• Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

  I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

  I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

  I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

  If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

  I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

  I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

  No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

  Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

  Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
  A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

  What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

  I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

  I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.

• Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

  Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

  I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

  Thank you

  You have a lot more work to do.

• Error 0 x 80096001, several errors during the installation of Visual Studio, or running Windows Update or defender.

  Hello. I wanted to run Visual Studio 2010 Express edition on my Vista Home Premium, but ran into way too many problems. First of all, download have not installed because of a problem with the installation of .NET framework v4.0. Then I tried to VS 2008, but has encountered the same problem with the .NET framework. Whenever I try to run Windows update, it displays error Code 80096001 and said "Windows could not check for new updates. So I tried to download .net directly from microsoft downloads, but whenever I try to install it, it says I need to turn on .net "turn on or off windows features", in the control panel. I tried, but the list is completely empty, it shows nothing at all. I downloaded the vista sp1, but it too installation stops with error code 0 x 80096001.
  I tried to disable my anti-virus (avg free). Windows Defender does not initially upward or through subsequent attempts to run it. It shows the same error code. Please advise on how I can solve these problems and use Visual Studio... it's very frustrating because I never had these problems with XP... everything worked.

• E520 stock Windows 7 and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  We recently got a new E520 Edge to one of our teachers, had met with an interesting question.

  When you install Microsoft Security Essentials, on reboot, the Microsoft Antimalware Service goes from automatic to manual and the service is stopped.

  Before you start saying "Infected" do not forget that this system is straight out of the box and had not been on the internet for something else to install MSE. I also restored to the factory settings and tried again with the same results.

  A process that is to recreate it:

  (1) restoration of the system to the original image. (first attempt was out of the box)

  (2) strengthened with the Standard Windows 7 OOBE.

  (3) after the Windows 7 OOBE, a Lenovo window appears asking to activate Norton Internet Security 2012

  (4) does not have activate Norton as Norton will disappear. Norton is still installed.

  (5) do not install Office.

  (5) at this point, the desktop appears. So I uninstall Norton Internet Security 2012 and rebooted. (on the first attempt, I used the last Norton Removal Tool)

  (6) upon reboot, connected to the internet, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, upgrade to the latest defs and restarted.

  Restart on 7), started Services.msc and looked at Microsoft Antimalware Service. It is started and set to automatic.

  (8) 30 seconds later. Service is set to manual. The service is stopped. MSE has a red icon.

  (9) subsequent reboots will not start MSE automatically. It must be started manually. Put back the service to automatic will be cancelled manually on a restart.

  It must be something new added to the Lenovo images, because old E520 images had a different window of Lenovo who install Norton after asking the user, and MSE works very well on them, and I'm half tempted to wipe the hard drive and install that version on this laptop because I have restore media , but before I do, someone has a idea what installed app or rest Norton kills MSE program?

  He solved.

  Made a ton of tests on the laptop and followed the Lenovo RapidBoot problem. Looked for an update, and of course, there is an update that corrects a but in Lenovo RapidBoot affecting the Microsoft Antimalware service manual. Given that the system update does not seem to have the update available, here is the link to get the latest version.

• Windows Update, error: 80070641, Security Update for Microsoft Office system 2007: 2289158 KB

  I had some trouble installing the above update (security for 2007 Microsoft Office system update: KB 2289158). When the update fails, the error I get says:

  Code 80070641 Windows update encountered an unknown error

  When I click on the link below the error that says "get help with this error, a Windows Help and Support window opens with this in the search box:

  "WindowsUpdate_80070641" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  I did some research and it seems that this error indicates a problem with the installer, but I tried several proposed fixes and none of them work.  Defective patches include:

  -modification of the parameters of service by Windows install to start automatically and then start it manually, and then try to update

  -With the help of the (Administrator) command prompt to manually start windows update, and then try to update

  -Use of the (Administrator) command prompt to manually stop the windows update, then try to update

  -With the help of the (Administrator) command prompt manually update windows, then rename the files that have been damaged (sorry, I don't know more than what files), and then try to update

  -Disable UAC, then try to update

  -Use of the Download Center Microsoft to download the specific update and try to install.

  What's weird, is that it is the only update with the problem, I can and have installed every update that was shown to me.  Recently manually, I started Setup of windows with the command prompt, then run the update. Later, I tried to stop the service and restart, but the service was already stopped. It seems that the installation of windows service is stopped during the update.

  I'm running a Windows Vista x 86 machine.

  Any help will be appreciated.
