  Whenever a time disconnecting message 'if please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installing Update 1 of 1 "...  How can this be eliminated?

  Change your Windows Update settings to NEVER.  Who will stop it immediately.  Then leave forever to keep it from MS to do what he wants.  You will then take the responsibility to do the Windows updates when they should be done once a month, a few days after the 2nd Tuesday.

  I advise my clients to refuse all updates in the WINDOWS which are not labelled SECURITY.

  Recently, I applied the latest service pack for the 32-bit version of Vista and have had frequent accidents of Internet Explorer. Today, he seems to have done an automatic update (that he did, and did often in the 3 years I've owned the computer). But he is frozen on the screen that says do not do "power off or unplug... installation update 1 of 1. It's a little scary, and I don't know what to do.

  I ran windows defender scan yesterday and the system was clean. Basic security hang after about 2/3 of green square were lit.

• Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

  Nice day

  I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

  I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

  Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
  I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

  I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

  Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

  Thanks in advance.

• Reinstalled windows (Vista Home Premium upgrade), will not let me activate

  I had to reformat/reinstall windows on my Vista Home premium computer, but now when I try to activate, I get an error indicating that the upgrade cannot be used for clean installation. That's fine, because I know that the activation of the phone will operate, but I can't find a phone number for the activation of the phone. When I do the slui.exe 4, he'll need just to options where it asks me to put in the code, then gives me just the error message. He will never give me the option for the offline or activation of the phone (I even tried to unplug my internet). I'm looking for a phone number to get it activated...

  The best thing for you to do is repeat the installation, this time as an upgrade of the current, ensuring that you enter the key on request the installation - it should then accept and activate normally.

• No printer Listed Port - can't get any printer to install on Windows Vista Home Premium - Please HELP!

  I was able to print to a Hp Officejet 4215 with no problems and a brother and then printer started to save as offline and would not print. Uninstalled all printers and tried to install a new HP Officejet 6310 printer. Ran the install disc included, but would get the message error, is went to the HP site and downloaded the driver, still received the error msg - Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. The specified port is unknown. and installation of the device software has no error. I went into control panel / Device Manager / USB controller group / and tried to uninstall - restarted the pc and still no luck. When I go to the control panel and try to install a printer, there is no port printer not listed and I can't add a new port.  I have connected the printer to another laptop running Windows Vista and recognized the new printer and installed the drivers and the impressions very well, but this laptop will not load the drivers. Help, please... Im a university student and desperately need to print!

  Hello

  All ports are used, and this is the reason why the installation goes through. We can uninstall these devices that are not in use and then try to reinstall the printer. Here's how:
  a. start, point to all programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
  b. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
  c. type the following command a command prompt and press ENTER:
  Start devmgmt.msc
  d. troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.
  NOTE: Click Show hidden devices on the view menu in device managers before you can see devices that are not connected to the computer.
  e. now navigate in imaging devices and then Device Manager expand it. Check if there are any devices that are not highlighted or blurred. Right-click on these devices and choose uninstall.
  f. repeat the same Universal Serial Bus controllers also.
  g. now try to install the printer.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista
