-has-not-recorded-an-anti-virus/15ae2383-7ced-4850-A863-f7eb8cc90ee5

  I had the same problem for a while now (I'm on xp) and have searched the Internet for a solution but found nothing at the moment.

• I can't tp perform actions on email or some Web sites because the pointer does not change from a helping hand on all orders at the top of a page - any more down works fine

  In Hotmail, for example, I can open any message in the Inbox except the top one, but then I am unable to answer or to take further action because the symbol of the pointer does not change from a helping hand and clicking on has no effect.

  If I try to open the top message from the page by clicking on the command "Open" is gray.

  If I open the type of web page that has a number of menu items at the top of the page, I can't open anything either for the same reason - something more to the bottom of a page is fine. The type of Web site with menus on the sides can be used for all items except the top menu!

  How to activate Audio devices hidden in Vista and Windows 7
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/143447-audio-device-enable-hidden-devices.html

  Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
  the mic input is enabled)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

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

  Pilots may also need to be updated:

  Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
  Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

  Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
  Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

  If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

  Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
  Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

  Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
  and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
  rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
  installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.
  
  Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
