• When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.

  When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.  I have a HD card of ATI all-in - Wonder and an Acer X203H LCD with DVI connection.  If I use system restore to go back, I can get higher resolutions, but Windows does its thing and I'm back at low resolution.  I can't change the settings manually as 1024 watch as the highest res available to the general public when this happens.  There must be some weird conflicts.  I tried to update the drivers, that made no difference.  Is there a setting Aero or the conflict at stake here?  In the past, I've had trouble with a display of balnk and I had to go back to the 2008 version of the driver to get things to work.  From there, whenever I update, I can keep high resolution, but after the last windows update (security of IE8 and much smaller pack that was released on March 28-30), it dates back to 1024 x 768 again.  Control Panel and catalyst control the two show that as more high resolution available for refresh rate. Suggestions?

  Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

• Downloaded and installed Windows updates. Running to find the modified theme and no clear Vista theme.

  Can someone explain what happened? All the available themes are the current non-transparent theme, called 'Modified Theme' and the classic Windows theme.

  It's really strange and really very boring, simply because I didn't ask for this.
  Everything I have done differently was click on the button that says "downloads and installs updates before Shutting Down", in the usual area where is the sleep button.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

• To access the files and folders from the hard drive Windows 7 on Windows XP, access denied error message.

  Original title: portable destroyed - need for car access

  I don't know if this is the right forum - please advice if it is not.

  My friend's laptop computer was destroyed in a car accident. I pulled the drive and placed it in my desktop XP system and the drive appear in good health. However, I received permission issues trying to access records on the disk and thought that it was because of me using Win XP and the laptop was Win7x64. My questions below are based on the assumption that I'm not able to access these files on my Win XP system. If this assumption is incorrect, so please let me know.

  I have a laptop that I don't use and put the disk in it. I was hoping it would be plug and play all the new material, but after reading a little online, I know that this is not the best thing to do and will probably not work as did the earlier versions of Windows.

  In the end, I care retrieves the contents of the disc, although it would be great if I could lend my laptop for a few weeks with "its files" until it sorts how to replace the laptop.

  Can I get the player Win7x64 working on the laptop computer of replacement by reinstalling Win7x64 on this laptop? I'm not "means a clean install/reformat, but have rather the Setup program detects an existing installation, and do its magic to get the operating system runs on new hardware?"

  I know that this raises questions of MS licenses. If the installation process could get his old system running on the laptop replacement, if I have a small window of time completely to access his files before being forced to re-register the OS? I'm hoping so.

  I'm looking for only a short-term solution - I do not recommend that he hopes that drive long term because the laptop got quite truncated of the accident, and once he gets a new laptop it will have everything he needs on this subject (OS, licenses, etc.). If I have a small window of time where I can simply copy their important files, or to lend him my laptop with its player and him can bring to its domestic network and the print out of all the things that are important, that it's going to be all together to move them to a new laptop when it is available.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You experience this problem because of the permissions applied to these s folder.  To resolve this problem, you will need to take ownership of these files and folders.

  Method 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to take possession of the records

  Troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  (Article above applies to Windows Vista, not valid for Windows XP)

  Also check out the article below

  How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

  Method 2:  You can try a custom installation (not a format\clean facility).

  See the link below for custom installation
  using the install option custom without formatting the hard drive

  Note: In custom installation only data would be transferred in Windows. Drivers, applications and the old folder will need to be reinstalled.

• Windows Update always running in background

  Hi all

  I am running Vista and have reformatted and reinstalled three times in the last four or five months.  Whenever I installed, the pc works fine for a while then after a windows update, I don't know which, I start getting a lot of substantive activity on my hard drive.  This activity relates the mouse so much that sometimes it won't let me move it for 10 to 20 seconds.  Even with the keyboard.

  After each reinstallation, I load Vipre, to update and run a security analysis. Can I update Vista with each patch MS listed as critical or recommended before installing other software.  Now, all that is loaded is MS Office, Adobe Web Premium, Sony Ebook Library and some printer drivers.

  Manager tasks indicates little activity, 1-3% on each of the 4 hearts.  I restarted in safe mode, just to see if it might be something that takes over and I have the same problem in safe mode.  Lock the mouse and the hard disk activity.  Again, all the security scans show nothing other than a few cookies.

  I saw in other Councils there have been problems with either Windows Update has blocked upwards or with the MS .net framework installed.

  Someone has seen this before and if yes is there a solution that doesn't require a reformat and reinstall?

  Thanks in advance,
  Eric

  I'm still confused why you say "Windows Update is always running in the background" If you have not confirmed it.

  -Online open tasks on the process tab Manager: is there always an instance of WUAUCLT. EXE running in the background?

  Moving...

  After a clean install, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer". After each cleaning installed, you take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a network otherwise and before using a USB or SD card that was not brand new, or had not been freshly formatted?

  Is WinXP fully patched to Windows Update & is also installed & updated VIPRE up-to-date?

  The foregoing notwithstanding:

  On the Vista partition:

  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.

  On the partition of Windows XP:

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

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

  6. double-click on the file that you saved in #4 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Not better?

• Windows Update will download but not install. However, stand-alone updates will install fine.

  Download updates very well, but after that, they fail to install immediately. It seems to go so fast that he does not even try to install downloaded updates. I did everyting for repair/upgrade to update / save the components associated with the windows updates and microsoft Setup. I also deleted the cache update and downloaded fresh copies of the updates, but still no instlal. I even did a repair install on xp at a given time. The machine had a malware infection, but I healed part, including purging the master boot record and wiping the boot sector. I am really puzzled at that time and any direction would be greatly appreciated.
