Windows is preventing me to download and install games on computer.
Hidden object games are blocked by Windows saying that they are corrupted files or missing something. Whenever I get a somewhat different message. The games that I downloaded and installed previously are too blocked. I'm pretty much computer illiterate so I can't be more specific, but I called so-called experts and they have not been able to solve this problem. As I have not had any problems for a year, that I do not understand why it started to happen. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and the same thing is happening on it. Other types of computer games do not do this.
Maria,
It is certainly a strange situation. Let us know the results of trying to install it on your other computer. If possible try my suggestion to download it from a PC and a completely different location and put it on a disk or usb drive. Copy it to your PC, and then try to install it.

Updates are always safe to download and install on my computer?
After you receive the message that I have updates to download and install, is ALWAYS completely safe to do? With my last PC, I got a typical announcement, completely legitimate-looking that I had "several important updates" that I needed to download and install. I have had these ads before on the necessary updates and always took the lead with download and install them. BUT after the download and installation of these special "updates", my computer was completely dead and never worked again - I couldn't even get it to blue screen! Absolutely no response when I turned it on. Since there was nothing wrong with it before these "updates", I can't help but conclude that some of these "updates" are not only wrong, but also deadly!
Hello
Yes always install updates. They solve the problems of security and improve the stability of Windows. If you have any problems, create a new question and we can help you solve these issues :)

After I download and install games since the game first, big fish games and try to read a message box if poster indicating the name of the game has stopped working and that his search for a solution and you inform that a solution is found. Here are the games I bought on these sites. Games I buy in stores and install work. Am I missing a driver or something?
Hi Knbrown,
Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!
Most of the online games use Java and Flash Player. If Java or Flash Player is not updated, you can get this error message.
I suggest that you install the latest version of Java and Flash Player and make sure if you are able to play, you can see the link to download the latest version and install it by selecting the appropriate operating system:
http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

If the problem persists, I suggest that you check with the manufacturer of games for assistance, you can check the link: http://bigfishgames.custhelp.com/app/home
Let me know if it worked.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

is no longer to download and install updates for Windows 7
I always applied Microsoft "patches" when they were available, including items that were available in may 2016. I have not installed new software. I use Norton Internet Security from the beginning of the year 2016, which keep me also.
More than two weeks now, I tried to download and install the Microsoft "patches" for June 2016. I sit down and turn with 0% downloaded until I give up.
I try to download and install the June 2016 'roll-up' (KB3161608). After doing so, ' Check for updates ' seat and turns until I give up.
I tried the various "solutions" offered by the "community":
YES, the date and time are correct
YES and all two KB947821 KB2509997 were installed when they were offered
YES, I tried the "Workaround" (run services.msc, remove C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, etc.).
Nothing works!
Microsoft needs to get this fixed number, as their 'Windows Lifecycle Fact Sheet' CLAIMS that they will provide "extended support" through January 14, 2020.
The question did you use the Rollup June is the same one that prevents you from installing: looking at a standstill. It is necessary to stop the search by choosing never 'Find updates' and restart. :)

Windows updates fail to download and install the new
Good afternoon
I recently bought this satellite laptop computer pro on the package was both windows vista Home premium. I also decided to change fnsi at the same time. The provider also gives Norton Firewall Virus Intrusion etc etc.
Microsoft does not validate my system but after that 2 hours on the phone with them and a system restore, they have agreed that I had bought some valid stuff and that fixed it.
Now it seems windows updates icon appears ask me do I want to download and install.I do but every time, it fails, there are about 11 things that fail, no installation. I rang Microsoft today that they made one or tow things say but PC Toshiba's fault.
Please, anyone had this happen to them and got the solution (s)?
Please take into consideration that my knowledge of pc can be written on the back of a postage stamp. Do like me simple.Thank you
Did you try to disable the firewall or uninstall Norton? Norton may block the Internet connection.
If the provider uses a Proxy Server, you need to enter the proxy in Internet Explorer connection settings.
