Windows Update indicates that the files needed to use this service no longer exist on my computer. How to solve this problem?

After having problems with my computer at startup, I finally decided to try to use my Windows XP CD to repair my file system; However, it seems that the CDs partically reinstall some older files. Examples: the browser I was using was Internet Explorer 8, I have been using Windows XP Service Pack 2. After you use the Windows XP disk to try one the files system and stabilise my system, my computer was back to IE 6 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 was missing altogether. Like, I ordered this drive Windows Sp2 from Microsoft (to their urgering), on a CD a few years ago, I reinstalled it from my original disc. To try to solve the problem with my computer screen constantly enter engery saving as the system mode has been started, it seems that I deleted inadvertently or otherwise destroyed the Windows Update files must verify the authenticity of my software! Any help that anyone can provide with this problem will be more appreciated!

Hi William

Windows update no longer works for systems with SP2 or less. To check your systems service pack level, click on Start, run and type Winver in the Run dialog box. If your system does not already have Windows XP SP3 installed, download and install XP SP3 from the link below. (Ignore warnings about professionals of computing and network facilities).

Windows XP SP3.

Windows XP SP2. (According to THE level of SP)

Note:
If your system has a Processor AMD, download and install before installation of the SP3 of XP, the Upgrade utility Microsoft for processors not intel

    My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

  • Files with the help of Transcend F25 external USB Drive: copy, but I don't see that empty folders (disk size indicates that the files are still there, though)

    Hello-

    I use Windows 7 Professional and everything seems to work very well. I joined my new Transcend f25 USB (300g) to use for backups. I copied on about 20 concerts of archives and had run Windows it's first backup.

    Everything seemed fine, and the available space on the disc is now about 230g, that sounds right. The problem is I see only empty folders on disk!

    Now, I know with certainty that the files are there because I tried to plug the drive in an old laptop XP - bingo there was all my files! Can someone advise me? This seems to be a configuration problem, or maybe a drive error. The files were there when I added in the first place, however, is very strange!

    How can I see my files? Help!

    Thanks, Dave

    Check the disk for errors by using this procedure.
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2 - Click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on start.

    Kind regards.

  • In Windows Explorer, filenames in blue indicate that the files are duplicates or backup copies of files found elsewhere on my computer?

    I had saved my files on my hard drive (I know, I know, that's how dumb that... lol).  I think I have duplicates, reanalyses even perhaps files on the hard drive.  My concern is that many names are displayed in blue color text and they are also listed elsewhere on the hard drive.  Duplicate filenames of colored text blue or even system created versions of my files?

    Hello

    What are actually color encoding defined by Windows in the NTFS file system to facilitate the Identification of the type of file/folder
    For example: names of files encrypted and compressed files/folder appear in green or blue. You can also set whether you want to display this color:
    In, click Tools, Folder Options , and then on the tab display Windows Explorer.
    In the advanced settings list scroll down until you see Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color.
    Select or clear the check mark (as you wish)
    So you see this file/folder of green, blue are the files not double or triple.
    To find the clone files in your system, you can use a program like CCleaner which is easily accessible through the internet. But before you delete the clone you must be sure that you delete all system files, only files personal, or else it will create big problems.

    You can check this link for CCleaner: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/

  • Windows Update indicates that do nothing but updates, troubleshooting says error 0 x 80070057, tried several solutions but still not working

    I have an old HP 6730 b with Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit with Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40 GHz which I had more than three years.  It was working fine until a week or so; now the CPU meter is constantly at least 50% and random spikes to 100%, freezing of the computer for a few seconds.  I had a similar problem with CPU spikes earlier but three weeks ago, I took apart and blasted the propeller with the compressed gas to empty the dust of the processor fan and which seems to solve the problem - no more spikes.  I haven't installed anything or changed settings - I just used this laptop for basic - internet, Excel, Outlook, Word functions.

    First, I scanned for malware with Malwarebytes - no infection found.  Then I checked the Windows Update and it said I had about 20 updates and 180MB of updates to install.  Tried to install, but after an hour and 20 minutes, it always says download updated, 0% complete.  Updates failed to install.  My last successful update a little over a month ago (11/03/16).  Sidenote - my update of Windows has always been set to "check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install".  However a year ago he stopped advising me when updates were available.

    I spent half a day in searching the Internet for solutions.  Among the things I've tried:

    • Microsoft FixIt 50123
    • Solving the problems of diagnosis of Windows Update
    • Windows6. 1-KB947821-v34 - x 64
    • Subinacl
    • Reset.cmd
    • WindowsUpdateAgent-7, 6 - x 64

    Even after doing all these things, when I run the troubleshooting Windows Update Diagnostic tool he always says "Windows Update error code 0 x 80070057 (2016-04-17-T-11_03_43A).»  The date given in this error (2016-04-17) which seems to correlate with when I stopped doing notified that updates are available.

    When I go to the Task Manager, the affected SVCHOST that takes 50% of my CPU does not initially - I have to click "Show processes from all users" in order to see the svchost process that is constantly take up 50% of my CPU.  When I right click the process and choose "Go to service (s)", these are services that are highlighted - they are all 320 in the PID column:

    • AeLookupSvc
    • AppInfo
    • Browser
    • EapHost
    • gpsvc
    • IKEEXT
    • iphlpsvc
    • LanmanServer
    • ShellHWDetection
    • SENSE
    • Annex
    • Themes
    • ProfSvc
    • Winmgmt
    • wuauserv

    I don't know what else to do.  All the tips are greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • When you delete files (in Windows 7) Explorer hangs on 'calculate' the size of the files to delete. This problem also occurs in Windows Vista (out and included SP1).

    When this problem happens:
    * You try to delete files, from any folder: a folder user protected (such as your desktop), a protected windows folder (such as program files) or an unprotected folder you created yourself (for example, a folder named "test" on your C permit)
    * The problem only occurs when you try to delete files using Windows Explorer. The problem only IS NOT OCCUR when you delete the files from another system using one hand (log on to another computer, open a shared folder, for example by opening \\windows7system\c$\test and try to remove this folder).

    What's happening:
    * Explorer crashes when 'Calculating' the features of folder.

    Question:
    * Why is this happening? It seems to be a problem in Explorer, not in the delete code actually (since the problem does not occur with one hand)

    I don't know the underlying cause or how to fix it. However, something like Unlocker would work.
