After a reinstall of my Windows Vista operating system following breakdown two months ago, and after a lot of updating including Service Pack 1, I keep being asked to install/update Service Pack 1 in routine updates. I have done this ten times over recent weeks but still keeps asking me to add SP1. I can`t add SP2 until SP1 is properly included. What can I do??? George. View this thread

When I turn my computer on I never make it as far as launching Vista - I am told that "Configuring Updates: Stage 3 of 3" - 0% Complete. Do not turn off your computer. The update never updates - never goes past 0% Is there anything I can do to revert to the state before the "updates"? I don't have my Vista CD so I'm hoping for some help from the boot-up menu if possible. Many thanks in advance View this thread

Hello, am hoping that perhaps someone can help me...on shutdown my computer automatically installed Windows updates. Since then, after my computer has been on for a few minutes a blue screen appears with an error Page Fault in Non-Paged Area. I rebooted my computer, but the same thing happened again. Through googling I was able to find out how to system reset my computer to a previous point in time (two weeks ago). My computer worked fine, however, when I shut it down in then automatically updated and of course the same blue screen then started appearing. So I have now reset my computer to two weeks ago again and also changed the settings so that Windows "check…

I'm not sure if it was an update, but I've ran a virus scan and there's nothing coming up on that. Yesterday my computer started crashing frequently. I get the blue screen that says it needs to restart unexpectedly-I've sent in the crash reports but this morning in less than 2 hours it's happened 5 times. Any ideas? View this thread

My Application is setup on two webservers IIS 7.5 WS 2008 R2 SP1 and load is distributed by Load balancer. I'm getting issue after I installed the KB2743595 patch on web servers. Now if I stop anyone of web servers I'm not getting any issue but as soon as I start both IIS I'm getting errors in accessing the SVC. I'm generating the JS proxies in the script manager. I think the symptoms are similar to defined here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2740200 but when I try to get the fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2537715) this does not have a download option. Thanks in advance. Amitabh View this thread

On one of the computers I'm managing I'm still running Vista 32 bit. The system is up to date with all service packs and regular updates applied and generally is running OK. Now I know a very similar problem has been posted in this circle before, but I believe mine is not the same.Ever since the February 2013 patch Tuesday, which, by the way, was executed all right, I have a Windows Update icon in the system tray with a notification that no check for updates can take place. However, the only option it gives is to go to the control panel, WINDOWS update. There any updates are perfectly visible. I can also check for new updates, and I can install them. Also, the automatic…

I recently did a full system Restore of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Op System. Since then, Windows Update is not working. I ran Fix it KB 947821 which told me it had resolved Windows Update problems and no further problems were detected. I also downloaded the System Readiness Tool. I still cannot get Windows update to perform. I open Windows Update and the first screen I get is a yellow shield that tells me I "must first Install new Windows Update Software." "To check for updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" So I click "Install now"- I briefly see a pop up that says "Downloading & Installing updates" Then the Updates…

I have Windows Virtual PC installed in Windows 7 Pro, and I am testing it with Windows XP Mode before I use it for Ubuntu Linux. In testing, I have gone through the normal routine with Windows XP Mode, installing updates but after the initial activation of Windows Update, after which I installed Microsoft Update, the update screen freezes for 9 to 10 minutes at the message "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with the Website..." before it goes to the next screen, "Welcome to Microsoft Update". I have also noticed that, even though the downloading process seems normal, the installation process is unusually longer tha…

This download has been appearing for 2 weeks for installation and I download it. It NEVER installs and within 15 minutes, the microsoft update icon in bottom right corner shows up and AGAIN wants me to download the same Security Update [KB2799494]. I have tried everything to fix this according to forums, including microsoft. The STRANGEST part of this is that when I click to "view installed updates", NOTHING APPEARS.

I received an email with an attachment. When I attempted to download it, I got a message that I needed to install a Certificate in order to open the email. Because I know who the email came from, it is secure. When I tried to download the certificate, it sent me to DriverUpdate in which they asked me to pay circa $30.00 for. It stated I needed 17 updates which I can't believe. I just purchased Windows 8, why do I need to purchase driver updates? View this thread

I currently have laptop set to automatic download and installation of windows updates. Update KB2670838 causes system crash whenever Internet Explorer Version 9 is running. I restored the laptop to a previous date using system restore and again allowed the update to install again. Getting the same results as previous installation of the update. I uninstalled the update using Add/Remove programs and laptop seems stable. I have Win 7 Pro 64 bit edition Serv pack 1 on HP DV7 laptop I7 processor and 16GB ram. View this thread
