Another error message I've been getting almost constantly since day before yesterday is 0x800ccc0e (Unable to connect to the server). I still can send/receive messages at times. I went out to the web site and the instructions there are for Outlook Express, I have Outlook. Step #4 tells you to change the information in the smpt. I talked with my ISP techies, they said I shouldn't change it. We checked all of my Outlook settings and they are OK. With them on the line with me, I decided to try changing I even tried changing my smpt just to see if it would work, I could not send messages at all then. We changed it back to they way they had me set…

Since I got the latest windows update, when right clicking items in the taskbar to get the context menu (and also some other context menus), the menu is completely invisible until I roll my over items in the menu, at which point they reappear. Everything was fine until my machine rebooted after receiving the latest update. (July 11th update) HELP! I'm going to have to roll back and swicth off auto updates if there sin't a fix for this.

KB928365: Beveiligingsupdate voor Microsoft .NET Framework versie 2.0 Dit wilt Windows XP niet installeren, terwijl het een atomatische update is. Zucht?? Weet iemand raad??

As recently reported by other users, I have the same problem on installing this Security Update, which is considered as important, into my home PC equipped with Windows Vista Home Basic (32 bits) through Windows Update automatically. My PC had been restarted in the process of updating but was shut down again. As a result, the Security Update could not be installed successfully. On the other hand, I tried to download this security update "Windows 6.0 - KB935807 - x86.msu" from the article KB935807 and had successfully installed as revealed by Windows Update. However, the automatic update alert of "Security Update for Windows Vista" (KB935807) cannot b…

It worked on me, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, first I deleted as much as I could in SOftwareDistribution folder, then I got error 80070003 and then Windows Help Files walked me easily on solving this, by stoping Windows Update services and deleting content on two specific folders.

The following message is for information purposes only. I went to Microsoft Security Bulletin for NET Framework Ver2.0- KB928365. The patch from Microsoft Update was not a correct one. The correct one is: 931212(Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-040). As for the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, its also incorrect in your Microsoft Update.

I reinstalled .Net Framework V1.1 and the SP1 over the existing files and the download worked with no problems. Perhaps this is the fix required.

Hi everyone, I know that many of you have been having terrible problems with updates of the recent Net Framework. This is what I did (after remembering what I did before when this occured---Oh yes it happened before) to fix the problem and it worked nicely. This worked on windows XP SP2 MCE (media center edition) I uninstalled ALL Net Framework software on the computer. Now when you do this, you may get error's upon rebooting after this uninstall due to some software depending on Net Framework. I clicked ok on this error msg's and they quite after a bit. Then go to updates and update starting from Net Framework 3.0 then 2.0 and then 1.0 and al…

Seems that there are 'issues' with the july patches. 2 machines done so far, problems with both. Machine 1 is XP home, machine 2 is XP Pro. The issue seems to be that for some reason, a restart is not enough. One machine froze when restarting, the other would not correctly reload the (Zone Labs) Firewall. In both cases, a power down followed by a cold boot seems to have got things working again. My guess is that there was something left in memory that confused things to the extent of screwing a program after the restart. There are times when I wonder about the validity of alllowing any machine to update from the web, in that all I seem to get recent…

Being in a stupid hurry, I didn't backup my files before installing the upgrade to Vista Ultimate. However, my hard drive still shows with regard to amount of hard drive used, that the files are still there somewhere, but WHERE? I'm frustrated at this point. Any help is appreciated.

I apologize for starting another thread, but since this covers several of the topics I'm condensing it to a new thread. First, I want to say THANX! to you all for preventing from reformatting tonight!!! Now I know it wasn't just my computer the updates screwed up again. I just spent two hours on the phone with Dell and their last suggestion was reformat. They weren't aware this problem was occurring. My wouldn't install the 5 updates either. I could install the .net 1.1, manually only, but as others have reported, .net 2 said a component was missing. I tried uninstalling and re-installing both several times. cleaning files and registry each time. Although …

Is it possible to transfer Group Policy (Win 2000 server) from one machine to another ?

I've been using NetChk Protect to install Windows patches for the past couple years on an XP machine, when they offered the service free to individuals. It installs multiple patches at once, reboots automatically when necessary, and avoids the WGA issue. Unfortunately, they're no longer free, and they're really set up to deal with Fortune 500-type companies. Anyone know of another service that might be more suited to an individual? Other than WindowsUpdate, of course. I'm now using a Vista PC. -- The most important tool of the scientist is the wastebasket. ....Albert Einstein

ok.. I'm trying to update my OS and when I come to the update page the only thing it will allow me to download is the genuine update tool. Fine. Do it. But the stupid thing won't install. It just downloads and fails. And then it won't give me any explaination of why. It says to check download history and click the failure (x) for more info.. but there is no failure (x).. it's a canceled (-). WTF. FIX THIS MICROSOFT.

They moved my call up to Full Service and did not charge. After an hour or so of their controlling my computer, I no longer have the installer icon on the taskbar for KN928366. Basically what he did was to uninstall all .Net Frameworks, I had 1.1 installed, with a utility the tech got off of a blog - similar to Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. He then went to Windows update and installed .NET frameworks 1.1, 2 and 3 all at the same time. It took about 9 min - cable modem. Rebooted a few times and the icon left. He then emtied my temp internet folders and all seems well. After 6 hours of dealing with this crap.
