You will need to maybe reset the Windows Update components, download the Microsoft fix - it from the link and run the wizard that automatically resets the windows update components, if it does not, I recommend that reset you manually update windows components from the link:

  • My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

    My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

    and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

    That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

    The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

    I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

    If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

    Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

    Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

    Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

    Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

    Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

    Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

    After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

  • Windows Update not working do not Error Message and Windows Defender cannot update Error Message definitions

    I have a laptop Dell 1501 with Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

    I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

    I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

    -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

    -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

    -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

    -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

    Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

    I am at my wit's end and do not want to crash and burn my computer.

    I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

    Thank you.

    I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

    My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

    I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

    I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

    I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

    Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

    We inform you to open a slot during your day or even open your day for the problem to be solved.

    Mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they had to remind me the next day to make the order for the disk because it could not be done the same day.

    The more patient and kind you are, the best representative.

    Hope this helps and thanks for reading,.

    The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

    In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.
