Just to make everyone aware, I recently downloaded and installed the KB2840159 update for Windows 7 Home Premium. The next time I started up, the system was slow and got stuck. When I restarted, the computer initiated Chkdsk. My screen was then filled with numerous "Replacing invalid security id with default security id" messages, and when Windows started, Explorer did not start. I got an error message "explorer.exe unable to start correctly. The application will now close. 0XC0000022" Tried numerous things, but the only thing that worked was a system restore from the point before this update was installed. I didn't know how to communicate this to Microsoft, so…

A Dell Optiplex 3010 PC was just shipped to me. It has 8 GB of RAM, a 1 TB hard drive, Windows 7 Professional and Office 2013 preinstalled. Dell refused to partition the disk. Can I safely do it using the Win 7 utility or is it too dangerous? Ideally, I want two primary 100 GB partitions one for Windows 7 and the other for a future Windows 8 install. Plus an 800 GB extended partition for all my data broken up into many 'drives'. Two experts have warned me not to try this. No reason given but surfing Internet seems to indicate there are unmovable files that will prevent shrinking the existing partition. What is the Microsoft answer? I found a page on Microsoft…

Hallo, Ich hatte vergessen meine Windows7 Version zu aktvieren und habe sie erst nach abgelaufener Zeit aktviert. Das Problem ist das sich das Windows Auto Update nicht mehr ausführen läßt. Ich habe schon Fix It probiert aber es hat keine Lösung des Problems gebracht. Wenn ich versuche Windows Updatz zu starten kommt die Meldung. Der Dienst wird nicht ausgeführt möglicherweise müßen sie neu starten. Wenn ich unter Verwaltung Dienste schaue steht der Start auf Automatisch und der Status ist gestartet. Gibt es eine Lösung? Würde ungern neuinstallieren . Grüße und Danke View this thread

Dear Microsoft, Do bear in mind I am 68 years old, have Rheumatoid Arthritis and that I did not have computers from grades 1 through my B.A. in History. What little I know about computers I have had to learn by rote, because computer language IS a foreign language to me. Many instructions I get for doing downloads and upgrades are gibberish to me. I have been a wargamer since 1950 when I was five. That's a full decade before metal-cast, historically accurate, military miniatures were available in the U.S.A. coming mostly from the U.K., but now from everywhere! Along comes computer technology and quickly RTS military strategy and tactical games are available a…

For the past few days i have been having issues with my laptop running super slow. It will let me log into my account but then if i try to open some thing e.g. &quotmy computer&quot it will take about half an hour to load then if i press anything it will just say &quotnot responding&quot its the same with any other program. It even takes about an hour just to let me press the restart button. I have tried using the troubleshooting tools but they have not helped. I'm not sure if its because of a windows update or a virus. Any suggestions would be great. View this thread

Noticed two updates ready for install on my ASUS RT this morning. The RT update went well, but the Office 2013 update failed. I opened the troubleshooter, which asked me to run as an administrator. I did that, the problem fixed answer came up and I attempted to reinstall. An update failure message came up and I ran the troubleshooter again. I rebooted, and then was able to install the Office update. However, this is now the only update showing on the update history, even when I click on show hidden updates....I've been vigilant in keeping current but am uncomfortable with being unable to access the full update history.
