• My computer (explorer.exe) continues the search for readers/records.

  Hi experts, I need help on my PC.
  After working with my PC for several hours and minutes when I click/Open 'My Computer' it continues the search for my hard drives and folders in libraries, favorite & computer. He just continues to research and does not display my partition/HARD drive. http://i793.Photobucket.com/albums/yy217/aznix2020/Untitled.PNG
  However, its not freezing or hang up and I can always open my drives/folders by using the command run and after a while it will work fine again.
  Is not a serious problem at the moment because it works well after a while but it's a hassle.
  Also im wondering if this is my drive display relationships safely remove HARD in the options in the task bar. Although the option remove appear for less than a month before I encountered this problem.
  My PC is win7 32 bit sp1. Thanks in advance.

• New error causing the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 80246002 during the search for updates

  I use Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 1. Windows Update worked fine until the Windows Update Agent is automatically updated to 7.6.7600.320 in August 2014. Now, when Windows Update tries to search for updates, it reports "Windows could not search for updates" and indicates that the 80246002 error code was received.

  [UPDATE]  Since posting this query, I think I solved my problem by following the instructions described on the page "Update tool of the system for Windows 7 for x 64-based Systems (KB947821) [may 2014]."   I downloaded the file (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 64.msu) and then let it settle. He describes himself as "Fix for Windows (KB947821)".  The installation took awhile, with a lot of disk activity.  When he finally finished, I rebooted my machine and tried an update of Windows. It seems to work fine; He even found a significant update that I then installed successfully.  So apparently my problem the hotfix for Windows (KB947821) provided the solution.

  [UPDATE 2]  After seeing the messages on the change the DNS to resolve the problem, I thought I would add the following information where it is necessary:

  • I use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 and confirmed it works in 64-bit mode by inspecting the user agent of the browser.  You can check the user agent of your browser by visiting http://user-agent.me/
  • My Internet Protocol properties are set to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'.  It works with my wireless router, and I've never tried to change it.

  [UPDATE 3]  After thinking I was safe, after doing several searches for updates, the returned 80246002 problem on my machine!  I rebooted my machine and my wireless router, but it did not help.  So, I advanced and tried the DNS thing: I changed the favorite 8.8.8.8 DNS server and another server DNS 8.8.4.4 and then rebooted.  Search on Windows Update is now successfully!  I am humbled and grateful!

  In my case, I got the window update 80246002 error code after I uninstalled KB2982791 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-045 and then tried the updates.  I have nothing clears the error (ipconfig/flushdns, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, a few MS Fix, etc...).  KB2993651 being the replacement update I was trying to download and install, I decided to manually download the update from the windows update (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB2993651) catalog.  After you downloaded and installed KB2993651, I rebooted the PC and then I was able to check Windows updates again without entering the 80246002 error code.

• A clean installation of Win7 Pro 64 Bit OS SP1 maintains the search for updates. (Error 0 x 80070005 windows update)

  Hi, I recently formatted my HD and clean installed with an older version of Win7 Pro SP1 x 64 OS, I more than a week now looking online for help, but nothing is. Windows Update appears to hang "search for updates". I don't presume that my Pc is virus free because of a clean install, so I'm not sure that Microsoft stopped providing updates for older versions of windows or not. I also tried to upgrade to OS 64-bit win10 everything works fine with the installation until it reaches "search for updates" which also hangs and does not download updates, I tried Microsoft stand-alone install also but who doesn't either. I also tried running "Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool" results are lower. I also tried to reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on the Microsoft Web site and found a windows "0x80070005" error code also known as "access denied." Something to do with registry permissions I think. A boot minimum, then run the Microsoft fixit would fix the issue im having with windows update.

• iPhone 4 continues the search for carrier

  Recently, I set my iPhone 4. And the iPhone keeps searching for service or signal or what they called it. I tried just like update my carrier setting, reset the network settings, turn on and outside airplane mode and even restore the phone. The most funny thing is always successfully can I activate my phone without going through signals. It certainly isn't because of the sim card because it works for my 5s. Any help?

• Windows Update crashes on the search for updates

  I ran the windows update the diagnostic tool, but that doesn't seem to be able to solve the problem.

  I read the other posts that I could find on this subject and tried a few things, but that did not fix it.

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit pro, the last time I ran windows update successfully was a few months ago. In the log it says he did install something a few weeks ago that I don't really understand.

  I really don't want to spend my time trying to solve this stupid nonsense, but my computer is in danger right now so please help me to solve this problem.

  You will probably need to install KB3153199, KB3145739 and maybe KB3109094 in advance for windows update to work properly. Links provided here:

  To check and install the latest updates for Photoshop you choose the "Help" menu > "Updates". Then Adobe Application Manager starts and indicates if there are updates or not (for all your Adobe software installed).

  But in Photoshop CC 2015.5 this does not work. In bridge CC 6.2.0.179 and the latest version of InDesign, it works as it should.

  Launch creative application of cloud and the search for updates also works.

  Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.
  Version of the file and the product should be showing 7.4.7600.226
  Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
  He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
   
  If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.
  The easiest way to do this is therefore download and Save the Fixit found here - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
  Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.

  BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
  If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
  Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
  Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
  
  NOTE: in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.
