• Frustration of Windows Update... need help

  I am trying to help my sister with the speed of his laptop computer.  It is an Acer Aspire 5570-2792.  He had become so slow that it took 10 minutes to start and enter fully into the Vista environment.  Finally, I ran the utility which formats the hard drive and restores the computer to the State nine factory, with Windows Vista Home Basic as the operating system.  After doing this, the fantastic ran computer with no problems at all.  It fully charged in about 1 minute Windows and programs such as Internet Explorer load into memory and ran as fast as 15 seconds.  Not bad at all.  However, when the updates of Windows started coming in (83 in total), they have installed (for about 14 hours, even on a DSL connection, to download), the computer is now just back to where it was before and perhaps worse.  It takes 10 to 15 minutes to start under Vista, and it takes more than 2 minutes for Internet Explorer start.  It's frustrating and absolutely unacceptable.  Please help... What can I do to run as if he had not all of these updates it slows it drastically this computer.  Please... it's just awful.

• Windows update PROBLEM - always needs to change first the file distribution system

  I am running with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition and are struggling to update my files after a clean reinstall.  Finally got through many strategies, but doing so thereafter (once) noticed that the failures occurred each time that the "System of Distribution" file in the windows folder has not had been empty of logs and the previous downloads.  Don't know what that means.  Any ideas?  Could there be a problem with the hard drive, processor, motherboard, short circuit? (Have no problems downloading on other computers in my house, my overall connection is good).

  Thank you.

• Windows Update says I need to install IE8, but when you try to installed it says I already have IE8.

  Windows Vista version 6.0.6002
  Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18828
  Windows Vista is 32 bit Home Premium

  Run Windows Update to get the latest update from Microsoft.  Windows Update indicates that I need to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista.

  Try to install it and it reports that "Setup cannot continue because a newer version of Internet Explorer has been detected on this computer."  Result in the Code E windows Update encountered an unknown error.

  Check under the "uninstall an update" to try to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer 8, however there is no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in the list as a normal OS Vista would have.

  So if Internet Explorer 8 is installed, so why Windows Update still trying to install it?  And why is there no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in "Uninstall update"?

  I just use the standard uninstall to remove Norton.  Before installing McAfee.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart & test.

  Norton applications are notorious for not to uninstall "cleanly". If the "remains" of Norton are at the origin of the behavior, run the removal tool should solve the problem. Ideally, you should run this utility before installing the McAfee application so YMMV.

• Windows Update says I need 53 updates, yet he cannot install even the premiera.

  I've lightened up to the os disk space and scanned several times for malware (Microsoft Security comes always too clean). I took it to a repair guy and it didn't fix it! When Microsoft Security try to update, it cannot, and when the Windows Update Web page is trying to update, it can also.

  Even when I try to install updated myself one, it fails.
