  Hello

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
  machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  Part of the problem is probably SpyBot which can greatly affect the peformance IE and Vista/Windows 7.

  Start - type in the search box-> find Services at top - click right on - RUN AS ADMIN

  Double-click Service SBSD and change it to MANUAL and STOP

  Then run SpyBot and in settings uncheck TeaTimer - close and restart.

  Now you can run SpyBot as a scanner at the request.

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  Then, run checkdisk - schedule it to run at next boot, then apply OK your way out, then restart.

• Error 0x8007045D when you try to install Windows Vista SP2

  Hello

  Currently I have Windows Vista SP1 and want to upgrade to service pack 2. When I try to do the update of Windows, I get "error (0x8007045d) Error_IO_DEVICE. I also tried to install it in safe mode, I get the same error message. After having traveled a bit on the internet, I found that it is probably because my HDD is damaged... so I run the chkdsk program...

  The chkdsk program stops at 16%... Step 4 of 5... When 85785 files off 300000something files are done... and it does nothing more. It keep running like this all night, it goes no further.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to successfully install Windows Vista SP2?

  Thanks for your help!

  OK, I started the computer with the Windows CD and I ran chkdsk /f at a command prompt.

  Chkdsk /f found errors it corrects.

  I ran Chkdsk/r... .he got stuck after scanning 85763 files... near the place, he would always get stuck (85785 files)... so I guess it's the same file that crashes chkdsk.

  The good news: I still have a functioning computer.

  The bad news is that I ran the SP2 from windows update in new safe mode and it didn't work... I'm still stuck with my problem.

  I have an extra hard drive... that I ordered from Dell for my girlfriend's computer, his computer died before she could use the player, but it is larger, then the drive of your computer and it is brand new... the only downside is that the player has been implemented for the computer of my girlfriend (pilots and other things) and does not work in my computer. I guess I'll try to format that drive to make it work in my computer... it should fix this and then bad SP2 remedial power very well.

  I guess I have no choice.

  I suggest to remove avg (uninstall) then try sfc/scannow then chkdsk /f several times. a few times, they need more going to make things more

  Microsoft security essentials is a better a v for not update couseing problems.

  You can allways put avg in the back.

  not having is not enouph to free space for temporary files can couse problems too.

  When I tried to get help via the MS support, I was told that my install Silverlight could be the problem and uninstall all previous versions and install a new one.
  The current version on my machine is 3. something or other (Google Chrome me briefly earlier, but I can't seem to tell me yet again!) He also pointed out that the current version is 5. something or other.  However, I don't know--according to the functionality of uninstall in Control Panel - my version was installed on 21/01/2010 - about 7 months after I got the satellite (a Toshiba). It occurs to me - as it has been ongoing for awhile I fought first to make this thing work and then ignore it (neither of which, it seems, I am able of!)-update Windows is trying to apply can be updated too!
  According to the update of Windows, all three of these updates have downloaded - but I am not sure where...   When I tried to uninstall the old version of Silverlight, Windows Uninstall (via Control Panel) tells me that I need the Silverlight installation disc to go ahead. I've never had one! What can I do? Why these upgrades do not work? It has been for months!  Help, please.

• "Not enough space" error windows install during the installation of Windows vista SP2 software

  Original title - cannot install Windows Installer 3.1 on Windows Vista Home Edition

  I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. The interesting thing is that I return this software a year and I installed it on vista and it worked fine. Now I have re-installed windows vista on my computer and had updated. Now this problem. Could there be a reason why some update to windows vista, I installed now wasn't there last year that causes the problem. Can anyone help.

  Hi tbilal22

  
  Windows Installer 4.5 comes pre-installed with Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1. Please refer to the article for more information-

  It is possible that the old software, it is not compatible to be used with Windows Vista SP2. I suggest you try software installation by using the Windows Vista or XP on Windows Vists SP2 compatibility mode and check if you are able to solve the problem.

  Compatibility mode is used if a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work properly. Then, you can use the program compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility of the program settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab

  You can check the link for assistance on compatibility mode - mentioned below

  I hope this helps.
