I diagnose the network connection and he came back with no problems found. I can download & install Microsoft Security Essentials, but I get error 0x80072EFE when I try to update. Note: MSE seems to update on its own, but not via the update button. I reset IE8 by default as well as the windows firewall and the IP (Winsockfix.exe) stack

  I also ran several different viruses, malware and Trojan scanners and all are own return. (AVG, Norton Security scan, MSE. I tried to run the scan to Microsoft Live, but the page froze when I tried to download it. It seems that any Microsoft Security site is blocked for some reason any. A Hijack log is available if needed?

  I had some browser redirect issues (I suspect the Virus), but it was very random and seems to have settled down. The main problem now is to get the update in the system and the MSE.

  Thank you

  Problem of bluetooth of Windows 8. Phone paired but unable to connect, says Windows phone in offline mode

  Somasundaram Mohammed. Thank you for your help and maybe you will pass on the solution to all those in need. All that is necessary is to download Bluetooth Stack Toshiba 9.10 and run it. However be careful because version 9.0 of battery is not compatible. I have now my two Android phones connected.

  Thanks again

• Unable to get the windows updates, it returns an error (often 0x8007043c and other similar)

  Original title: can't get windows updates

  I was unable to get the updates of windows - via the feature of automatic update, or through the manual method to access microsoft.com.  When I go to the microsoft update Web site, and it starts to scan my PC, it returns an error (often 0x8007043c and similar).  I tried to run Microsoft FixIt.  It tells me that windows up-to-date devices require to be repaired, but when I run the repair (problem-solving), he continues to run for hours and hours and doesn't do a thing.  How can I remove the software from the Windows Update Agent from my PC and reinstall a new version?

• Unable to connect to the Update Center

  I just finished my fifth unsuccessful attempt to install jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 on a laptop from scratch. I already had a 11.1.1.3 installation and work of the need to upgrade to 11.1.1.4 to align with the SOA server I have deploy across the network.
  
  I removed 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.1.4 facilities (via windows install/uninstall program, and then manually deleting directories that they were in), and then try to reinstall several times, remove after each unsuccessful attempt).
  
  My problem is when I try to install the extension of SOA. After the initial installation of the software in JDeveloper, I'm going to "Help"-> "check for updates... ».
  Rather than see a list of locations to update I get a popup on top of the Update Center popup, which claims that it is:
  
  Unable to connect to the internet to check updates.
  
  If you are behind a firewall or use a proxy to access web pages, check your settings of proxy below and click OK to try again.
  
  Normally, I use a url of proxy auto to manage my access to the proxy for that so I'm VPN would be in my company or not, Firefox handles my access network correctly. Because it is not an option in the context menu, I found a proxy host and tried to use it while I was VPN in. That has not helped - I tested the proxy of the popup and it failed. I Redid the installation 2 - 3 times while only had in VPN, then abandoned.
  
  So I uninstalled everything, disconnected VPN and did another fresh install. There is also no in the same way (Nothing in the center of update list and I got the same error popup).
  
  It's a mystery all that JDeveloper is really doing. It makes me crazy when the software works not seamlessly like this. I don't see what it is really doing, and the error message is useless or worse. (Why is she even suggesting that I provided a proxy when I'm straight on the internet. Why didn't he just tell me what he's trying to do, and, if I can fix it). I have a fine Internet connection that works for everything else.
  
  I know JDeveloper is still caching configuration information (my two projects appear in the list of applications), and so I guess that's also implementing caching some old login information that it does not show me. But I find no visible which erase and start over.
  
  Anyone know how to get JDeveloper to just try to connect directly to find update centers after that he cooked the old way to do it in a file somewhere hidden?
  
  Thank you

  Hello
  If JDeveloper is installed successfully, then you are good to go. Come to the addition of Extensions for SOA, BPM etc, you can do this either online (directly and update the Oracle site) or offline also. Average offline, first download the corresponding ZIP extension files for your version of 11.4 JDev as a composite model soa, bpm, Publisher etc. Then click on help-> Check For Update-> ignores errors or the pop-up windows and cancel-> them on the screen main down check the box named "install local file". Here browse and select a zip file at a time and move forward.

  http://www.Oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@OTN/documents/WEBCONTENT/156082.XML#Oracle.SCA.Modeler (Oracle SOA Composite Editor-> 11.4)
  http://www.Oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@OTN/documents/WEBCONTENT/156082.XML#Oracle.BPM.fusion.Studio (Oracle BPM Studio-> 11.4)

  For SOA/BPM, simply just above 2 extensions.

  Thank you
