• Problems installing Windows 7 64-bit SP1: "The Installation was not successful" DS_S_SUCCESS (0x0)

  I'm unable to install the Windows 7 SP1 on my laptop.  I am running Win 7 64 bit and tried to install the 64-bit SP1 via the feature updates automatic first, then with the SP1 download manually (Windows6. 1 - KB976932 - X 64 .exe).   The progresses to install SP1 to the point where it shuts down the system and it is charging but when I log in I get the dialog Setup SP1 reporting "the Installation was not successful".  By clicking on the link error display shows DS_S_SUCCESS (0x0).

  (I followed the steps of troubleshooting 1) by using the Troubleshoot Utility "Difficulty of problems with Windows Update" and 2) installed tool Rediness of updating system, but the installation of SP1 still fails with the same error.

  I have successfully applied the SP1 on a different system.  No idea why I have problems with my laptop.

  Any ideas?

  C thx.

  Have you checked your hard drive to find errors? Another obscure, you might try is to disable User Account Control temporarily.

  Its possible, you need to perform an update of the BIOS if one is available for your ThinkPad T60p. Also, check the updated chipset drivers.

  Furthermore, disconnect any non-essential device, you may have attached to the system.

  Its possible the SP1 download may be corrupted, I would like to download another copy and try again.

• "Installation was not successful" Error_Handle_EOF (0 x 80070026).

  Tell me how to install Vista Service Pack 2.   I have Vista Ultiimate; but, all I get is "the Installation was not successful" Error_Handle_EOF (0 x 80070026).  I searched all sites for solutions, tried almost everything and found no help.

  Although it does not specifically mention this error code, see:

• I used to be able to make them a history of my navigation was not guarded in previous versions through 'tools', but this is apparently no longer an option in 6.0.2. How can I configure historical browsing to automatically remove or help at all?

  Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but in 6.0.2 all history by keeping the options no longer seem to exist... unless there is a menu hidden tools/options, I can not find.

  If the only option to clear the browser history should enter history and manually delete each line item, this (6.0.2) version is totally useless for me from a security point of view.

  If someone knows a solution to 6.0.2, please advise. I know that it's an easy solution in previous versions.

  Thank you!!!

  You seem to be missing tools and help menu items in the menu bar.

  Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  Why has been upgraded to El Capitan failed before?

  The only problem is that some applications require the upgrade and some devices that connect to the computer require updated drivers up-to-date. The problem is that for some devices and applications updates are not available and so they do not work with El Capitan.
