Windows Update stopped working after the reactivation of Vista Ultimate 32 bit

Cloned hard drive bigger and replaced hard drive in your laptop. Everything worked fine until I was invited to reactivate Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit), I did over the phone. Now, Windows Update does not work - service is not active. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions to fix would be appreciated. Ran Malewarebytes, Turned off update automatic and then restarted (suggested in a forum), and tried to fix with installation disc, none of them worked again.

Five other updates have been installed with Windows Update Standalone install (an is not necessary for my system). This a better option than update mode without failure. Windows Update works now again.

  • Windows Defender stop working after the malicious software removal tool

    I ran windows software and after this removal tool, my windows Defender stopped working says its turned off, but when I try to turn it on nothing happens

    This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

    You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running.

    If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:

    Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
    =================================
    1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

    Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
    ========================
    1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.

    2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:

    regsvr32 atl.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 softpub.dll
    regsvr32 mssip32.dll

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.

    If the problem persists, please after return.

  • WLAN stopped working - Satellite X 200/N00, Vista Ultimate 32-bit (SP1)

    When I bought this laptop earlier this year, everything worked fine without any significant problems. A few weeks ago but my WLAN connection has stopped working - more specifically, it does not get a valid IP address of the router.

    Laptop is a Satellite X 200/N00 (PSPBUA). OS is Vista 32 - bit Ultimate edition (SP1).

    It was working fine until the point where it stopped working. The router itself still works fine - I used the connection with a completely different laptop wireless since having the problem on the Toshiba.

    This seems to be a fairly common problem of Vista, but so far all that I tried did not get me anywhere.

    The router is a D-Link DSL-G604T. I've updated to the latest version of the firmware, but it made no difference.

    In Vista, I have disabled IP v6.

    I installed the latest version of the Intel (v12.1.2.1) wireless driver. Material passes all tests, the only thing that fails is to get the IP address.

    I don't know why the wireless connection just stopped working - better that I myself can remember, I had not installed any new software or updates just before stopping work. It doesn't seem to be a hardware failure.

    One thing I've yet done, is test the connection with a completely different wireless router (for example, to a public access point).
    It may be interesting, but I have not really useful, since I need to make it work with the router!

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    There are several reasons why the IP address cannot be obtained.
    In the first case, you should check if your firewall is disabled or doesn t prevent IP address of reception.
    Second, you should check if the TCP/IP protocol is set to automatic
    You can find these settings in the properties of TCP\IP Protocol.

    Last but not least, I would recommend disable all security settings on the router and tries to establish a WLan connection.
    Please check if the Mac address filtering has been disabled, disable WLan encryption and check if the right SSID is being used.

    If it will be possible to establish the WiFi connection you could activate step by step single WLan security on the router settings.

    Good bye

  • Windows Update stopped working.

    I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7 SP1 installed on my laptop [Dell Studio 1747 with processor i7 4 GB RAM & 750 GB hard drive.  Windows Update stopped working on my machine.  All updates through April 19, 2016 have been installed.  I already did the following:

    (1) installed the previous images dating back to several months

    (2) only run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to get error # 0 x 80070005 several times

    (3) race reset Win Update.bat unsuccessfully

    (4) run MicrosoftEasyFix20179.mini.diagcab without success

    (5) I tried install subinacl.msi and runs the recommended Reset.cmd file

    (6) installed WindowsUpdateAgent-7, 6 - x 64 .exe

    All the latter were applied as suggested on the Microsoft Support Website.  None of these maneuvers in addition to the various applications of my antiviral software and malware, brought any resolution of the problem.  I would appreciate any suggestion short of a new facility, because I can't seem to find anywhere, all the new boards.

    I don't know what worked, but Windows Update started to update itself again.  What I don't have, though, was to limit the number of updates, I got the update at some point, less than 30.  I read a post at one point noted that a large number of updates may increase the risk of errors of download and installation.  I had some mistakes on the first download, but those corrected when I download tracking the rest of the updates.  I do not wish that Microsoft would create a repair or update protocol independent site, because it seems that this is not an uncommon problem.

  • Windows Explorer stops working after that I have to use Windows Update

    Currently, using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit service pack 1. After that I restarted the computer to finish the update/install Windows I can't use the functions from the Start button. Any attempt also runs programs through the Task Manager is met even uselessness. I gives me the error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and restarts. However, all program shortcuts that I have on the desktop can be used.

    The only way to solve the problem for me is to use the system restore to take me to a previous time when I didn't have the problem. However if I try to update by using windows update I experience the problem again.

    Im trying to download update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 64

    Hi Josh, I had the same problem with Windows Explorer on a HP Vista Home Edition 64-bit computer, it would keep restart loop and stops also all the programs in the taskbar.

    I searched different forums and I tried different options, but nothing worked until someone said it might be a virus. I have Norton but it does not detect anything, so I tried Defender of Windows (that I had turned off because I had Norton) of Windows Defender found this startup program called mwau.exe to rest under C:\recycler\(random numbers...) but when I open the C: drive, I couldn't find anything manually, but there is no option to delete or disable it through Windows Defender.

    Then I Googled that name and found a software called free Antivirus "Malwarebytes anti-malware 1.41 ' recommended by CNET download.com, it's a small program, but I downloaded and ran, it found and removed this mwau.exe, I have not had problems with Windows Explorer after that, apparently mwau.exe means (I think) auto update for Microsoft Windows.» But after its removal, I have more problems. My updates of Windows runs as usual and I get new updates as usual, but this muau.exe was probably evil viruses do.

    Here is the download free link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    In addition, when you click on download the exe file name is mbam-setup

    Good luck. See you soon.

  • DNS stopped working after the latest Vista updates

    Yesterday my Vista Home Premium has been updated by Microsoft through the automatic update process. After the update and reboot network stopped working. I was able to trace this DNS no longer works. I was unable to solve the problem until I supported updates, after which the system returns to normal operation.

    Now, of course, updates want to be reinstalled, but I don't want the network to fail again. Any ideas?

Only advanced users should use this option.
