Win Update in the add a printer window is unable to retrieve the list.

In the add a printer of the add-on devices and Printers window, it invites you to click on "Windows Update" to 'see more models'.  Only problem is, when cllicked, he's sitting there does apparently nothing, but after a few minutes at a time, he comes back and says that Windows was unable to get a list of devices from Windows Update and to try again later.   I tried more later dozens of times with permanently differnet of the day and night with no more success.  I would really like to see these additional models to see if one of my printers old faithful is in there.

Is anyone else having a similar problem, and if so, have you found a cause or solution?

Simply visit the web site of your printer and check if there are avilable the win7 drivers

  • update of the list of imap folders

    I was hoping F5 or so would just, but retains the Thunderbird download (how can this be prevented?-stop button does not work) messages received, but the update of the lists of file seems to need a reboot.

    The fastest way is to close and reopen the ThunderBird, which is a bit awkward. A simple F5 on the folder main mbx should update the files in a folder should update this file, always appealed to a low level (can be configured to do more/less with SHIFT f5 etc.).

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2509997

    Method 6: Reset the contents of the Catroot2 folder

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an administrative command prompt window.
    2. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:
      • net stop cryptsvc
      • MD %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old
      • xcopy %systemroot%\system32\catroot2.old /s %systemroot%\system32\catroot2
    3. Delete all the content of the catroot2 folder, but do not delete the catroot2 folder.
    4. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      net start cryptsvc
    5. Close the command prompt window.

    It seems that I do not have a catroot2 folder. Any suggestions at this point?

  • NVidia updates causing the blue screen in Windows XP.

    I have two different desktop computers running Windows XP. Both have NVidia graphics cards. I recently downloaded Microsoft updates on a computer and noticed blue screen on shut down, page non paged area error code 50. It seems to suggest a problem with the display adapter. I tried several bugs to fix, but it persists most of the time. I assumed that it was unique to this computer until I downloaded the updates on my second computer, which I hadn't used in the month. All of a sudden I wake up a blue screen that is similar to booting with similar suggestion, it is the display adapter driver. NV4_DISP.dll in this case. What I noticed about this "update" is an update which is optional for NVidia and AC97. I downloaded both, but noted that they were dated 2003. I worked my way around the blue screen when starting in safe mode and cancelled the NVidia driver for... 2006! This was the driver I had installed from the Web of NVidia site, some time ago. The AC97 driver showed also a problem in the device driver, so I rolled back and things worked. I think that Microsoft sent an update for the drivers of video card NVidia and AC97 Codec which is damaged or outdated. This is not unique to Windows XP that others seem to experience it in Windows Vista and 7. My video cards are the two NVidia, but different models, which adds credibility to my theory. Any ideas or solutions?

    1. after making back the driver, change your configuration of automatic update of the automatic for the only Notify ("notify but not...") ") setting.

    2. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT difficulty and modes and AGGRESSIVE, and then restart your computer. [1]

    3. thereafter, NEVER approve the download (or install) updates offered by Windows Update driver, just "hide". Download all the NECESSARY updated driver from the device or computer manufacturers' download pages ONLY.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or installed updates.

    ____________________________________

    Here is some other information about the Windows updates for you, I put in place some time and which you may find useful if you are having problems with Windows updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You must only obtain the latest drivers for them to the site of the real hardware manufacturer, like Microsoft normally does not have these latest drivers available as Microsoft invokes the material part 3rd RTOS provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    'Remove an update - Windows 7'

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    Check the feature you want is back... If Yes...

    Install a single update of the list.

    Reset.

    Test.

    Always good on the feature you want?  Repeat the process again and again until you find either the bad update (here and report back which one it was) or you have all the installed and always your full functionality.
