Windows Update under XP Professional 64 bit icon has changed and does not work in the Start Menu

I didn't want to be informed of updates to two-day but inadvertently somehow I am struck back for all notifications.

Windows Update icon turned blue light with an i or an exclamation mark inside. When I click it, nothing happens. I can access the automatic updates in Control Panel to change the settings, but I still don't get the notifications.

How to make it all back please?

PS, I can always access updates through http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us , but I don't want to do that.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks Robear & Diana. I'll keep your suggestions for the future Win XP 64-bit installations. I just gritted my teeth bought & installed Windows 7 64-bit. Problem solved.

  • After the installation of Windows Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit system it does not appear in the start menu. How can I fix this so that I can run Windows XP in Windows Virtual PC?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on an Intel i7 2600 system with an ASUS P8P67 motherboard.  Intel virtualualization has been enabled in the bios.  Windows XP mode has been installed on the system and the operating system has been updated with Service Pack 1.  Windows Virtual PC has been downloaded and installed, but does not appear in the start menu in the programs list. Now download for Windows Virtual PC will not allow to install another, nor that the first installation can be uninstalled because it is not on the list of programs. Virtual PC folder of Windows in the Program Files x 86 folder has only a folder with two files integration components; IntegrationCompnents.iso and Precompact.iso.

    It should be in the menu... Virtual PC / XP Mode or something. I don't know, I don't use win7 atm

  • Windows Fax and Scan does not appear in the start menu

    : I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to (a) send faxes via a modem local fax and b scan docs from a local scanner. I mean, there should be a program Windows fax and scan shown in the start menu. I clicked all programs on the start menu, and it doesn't always show. Suggestions?

    From: Hal

    Fax and scan is available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, it is not available in any of the Windows Vista Home editions.  Since you have a version of Windows Vista Edition family, the only option of fax is a third-party product.  These products work under Windows Vista:

    Snappy Fax

    http://www.snappysoftware.com/

    RKSFax

    VentaFax

    I have seen reports that the free version of BVRP also works with Windows Vista:

    http://www.usr.com/BVRP/bvrp.asp

    BVRP PhoneTools

    Given the above comes with the new USR modem, I don't know if it will work with no - USR modems.  Alternatively, you can send faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E - Fax service:

    If you have the 32-bit version of Windows 7, you might be able to run it in compatibility mode.  If you have the 64-bit version, you would need something like XP Mode.  XP mode requires you to have the Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate version.  You can use the Anytime Upgrade If you are not one of these.  Graphics mode XP are not suitable for fast action games, but I get 1360 x 760 with 16 bit color, when I enlarge the window XP Mode.  It's good enough for most applications.

    Good luck.

  • Synaptics touchpad two fingers scrolling does not work in the player to develop modern UI application Windows 8.1

    I have a HP Envy TouchSmart UltraBook 4-1161er. Two fingers to scroll worked well in all modern user interface applications that come with the pre-installed operating system Windows 8.1, but the situation changed after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. Now this excellent and very useful two fingers scrolling does not work in the updated reader application. How to make it work?

    If the problem is in the drivers, maybe, install the drivers the latest may correct this?

    I tried to find the latest drivers for the touchpad Synptics in my ultrabook on the HP website, but it's the same old v16.5.3.3, I already have (published in may 2013). Synatics official site contains a link to the latest touchpad driver pack v17.0.19. Can I install it?

    I would try to install the Windows 8.1 (64-bit) driver Synaptics touchpad available in the download section of your sleekbook web support before using compatibility mode.  If the current driver does not work for you, try the earlier versions available .

    If you have no positive results, then use the compatibility mode (select Windows 8) on all three Windows 8.1 synaptics touchpad drivers, starting with the most recent.

    To use compatibility mode to install the driver just softpaq to the right, click on the file and choose troubleshoot compatibility. Select Windows 8 and run the installer.

  • Shortcut Ctrl C does not work in the main window of Firefox

    I use Firefox version 38.0.5, Windows 7
    Since the update Ctrl + C shortcut does not work in the main window of Firefox. (I can't copy text from any website using Ctrl + C).

    Click right and using the copy in the menu works perfectly. CTRL V and Ctrl X work fine without problem.

    Ctrl C works fine when copying text from the address bar and search bar, I just can't copy anything from anything in the main window of firefox.
    

    I tried to run Firefox in safe mode, I have also reset firefox and a virus scanner, but nothing has solved the problem.

    If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Thank you
