Following Windows update KB2807986 (unusually, a single update on 22/3/2013) my Internet connectivity keeps dropping out and then reconnecting intermittently..........very bothersome, does anyone have a fix/answer please? I am running IE9 and WIN7 64-bit SP1 and have temporarily uninstalled this update for the moment. View this thread

Here is the situation: 1) I have an shortcut icon for "go to my pc" on my desktop. I have always been able to click this and get my log-in screen (I use Gotomypc daily for work). 2) recently my Windows Updates upgraded my IE 9 to IE 10 without asking to telling me. I didn't like it and it wasn't compatible with my printer, so I came here, found out how to get rid of the upgrade and re-download the previous version. 3) I wanted to avoid letting Windows upgrade me again, so I fiddled around so that Windows would have to ask me before it upgraded again. I don't really know what I was doing, I was just trying my best. I am not really all that tech savvy. 4) Now every t…

I am using IE9 and Chrome 25.0 on an up-to-date Window 7 PC with Service Pack 1. I use Microsoft Essentials for anti virus protection. Several weeks ago I started having difficulties viewing web pages particularly where video images were displayed. The problem seems to be limited to IE9 and Chrome but does not seem to affect Firefox. I attempted to install IE10 but the update consistently fails with an error code 80200053. I’ve also seen that error code when trying to install a new graphics card driver. When I run SFC /scannow trying to find corrupted system files nothing is found and when I try to run the MS Fixit program it either doesn’t find a pr…

Every single Windows 8 update since December 22, 2012 has failed to update. I go into control panel and check for updates and it lists multiple 30+ updates that are needed.

Hi there! I recently installed Norton 360 and I am having trouble starting up the Base Filtering Engine service in order to fix a Norton error. Everytime I try to start the BFE service, it displays "Error 5: Access is denied". I am logged in as Administrator but still no luck. Can you help me fix this problem? I also want to give you a bit more background info, it might help determine the problem. When I got the computer, it had the McAfee protection program preinstalled. It was activated but the time expired. I recently got a virus, (a variation of the FBI Moneypak virus), but I did a system restore, uninstalled McAfee, and installed the Norton 360. It removed the …

Whenever I try to install KB2756872 the installation fails and the update is removed. Other updates applied at the same time also fail and are removed. KB2771431 is already applied.In order to allow other updates to go ahead I hid KB2756872. However, soon I found that other updates were failing- not all of them, but I presume some updates are dependent on KB2756872. So now these other updates fail, even when applied "solo": KB2809289, KB2742614, and KB2812822. I have managed to apply quite a few others, by applying them solo one by one.My antivirus is Windows Defender. My machine is a 2-month-old laptop on which the only applications are ones that I have applied one by o…
