• The 32-bit driver for the Photosmart 7760 isn't in Windows Update. Please post somewhere.

  I'm trying to install the driver for my Photosmart 7760 (7700 series) on a 32-bit version of Win7 and Windows update is stating, that it does not exist. I consult the list of drivers after their update by using the windows update button in the Add Printer Wizard and there is the 7400 series and the 7800 series. Series No. 7700. I go to your support site to download and it tells me to use Windows update.

  I'm now stuck in a time loop in and out. It never ends. Use windows update, there is no. Go to your site, tell you to use windows update.

  Please stop by displaying a link to the driver for me.

  Hello

  Due to the age of the printer, you can find the last date of support was around April 2007, which is almost 7 years now. My suggestion: using the following link

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=2093&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=305375#n185

  b download driver Vista then install on your machine.

  (b) patch Windows 7 use to solve the problem

  Hope this work, otherwise it's time to buy a new printer.

  Kind regards.

  Windows update fails with error code "c80003fa" or full "0xc80003fa". The search for answers from Microsoft and google provided a few resources, but nothing about the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

• Windows 7 64 bit receives updates for 32 bit

  My new laptop runs Windows 7 64 bit and I check the available updates automatically downloaded before I install them.  I noticed that some updates specify 32-bit... and when I read more about the Microsoft Windows 7 update, it shows the same update also for 64 bit and the file is a slightly different name.

  Example today: KB982726 update has been downloaded and has written for 32-bit and the name of the file is "office2010-kb982726-fulfile-x 86-glb.exe" but the KB982726 that says for 64 bit has a file name of "office2010-kb982726-fulfile-x 64-glb.exe.

  Most of the updates, I've been automatically downloaded do specify 64-bit, but I wonder if I need to start checking all the 32-bit downloads sent to me for a version 64 bit and install instead, manually.

  When there is a "64-bit version" of an update... and... since I get other updates to 64 bit, why do I automatically would receive the "32-bit version" of these updates?

  If Office 2010 32-bit (x 86) is installed, and 64-bit Office 2010 is NOT installed, updates are appropriate. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  "windows update is not available" for my xp Home Edition.  I followed the instructions to fix and found that I had no gpedit.  Also said something about BITS works do not.  I don't have my recovery disks.  I care not one of my files.  I want just a fresh install of xp.  I tried microsoft fix it but no good.  I tried to change the recommended registry but nothing.  I need to have regular updates for my xp system.

  [1] I got a really nice, totally authentic Dell with XP home Edition with product information and all that.  My problem is that he had suffered some nasty virus that makes it unusable or at least the inheritee.

  [2] the recovery discs can be acquired from the source, i.e. of Dell

  A1. You should have to do a clean install when you inherited the computer. Since you have not, it's yet another reason to do it now.

  A2. If a set of disks came with the computer, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do a clean install (in Dell-speak, a "destructive recovery"). You will find information about this in the Dell Support Web site (e.g., http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&docid=181316).

  Automatic updates of Windows installs KB979683, and then in the next update checking, it is listed under "important update available". He repeated every day for three weeks.

  Under 'View Update History', he shows again and again KB979683 installation successfully.

  Under 'updates installed, he said, "no update is installed on this computer". So I can't download it manually on my desktop, uninstall the update, restart in safe mode and reinstall manually. Also, when I tried to install manually in safe mode without deleting the file, I received the error 0X8007043c.

  I tried stopping the windows update service, and then delete all files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution > DataSstore and C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution > download, then by restarting the service, but it did not help.

  I've updated and run Malwarbytes Anti-Malware 1.46 and AVG 9.0.829, but found no threat.

  I use windows, as well as automatic daily scans with AVG firewall (manual scans with Malwarebytes: daily).

  There is a good chance that you see the effects of a (including a W32/Alureon rootkit) hijackware infection!

  Thanks Kim, but could you be more specific about where the path of % ALLUSERSPROFILE might actually be on a standard installation of C:?

  Hi Rocketron,

  Sometimes patches seem to just have a hard time to proceed with the installation.  I have a fw for to look you at other things.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

  (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
  (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
  (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
  (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

  Good luck
