• Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.

  Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.  Whenever I tells me the installation succeeds only to ask again to update.  I tried the fix - it solutions, and they have not corrected the problem.  Also, I did a virus scan and found nothing.  All my other updates were installed without problem.

  This problem is related to the MSI registration information inconsistancies.  I was able to fix by using a cmd "msiexec /i {C09FB3CD-3D0C-3F2D-899A-6A1D67F2073F} ADDLOCAL = ALL/l * v % temp%\repairLog.txt.  At the end of this process, the two installed normally KB and I have now no critical updates in the meantime.  I noticed that article 917964 described a situation where IE would not work if the repairs were made the xp without removal of IE8 or IE 7 first.  My IE 8 works fine.  By 917964, "before you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, you must uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8 of the Windows XP computer.". If you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, when a later version of Internet Explorer is still installed, Internet Explorer does not once the repair is complete. »

• New SSD in T430, Windows does not, tried everything...

  Hello

  I bought a T430 a week ago. I'm not completely inept with computers: I have successfully added an another 4 GB of RAM with no problems.

  Then I wanted to replace my HDD with my SSD. I know that the SSDS works because he was in another laptop. I put it in an external dock; It hooked up to my T430. He allowed. I kept safe backup HARD drive, I used several times since then. I also did a recovery of Windows on a CD disc.

  I cloned the HARD drive on my SSD using EaseUS software and said to make it bootable. It didn't for me, so I blamed the software.

  Then I used Acronis True Image to make a bootable copy of my setup on a USB key. I turned on the computer with just the SSD (empty) and tried to load the USB key. My computer does not recognize the bootable copy of white point. Everything takes back me to a screen asking me which drive I want to start since several times.

  Good then, I said, clone the HDD to the SSD and try the bootable USB. Has done this, but it had no effect. Same problem as above.

  Okay okay, let's try a new installation on the SSD using the recovery disk. That's when the real fun happens. I get to the menu on the theme of Lenovo System Recovery, and I click Next. Then I get a warning message saying "this version of the System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of Windows. What? I did only this morning. I don't think that the main Windows updates has been since then! (Just in case, I made an even more recent recovery disc tonight. I had the same error).

  Then I erased the SSD and tried the recovery on the own SSD disk. Same mistake once again. Recovery disks do not work, the system does not recognize the USB copy and the SSD cloned (and allegedly boot-loan) does not start.

  What is going on? All I'm doing is replace my with my SSD HARD drive and running Windows 7. I don't think it would be this hard

  Some additional points:

  -I'm inserting readers. The computer can read it is a series of 840 Samsung SSD.

  -There is no problem with the USB. My office can read very well and sees that there are 29GB of stuff there.

  -J' have changed the boot order in the BIOS to load the disk USB (or CD) first.

  -J' disabled the safe boot option in the BIOS.

  -J' tried UEFI, inheritance, etc. etc., mixture of both.

  -Yes, it's a legitimate copy of Windows. It came with the computer a week ago. There is [i] might [/ i] a question I try to reinstall Windows 7 on SSD, but the only recovery disks that come with the computer are Windows 8... but then how do I get Win 7 on my SSD?

  -J' looked for in the forums. None of the solutions proposed (for most listed above) have worked.

  Any help would be appreciated, people.

  I had one extra hiccup. The disc of Windows 7 could not find the product key for activation/product on the BIOS. Couldn't any semi-douteux program I downloaded. So I could not allow Windows 7.

  I called Lenovo. They said it was my fault for using disks of Windows recovery instead of Lenovo recovery disks. (God forbid! It really should not matter. It is a terrible approach the part of Lenovo who their initial recovery disks gave me an error about the licenses, but yet they apparently do not support the Windows stocks recovery disks.) In any case, after that I said to the officer - in my polite way - that it is a ridiculous scenario, she offered to send me Lenovo recovery disks.

  I agreed. They arrived today. I reinstalled Windows and now everything works fine.

  In the case where someone reads this thread in the future: ask Lenovo will send you recovery disks Win 7 Pro and use after the installation of the SSD. It considerably facilitates the process.

• Impossible to get Fallout 3 to run Windows 7. Tried everything, please help!

  So I literally disappeared EVERYWHERE and tried EVERYTHING and still not get my FO3 work :/

  I did the d3d9, tried every compatibility, fixed parts of the .ini I was supposed to and even tried the affinity. NOTHING WORKS. It still crashes very quickly once I have created a new game.

