Hello mjdgehri,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

I would try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. Click the number of the KB article for a link to download the utility.
KB Article ID: 290301 -use the Windows Install CleanUp to remove Office 2000, Office XP or Office 2003

You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

If please reply back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

    Nadia. PA supporter said that your computer is hacked. He may be right. I can't weigh because I don't know what led him to this conclusion. If your computer is hijacked, then you should address that more that you need to fix this minor update. However, under the resolution of your problem to update, you can try this:

    Assume Windows XP

    Check the C:\Windows\System32\ directory for the presence of the file tzchange.exe

    If the file is not present or if the version of the file is not 5.1.2600.6171 or newer...

    Download the update appropriate 2633952 for your platform here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2633952

    Run with - extract switch (e.g., Start > run > "[path to the downloaded file] \WindowsXP-KB2633952-x86-ENU.exe"-x)

    Of course, replace [path to the downloaded file] with the path to the downloaded file.

    Citations may or may not be required depending on the path. Place the x - out the citations if you use them.

    Choose a location for the extracted files (a new folder is recommended)

    Locate the extracted files. File tzchange.exe you want and copy it into C:\windows\System32

    That rerun Windows Update detection to see if the problem is resolved.

  • "No Audio device" all at once on Windows XP, how to fix this?

    Just for information:

    -A long time ago I started to use a headset on my laptop (Toshiba) to online conferences. Its has worked well for the helmet and on the laptop's built-in speakers.

    -A month there are built-in speakers stopped working, and I could only hear things in my helmet.

    -J' recently lost my helmet so now I can't hear anything.

    -When to check the control panel and click sounds and Audio devices, it says "No. Audio Device" and all options are disabled.

    -When you open Device Manager, the "Other devices" directory is open and all the devices listed in it have icons of yellow question mark with dots exclamation mark next to them.

    -J' tried to uninstall the devices listed in the "Other devices" directory and leave the window reinstall them on reboot - I read on another site - but every time I did nothing has changed.

    -The directory of sound, video and game controllers has 5 things listed in there: Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy video Capture devices, media control, Audio Codecs, Codecs video devices. None of them have all the icons next to them warning.

    -When right click on each one and select "update driver", each of them come in saying that 'impossible to find a better match the software currently installed. I don't know if it's just to check my system or if it also checks the internet.

    So, what are the options I am left with now? I need to do some work with videos, looking at them on their media player and their change in Movie Maker, and I keep says that the audio hardware cannot be found "required" and I can't use the app.
