    every time I try to update windows vista im getting code error 80072efe any1 can help correct this also im in trouble with my nvidia when I turn on the screen of a resolution changes size corresponding to big how can I create a shortcut so I can enter the settings thanks

    With regard to 7200LE, to create shortcuts to items in the control panel (those that allow shortcuts - not all are available and very few subdirectories have this option), right-click on the Panel element and click on create a shortcut and move it to the desktop (or) - if it doesn't automatically go.   If this option is not shown for the item you want a shortcut could not be created unless you know the path and the name of the element - and then you can right-click on the desktop and click on create a shortcut and make the shortcut from scratch, knowing the target location.  If the parameters are in a program, then right click on the executable file of the program and click send to and then click on shortcut (Desktop).

    With regard to the problem of update, here is an article on the problems of update which includes the error oo listed - see if it helps:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941.

    Hello, I keep getting this error code when I try to check for new updates and when I try to watch the updates already installed plant Explorer and restarts... What should I do?

    Nasos_k31 wrote: I installed windows 7 32 bit except defender and firewall turned on, I don't have any other antivirus program installed.

    Windows Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an antivirus application. You must both be installed.

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing Windows updates and before installing your new anti-virus application.
