Suggestions on how to update Microsoft Updates when a computer has not been upadted in one year
have a laptop with Vista on it. The laptop has not been updated (it has been used) in almost a year. I know that there must be a TON of updates it needs Microsoft.
Another concern that the amount of updates that will be found will crush the computer. How can I update in a safe and less massive way?
I thought to download all the updates, but simply install a little at a time.
But I think that the amount of download will be as overwhelming
Repost
check marks beside the updates you want to install.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 90% of the edits, even those labeled as 'critical' no effect not me. I don't use Outlook for e-mail, I do not use Windows Live Mail, is not a server, it is not a media center, is not a game platform, etc., etc.
I had long climbed out of the car "must always be updated software" long, particularly when it comes to and because of Microsoft updates.

original title: help with IPv6
I received a notification from yahoo that my computer has not been configured to run IPv6 properly and that this IPv4 will not be available much longer, so I need to update in order to continue to access the internet. Is this a correct information? I'm under edition family vista with service Pack 2 and the system is about 3 years old. I installed an update within the last few months. If I need to update microsoft will release updates or will it be found elsewhere? Thank you
Laura
Hello
Don't worry, IPv4 will be here for many years to come.
In any case, IPv6 on Vista is not a simple matter, it can be used by it takes a while to set up.

Win 7 is IPv6 ready out of the box.

Whenever I try to install KB2530548 it apears to install then subsequently it said my computer was not set up correctly, so it reverts to the previous settings. Did somebody solve this problem?
Hi paul jabru,.
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forum.
Install the update in a clean boot State, try. This will eliminate any software conflict if that is what causes the update fails. You can also run a full scan with your antivirus. If necessary, you can use the free sanc provided by Microsoft Security Essentials.
You can also check the integrity of your system files by running a scan SFC and the consistency of your hard drive by running chkdsk. For the chkdsk command, follow these steps:
- Restart your computer and immediately press the F8 key until you reach the Advanced Startup Menu of Options.
- In the menu, select Safe mode with command prompt.
- At the command prompt, type chkdsk/r (there is a space between the k and /)
Before finishing the chkdsk command, as a precautionary measure, make sure you have a recent backup important data.

Hi all - I have another laptop which has remained unused for probably over a year or more, and I want to start using it again. It works under XP, and currently has Service Pack 2 installed. My question is: is it safe to connect to the internet now and start downloading all the required Windows updates? My concern is that, as just like the anti-virus, firewall, even Windows itself have not been updated in so long, it would be imprudent to start the internet connection at this point? Is it safe to go forward and to connect and update, or is it better to download updates etc on another computer, put it on a disc/USB and then use it to install updates? Thanks in advance!
Consider that he is therefore authorized to connect the computer to our broadband services to update the anti-anti-virus/firewall?
Yes, as long as the firewall is turned on and that's the first thing you do online (i.e., no surfing, no audit e-mail, no chat, no download of anything else).
The Windows Security Center will let you know if something went wrong.
You're welcome and thank you very much for your comments!

My son tried to update the OS and now it will not be in service in any OS. Does not see the hard drive. But after the spin cycle for more than an hour, it goes into the black screen Darwin/BSD (my-name - Computer.loca) (console)
Login: IOATAController buses blocking device.
I tried to boot from the OS disk and may not see the hard drive to load to. I even used disk utility to erase all hoping to make just a re-install.
Did he talk about Darwin?
Also do not know if she had 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4 charged thereon.
If the HARD drive is not visible in disk utility, then he is dead and must be replaced. When you start the computer to the disconnect is that the operating system cannot find a reader from which to load the OS. The last iBook G3 came with 10.4.11. The first iBook G3 came with 10.3.9. Many models of iBook G3, so I don't know what version of the OS is the minimum requirement for your.

Satellite A200 PSAE0E - no display after the update of the BIOS has not
Hi all
I have Toshiba A200 PSAE0E. I got the Vista OS to Xp.
When I tried to upgrade the BIOS setting, the system frozed.I reformulated the system using the power button. There is no display on my screen when restarting.
I tried to restart by pressing F1, F2, key to the House and even removed the battery for a while, until what there is no display on my screen.I even tried connection and an external monitor, but that also there is no display.
At the moment I don't have any sort of recovery disk.I would be very happy if someone could help me.
Hello
To me, it seems that the BIOS update procedure has failed.
For no apparent reason has frozen the system and you have interrupted the update procedure.According to mu ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) has not been flashed properly and this is the reason why you cannot start the laptop.
In this case, you need the help of ASP I know, this really stupid s situation but I'm afraid there is no alternative to m.
I think that the technician will try to flash the ROM module using a special BIOS and then the cell phone should start properly if all goes well. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Good luck

Hello ShawnKohl,
We can also try to go back to a time where he worked with system restore.
Once this has been done, check the hat of Windows updates are available and hide the audio driver updates that are available.
System Restore:
Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

Please note that in addition to that, the advice of the previous poster remains true: we want to get the latest audio driver on the system of the manufacturer.
Best regards
