• Database pogram worked under Windows XP but does not work under Vista

  I have a piece of third party software that I bought in 2002 is based on MS Access. It is a program of inventory control with a number of predefined data entry forms and reports. Initially, he worked under Windows 2000 and continued running when I upgraded to Windows XP. However, after the upgrade to Vista, I get the error message "the Microsoft Data Access components are not found on your system. These must be installed to the program works correctly. "I've updated to Office 2002 to Office 2007 to try to solve the problem, but without success.

  Are there other components of access or other software that I can download to keep this work programme (the original third-party supplier is no longer in business).

  Furthermore if this third party access program is a "module compiled access", and then upgrade to Access 2007 will not help. You may be able to connect to the old Access db to Access 2007, but then you have to write all the modules to allow the use of the program.

  If the program is not a compiled module in Access 2007, you must change the vba modules to be complient with your installed version of access

• Windows Update does not work under Vista

  Hello! I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit and a few weeks ago, I noticed that my windows updates had stopped working. I followed the instructions to do a repair of my drive, but got "the upgrade is not available. Press Cancel and then select upgrade to a newer version than what you have "." However, there is nothing that gives me this opportunity. How am I supposed to fix it then?

  I have a feeling that this happened after a service pack has been installed (3?), but as I put it to the automatic updates I have not noticed exactly when he had ceased. I'm frustrated and very frankly also irritated. I paid a fair bit for Vista Ultimate and I'm basically says my drive is useless. I ran the Microsoft Fix It, and he said he solved the problem, but it didn't. I also did a system restore and that do not also not fixed the problem. The error code I get whenever I have try to do an update is 80070490. I saw a lot of messages from people having this same problem, while searching for a solution, so there's obviously a problem somewhere I would appreciate to help get it sorted please.
  Thank you and best regards,
  Sharon

• Windows update website does not work

  Hello...

  I recently had a problem requiring a reinstall instead of XP Pro 32-bit to backrev to SP2. Basically I have been running SP3, but was constantly reminders, insistence, etc to update to IE8, and after continuous pressure, I finally said 'ok' and went ahead with it. And he threw quickly across into itself.

  Accordingly, I did an uninstall of IE8, but concluded that IE7 could no longer work. After checking for a solution and try the patches recommended, nothing has worked, and since I'm at SP3, IE7 could not be uninstalled (this is possible for SP2). There is no information available for SP3 uninstall, so I had finally "repair" XP by doing a reinstall instead of booting from the XP SP2 cd. It worked pretty well, and everything was back to normal, even if I was now running IE6.

  So, I had the ACR IE7 on your site and tried to install it. There is no problem during installation - no message of error - but after the reboot. I was unable to open IE7 anyway. ERGO, I had no choice but to uninstall it. Thank gawd I rarely use IE; nothing else was touched and Firefox & Acoo both work very well.

  To try to resolve the problem of IE7, some "corrections" for "IE7 will not run" involve open IE7 and perform certain tasks. Seems to be quite a task: IE7 will not run, so go ahead and open and... Riiight. Anyway, I don't have the tools of correction for reset and disable add-ons, but unfortunately, they specify that I must first install SP3. No way will reinstall SP3 until I see IE7 work @ SP2; Simply much too, it would mean an extra effort to do a re-install of SP2.

  I'm ready to install other patches, although I noticed that nothing has been downloaded after I backrevved to SP2. As a result, I went to windowsupdate.microsoft.com do updates manually. He installed the required ActiveX control, analysis, and then returns the following message is displayed:

  "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem.

  For self-help options:

  • Frequently asked Questions
  • Find Solutions
  • Windows Update Newsgroup

  To support options:

  • Microsoft online assisted support (no cost for Windows Update issues) "

  So I am now running SP2 and everything seems fine, except that I can't apply updates, nor can I run IE7.

  Virus Info: this machine is running Microsoft Security Essentials and AVG Antivirus, and both are up to date and returned "no items found" after a FULL analysis. I also did a manual FULL scan using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (also updated to current rev & GIS files) and it is an executable placed under my login in Documents & Settings of DiVX, that triggers an application running ads when I open the DiVX player. He was NOT in the Windows directory. AVG and MSE up-to-date and run full scans every night, so if you believe it is a virus, I would need proof. You would also be admitting that MSE is wrong; I've been running for more than a year.

  Caution: again, I won't install SP3 & IE8 until I see that IE7 will run correctly @ SP2, which - at least in part, it will apply updates that I can't apply. Please spare me the answer "well, updated to SP3 and IE8 first, and we'll see if that fixes it. If you're wrong, I'll be right where I started and will have to go through the process again to get where I am now, lose a lot of time in the process. I don't know if it is a community site, but please, only a response from someone who can provide real help for the problem of why the update site simply says there is a problem, but does not provide any additional information about the error.

  Yes, I know that XP will support discontinued from April 2013. It is now Sept 2012.

  Thanks in advance for any help legitimate that you can offer.

  Support for XP SP2 took end July 2010 - http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean31

  The Windows update website no longer unless you are at SP3. I did a new install of SP2 and verfied. The mistake that almost everyone gets in these conditions is 0x8024400A. I think that if you look at the WU error page again you will see this code.

  You say that you will not install SP3 so we cannot help. You are committed to a comprehensive system of faults for the life of the PC. If you change your opinion then we do know and I/we will try to help.

  BTW XP died in April 2014 not 2013 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx

• Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

  After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

  Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

  All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Reset.

  Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  Reset.

  Try to get updates.

  If it still does not work, try this...

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  3. Reset
  4. Try to reinstall updates

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  STILL no?

  Use this FixIt:
  How to get the latest version of the Windows Update Agent

  Reset.

  Save components WU:

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     regsvr32 Jscript.dll
     regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll

• System restore not working not because of an error unspecified "buffer overload. How should I do?

  My computer is working great and I was about to start a new project. I decided to organize my files first. I moved a file, went it was too large and would take too long, so I canceled the action. Somehow it deleted the file without warning. The computer has become slow. Tried three different restore points, no joy. I have a HP DV7 AMD Turion X 2, 64-bit Windows Vista (all important and recommended updates are installed).

  Hello
  
  What was the location of the original file?
   
  , Note 1: You can check the file into the trash and see if you find the file here.
  Note 2: System Restore will not help recover data loss. You may need a third-party recovery tool that does.
   
  Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
   
  Method 1: Because the system restore does not work, you can make the SFC scan and see if that helps:
  SFC scanner. Analysis (sfc) System File Checker will Windows replace corrupted or missing system files on your computer.
