    I suggest you to contact the Apple support on this issue, then follow link below:
  • Can configure is no longer Windows Vista update to include the updates for other Microsoft products (Office, Visual Studio, etc.).

    I once had a problem with Windows Update, which gives me a family of .NET Framework through the window of Control Panel\Windows to update to Windows Vista, even if it has been installed and has Microsoft support help me through EasyAssist. The problem of .NET Framework has been fixed, but now I have a problem: the Control Panel\Windows update window informs me today I'll receive downloads for Windows only, not for all Microsoft products.
    When I click on "Change settings", the Microsoft Update option is no longer present.
    When I click on the link 'Get' updates for more products, I am now redirected to the former site of Windows Update V4 (who is not supposed to appear on Windows Vista) instead of Microsoft Update, and this site Web of Windows Update cannot detect the Vista updates.
    So I'm stuck now with only being able to get informed about the upgrades to Windows, but not other updates from Microsoft. And we don't mean Windows Vista x 64 final with the last Windows Update Agent 7.2.6001.788. This new update would be the culprit?

    Hi Unicodemaster787,

    Even if it is not automatic, you should be able to get your updates from the Microsoft Download center http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/en/default.aspx

    Other than that, your best bet would be to do a repair install and let the system to reinstall the original files and settings.

    When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows Vista to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows Vista.

    To perform a repair of Windows Vista installation, follow these steps:

    1. Restart the computer.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

      Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, click Start, type : \setup.exe in the Search box, and then click configuration in the list programs. Then click on install now.

    3. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
    4. Insert the product key if you are prompted to do so.
    5. Click to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
    6. On the screen which type of installation you want , click upgrade.
    7. Once the installation is complete, restart the computer, and then try again to install updates.

    Remember, however, that it could undo previous changes to solve your problems of .net.

  • Svchost.exe Microsoft address files Norton Security

    Whenever I have check the history of my PC security in Norton 360, I'm getting several reports of svchost.exe Microsoft attack different Norton Security files.  Why svchost.exe continually present my Norton Security files?  I need to change some settings in Microsoft to prevent this?  I see no reason why it should happen, but if the actions of svchost are valid and necessary, they are not completed.  Please tell me if they are valid, how can I activate them?

    Thank you

    I'm surprised that any Norton product you did not remove the malware.

    Sometimes, the security software removes the infected DLL file but does not remove the configuration of system remains which attempts to load the DLL file (with the help of svchost or a similar mechanism) at the start of the system.  This usually gives some error messages like "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\mopscatp.dll" where the name of the DLL file is usually a random string of letters and numbers.  If this is the case, you must remove the registry entry that causes the auto start.  It is best to do this using Autoruns (a free tool from Microsoft).

    That, however, does not resemble the situation you have.

    In any case, I suggest that you download, install, update and run a full scan with each of the following free programs.  Do not get the test of the 'Professional' of each program version.  Be careful during the installation process that you do not inadvertently install software "add on" such as the Ask toolbar, which the editor trying to sneak into the installer.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan can take some time, depending on the size of your hard drive, so start an and then go for a non computer chore for a couple of hours.  Once the scan is completed, allow the program to remove or quarantine everything it finds.

    When finished, I suggest you uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware (which I find to be more intrusive I like) but keep MalwareBytes AntiMalware as well as every week or so, you can update the MBAM database and do a scan.

  • Save the scan document to Microsoft Word

    I can't change the settings of Microsoft Scan to allow saving a document as a Word. doc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello rcohan6168,

    As your question relates to Microsoft Word, you will get a much better response if you posted the question Word Forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/word?tab=Threads

    As far as I know a scanned document is automatically saved as a .bmp or jpeg. This is because the ' scan ' is in fact a photograph of this document after scanned by your scanner. I could be wrong, but I don't think that you can actually save the document as a .doc file - well not unless you actually cut and copy the .bmp/jpeg file into a word document, and then save.

    However, the above is only my thoughts. Try posting the question in the forum of Word and see if someone else can give you more information.

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

  • Delete "Check for Updates" Microsoft Office 2010 - GPO

    I'm working on the packaging of various components of Microsoft Office 2010, such as the shared components, the Office Software Protection Platform Service, Visio (all flavors) and project (Standard and Pro).  I wanted to delete "Check for Updates" in the Help menu.  I installed the Office administrative templates on my machine to capture, added models to gpedit.msc and open administration-> Microsoft Office 2010 templates-> disable UI elements-> "disable the commands on the file tab | Help»  I ran a prescan, then I activated the strategy, checked the box to remove the "Check for Updates" and click OK.

    I open Visio and checked that the 'Check for Updates' button is greyed out.  I closed my Visio and performed a scan of post and saved the project.  I looked in all the files in the registry text.  I pulled the text below in the file HKEY_CURRENT_USER.txt, added to the lower part of the same file in my project of exisitng Visio, run build.bat, cleared out the old sandbox, launched Visio, and the button is grayed.

    My question: this application will encounter problems with Group Policy objects, or the complete isolation on these entries mode settings will be sufficient to keep the setting?
