I go to updates - change the settings, but the important updates option is gray which does not allow me to choose the automatic updates.

What should I do?

    I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?

    If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

  • Update for VISTA Business automatically leads to not being able to open the attachment in Windows Mail

    After an automatic update from Microsoft for VISTA Business on July 16, I now can't open attachments in the reading of e-mail messages in Windows Mail.  An error message indicates that the file is not found.  I have now to save all attachments and open my files before I read attachments.  It's very frustrating.  I had a similar experience, only a couple of weeks where a parameter is passed by an automatic update to VISTA leading to read all the emails being hidden from view.  I had never seen that before and it cost me £40 to get DELL Technical Support to sort for me.  Microsoft should not do this kind of thing are they?  Should I just revert to the original system (I have to pay DELL to do it for me) and just not allow Microsoft Update VISTA more.  I have my own business, no IT support and I want to just use my easy notebook for standard applications.  Nothing complicated.  I can't afford to waste time and money sorting on my laptop when I should run my own business in very difficult times.  Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

    I understand exactly what you're saying.

    Try this with updates to uninstall the problem and change the eo settings you decide what it is installed:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And if you really need to go back to factory settings, save your self money.

    Dell recovery back to the means-to-do-it factory settings are listed below:

    Once more my automatic update of Vista stopped working today; It looks updates constantly and never ends. Set to automatic update was working yesterday the download and installation of Windows Defender - KB915597 (1.229.1407.0 and 1.229.1054.0 definitions).  This issue happened on August 9, 2016 when Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.225.3489.0) has successfully installed on 8 August.

    Volume Z replied to my request for help the Oct 1 instruct me to download and run KB3185911 by his specific instructions.  This clear up my problem.  I tried to run this file (.

  • I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).

    I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).  When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file.  Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.  I tried to do the same command prompt, but still not received the same error.  Thanks for help anything.

    Hi Paul,.

    Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?
    I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.
    I would like to know what are your results!

  • Windows Update for Vista (KB2286198) _

    Everything from the lates Windows Update has been installeded for Vista (KB2286198)

    I was not able to use my card to air with the Cradlepoint router.  The computer can see the router but only connect with local and non-local and internet access.  If I plug the modem from Verizon in the computer USB it will not work.  I have uninstall-ed the update and it works again with the Cradlepoint wireless modem.  Then, the update automatically installs again and I have the same problem.  What can I do to fix this?

    First, uninstall again and then search for updates and it should appear.  Right-click on it to hide, and it will not be downloaded or installed or appear again (but you can still get in case of need if she and him to download and install-, but I wouldn't do that).  You will need to put it to manual and not automatic selection to do this.  So, try the following:

    Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and disable your security software.  See if the installation works. However, once don't forget to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If that does not work, uninstall it again.

  • Corrupted Windows Update? (Vista)

    Hello

    I have problems with Windows Update on a Vista laptop. When I try to open the program, all I get is a blank window with nothing to click on. No text, no button.

    I know that some time ago, I created WU to do updates automatically, but I want to regain control of the update process, as WU tries to install the updates on a daily basis and fails. It takes me 15 minutes every day after the restart before I can use my laptop.

    Can anyone help?

    System Restore does not allow that the problem is older than the last restore point. I also tried to use my backup CD that I thought maybe I could reinstall Vista, but the laptop won't even use it for some reason any. I tried to reinstall WU from the site Web de Microsoft, but after doing so the problem was still there. I don't really know what to do!

    Thanks if you have answers.

  • Update Windows Vista turns off my sound

    An automatic update of Vista took place on March 12, 2009 and after that my sound does not work (no matter what program was used).

    I used the system restore to choose a restore before March 12 point and this has restored the sound that works perfectly again.

    However, probably my automatic update system will soon install the same update to Vista and I will lose her again!

    My system seems to be (read from the Greek of invoice - all for me!):
    Bicoeur Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 processor
    with PCI-Express Nvidia GeForce card mother Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad Core MAXT
    with 256MB nVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - DVI TV - Out HDTV
    HD onboard card its 5.1-6 channels his cinema

    Can anyone help?

    Devonsarrie,

    Have you checked to see if you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer of your motherboard sound card and or computer? In addition, it is difficult to diagnose what exactly happens if he is yet to break. I could autoupdate once and see if you or do not have the same results with your sound on your computer. If he does go back, check your drivers and make sure you have the latest version. After that, we can find out what caused the pilot of its operation and how we can go fixing it.

    Thank you

  • Is there a way to control the download of updates to Vista?

    In 2007 I bought a Dell C521 PC delivered pre-loaded with XP Home SP2. Dell also delivered an update to Vista Basic disk as a promotion. I've successfully upgraded to Vista but now I turned on the automatic updates, it began to download each update of Vista in the course of the past 30 months or so. Is it possible to limit or control how much is downloaded without having to select the individual updates? Any help is appreciated. JOCK McSQUIGGLE

    Hi there you can try this, click Start, all programs, look for Windows Update
    in the list, click Windows Update, click on the settings in the Drop Down
    Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them.
