• Windows (Vista) Impossible to check updates, 80244004 error code

  My system shows status bar that updating windows icon with the message "Windows cannot check for updates. When I run the update of windows is gives the error code 80244004.

  In the last weeks, I tried several times to solve this problem, but in vain. I don't know how many suggestions I've tried, but here's a list of some of them:

  -Cleanboot,

  -Fix for windows KB947821 (update tool system),

  -Microsoftfixit.wu.LB139301626980876022.3.1.run.exe,

  -Microsoftfixit.wu.MATSKB.run.exe,

  -System File Checker,

  There is a bit of history for my laptop which can be substantial. The last three years, that my cell phone was in the closet due to a graphics card problem. Recently someone has managed to solve this problem and I might start again using my laptop. At first, I tried to make updates, but ran into the problem that the clock of the computers was completely obsolete. After resetting the clock to the time I was able to do some updates (don't remember those who however), but it just shows how much time the laptop was not in use.

  I first noticed the windows update problem when I saw the windows Defender Update icon in the system tray. I managed to solve that with a manual installation method. But I was not able to solve the problem of Windows Update.

  
  Windows Update displays "check more recent updates 14/09/2010" and below that it shows "updates have been installed 13/08/2013.

  According to the "history of the updated" the following updates have been installed since my laptop worked again:
  -Microsoft .NET framework client profile 4 for windows vista x 86 KB982670, date of installation 08/13/2013.
  -Update for windows KB928439, date installed 25/08/2013,
  -Multiple copies of the fix for windows KB947821 (analysis of system update tool).

  It was the last before update:
  -Update for windows defender KB915597 (definition 1.89.1145.0), date 09/07/2010 installation.

  I am running windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 86 SP2 on a laptop Acer Aspire 9303.
  In some database posts I've read on an anti-virus program ESET causing problems, but I do not run it. I have Malwarebytes, SUPERantispyware, CCleaner, Spybot and TDSSKiller.
   
  Can someone suggest a method step by step to solve my problem?
  Thanks in advance.

• iPad safari crash, reboot back to the home page of safari. Has begun to do this with 8.1 update and never stopped. I hope that new updates should solve this problem, but they did not. I will not buy an Apple product once again.

  MY iPad hangs on web pages to the home page of Safari. Started to do this with the 8.0 update way back. I kept hoping that each new update which would stop, but it's not. I is very annoying! According to me, I don't want another Apple product. I've seen other messages on this same thing and some answers say to hold the home button and button simultaneously until iPad goes out but this is not enough. Apple does not seem to care to fix it after all these months.

  If you think that every iPad 2 does that and ignored, Apple?

  You realize that it could be a website that you visit that could cause this? Or an application that you have. What did Apple say when contacts you to this topic? What else did you do besides a reset?

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

  Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

  There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

  It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

  System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

  Kind regards

  Lorin Boyack

  Hello Lorin,

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

  System restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

   

  NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

  a. close all running programs.

  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

  d. Select "start Task Manager".

  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
