Updates Windows failed, do they occupy space and resources and, if so, they eliminate to recreate the space... 40% of mine have "failed."

I tried to highlight and then delete the success, but nothing happens.

You can only remove installed updates listed in the start menu / Control Panel / programs and features / updates installed.  Those who failed or cancelled are not accessible.

Updates using (and it seems quite you need assistance) go in the Windows Update Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where people who specialize in updates can help you to install all the updates failed.

I hope this helps.  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    Since you are using Windows XP, your version of Windows Live Messenger be WLMsgr 2009.

    - so working in online mode (b) - Messenger requires a Live ID access code to use.

    The article I wrote and quoted above explained that WLM (Windows Live Mail), which is also applicable to the WLMsgr 2009 versions contain most of the information to determine what to remember as...

    1. how to use the registry to determine the names of digital files of the database of Contacts

    2A explained that 2009 has two functional databases for each Live ID (a primary and a shadow)

    -both are needed. used 2009 the 'shade' as a catchment area to ensure synchronization occurs in both directions, when changes are made in both locations (local in Messenger or online at contacts.live.com)

    Please read and understand the best article

    http://liveunplugged.WordPress.com/2011/02/04/Windows-Live-Mail-contacts-database/

    ... especially the section dedicated to explain the Contacts 2009 databases.

    Once you determine the digital records of your single Live ID database (shadow and primary) and the program created 'default' you can check the size of each. If you feel that your registry database shows other numeric names (created using other Live ID or perhaps due to an error by typing a user name in the Messenger sign-in box) and these folders can be deleted safely.  Note: you may need to configure Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files to see when viewing in Windows Explorer.

    In addition, you can also, as your contacts are stored online at contacts.live.com, after closing of Messenger remove the any local digital database called folders (for the primary shadow and if is the default). WLMsgr will recreate them on next signon and rebuild any local database folders and files based on what it sync (downloads) of the Live Server to contacts.live.com.

    -Before the deletion of all files, it would be wise to connect to contacts.live.com and check that all your contacts are indeed present and represent for and for saving documents to archives/purposes export contacts to a csv file using the web UI option... Once completed then disconnection from the web UI.

    -Do not, and I it cannot emphasize enough strongly, do not delete anything from the web interface before you delete the local databases on your hard drive (you can always return to contacts.live.com later to manage the contacts (remove, clean the unused or duplicates, merge duplicates etc.) if necessary after WLMsgr recreates local databases.)

    Once done your registry key should show that three databases total (assuming you are using only a Live ID in WLMsgr)-the main and shadow for that Live ID and a default value (if it is created by the program).

    You should have enough information to move forward or to ask additional questions.

    As I mentioned earlier that, at a minimum, an empty list of contacts would be at least some multiple approx. 24 MB. Since you use WLMsgr 2009, and it uses a primary and shadow, the minimum size of about for you with no contact would be approximately 72MB (24 MB for each - primary, shadow and by default). As well as the contacts are added, the primary databases and shadows will be size.

    Other topics presented in this thead element (but not significant) - comments below to close this loop

    S ' for the use of your Hotmail account in Outlook. This use is not related or significant to the database used by WLMsgr. Contacts in Outlook (when the mail is configured to use Pop3 or DeltaSync with Outlook Hotmail Connector) are stored in the Outlook profile contacts, and quite separate from the WLMsgr database (i.e. neither Outlook or WLMsgr program communicates or synchronize or share data with each other to keep the feature)

    FYI... not associated with 2009, but 2011 (for those who read along. WLM 2011 no longer uses the approach of two (primary and shadow) file for databases local contact so databases are smaller and also more robust in 2011 and better synchronize.  Finally, with respect to the use of 2009, wysiwyg... no other upgrades for 2009 are planned (the code was frozen for more than a year, the latest version (never) released in May 2010).

    Good luck.

  • Customer update Windows OS 8.1 - minimize, maximize and close buttons

    This one is a little weird. Happens on my client, to run from the client on a PC or a zero client IE - Windows Explorer, and administrative tools windows not visible without minimize, maximize, or close the buttons, although hovering above where they should be in the upper right of the frame window shows the name of the button for this post and clicking on where the button should be visible is the position of this button. I tried other themes, such as high contrast, and they are still not visible.

    I googled the problem, but have not seen anyone else with the issue (yet). The applications of MS Office and many other applications normally display the buttons. I've attached a screen shot from the corner of a window for reference.

    I had the same problem with my VM Windows 8.1.  If you click on the location where the buttons should be, it always works as they are there.  Someone else mentioned that it was a problem with the version of VMware Tools installed in the virtual machine.  I opened the Device Manager on the computer virtual and then uninstalled the VMware display adapter, including the driver software.  After that I scanned for hardware changes and he reinstalled the display adapter using a windows driver.

    Would appreciate some advice.

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song...).

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.
    You can Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5 at a time), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.  In this way, you can switch back and forth, enabled to be sure, you have the right extension under control.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again to make sure the changes 'stick '.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

    You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

    If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

    The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

    There is a menu bar at the top right of the Lightroom screen which should say 'developing the library' and other things. If you are the menus that you do mean by "File management dialog box" then click on develop and place a check next to the library.
