Windows Update auto-installed IE10 and on reboot I had a small window top left of screen showing the above message. This never cleared (even after 3 hours+) and eventually I had to boot in safe mode and do a restore. I know from threads in other forums I am not the only one to have seen this. Does anyone know the cause and the resolution? (I am running latest version of W7 Home Premium). Mike View this thread

I have just spent 2 weeks and $100 with MS technical support, through all levels! They were NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY: On 2 PCs i had IDENTICAL problems: Aero glass effects disappeared (MS fix-it says incompatible video card, GTX 590 signature) Calculator no longer works! Autocad 2010 or 2011 no longer function and crash immediately upon start! I had 2 PCs with the exact same issue i called MS and requested Support for a $100 fee. They informed me it MUST be a virus, as it is affecting 2 PCs that are on the same network and both have disimilar hardware and programs. After 4 days of virus searching, they decided i do not have a virus. After another…

When I check for updates Windows7 tells me I need to restart my computer. Every time I shutdown, it states I have two updates - it runs the updates, but still tells me I have two updates every time I shutdown. After restarting, I then check for updates again and it prompts me again to restart my computer. It just keeps going around in circles. I have run fixit many times - still get the same message. Please can anyone help View this thread

I've had a torrid time with Windows 7, I've lost the 2 DVD drives off explorer (since retrieved). I installed this so called operating system after the 3rd attempt on 16/02/2013 and have now found this error on updating. I've had to install about 50% of my drivers, of which some need of the windows update to operate, which I can't get because it ain't working. Hence I have a load of peripherals which may just as well be junk. This is since 26/03/2013. I've checked the log I've tried all the remedies that I've found here Anything else apart from a complete re-install, it'll take too long to go through all that again TIA View this thread
