  Hello

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• HP Envy 15 with Ralink RT3290 loses wireless n If windows updates 8

  I have a HP Envy 15-j040eo that has worked well until about two weeks ago, but there is no longer recognized my wireless-n. At this time, I win 8.1 64 bit with automatic updates. Other computers and iPhones is always recognized my wifi.

  After spending hours and days with the support of HP, we finally did a complete reset of the computer. Now I have Windows 8 with the works of disabled and wireless-n updates very well until I allow windows to date. If windows is allowed to update the computer does nor recognize the network. With other networks - n or with cable it works fine. The only way that the HP Support and I found get wifi work is to reset the computer. If I only update the wifi still doesn't work.

  The wireless adapter is a Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn and it works with the driver 5.0.25.0 on windows 8. When I had first of all the question I tried to update driver V5.0.46.0 but he still has not found the wifi-n in windows 8.1.

  BIOS is updated to the latest version and even if I turn auto updates of the network was cut when the upgrade of Windows 8 to 8.1 but on Windows 8 it works until I decide not to update the wireless adapter driver.

  As I'd rather have 8.1 and updated windows up-to-date with automatic updates; How can I configure to always work with wireless-n?

  Hi PMR.

  Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I understand that you have problems with your card wireless after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. I'll be happy to help you with that. One of the things is recommended when upgrading is deleting or disabling all USB devices one thing that many people do not know is that the wireless card uses an internal USB connection. So, before you upgrade either your device manager under network adapters find Ralink RT3290 wireless adapter. Then right click and select Disable. With the wireless you will need to connect via Ethernet temporarily. Once the update is completed, activate the card and install this driver Ralink RT3290. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

  Thank you

  Have a Dell XPS 630i and made a new instalation of Vista Ultimate, and Windows 7 RC 64-bit and have the same problem with TWO operating systems after installation.

  Performance and once installed, Windows Update, the mouse pointer will NOT click on the boxes to the left, updates to install specific updates, but will allow me to check the box to install all the.

  It happens in the TWO operating systems.

  Windows 7 also freezes on "restart" mainly on the part 'stop' to reboot.
  Periodically, the system will also freeze if left running for 4-5 hours?

  Thought it may be computer, rather than the operating system, but all the troubleshooting tests do show no problem?

  any help would be appreciatd

  Thank you.

  Performed a clean installation on a computer, using a much more ancient, well-known usb keyboard and mouse and questions GONE!

  After the installation, all the drivers, in good order, and ran to Windows Update to get all THE updates without any problem.

  It could issue NEW hardware, as the keyboard and mouse have been included with recent computer purchase.

• Vista 64 SP2: when you run windows update, trustedinstaller takes 100% of one of the drivers for more than 20 minutes

  I recently bought a new computer, when I run Windows Update there is a process called TrustedInstaller.exe, taking 100% of one of the cores for a very long time (> 20 minutes).

  I have vista 64 SP2 and all updates installed (took me over 3 days to complete).

  Also, when I try to install additional features of windows (for example. IIS) the same thing happens, trusteinstaller takes 100% of the base and install new features forever.

  I have not installed additional software so far is very little probable that a virus or spyware is the cause. When I'm not updating the an or install features of windows, the computer running quickly and the cpu load is not high at all.

  How long was the computer connected to the internet before you installed Avast?

  Can update you Avast manually?

• computer crashed and I lost all my windows updates windows. How to make a comeback?

  I had re install everything in my computer after he would not charge and now I have no updates. I tried to check the updates, but he just continues to research and never happens with updates. He said: I have never updated. My computer is a dell 8300 running windows 7 64 bit. If anyone has any ideas I really need help. My computer is 4 years old and had all updates before you lose everything.

  You are welcome. :)
