  My windows Vista (sp2) contains updates it refuses to install!

  (1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows (KB2468871)
  (2) update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB2533523)
  and
  (3) update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB2617986) this update of Silverlight includes the fixes described in KBs 2604930 and 2617986.
  When I tried to get help via the MS support, I was told that my install Silverlight could be the problem and uninstall all previous versions and install a new one.
  The current version on my machine is 3. something or other (Google Chrome me briefly earlier, but I can't seem to tell me yet again!) He also pointed out that the current version is 5. something or other.  However, I don't know--according to the functionality of uninstall in Control Panel - my version was installed on 21/01/2010 - about 7 months after I got the satellite (a Toshiba). It occurs to me - as it has been ongoing for awhile I fought first to make this thing work and then ignore it (neither of which, it seems, I am able of!)-update Windows is trying to apply can be updated too!
  According to the update of Windows, all three of these updates have downloaded - but I am not sure where...   When I tried to uninstall the old version of Silverlight, Windows Uninstall (via Control Panel) tells me that I need the Silverlight installation disc to go ahead. I've never had one! What can I do? Why these upgrades do not work? It has been for months!  Help, please.

• My program guide lists refuse to update in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  Original title - Windows Media Center

  Can someone tell me please how to open a bug with Microsoft for Windows Media Center?  My program guide lists refuse to update and I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Thank you.

  My problem started on his return from holiday. During my absence, there was a storm and a loss of power. All my computers and the router stop. When I rebooted, Windows wanted to install updates. I believe that these updates began the problem where my TV Guide schedule was empty.

  Efforts to download the latest guide ads has not solved the problem. This was the case even if WMC has indicated that the download was successful.  Finally, I chose the TASKS menu/settings/TV/TV signal/Scan for multiple channels. I think scanning for more channels was the last choice. It could have been 'Intensity of the aerial for digital TV Signal'

  Anyway, the WMC scanned for all available channels, I get through a digital TV antenna and the USB receiver. Once the process is complete, the calendar is also worked.

  Go figure. I'm still working through other non - WMC created the Windows Update issues.

  I hope this helps.

  I'm trying to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 on an old laptop while it's still free, my newest computer is broken. Tracks app normally until he's looking for updates, how she stops doing anything, and the little loading icon turns constantly. I tried to update to Windows 7 and it did the same, refusing to update. Probably the problem is related, and this computer won't download updates.

  How should I proceed?

  Review:

  • How to: 10 things to do if the Windows 10 install fails.

  Retry the upgrade manually:

If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost

  original title: lost document

  I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?

  If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.