  If you have any other suggestions please let me know. I'd really like to play my FO3 :/

  Here is my card if they help:

  OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  Model: Dell Inspiron N4110 (laptop)
  Processor: Intel (r) Core i3 - 2310 M CPU @ 2.10 GHz, 2 100 Mhz, 2 Lossnay, 4 logical processors
  RAM: 4 GB
  Graphics card: Intel HD integrated Graphics

  I know, that he should not have to do with my graphics card, because I know people who also have the game works very well with an integrated graphics card. Thanks in advance! ^_^

  
  And please no mods who just copy and paste the same answer to every question... I want to help legitimate working :/

  "I know that he should not have to do with my graphics card, because I know people who also have the game works very well with an integrated graphics card. Thanks in advance! ^_^"

  Just to unravel the terminology. There is no 'card' with integrated graphics. There are
  chips on the motherboard for some, but the graphics card Intel are part of the cpu.
  As with graphics cards, Intel HD graphics card not all are created equal, so if your machine doesn't have the same processor as the 'other' it doesn't have the same onboard graphics.
  You cpu has HD3000 graphics that should be enough run the game, but you have
  starting with some settings and resolution and work your way to the top if the game runs OK.
  In addition, the different laptop models have a different amount of VRAM dedicated, then
  If your model has only 64 MB of VRAM, it is less likely to work the game.
  If your machine is not the same brand and model and does not have the same software
  configuration settings and system as the 'other' it can not be compared accurately.
  Many small things add up to a big difference.

  Describe the crash - lock-up, black screen?
  Screen black accidents are common with FO3, and anything that can be done is to try and
  minimize them. camera comes with the question of four cores, or by using the settings too high.
  It can also be your anti-virus. Try disabling that before launching the game.

  "And please no mods who just copy and paste the same answer to every question...". I want legitimate help that works :/ »
  This is done especially in the absence of details ("my game not start what to do?)
  in the original post.
  You have to start somewhere and the cut and paste is generally these steps which must always be taken. There are no shortcuts to troubleshooting, and assuming that "which can not be she" can lead to more frustration, especially after several hours of stuffing about to find that's all (* headbang *).
  It said that some of the answers cut and paste are not yet on the subject, but it is a
  Forum of the community of civilians, would be nice.

  Ok then.
  -You tried the 'quad cord fix? You don't need with a dual core cpu and use
  may be counterproductive. Like the game runs better on two hearts he can also help
  to disable hyperthreading on the cpu, that two "virtual" cores more equals four.
  -That you have installed the game using Vista sp1 compatibility mode. (Note I said installed)-
  -You have installed the Windows 7 codec pack to solve the problem of ffdshow, or used another
  method.
  -You have installed all Windows updates
  -The game has been patched and you have not yet installed mods.
  -You do not use Anti-aliasing, Bloom, HDR or V-sysnc (which use too many resources for your HD graphics card).
  -Do you have a pagefile (virtual memory) enabled?
  -What parts of the .ini correct you?

  Clean boot is a viable option for troubleshooting software conflicts are always a potential-
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Review the programs that you can run after you start in Windows as a potential
  Thus the conflicts. With minimum specifications, you need minimum stuff running while

• DNS server error that always brings back us to windows update erros trying to get on the internet

  Vista - hate him. I spent hours on the phone with a brand new computer that Toshiba with Vista 64-bit Edition Internet will stop working with the DNS server unknownerror. Sometimes reboot help but with all Windows update he internet is a luxury. Internet connection is perfect, perfect bc other laptops in the House with no problem, router, no viruses etc., computer - fine tooth - comb nothing.

  Take each OFF download windows update and work until updates again and then started barking at me, something is missing like its updates! Can't very well what update is screwing the connection or networking or a framework-Silverlight is always suspcious to me also.

  My icon for internet splits in two and shows as a #2 without asking confirmation except for a mysterious update. Access: Local and Internet. Symbol of the Internet will be turned off and will not ever look like disconnected until you try to connect.

  That's why people are going to Apple. Windows will not help or is somewhere secret and accept just your visa and mastercard and so what still you? Vista I can't update and no security.

  Toshiba is not very user-friendly, that is toward the back, they discovered Windows was the question. Isn't our problem, said - even if we're stuck with Vista with their product!

  I'd love to hear if someone has SIMILAR problems or if anything that I did not have tried! Thank you very much.

