Windows Update service will not work after upgrading the hard drive
I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit, Home Premium SP2 with 8 GB of ram. I recently cloned my hard drive OEM of 500 GB, 5400 RPM Toshiba MK5055GSX via a standalone, dual drive bay dock for upgrade to a 750 GB, 7200 RPM, Western Digital WD7500BPKT. Since the clone/upgrade, Service Windows Update does not work and gives the message: ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. " You may have to restart your computer. "And Yes, I checked and everything related to Windows Update seems to be 'turned on' or well defined, but the service will not work. Notes; Windows Update still works with the player "OEM", it is only the new WD drive that has the problem. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion on getting this problem is resolved.

Update of Vista 32 bit does not work after replacing the hard drive
A month ago the hard drive of my computer (ACER Aspire 6920) had to be replaced. The disk image hard precedent (which includes the c: with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2 build 6002) has been mirrored to the new hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed that I don't have more updates from Microsoft. I tried a manual update and got the message that the update service was not working and I have to restart the computer. However, the Task Manager showed that the update service has been executed. Of course, I rebooted the computer, but nothing has changed.
I found a whole bunch of recommendations for this issue in this forum, but nothing seems to work:
- The Microsoft FixIT tool indicates a problem with the update of components, and then said that the problem had been solved successfully. However, the problem is still there and rerun the FixIt tool Gets the same message on a problem (yet) found and fixed.
- I also stopped the update service, delete all content in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarted the service. without success.
- I've temporarily disabled my security suite (Eset Smart Security 6) and tried the update. I also have fittings the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to the scope of the antivirus, without success. On the old hard drive, I used a different security suite so I thought that maybe the ESET (that I installed everything recently) could be the cause of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
- I also followed the instructions provided by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, but again, no change at all. However, it should be noted that registering some DLLs that Microsoft listed does not work (message that the DLL is not found or some server entry point (my translation, I'm using the German UI and don't know English good term; sorry) could not be found.)
Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 , I found another tool that supposedly can solve some problems of updating; I downloaded the version for Vista 32-bit, but it cannot install it on my computer (error code = 0xc8000247 during installation).
So I'm really lost now what else to do. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please note that I am not technically very warned :)
ARG, apologies.
Was not aware that they had dropped support for Vista... (I myself have 'graduated' Vista earlier)
The fact that you have not already installed TSRI is exactly your problem.
Recent hard drives using 'Sectors 4 K', also known as 'Advanced Format Technology'.
If the installed hard disk driver currently is not compatible with this specification,
It will result in oddities like the status of the service Windows Update is not recognized correctly.
Installation TSRI will fix this in most cases.
Alternatively, if you are using Vista SP1 or later version (or 7 SP1), you can use the real driver.
Since you are already updated to SP2, we will see if it is a viable solution.
Go to: start-> Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features
In the list of installed programs, locate and remove if found.
-Intel Matrix Storage Manager
-Intel Turbo Memory
This should force your computer to go back to the real driver provided by Vista.

Recently, my Toshiba hard drive failed on my Satellite L500. I replaced it with a new 500 GB hard drive. And then used my Toshiba restore to out of the box, however, as stated in the subject, it shows most of the Microsoft Services do not work. As suggested in another post, I ran MGADiag and here's what I copied. What kind of help you can give is appreciated.

Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211
I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches. It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago. He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function. After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore. It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.
The problem is that the update service does not start. An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is. Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:
1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.
2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).
2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)
3. install the KB2720211.
4. installation KB2734608
5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).
I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer. I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.

Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?
After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates. Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success. Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.
It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process. "Update history" produces a blank page.

It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process. "Update history" produces a blank page.
Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy. I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.) Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.
Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...
All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.
Search for malware:
Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:
Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)
Search online with eSet Online Scanner.
Reset.
Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
How to reset the Windows Update components?Reset.
Try to get updates.
If it still does not work, try this...
- Start an elevated command prompt.
- Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
net stop wuauserv
CD %SystemRoot%\System32
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv - Reset
- Try to reinstall updates
* Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:
- Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
- When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
- If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.
* Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.STILL no?
Use this FixIt:
How to get the latest version of the Windows Update AgentReset.
Save components WU:
- Start an elevated command prompt.
- Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
regsvr32 Jscript.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dllReset.
Try updates.
If it still does not work after this - say parts of the former post once again (no need to conduct a new analysis of malware) from:
"Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
... but stopping at... «STILL no?'.»»
Back - let everyone know what is happening.

HP 6520 will not work after changing the black ink cartridges
Changed the cartridges and now black ink will not work. This is the second or third time only to change the cartridges - did not have a problem before, but of course, it is while the printer was still under warranty. It is now about a year and a half.
I used all the suggested diagnosis - head cleaned, head aligned, etc, etc, etc, and nothing has helped.
The black cartridge worked after the swap, but with a few lines do not print or missing--now produces almost nothing.
Cartridges color was wonderful at the beginning of the troubleshooting process, but now they're starting to not look right - with spare no effort to correct the print head, he seems to be making it worse.
Suggestions?
I will send you a private message (departure from the envelope at the top on the right)

Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive
After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.
Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.
I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure
(1) if they are correct
(2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.Any advice?
Hello
I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.
(1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try
(2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.
But this is only possible if the windows started successfully
PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop. -
