Vista - I have no internet, but I get auto updates

I don't have access to internet at home.  All my neighbors WiFi are secure.  But I regularly open my laptop to find the autouploads have taken place. MS a 'whisper' system works in New York for downloads?

Vista SP1 or SP2 installed?

Assuming that automatic updates is set to the automatic configuration, updates are currently installed at 03:00. However, the updates are downloaded during periods where the computer connected to the internet.

A careful review of your WindowsUpdate.log will reveal when the updates are downloaded. These times should correspond to periods where the computer had internet access.

  • Vista - I have Windows Mail but receive Outlook 2002 update

    I received today an Outlook 2002 update... I don't have Outlook 2002, I have Windows Mail. Why have I not this update?

    Microsoft Office XP & Office 2002 are essentially the same application.

    If Windows Update offers you KB980371, it is assumed that Outlook is installed, even if you can't use it. So yes, KB980371 suits & must be installed.

    Otherwise, you can remove your installation of Microsoft Office XP Outlook. Please note that doing so will also remove all Outlook calendar.

  • Wireless laptop running Vista 32 and wired desktop under Vista 64 can access Internet, but not each other!

    My laptop Vista 32 unreal access router and ping its own IP address, but no access to Vista 64-bit Wired Office with ping or try to access folders shared I place some months ago and used without problem until about 2 days ago. I recently did a restore of the laptop but it worked after that and I adjusted all the settings. I have Net bios over TCP/IP enabled on both machines. I have two machines on the workgroup and file sharing is enabled on both. Vista 64 desktop computer can access the Internet but can not access the shared folders that I put in this PC! He cannot ping the router either but can be accessed via the routers Web page. The router is configured correctly as well. I became a master browser errors on Vista 64 desktop until I changed the registry on the laptop off car with respect to the list of servers. I'm a computer technician with networking experience, but am confused on this one. There are so many problems over there near the mine, but they usually have xp machines trying to access Vista or vice-verse. In addition, they cannot access the Internet generally. If anyone out there has any intelligent suggestions I'm desperate, but know that I have this research completely so guess I did all the basic troubleshooting to save time you and me. Thanks in advance to anyone with advice!

I'm not sure excatly what the problem was, but I went and bought a fixed register a program so that I paid for, as you no doubt know the free just ruin your machine more than it is useful, well I ran that and restarted and BOOM! Now even if I can connect to each computer and the internet. I'm still not able to ping? Now when I say that this is not so much genral, the laptop I can ping any name of site Web and number but not the PC. On the PC I can ping its own IP address but not the router or laptop? But it has no bearing on anything so I anticipate leaving me well enough alone. I how ever to download a graphics professional ping program, but not to worried about it! Thank you so much for you help and if I need more help, I hope you are avalibale!

  • Sticker license Vista missing - have product key, but NO version

    Hi all

    I am currently working on a laptop that originally shipped with Windows Vista. The original hard drive failed and the system is unable to boot from it.

    I have a replacement for the system HARD drive, but the license sticker to Windows Vista on the bottom of the laptop disappeared, and although I can read the product key, I can't tell which version of Windows Vista this appies to (for example, 'Basic', 'Home premium' etc.).

    I tried the site of the manufacturer without success and is not any support for system recovery. I have Windows Vista OEM discs, but I'm not sure who the product key to apply to. is there a way to tell? This information can be found by browsing the files on the original defective HDD?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Call the manufacture, they should have a record of your purchase. Once you are able to identity what version of Vista you have to find a friend with a 'Detail' of Vista installation DVD and use it to install (you choose the version of Vista you have ordered) Vista using your product key.

  • On my computer, I have admin rights, but I get refused and told to log into Admin

    Any time I try to install a program or have a problem, I am trying to fix, I get an error.  Some are "access denied", "you must login as an administrator" and the popular "insufficient privileges, you might neet to sign as an administrator."  My user name is Debbie and I have 'computer management' right.  This be corrected without involving Home Land Security?

    Thank you

    When you install programs, you must Access the files in several directories - usually in the "C:\Program Files" folder and the "C:\Windows" folder and registers "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users" and the system and software.  All of these directories, files, and registriy entries can have controlled access to allow or refuse any use.  The "Administrators" group contains users who are generally given by default access to these areas simply by being a member of this group.  However don't forget that there is nothing magical about an administrator in this regard.  Authorisation may be refused to a Director like any other user.  Administrators have the ability, though, to change the permissions.

    The quick test to verify that you are an administrator must right click on 'start '.  If "Open All Users" is one of the choices that appear, then you have administrator privilege.

    Assuming you really are administrator, then you need to find which file or folder or registry entry has inappropriate permissions.  You can do this by using the 'Security' tab when you right click on a file or folder and select "Properties".  The Security tab will be present at file sharing Simple is disabled, so if you have XP Home Edition, you need start safe mode and log in as administrator to get this tab.  There are literally thousands of files and records concerned.  You will see that it is faster to re - install Windows in order to find the problem area - but a sample could be useful.

    Several people have reported this problem recently which leads me to suspect that malware may be involved.  You can run a scan for malware on your computer.

  • I'm not all sounds. Have with IE, but cannot get sound in firefox

    I'm not all sounds with Firefox. I have the sound by using Internet Explorer.

    Hi bholmes,.

    Have you looked at the article Knowledge Base, what to do if Firefox will play all of the sounds? There are many good advice on troubleshooting in there. You might have its just accidentally disabled for Firefox.

    There is also a chance it's a plugin problem. If the first article does not help, take a look at common audio problems and graphics issues.

    Hope this helps!