  Signed. Never buy new windows - toshiba on my list too.

• Not able to boot after that windows update, just trying to install the number 3 setting 3, and then restart the computer. With the help of Windows Vista SP2

  Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2

  The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.

  For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.

  What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.

  All the world has noticed this problem?

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

• Fix for common problems associated with Windows Update repeatedly trying to solve the same problem

  When the machine running Windows Update on a Windows XP Professional (SP3 with IE8), the information for the download of the ActiveX bar does not appear. Tried to run the Fix for "Common problems with Windows Update" and it says "Windows Update components must be repaired. Difficulty-it short, reports of success, "Found Themes" saying "one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly". However, still unable to download updates from the information bar does not appear. Repeating the difficulty happens with exactly the same problem i.e. reports etc. but no success still can not download the ActiveX on Windows Update since the information bar never shows up.

  At tried all the suggested solutions I can find for the reported similar problems such as checking the downloads ActiveX security settings, reset Internet Explorer settings, and even resetting Windows Update (Articlce ID 971058) components. Still no luck. Therefore, I am unable to manually check and download updates of Windows security.

  Otherwise my PC works well. Norton Internet Security is installed but did not prevent Windows Update to work on another PC I have. The information bar appears sometimes for other downloads, and it doesn't seem to be a problem on the Windows Update page.

  Please can you help. Thank you.

  No, I'm not not first uninstall IE8 (or IE7) before proceeding with the repair facility...

  Long history, technical, short version: do not uninstall IE8 (and/or IE7) before doing a repair installation (Windows XP only!) leaves the two Internet Explorer and Windows in a State of "confused" or "broken". Your only recourse now is a clean install of Windows (after backup your personal data).

  No, another repair facility won't solve the problem - even if you uninstall IE8 beforehand.

  Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

  Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

• Windows Update crashes trying to check the computer

  Windows XP Professional x 86 with all important updates

  Running as an administrator

  When I try to go to Windows Update, I get a message saying that an ActiveX control must be installed to save your computer.  (The machine worked for awhile and used Windows Update.)  I click OK and then get a popup error message:

  ---------------------------
  IEXPLORE. EXE - Application error
  ---------------------------
  The instruction at "0x04fe0068" referenced memory at "0x04fe0068". The memory could not be "written".

  Click OK to terminate the program
  Click on CANCEL to debug the program
  ---------------------------
  OK Cancel
  ---------------------------

  I tried several times and has continued to get the same sequence, so I said finally allow to do anything be installed from Microsoft.  Now if I try to go to Windows Update I got the same message appears on the installation of an ActiveX control, but do not receive the request to install it and IE 8 seems to hang or stand the memory error message.

  How to do this?

  Method 1 - has not found anything to fix

  Method 2 - stage 1 - did not help

  Method 2 - step 2 - could not find the validation ActiveX control

  Method 3 - does not - problem was with validation

  I also tried Mode safe mode with networking.  The control seems to settle and the website says: I have been validated.  However, if I tried to do anything whatsoever (Express, Custom, updates of the list, etc.) he says that the web page has encountered an error.

  I rebooted and tried again.  Yet once, I invited myself to install the ActiveX control.  I left the guest sitting there and a little while IE later throw the same memory access error.  It was not the installation of the control which was not - it is an asynchronous with process.

  Then I disabled all add-ins closed IE and has been able to use Windows Update.

  Add-ins that I disabled were:

  Name search

  It is a relatively clean system because it's just to run legacy applications.  I don't remember installing add-ins that do not specify an editor.

  In any case by disabling all the cured the problem.

  I've activated all EHF supplements I had disabled and closed IE.  I was always able to access Windows Update.

• Have no Microsoft Office installed, but Windows update keeps trying to install an "important security fix" for Office KB951944

  I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64bits. A trial version of office 2007 has been pre-installed, but I removed it. Because something was wrong with deleting automatically I followed the instructions of a Microsoft Office site to manually remove. Although I followed all the steps, I still think that Windows Update sniffs a bit of the program, cause he mind keeps me with the security patch. Anyone an idea how to get rid of it?

  Thank you!

  You can 'hide' any updates, but be aware that doing this cannot 'hide' all the new Office updates.

  How to hide updates in Vista: click on view available updates (or Select the updates installed). Right-click on the update you want to hide. Click hide update | Confirm the UAC (User Account Control) prompt, as appropriate.

  To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install | Restoration of. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.
