Hi. I'm running Windows Vista Service Pack 2, 32-bit OS. For the past few days, Windows Update has been telling me that I have Important update: Security Update for Windows Vista (KB2799494) and Optional update: Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.145.1925.0). I've installed them, restarted my computer, and not moments later, do I see the Available Updates icon appear and the same updates are there again. I've tried installing them one at a time and restarting before going onto the next one, but they are still appearing. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix this? Much Obliged!

I just got a new Laptop today (Acer) with windows 8. This afternoon I set it all up, installed it. Followed the instructions on screen, like anyone would. I've used it already... Installed basic programs I need. Then when I had to leave for a bit, I turned the computer off and the " Preparing To Configure Windows. Please Do Not Turn Off Your Computer" message came on. So I left it like that.. I moved my computer to another location (I did close the lid while moving it, but that does not count as turning off does it?) and left it (with the lid open) plugged in. I figured it would shut down on it's own. When I came home and wanted to turn it on, on the screen it said "D…

I get the &quotFiles required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer&quot error. After chasing all over the internet for the last 6 days looking up various errors, the consensus is to re-register MSXML3.Dll. However, this fails with &quotDllRegisterServer in msxml3.dll failed&quot, whether I do it as administrator or not. The problem may be that MSXML 3.0 is not installed apparently (not in Add or Delete programs list). Whether it was installed and somehow got deleted, I have no idea. Previously, I was having update problems with .net fixes, so (with great difficulty) I deleted and re-installed the .net frameworks. T…

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium edition. On Wednesday night, as I shut down my computer - it installed some updates (I think there were 6 but not sure which ones). When I turned the computer on on Thursday, it got to the "preparing to configure windows" screen with the little blue circle spinning to show it's loading but then it never went any further. An hour later I came back and still the same thing. I've rebooted it several times. Put it into safe mode (which loads fine). Tried using the windows repair tool, used the "fix problems with windows update" option from the control panel however it just says it wasn't able to automatically fix the issues and when listing …

It will not boot up. If i let it boot to windows, it gets to the intial win 7 banner, then restarts and goes to Launch Startup repair. Once I select repair, it loads files then hangs up on a dark screen with a white mouse pointer. The mouse is moveable but the screen is just blank with nothing to click on. I tried a recovery disk, it does the same thing. Also once on the blank screen, normal shut down or restart options do not work, I have to unplug power and battery to shut down. View this thread

My laptop was running very strangely yesterday so I powered it off and to my surprised, it shows it is running update 11 of 11 and do not power it off. It has been running or has shown this message since 5PM yesterday and it still on my screen. I have no way of telling what it is doing. This is unacceptable and will have to turn updates off going forward. I cannot miss a day of work because updates take this long. What do I do? View this thread
