  • Problem message 66 a updated windows and performace error on Windows Vista

    Original title: windows update error

    I have problems to download windows updates.  I bought new spyware, PC unleashed and already have Norton. I tried everything I could think of to fix this.  I changed the settings, cleaned records etc. nothing works.  Considering that I know almost nothing about IT, I'm there winging.  My computer is Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  It's a gateway bought about 2 years ago.  He sometimes stops for no reason (no blue screen of death again).  I am desperate to solve this problem, but reluctant to take it to a computer repair store.  I tried Microsoft Fix Center several times and tried different repairs but still nothing.  Don't know what happened but suddenly, the computer is slower and updates do not work.

    I'm afraid to do too much fear I may damage my computer or worse.  I received the error 66 has time and time again.  I have received various messages which have failed since April but didn't know it was because my computer was always a small icon of security under the start menu that tells me to stop and install the updates so I could do this after I was using the computer think he was installing updates , but obviously none of them.  Now I can't even count how many updates have not been installed.

    Due to the scans, I have ran, it was said that my computer has high speed, a lot of RAM etc... but I have problems of instability.  It makes me wonder if it's something personal! Laughing out loud

    I would appreciate any assistance available.  Thank you.

  • 80072efd error when updating windows and messenger

    Hey my update log indicates that the last update, I was able to install and DL was 11.12.2008 after the computer I (we) gave this error message: 80072efd.

    I tried to do the steps in the resolution of the problems, but I do not have an antivirus program today (closed subscription) and my windows firewall is the default value.
    I would just wipe the HD and reinstall Vista but I just recently failed at that and my other laptop is now in the service department: S

    I studied, google and claimed a solution on this issue and at least 10 other technical sites. There is none and to be honest, I don't think that there will be a. I found references to the problem 80072 efd dating from the Vista RC and have NEVER seen a solution. Well, you can wipe your hard drive and re install if you have a disk in the windows retail, but I call that a 'solution' that is just nuking everything you have and start over again. Kind of like having a house where the entry door won't lock so shave you this House down and rebuild AnotherOne coming soon that resembles it in the same place once you have thrown debris...

    Note: I'm sorry, I do not see your Messenger reference. I saw that it fixed when messenger is the cause. Read the solution "swanands" on THIS thread and see if it works. It is one of several solutions I've seen work for 80072 EFD for MESSENGER.

  • Icons and type suddenly too big and broad

    In the middle of a PowerPoint presentation the other day, the type and icons on my screen, everything changed resolution. Windows icons on my desktop are now enlarged, any type is blurry and Gmail and other windows open too wide. I can't understand how to undo some changes have occurred. What is the best way to format my computer to default mode (small icons, strong resolution) that has existed for years before this PP presentation?

    Hello

    There are a few things you can try:

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    If that fixed it, go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download Section > then key in your computer model number > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.

    Then try to change the screen resolution.

    Or do a system restore to before that happened.

  • Together, everything is too big.

    I updated FF nite last and this morning everything is too great - which means that the entire screen is HUGE. I want to just go back to the previous version. That's all.

    The problem will not directly caused by the update and will not be helped by decommissioning. I'm also not quite sure what you mean by everything.

    The negative pole of the meu affects the webpage contained zoom (keyboard shortcut Ctrl + - {press & hold down the control and tap key less), will do the same. CTRL + 0 {zero becomes the default setting)

    You say everything, the entire screen is huge.

    • Is it only Firefox who is affected?
      Where are the other programs and windows affected and perhaps even of the icons on the Windows desktop?
    • If a single Firefox is affected is only the content of a Web page which is huge. Or are all things related to Firefox very large and modified, including menus and icons for the home page and of the bookmarks icon.
