• Update Windows components need to be repaired, and one or more components of windows are configured incorrectly.

  It is the error msg I get after I run windows repair.  How can I fix windows components?

  Thanks for your reply.  But, I found that all my problems were due to IE8.  So I deleted IE8 and

  now use IE7.  Works fine now.  I also bought a program called System Mechanic at WalMart

  for 20 dollars.  This program is great!  Makes my computer much faster than before.

• can not update; "" Windows or windows defender ' more and I lost my; "' help and support ' file system on startup. Need help to get all that, please.

  I can't update "windows" or "windows defender". Followed the steps described by Microsoft help, tried to download manually, have asked Microsoft to help (no response yet) these first two things didn't work. I even had something like; change setting.that message security came for "Windows update", I have change the security setting, did not just well, still nothing.
  Windows Defender gives me an error code that looks like this;
  Error Code 0 x 80070005
  That's all I can get, and it will not update.
  and on top of it, I've lost my "Microsoft Help and support (it) when I click Start and click Help and support, I get a (?) all help options or when I click on it nothing there is totally 'empty '.
  I have one more problem.
  I tried to defrag my computer, and I can't do it either. I get a grey screen and if I click on anylise or defragment, it does nothing, no error message or anything else. Tried to manually defragment Traore does not work, tried to load a defrag on the web program, wouldn't let me load it.
  Nobody knows what happens here? why I'm having these problems all of a sudden? I do nothing but send E-mails and read my emails and I do not browse the internet or enter sites that are safer. So, what can I do? How to make everything return to normal? can someone help me with this?
  Also let me tell you right now, I'm not an expert on how to do things on the computer, so I'm scitish when it receives or sounds complicated. I don't want to lose my entire system because of these unfortenate none of the work programmes.

  Hello shessy49, welcome.

  I would recommend that we run a SFC (System File Checker) first scan to see what he finds. Try this:

  1. click on START
  2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
  3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
  4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
  5 restart your computer

  ---
  After the reboot
  ---

  1. click on START
  2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
  3. type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press enter

  If the question started very recently, you can try a system restore:

  1. click on START
  2. click on "all programs".
  3. click on "Accessories".
  4. click on "system tools."
  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  Let us know what happens

  Thank you!

  JT,

  SP1 no longer exists, you will need to install SP2 and SP3, and then (if not already done) and then maybe you will get on the website for further updates.

• Help me update windows 8.1 Hp Envy m6-k025dx

  I use HP envy m6-Ko25dx that comes with windows pre-installed 8 and I'm looking at the update windows 8.1, I tried 4 times, but could not update all the important updates from Microsoft and HP as well. In addition, I checked my laptop computer compatibility, which is very uncomfortable with windows 8.1.
  The problem is that I face is common for many people who have tried to upgrade their system, I download windows 8.1 Windows store and up to 65% all going very well, but after restarting a few adjustment transformed and then computer screen show no completely black results, finally I restore my previous version

  Hi Jacot,

  I wish to inform you that the antivirus software may cause some software conflicts that will be detrimental to the update to Windows 8.1. I also suggest you disconnect all external devices connected to the computer and also disable the antivirus installed in the computer software and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc.) except the keyboard and mouse and then try to install Windows 8.1

  I would say also allows you to check if there is no update pending Windows needs to be installed.

  If so, then I suggest you to install the update and check if it helps.

  Method 2:

  If the problem persists, I suggest to disable the antivirus/firewall software and check if you are able to install.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3:

   

  You can place the computer in a clean boot, and then try to install the upgrade. Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  You can track the item concerned to perform a clean boot.

  Perform a clean boot

  Follow the instructions (step 1 for Windows 8) given in this link to make a clean boot:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow these steps to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  (a) press the "Windows + R" key on the keyboard.
  (b) in the window "Run", type "MSCONFIG" and click on 'Ok '.
  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click ok.
  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  I hope this helps.

• Can't update windows like systems to give me an error that it cannot find a file and he needs me to insert the media.

  Original title: re install windows 8.1.

  I have problems with my computer and want to re install windows 8.0. I had upgraded my computer windows 7 to windows 8 but can't update windows like systems to give me an error that it cannot find a file and he needs me to insert the media.  I insert the windows disc 8, but the system indicates that it is not the correct information.  He is looking for another disc?  I created a recovery usb drive, but that doesn't seem to help.  I feel that I have completely new install windows 8 but I am nervous of course think I mess up something.  given that this computer was originally shipped with windows 7, I have to use the recovery discs I've done initially or is there a way to create new ones with the new windows 8?

  Hello and welcome!

  If you are using a CD to upgrade of Windows 8, then there not all reinstall the files included for a full Windows.

  Your best option is to use the recovery partition on your hard disk or the recovery CD from your PC back to Windows 7. Then Windows 7 SP1 upgrade and get all updates. Then, move to Windows 8 again.

• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  Plugins installed

  • npmnqmp - 989898989877
  • NP-mswmp
  • Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2.
  • Default plugin
  • Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

• Error Windows Updates ' "lack of details: updates Windows has corrupted operating system." " "Needs a remastering and updates the resettlement".

  We bought my son an ACER laptop in May this year (2014) as a birthday present and (hopefull) for use
  University (he won a place).
  Yesterday, the laptop has stopped working and just turned off.
  We took it back to the Currys PC World store (2222 Liverpool Aintree Branch) to fix them.
  They decided that it was not a warranty issue and that: - (I quote)
  "The fault details: updates Windows has corrupted operating system." "Needs a remastering and updates the resettlement".
  I have this in writing.
  It cost my son, a student, £50 and is without his laptop when it nears its first round of reviews.

• Problems with Windows Update after downloading updates on the internet. Need to update Windows disk.

  Where can I get a disk of windows xp service pack 3 update windows?  When I download updates for windows, Internet, I loose my internet connection.

  During the download?

  Ask someone else to download it and burn it to a CD for you if you really need to get SP3 and that your Internet connection will not allow it for one reason or another...
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=25129

  I have to ask - that's all you need?  Is there a reason that 4 years after its release you download it?  You perform a new installation recently?  What service pack level is your current installation of Windows XP?
