• I did the update for Firefox 7 but when I open Firefox, it tells me that I must upgrade to the latest version which I have, how do I fix?

  I keep my Firefox constantly updated, but in recent weeks Gmail has been telling me that I use an older version that she can't stand even though I have the updated version. I was warned that Firefox could be updated to the latest version, I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to upgrade to the latest version that I had already done. How can I fix?

  Having both versions is a possibility. The other is that the user agent is stuck to the old version of Firefox 3.5.3 due to some extension.

  Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
  You can open the topic: config page through the address (address) bar just like you open a Web site.

  Filter: general.useragent

  If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.

  We could probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent as the extension toolbar to Fast Browser Search added at some point and therefore the uptight version of Firefox. This problem has been resolved from Firefox 4.0.

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• The Microsoft/Windows Update errors and updates failed.

  I just had to make YET ANOTHER Destructive full restore my win Vista PC, regular and continuous errors and problems caused by who knows what and the fact that the system restore never worked once in 10 years of friggin! My PC tries to run Win' Vista (SP2) and all the new updates that are applied after SP2. I also run Norton Internet Security (fully updated). I would like to re - install Office 2007 again once more, but I'm reluctant to until I get an answer to the following problem, because whenever I have re-installed Office 2007 I get Office update errors as well. I do not yet have enough away with this recovery to even think about re - install "other apps" again. My problem is that a heck of a lot more than several updates that were 'available' over time since I bought this pc (which didn't even have SP1 on it when I bought it new), do not have more than several times. Finally, it seems that these updates failed stop appearing as 'available '. Currently failed updates are: IMPORTANT: KB974468; KB2729449; KB2742595; RECOMMENDED: Windows Live Essentails 2001. OPTIONAL: Bing Office 1.3.1. also failed (the current version is 1.3.3...).

  My concern about all these multiple failed updates is that if these updates ARE important, whereas they should, and at the very least, not failed to install the first time which must be installed with success the next time. There are at least 40 + other these updates on my pc (of all types) who failed the first time, but succeeded (according to Windows Update), the second time. After doing a search and try to install these updates above manually from the Microsoft Download Center, I got a response that these updates "are not" or "are blocked by another condition on my computer. What 'State' is probably I wonder? Makes me think anyone or whatever decide an update IS important for a particular system is wrong either (and the update is NOT important at all) and so it does not yet appear in the list of "update available", or it IS important and there is another unknown or error "NO that does NOT exist. preventing the update to be applied. I say no because maybe this unknown error also cites a number of error that is not found by the completely useless online "windows help and support!

  If an update is NOT or is no LONGER available, then why hell is he always recommended! ??? In all cases, "Windows Live Essentials 2011" settles, and looking for 'help' by selecting "get help with this error" I am taken to the "windows help and support" line (which doesn't help at all). That's because this 'aid' shows only 26 'results' and NONE of them include error numbers (800706... and two instances of 66A) city. ANY help will be VERY much appreciated (epecially on the part of MVP, who have been a great help in the past) cordially Andy Bob :) :) :) :)

  Let's start from the beginning.

  Lets first see what happened with your drive.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   

  change c:\bootex.log

   
  What is this file exist with something in it?
   
  The following commands query the event logs.
   
  To start verification by using the name of the source for any version of Windows (because it varies).
   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Autocheck" or sourcename = 'Winlogon' or sourcename = "WinInit") get format:HForm

   
  To run chkdsk in Windows.
   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Chkdsk") to / format: HForm

   
  For warnings about disk problems detected during normal operations and automatic repairs by Windows at the time where the problems were discovered.

   

  WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "NTFS" or Sourcename = 'Disc') to / format: HForm

   
  Then to view the created file.
   

  Start "" "% userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html"

   

  Copy and paste it here. Again run the commands again after doing the below.

  Then to test the equipment.

  Standard hardware troubleshooting
   
   
  First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...

   

  Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

   
  Diagnosis of memory

  If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.

   

  S.M.A.R.T
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
   
  WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List

   

  If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.

   

  Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.

   

  In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
   
  Run chkdsk

  In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.
   
  SFC
  Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   
  sfc/scannow
   
  Heat
  Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.
   
  For memory diagnostic results
  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.

   

  Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

   
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
  
  For results of Chkdsk
   
  You can ignore this if you performed the first series of commands again.
   
  Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.

   

  Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
  Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
  Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
  Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk
  
  Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
  Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
  Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk
  
  Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
  Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
   
  PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
   
  If the results are transferred to the startup time events logs chkdsk, then the results are probably in the following file c:\Bootex.log. This file is removed when the results are placed in the event logs.
   
  For the results of the SFC
  Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
   

  findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "

   

  It will be able to see which files are corrupted.

   

  To see if there

   

  findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

   

  There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.

   

   

  You say that you have had continuous problems. But if you want to jump the gun to fire a bit.

   

  More details about the error

  To decode 0 x 80070002. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of Eastern 2, the number, the Windows error.

   

  To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 2 Menu display - decimal. It will say 2.

   

  Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type

   

  net helpmsg 2

   

  and it will say

   

  The system cannot find the specified file.

   

  Use Notepad to search for FATAL and and the specific error code (for example, 80070002) in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.

   

  Windows errors (smallish numbers) and COM HRESULT values (in general, but with exceptions, start with an 8 as 0 x 80040154) are defined in WinError.h, except 8007nnnn where you are looking for the error Window number it contains.

   

  As a general rule, Windows errors are less than 65 535 (0xFFFF). Errors from 0 x 80000001 are HResults Component Object Model (COM). Errors from 0 xC0000001 NTStatus results.

   

  NTStatus errors (usually, but not always to start with a C as 0xC0000022) are defined in NTStatus.h.

   

  the .h files are the best source because it includes the symbolic name of the error that can give clues such as the source of the error
  . FormatMessage does not have the symbolic name as the description.
   
  You get these files by downloading the kit of Development Platform (that's gigabytes)
