Windows Update says I need to install IE8, but when you try to installed it says I already have IE8.
Windows Vista version 6.0.6002
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18828
Windows Vista is 32 bit Home Premium
Run Windows Update to get the latest update from Microsoft. Windows Update indicates that I need to download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista.
Try to install it and it reports that "Setup cannot continue because a newer version of Internet Explorer has been detected on this computer." Result in the Code E windows Update encountered an unknown error.
Check under the "uninstall an update" to try to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer 8, however there is no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in the list as a normal OS Vista would have.
So if Internet Explorer 8 is installed, so why Windows Update still trying to install it? And why is there no "Windows Internet Explorer 8" in "Uninstall update"?
I just use the standard uninstall to remove Norton. Before installing McAfee.
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 & test.
Norton applications are notorious for not to uninstall "cleanly". If the "remains" of Norton are at the origin of the behavior, run the removal tool should solve the problem. Ideally, you should run this utility before installing the McAfee application so YMMV.

I have xp pro I have activated telephone went through all the steps said active windows computing took me to the login screen, but when I try to connect, it tells me that I need to activate windows so I click on activate the itr tells me that windows is already activated, then takes me in the newspaper and did the same thing
To delete the message you are already enabled, you can force the activation on reboot. If the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak are damaged, they can cause a problem.
Restart in 'Safe Mode '.
Rename wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the the\Windows\system32 folder
Now, the message must be deleted, and you can now re-enable. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services -

Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.
Hello!
I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far. When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:
"Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".
There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.
I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open. I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.
Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed. That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times. Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open. I was able to record some videos. After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more. I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]
I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker. However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files). I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...
I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place. Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD. I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6. Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works. Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?
Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0. The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention. Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

Thank you!
Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"? Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix. As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.

Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.
I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »
After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).
The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.
Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.
The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.
The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.
It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.
On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.
The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.
Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.
However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.
***************************************************
Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?
Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.
This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.
So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.
Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

Recently updated Firefox 3.6.13 Firefox 13 - crashes when you try to open
I've been using firefox 3.6.13 for quite awhile; the reason why I have such an old version is because it's for a work computer, and an upgrade to newer versions in general is not homogeneous and can interrupt the working process.
Anyway, I find some downtime and decided that I would be upgraded to the latest version of firefox. Every thing seems to install fine, and he copied all of my addons on apparently (which I am thankful for). How ever, when opening Firefox it opens and displays two tabs saying "connection", but nothing happens beyond that. It just completely freezes providing the "waiting" icon when you move it. I tried + 10 minutes waiting for what ever treat was to finish, but nothing happened. To close Firefox, I need to kill the process in Task Manager.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same problem occurs. I tried to search earlier, stable versions of firefox, but couldn't find anything.
One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
