Vista - someone could tell me about update KB968930?

Hi guys

Greetings from England.

Can you please help me with this question.

Today, I had an overabundance of updates, including the optional update KB968930. I downloaded and installed the recommended updates and important but wanted to know more about KB968930 before I went ahead with it.

I know he said something about Powershell, but when I google it I just got a load of people saying they had problems with it.

Can you please explain what it is, what it does, and if I need anyone or not?

I'm a bit of a dinosaur with computers, but everything else is up to date and I have a green tick on the screen of Windows Update.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

  • I was wondering if someone could tell me how I can get the Yahoo home page to look the way it used to (I hope you understand what I mean)?

    The home page appears only in this way, when I use Mozilla, but NOT when I use Internet Explorer. The first screenshot, this is what it looks like in Mozilla. The second screenshot is what I WANT it to look (it looks like this in Internet Explorer). Help, please! The new layout is absolutely hideous!

  • Lost-Hi could someone please tell me where I can find my 25 digit product key

    Hi could someone please tell me where I can find my key thanx, 25-digit product.

    Hello Samuelballantyne,

    If your copy of Windows came pre-installed on your PC then you should be able to locate the product key 25 letter on the bottom of your laptop or on the back or the side if it's a desktop computer.

    If, however, you bought a copy the retail Windows; in other words you bought the OS yourself in a box from a retailer will the product key on the box or the sleeve of the DVD opertaing system.

    I hope that the product key will be in one of these two places. However, another option, assuming you still have the operating system installed on your PC, is to download a third application of the called party Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/ download this application and then run it on your PC it will then show you the product key number.

    In addition, when you write the number make you that read correctly as a B can easily be confused with a 8. If you writeie down the wrong number, then you will not be able to install the operating system properly.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    Hello LisaQuaranto,

    I suggest that you configure the computer to start in minimum mode, download the update from the Download Center and try to install the update.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click Selective startup.

    c. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    d. click OK.

    e. When prompted, click on restart.

    f. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your problem is resolved after the clean boot, and then follow the steps in the following article to narrow down the exact source:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under "Reset the computer to start as usual", after performing the clean boot troubleshooting.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

  • Vista boot, apparently due to the update

    Hello

    My laptop was working fine last night, but as I have turned on this morning, I am unable to boot. Windows will remain at a black screen and then give me the boot option repair or start normally. Startup Repair found a problem, that it cannot correct automatically.

    I had problems with Windows Installer and I noticed before I turn it off only an update of Windows should arise, then I guess that's the culprit. If anyone could offer advice about a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    product install... I need someone to tell me what the error message.

    Explanation of Windows:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/2055767   [Full explanation is in the link]

    Installer was unable to initialize error is encountered mainly due to conflicting background processes or other configuration windows related processes as if Windows update runs in the background, the Adobe installer can not start the process until its done. Sometimes, Application Manager will be corrupted and impossible to start the installation process... etc.

    Here are the typical causes, different scenario may cause this problem, which is completely dependent on the system.

    Sometimes Windows install and Windows services install module startup type is set to automatic, what could cause this problem... etc and so on

  • The master password dialog box is not well labeled. No luck, it could be spoofed using JS and someone could then access all passwords?

    IMO, request master password dialog box is not well labeled, and its identity (and authentic) seem a little in doubt whenever it appears. It is possible that someone could be spoof using JS and I could unwittingly put my "skeleton key" to a thief? Please tell me I'll be paranoid!

    I don't think a script in an ordinary web page has the permission to read your passwords for other Web sites, even if you are not using a master password. It should be limited to see what password manager fills in the page.

    For this reason, even if a page has captured your master password, I don't think that he could use it in a harmful way. But I'm maybe not quite devious.

    I'm on 10.6.8 update on my iMac, but require 10.7 or higher for the installation of the printer - my search for Mac update tells me no update is available. How updated?

    Open the Mac App Store and try to download El Capitan. If you get told that it is incompatible with your computer or not desired, choose about this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or CPU Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) and 2 GB of RAM, and if this is the case, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; the Apple Online Store also sells codes for 10.8 Mountain Lion to download, but it has the same system requirements as El Capitan.

    Back up your data and control your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer do not support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
