Update Windows on the Web does not show updates

Using IE8 on Windows XP SP3 machine. MS pushed 14 updates of security for me this week. (I do not update automatically, so) I started installing the 12 Oct. The first 9 installed but the last 5 years has failed. They pushed once again and installed the Oct. 13. Log files show some errors, but all updates are listed in Add/Remove programs as added 13 Oct. I tried to go towww.update.microsoft.com which lists my updates installed and scanned for needed updates. All I get is a page asking me orders to go to the start menu, updates of windows of my office instead of typing the url. Other information: between the two dates of update I told my machine to hide a particular update me. (Other threads think it's a problem). I recently spent software AV of BitDefender to ESET (Sept. 17).  So I do not know if this problem is called Windows Update fails to load, but of course, it will fail to load at the appropriate location, resting place.

I have the answer! I found this answer (google) of someone who had a pc the windows update web site thought was a pimp. My problem is that web site update thought I had VISTA. So I deleted the key from registry HKEY_Local_Machine/software/microsoft/windows/current value/internet settings/5.0/USER Agent. (If the value contains a BONE which is incorrect, of course.) In my case, the value says windows NT 6.0, which is VISTA, not XP SP3. You will also need to do the same thing if your HKEY_current_user (by the same path) is incorrect (which was ok for me). After the backup of the key, and then delete it, then reboot, windows built the correct registry value and I'm back in business!

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I tried EvevryThing! The "CREATED WITH ADOBE ELEMENTS 9 TRAIL VERSION FIRST" will not stop Displaying, even after I put in the serial number and Regerstered. Also the product does not show under my profile?

    How can I fix it? Nothing in help or on the Site.

    Once you have registered the product, you should not see the banner of 'Trial' on NEW projects. This isn't the case, right? You only see on the project that you created before you register the product, right?

    That said, to remove the banner, go to the folder of directory on your hard drive where your project PREL files are stored and delete the folder called Adobe Premiere elements preview files.

  • Some records are not in my list of bookmarks; the individual bookmarks can be found in the search, but the record does not show.

    Some records are not in my list of bookmarks; individual bookmarks can be found in the search, but the folder does not appear in the list of bookmarks, and results do not indicate where the individual bookmarks.

    You can use an add-on to display add a column to the Library dialog box for the folder of the bookmark.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/

    The extension can indicate only the name of the folder or you can view the full path via the menu in the folder. This full path option is useful if a file accidentally gets you drag somewhere in order to explore the it and find it.

    To access the settings of the extension, you can use the page modules. Either:

    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, find the Options button under the specific extension.

  • Edge of the Web fonts - not showing

    Hey everybody,

    Using edge right now and having problems with Web fonts.   I use Edge animate CC.  When I select a Web font I see in the dropdown of available fonts, but when I choose it nothing happens.  When I preview the HTML page I don't see the update applied to the text font.  When I switch between old statndard fonts fonts I see it change on the stage and in preview, but when you use Web fonts I get nothing.  Any suggestions?  What is a current Bug?  Page attached to show how the selected font does not appear on the scene.  I use the latest version 3.0.

    Thank you!

    Screen shot 2014-02-19 at 3.40.53 PM.png

    Problem solved!  My (FORMER) work computer is runing OSX 10.6.  Just read the fine print that Edge requires 10.7 or higher.  Edge and the fonts work very well at home on the Mavericks (10.9).  Guess who's getting a new computer to work!

    Thanks for the replies.

    • Drag the corners of the window until it completely fills the screen. Do not use the button Zoom to enlarge the window.
    • Hold down the CTRL key, keep it pressed and using the mouse, click on file, then leave in the menu bar. Do not use the 'X' in the upper right to close the window.

  • Contacts, which I just added to the phone does not show the phone but visible on Mac

    I don't know when, in recent weeks, what happens to the show started, but I just noticed today. I just added a few contacts to my iphone race 5 the latest iOS, and when I find or search in the list, they appear. For example, I added a person whose surname Honda, and when I search, I can only find the name of the Honda dealer I've added years previously, not the new contact with the surname Honda.

    However, when I look in my mini Mac contacts, new people are there! I can't understand why they are not appearing on the iPhone, which is where I really need them to be.

    Help?

    Hello Andvari,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your position when you add a contact on your iPhone 5 it does not appear in the Contacts application, but appears on your Mac. I know how important it is that you are able to see all the contacts that you create on your iPhone.

    I check the Contacts and make sure that all groups are selected. Press Contacts > groups (upper-left). Make sure that all your groups have a control on the right side. Also, make sure you see hide all Contacts. If you see all the Contacts, click View all Contacts.

    Best regards

  • WRT350N configuration based on the web does not load on the cable port.

    I've had this router for over 6 months, and only in the last two weeks, I could not access the configuration page based on the web through my PC, connected to one of the 4 wired ports. None of the laptops I tried (Win XP, Vista) are connected via Wi - Fi without a problem. Obviously, this isn't an emergency, because I can access it through the laptop, but I use mostly my PC to manage the router.

    Any ideas on other things to check?

    Thanks for the tip, but that did not work... However, trying to fix another problem, with the USB port of a storage drive, I re-load the updated firmware and am now able to access the configuration page. Still no action on the USB key if!

    Thanks again!

  • Windows 7: the search does not find the files that should be, directory is indexed and *.php included on the list of extensions

    Windows 7: search does not find the files that should be. I have indexed directory and *.php included on the list of extensions, but search can't find files for Word searches that I know there are files with these words in them.

    If you're frustrated by research (aka Desktop Search), you are not alone. Click the Start button and type find and click the button 'change the way Windows search'. Now click on the Advanced button and select the tab file types scroll down and find your type of file (in your case .php) and make sure the radio button "index properties and the content of the file" is selected for the file type.

    Out the form by clicking on the OK button, but do not close the form when you click the Advanced button.

    Then, you may need to change the indexing locations. If the folder where your files are located is not known for indexing search, then search is not even bother looking for here (a source of frustration for many users). Maybe your files are located on another drive or partition without the knowledge of the indexing engine. Using the options icon and select/deselect expand, make sure that at least the files of interest are included for the indexed locations. I hope this helps.
