• 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.

• twinkling of intermittent screen on laptop: using windows vista

  Hello
  I use Windows Vista on my laptop about 2 years back (HP dv5 series)
  All of a sudden a week, the screen started to Flash intermittently... it almost goes running with all the white lines, for a second or two... and then stops himself. Sometimes it happens very frequently, like three times in an hour, and sometimes not even once in 3 hours.  Windows Update is on and all the drivers to date by themselves.
  I tried restoring the system to a date before I started having the problem on my laptop. It worked fine for a day, and then the problem started again.
  Can someone please suggest what to do? In addition, this flicker of the screen would lead any type of damage to the screen if not checked soon? My laptop is out of warranty and I'm not sure what to do.
  Thank you
  Nidhi

  Hello

  drivers are normally specific model

  and HP provides the drivers for their products

  so, you need to ask HP if you can swap the drivers around model to model

  and Yes to keep an eye on what the drivers left 3rd update windows wants to install on you!

• Why Spooler subsystem stops when I get my browser to IE8 to IE9. I use Windows Vista.

  I use Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8. Whenever I have uphrade my browser for Internet Explorer 9, the Spooler subsystem App stopped working and also my printer stops working. Three times, the technician of the Dell software corrected the problem, and I had to pay fees for the service. After the last time, which was earlier this month. the technician Dell told me that many individuals who have used Windows Vista has experienced the same problem of spooler, when they have tried to improve their Internet Explorer 8-Internet Explorer 9 browser. . I experience no such problems with Internet Explorer 8.

  Today, I read in Google news that Microsoft will automatically update Internet Explorer on all computers using Windows, from January 2012. Given problems I have experienced when I update to Internet Explorer8 in Internet Explorer 9, can you please advise me on how I could solve the problem of th Spooler subsystem App that stops working, when I update to Internet Explorer 9?
