Please answer all the questions of diagnostic following by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

3. do you have a Norton or a trial of free McAfee come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

    You can download LR 4.4.1 including the latest update here:

  • Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
    install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

    I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

    I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

    I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

    If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

    I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

  • I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.
