• Is it possible to add updates to the Windows XP installation folder?

  Hello guys,.

  I think adding the new patches and critical updates and more in the recovery DVDs so I don't have to redownload and reinstall them again each time I have find my laptop (which happens more often the nature of my work).
  Any ideas?

  Install the OS, all updates and install your favorite software. After doing this get some professional application like Norton ghost and create your own recovery image. You can save this image on the second partition of HARD drive external HARD drive or even create own recovery DVD.

  You can also Google a bit. You may find a similar application for free.

• What is the difference between my "reinstallation DVD' and a 'Windows Vista Installation disk'

  In a thread on repair Vista (link below), "a real Windows Vista Installation disc" has been claimed. Laptop Dell Inspiron 1525, my wife took a Dell DVD "Reinstalling Windows Vista Home Premium 32 BIT SP1 - DVD".

  Are they equivalent?

  In general, yes your reinstall Dell drive is identical to a disc to install Windows genuine.

  The differences are not applicable for the repair procedure. (FYI - Toshiba and HP Vista, the disks cannot be used to perform a repair install, while gateway disks will work for Vista)

• Windows Update, error: "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed".

  Whenever I run windows update, and try to install an update for Vista, I get the error message"

  "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed"

  . This has happened for quite awhile and I tried many suggestions on the web. If you do an internet search, you will see this seems to be a fairly common problem, but I can't find any official solution of Microsoft. I am afraid that I do not receive the latest updates and security patches so would like to help with this question.

  Thank you

  Hi guys

  I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

  Thank you

• Is it possible to move the \windows\installer folder? The reason why I ask is because it takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another disk with more space.

  The \windows\installer folder takes a lot of space and I want to move it to another drive if possible. Ashwin

  No, I don't think. Just about anything in the Windows directory cannot be moved. You will need to find another way to clear disk space. Try to compress your drive hard (if you don't know how, ask).

  Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade. You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

  BTW, for your references, I found similar questions:

• My images folder has changed to a double D:? Help, please! -windows - 7

  Hey there. I have a new computer (asus x53u) laptop and am running windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit version. Service Pack1. Anyway, fairly new to windows 7 and new on a partitioned hard drive! Currently, all my documents/videos etc. were stored on the C: drive, the same as my operating system. I was changing the location of my pictures on the D: drive. I did it by going to start, by clicking on my name, right click on photo and clicking Properties. I then went to the place. (this method has worked for others, such as video) I then clicked on 'move', then 'computer', then 'storage D: D: – once opened, when I would normally choose the duplicate folder, I created, in this case 'images'. However I clicked the button 'Select folder', without actually selecting a folder first. : 0 (so what was the 'images' folder has now transformed into "Storage D:" - when I click Properties, it turns out that my hard drive!) It says "type: local drive, file system: NTFS"- and of course shows the pie scale. I tried to revert to the situation and move them to the folder images duplicate, I created for her. When I click on apply he asks me if I want to move all the files to the new location. I click Yes and then get an error message reading: cannot redirect parent down. The specified path is not valid. I also tried clicking 'restore the default' on the location tab, click on apply, when asked if I want to move the files to the new location I select Yes, then get an error message that says: failure of the list of regular subfolders under "D:\MSOCache" Acess is denied. (I am the administrator on this computer)... Thank you very much for your help and your expertise, I looked everywhere trying to find a solution! Best regards, Brendan

  Hello

  Some error messages I get are "host process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed" and "Windows Modules install Stopped Working and was closed."

  It didn't happen until three weeks ago, when I did a system restore.

  I searched the internet for a while now and can't find anything.

  Thanks I hope you can help,

  3. are you able to install updates on the computer?

  Windows Module installation service are the two basic services responsible for all your updates installed correctly.

If the Windows Installer of Module service is disabled, install or uninstall windows updates may fail.

  Check and make sure the installation Module of Windows service is running on the computer

  (a) click Start; in the start search type services.msc and press ENTER.

  (b) ensure that the installation of Module Windows Service is running and the startup type must be handwritten.

• Custom installation folder (LV 2009)

  I was instructed to build an installer from a customer for a base of existing code written in LV2009 (windows XP, Vista, 7).

  The code is not well written and a LOT of hard-coded paths.  I'm not paid to recode, and I would like to avoid that if possible.

  EXE must be located in c:\projects\FOLDER.  However, I can't get the installer to place anywhere but the standard Windows folders (office, Program files, etc.).

  I didn't have to do an installer this before (I always locate my exe in the PF record).

  Am I missing something?  I could have sworn that I've done this before.  I can find no Ko or forums about this, which seems strange (well that NEITHER research and find relevant results has been doing worse and worse)

• Ins work ' t Windows Modules Installer

  I tried to install Service pack 1, it failed due to an 0x800f0826 error.

  I discovered that the Windows Modules Installer, which is required for installation, appearently doesn't work.
  It is not listed in Control Panel > Administration > Services.

  I tried running sfc/scannow in cmd high, and it does not work.

  The TrustedInstaller file which is IS located in the maintenance folder in Windows, but I can't seem to run.

  I also tried to download a registry Fix TrustedInstaller, but it does not help. I tried this solution with PsTools and the file psexec - no difference.

  Also, I also tried to copy another TrustedInstaller in maintenance records, but that makes no difference either.

  I really need help here. Is it possible to get the installer of Modules of Windows to work? Download a new version of the installer of Modules if it is corrupted? My computer is not shipped with a CD/DVD of Vista, so I can't run a Vista repair.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.
