Windows 7 update says it is downloading files, but is always "0% complete" since August 2010 update attempt.

The system is Dell XPS 9000 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, less than a year, never had any problem update before August 10, 2010 update.  System was disconnected while I was away, started normally, when I got back 11/08/2010.  During the shutdown showed a normal notice of 15 records up-to-date with the usual "don't turn the computer" warning.  First three files updated, no problem. the fourth file in the 25% update complete message, he left for four hours, never has finished, remained at 25% full.  Have not been able to get 12 remaining files to download using the start of Windows Update.  Says it is downloading the files, but hangs at 0% complete, sometimes 15 percent complete, sometimes 32% full.  Tried to clean boot, etc., normal is fixation methods... no luck so far.  Been through forums, may have missed something.

Go to control panel-> system and security-> Windows Update and change to never check for updates (not recommended), and click ok.

now... to change the settings for Windows Update to install updates automatically (recommended) and click ok.

Try it now...

Which seems to solve my problem, even after the FixIt utility has been run, and has not fixed the problem.

    If your Apple TV fails to restore via iTunes...

    • Check that you have properly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
    • If this is not the case, already, try using a powered USB port.
    • Repeat the process, but this time try to connect the cable while iTunes is closed.
    • Repeat the process with another cable.

  • Cannot update windows because he says I'm not Admin, but I'm only one user on the RT button.

    How to regain administrative privileges on my device?

    Since there's a moment I've changed my Microsoft account info for access to my RT surface contact and now I'm not able to get the windows 8.01 update because he says that I am not the administrator.

    First, find where are all updates to windows. Go to control panel to control---> programs.  Then, under programs and features, you will see a link called "see updates installed". Under Microsoft Windows, scroll down to KB2871389. Uninstall and then to accept the demand for restarting your computer.

    Now, log in under your account (with administrator privileges) and then go into the corner until the floating menu comes up, then choose settings. In settings, choose Edit settings of PC downstairs. Then click 'windows update' at the bottom of the right side of your screen. Search for updates now and it will take a few minutes, but they will find a (KB2871389). There is a message saying it will download automatically in the coming days, but ignore that, click on the link to install the update/s now and choose install now (or something like).

    Connect with an account admin, go to the store, choose the 8.1 update and now no admin problem.

  • It seems that FFv.12 does not allow Scandinavian letters in the names of downloaded files, but gets stuck all by contacting the localhost?

    I do a fileupload page and it seems that FFv.12 does not allow for Scandinavian letters in the names of downloaded files, given that the browser gets stuck trying to communicate with the local host. Fix? This behavior differs from that of other browsers (IE, Chrome, Opera and Safari).

  • Windows Media Player cannot see the music files, but Realplayer works perfectly - what is happening?

    I am under w7 pro on a laptop, after the death of my desktop pc. After transferring my music files, I found that wmp is not working properly, although realplayer works perfectly. I prefer wmp, but it simply doesn't. The symptoms are:
    1. it shows all media in the library even if the music library is full of music when seen with explore.
    2. If I select a file in Explorer, it will play in wmp and is added to the library, but no other files cannot be added.
    2. library management does not work because after pressing 'manage libraries', then 'music', nothing else appears.
    3. There is no sheet set for extraction of the files (just a white in the location box) and 'change' has no effect.
    I tried the troubleshooting fix, which simply says that my mediaplayer library is corrupt, but nothing else.
    I also tried to remove appsdata/microsoft/mediaplayer files and even entire directory after checking the tips from microsoft on the net for another user. WMP is
    supposed to automatically rebuild the library and start again, but she just starts with a library empty unless any of the symptoms above are fixed.
    I understand that wmp cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled, if anyone has any suggestions for my next step? As I said, the music library itself should be fine as Realplayer works very well.

  • I have a lot of downloaded files, but since last week, none of them will open.

    There is a kind of glitch happening with Firefox as a setting Gmail also will work with him while he does in Internet Explorer. But everything else seems OK except downloads. It's as if all the files have been dimmed. They meet a double click or option open on right click.

    Open your antivirus protection. Check the log file and the quarantine folder.

  • Window Movie Maker will import my .mpg file, but will not play audio.

    I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Vista and Live for many years and I've always been able to convert my files to .wmv with ease. My old computer recently crashed and I reinstalled the program and codec I had on my new machine.

    A week ago, I was import and conversion of some files to .mpg without problem what-so-ever, but when I import my .mpg files now, I receive one of the following scenarios:
    (1) ".mpg is an empty file." (2.6)
    (2) the video works fine, but there is no audio data. Yet, if I play in Windows Media Player or any other program, I get the audio without problem. (Vista and Live)
    (3) I also run Magix Movie Edit Pro 15, but when it exports to .wmv, the video is distorted / restless (even with the anti-flicker filter on).

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs several times, went to the compatibility of the Menus and tried to post the video to see if the audio could have a defect in playback of the program, but without success.

  • fxscfqwz.dll download - file missing

    MS offers a download of this file?

    After a system crash, I rebooted my system, and my HP Officejet 6500 says he needs this file but can't find it: fxscfgwz.dll
    Is there a SAFE place to download this file without some malware or other annoying program loaded on my system?
    I can't find it on the computer or the recovery disks, when well even the MS site says it should be on the folder % path%\i386, and I found about 8 these records as C:\WINDOWS\DriverCache\i386 file but cannot find the file.

    There are a thousand sites that offer you allow to download, but the last time I did it, I had a program that once came EVERY DAY to ask me to a registry cleaning program, and I could never get rid of this recall.  As I rebooted my system just I don't think I need a software to register.  I just want to know a SAFE site that won't screw up my computer.

    It is never a good idea to download DLLs from an unknown source online.

    How do "recharge you" your system?

    This file is normally located in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\system32\dllcache, but because it is part of Windows XP Fax Services, which is not installed by default.  So, if by "reload", you mean you did a clean reinstall of Windows, it's why you do not.

    You have a C:\i386 directory?  If so, look for fxscfgwz.dl_

    This is the file in compressed format.  You must use the expand command in a command prompt window to remove it, so:

    expand C:\i386\fxscfgwz.dl_ c:\windows\system32\fxscfgwz.dll

    The copy in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache

    If you do not have C:\i386, you can download it from my SkyDrive (that's for sure).  Another file that is often lacking, when you try to install the Fax Services is fxsapi.dll, so I uploaded that as well.
