• Windows Live Update and now GTA IV do not load.

  Whenever I try to load either from the desktop computer, or directly to the release of the album I just get the message saying that GTA IV has stopped working, no other information. Don't have the two disks in this House at the moment so if there is a way to fix without having to do a reinstall, which would be very convenient. I use Vista but do not know if this is the problem as it worked fine before the update.

  If you remove an update, you put Windows back to the State wherever it was
  before the update, without fixes the problems, improvements, and
  improved security. It would be extremely unwise to remove them.

  I am running xp, I increased my memory,

  You have increased your memory or your disk space? What is it and how
  is a large part now?

  and Im trying to eliminate all unnecessary programs.  Any other suggestions?

  Uninstalling programs can save you some disk space (very little),
  but it won't do anything for your memory.

  If you are short on disk space, almost everything you do will be nothing
  but a stopgap measure. You will arrive soon in the same
  situation. The only real solution is to buy a larger hard drive.
  Fortunately, they are very cheap at the moment.

  I run windows XP on PC. A window Explorer windows asking me to update Firefox 21 popped up. The window includes a link 'more info' and a 'remind me later' and 'install' button. Never seen this style of notification before anything so I clicked and rejected the window. Is this a legitimate firefox notification? Otherwise, what have I been invaded by, and how should I proceed?

• Windows 8 for Windows xp update fails at 90% and does not start.

  I read the below and see if there are solutions.

  I paid for 1 hour to help Microsoft Tech to take on my desktop computer and at the end

  He said there are so many chat lines, he could not follow after clicking on install.

  He beat anything, antivirus, I disconnected all devices except the mouse and keyboard.

  Of course the update, which I downloaded and confirmed with their diagnosis that the

  computer has been updated failed 90% and would not restart.

  When I went to system logs, I even tried to disable restore.

  Nothing helps.

  I think there must be something which is not allow restarting after installation.

  The message just says: failed to install. No diagnosis or whatever it is.

  If a Microsoft technology, which grabbed my computer couldn't do work I'm close to trying to get

  my money back and stopped a complete package. I don't have to Microsoft backup disk, which
  I'll try again.

  Once again: problem is installation of Windows 8 reaches 90% and then only will fail.

  ... Install only Windows 8 reaches 90% and then fails.

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade a Windows XP-based computer or install Windows 8 (.1).

• Windows 7 update msxml now wirerless does not work

  install router wireless n again portable sony with windows 7. Windows msxml update and now the wirerless does not work

  Hi Mary1965,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

  ·         What is the error message or the error code that you get when you try to access the wireless internet?

  I suggest that you run a troubleshooting utility that might help you to connect wireless online.

  1. click on start.

  2. troubleshooting in the start search type.

  3. click on network and Internet in the Troubleshooting window.

  4. click on the NIC to resolve problems with the wireless connection.

  Check now if you are able to communicate online wireless or not.

  If the problem persists, I suggest you uninstall this particular update which was responsible for programs and features and check.

  Now start the Windows updates once more and check.

  You can try to install the stand-alone package to update manually and check.

• Windows Vista - update causing high memory usage

  I got the pages of updates over the past two years. I think the volume of updates had a negative impact on the use of memory and the computer takes an extremely long time to boot and load anything. Windows creates a record high every day useage, although all similar products Office software have been removed. I took it home and it should work fine. There is no Add - ons, with the exception of a printer.

  (1) is the volume of updates slow down my system to a crawl?

  (2) what can I do to fix the problem?
