I have just carried out a clean install on Vista and have run Windows Update and installed all updates offered. However, after 3 days I have still not received an offer of SP1. I am reluctant to download the large stand-alone version as a) Ms website states this should not be used for a single computer download but Windows Update is the correct route to take b) others on this forum seem to have been offered SP1 automatically on Windows Update as recently as 3 months ago, even though Ms support ceased in 2011 and c) apparently, the download of the stand-alone version may not work if I have still not received all the pre-requisite updates from Windows Update. My ques…

I have a new harddisk and have had to reinstall the operation system Windows Vista Home Premium 32BIT from 2008. After installation I updated the machine with over 130 updates from Windows Update (2008-2013 critical upates etc..). Now Windows Update tells me to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1. I follow the instructions and hit install. After 1 second I am told that Windows Vista SP1 was sucessfully installed. When refreshing Windows Update is AGAIN asking me to install SP1. Clearly it was not installed the first time even if it said so. I have tried to download the standalone version of SP1. When i try to run this, it also does not want to run! Question 1: Why a…

Hi, How do we disable Windows Critical Update? I am having a big pain with regards to this so called &quotcritical&quot freaking update. There are a few things that makes me feel irate whenever there is this uninformed stupid update, and they can be listed as below: 1. Jams my keyboard buffers. If I hold down a key too long the whole laptop will just go freezing with some noise coming out from the speaker. Once it release the key it went back to normal. 2. Files directory changed. Not one but a lot. The shortcuts i have no longer works, as they report file missing and stuffs. 3. Internet connection issue. This one caused me deep **** everytime, especially when I…

Windows couldn't check for updates automatically, not since December 2012. Am afraid to do the clean boot for fear of losing any system restore point. When check for windows update it gives me the dreaded 800F080D. Automatic updates are turned on. I have heard of the dll addresses being messed up, that may be my case, not sure. You can't call anyone to walk you through anything anymore... sort of scared to do it myself. I ran the sfc/scannow didn't find anything wrong. Ran a Microsoft Fixit and it couldn't find anything. I ran something else (can't remember what) and it said: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Searc…

Windows update and now computer won't turn on as it is coming up with the message fatal error c0000034 applying update operation. I have looked into this on the Internet and it says to put the windows disk in. The only problem is I think windows 7 came with the acer laptop or we bought a product key meaning that we do not have the disk. View this thread

I had to resinstall XP operating system to "out of box state", wiping the hard drive clean. In the past I have done this and was able to activate the updates either by shutting down the system, and/or selecting "express updates". This time "express updates" after checking returns a message that the "...page cannot be displayed.. This happens whether I go to "tools" and scroll down to "window update", or whether I select update in the security center window. I know I have updates to install since this machine is over ten years old, and the last time I successfuly did this was a little over a year ago. ' View this thread

When I try to update Windows I get the error that the page could not be displayed with error code 0x80244004. I'm running XP SP3. Fresh install many years ago. NOT running Eset and never have. Have been running Avast. As an experiment I uninstalled Avast and tried update without any AV but still had problem. Virus scans with Avast, Malwarebytes and TDSSKiller all come up clean. System may have had a rootkit some time ago that was cleaned. Proxy was checked using both IE options and proxycfg, no proxy. I don't know exactly when the problem started since I use this computer mainly for file strage and backup and I don't check it that often. Java version installed …

I have the laptop: "HA8-123K"which had Windows 8 installed. I always see the Action Center flag at the bottom right of the screen always notifying me run "Automatic Maintenance." I run it and it slows down my laptop to near non responsive with programs, and internet. So I open task manager, and "System" uses from 1 MB/s to 37 MB/s and it jumps from 99% of the Disk to 100%. I'm confused to the fact that sometimes it could be 1 MB/s and be 99 to 100% and have the same results at 30 to 40 MB/s. That's the only program above 1 MB/s, and there's only 3 that has it in decimal form. I read someone-elses question similar and I noticed we both have CCleaner. Could this be the ca…
