I am having trouble with the following updates:- KB2726535- KB2758857Both packages fail even after trying several times with the Windows Updater I tried to download and install both manual with a clean boot option (i know you will try and suggest it if i don't tell you i have already done it) both at the end say that this update has not been installed. I tried to fix this by using the System File Checker, but that tool couldn´t find anything wrong with the system. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. My PC is running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Pro.Thanks! View this thread

Updated windows 7 Pro 64 bit with K280149 today and it changed my network settings from Home to Public, needless to say I could no longer access any internet connections. Uninstalled K280149 and all is back to normal. I did this 3 times just to make sure the update was the culprit. I don't know what Microsoft is up to but it has to be deliberate, no writer can make such a mistake accidently or they would be fired on the spot. Dan@DBS View this thread

My computer just shut down while I was using it to do one of those wonderful auto updates that it does not even give me a warning to save my stuff. Once it started back up, I noticed right away my desktop background was missing. Also, internet explorer is gone. I searched the computer, and it is just no longer installed. I check my personal files, and noticed that my download folder is no longer accessible either. Firefox was still on my computer, but all of my saved links and saved passwords, totally gone as well. WTH Windows?? View this thread

I have many updates that are unsuccessful, pressed the FIXIT tab which tells me that the problem is solved and the next day its back again. When I turn the computer off it says installing 1 of 4, or 1 of 2 updates. But they are rarely installed. Any ideas ? Thank You. Ray. View this thread

On 3-15-13, we had a storm, and even tho I had a surge protector for some reason, it set my date one(1) year ahead to 3-15-14 which i did not notice in time, so when I started my pc, it had an installtion update, which was this: Security Update for Windows Vista (KB2807986) Well least to say, my pc was a little confused, because until I changed the actual date in the BIOS? It had still installed this update for the year 2014, so my pc and browsers would not work properly till I changed the date. But in the meantime, the correct installation of this certain update was never done.. So, I need help on what to do. How do I take off this update? Or do i leave it and ju…

I reinstalled IE8, after which Windows updates didn't work and I got 0x80070424 error. (XPHome SP3) I re installed SP3 but this didn't fix it. I tried the FIXIT suggested by David Vinod (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/updates-continue-to-pop-up-but-cannot-download-no/73ccc5a1-64c1-4ffe-90be-32e4c7c93bbd) but this didn't cure it. My last updates were in November 2012, nothing since. Any ideas how to resolve the problem? This fix Microsoft Fix it 50687 enabled me to download the updates but they wouldn't install. (BITS has re appeared under Services) Microsoft Update doesn't store my update history, so it re scans o…

Hi I have a very weired problem with my computer! It seems to be very slow when ever a windows update is available(before the download starts to sometime after it ends). It started off when I had windows 7 but carried on after I upgraded to windows 8. When my computer is running like it should it boots up in about 30 seconds and will respond to starting a program straight away. But when there is the problem the computer takes around 2 mins to start up and takes from 5 mins to 30 mins to start a program. I have recorded the dated for around 5 months( I upgraded to windows 8 in late 2012). These dates are: 27th - 28th November 2012 19th - 20th January 2013 5th, 1…

Hello After installing the early April 2013 Microsoft updates on my Vista Home Premium service pack 2 pc, it kept freezing and either rebooting or going to a blue screen saying unrecoverable hardware error. I system restored to prior the updates and my Norton 360 antiviurs software was in a mess. Norton support removed and reinstalled 360 and all was fine,. A couple of internet searches suggested this was a fairly widespread issue, so I continued to use the pc without the updates. I left it a week or so and intalled the updates again. Once again my pc froze and went to the blue screen. I system restored again, this time unchecking the Norton Tamper Protection b…

I've seen this same issue on plenty of forums, but people keep getting told to begin their own thread about their own problem so... here's mine:Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 IE version 10.0.9200.16540 (I don't use it, but other forums asked for version info) My issue is the same as the people View this thread

with the help of the Answer Desk Level 2, i just repaired my hp compaq presario pc, 512, 32 with windows vista home basic sp 2. while reinstalling MSE and its updates i froze up and upon reboot was able to change wupdates to let me chose which to install. as i know its only the beginning as only a handful did install initially, i want to determine which of the 130 important updates and subsequents are important to me to install. as i gained 4 GB in my C drive and wish to perserve as much as possible, i don't want to be forced to update things like the trial office i won't use. unfortuately they are not listed by date of release, they are mixed. How do i determine w…

Some time between 25th Nov. 2012 and 23rd Feb, 2013 my Optoma Digital Projector EX532 has stopped being able to find the source on any XP system. It works fine on Mac or Windows 7. I assume there has been an update that has altered something - maybe a driver. I have checked all settings and changed the VGA cord. Nothing. Except it does see the resolution of the laptop and then goes back to &quotno source found&quot. View this thread

I have been trying to see what updates my computer has been installing. It is a Dell N5030 running Windows 7 Home Premium. When i open the lid a message pops up in the notification area that says click to view updates that were installed, but as soon as I touch the keyboard or mouse that notification disappears.
