Hi I am using Windows 7 64bit. I have no service pack as Windows will not update. Through reading I believe this is due to the following problem (BITS is missing). Since a malware attack I have found BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) missing from my list of Services. On advice from many forums I have tried reinstalling it by entering the following command into cmd.exe sc create BITS binpath= "c:windowssystem32svchost.exe -k netsvcs" start= delayed-auto However I get the response message: [sC CreateService Failed 5: Access is denied. I am opening cmd.exe with "Run as Administrator". I have also ensured the adm…

Running XP 32-bit with SP3. Can't get Updates. I've tried manually and auto. Error message as in subject line ~ Website encountered a problem and cannot display the page. I've followed all advice in Community threads. I've run FixIt (WU): that always says One or more Windows components needs to be repaired, then says it's fixed. But no change. The issue seems to be that some default location where Update data are stored has changed. it does not say what this is, or where it's been changed to. I then try to see if I can get Updates. No luck. Run the FixIt again it says exactly the same thing as before ~ and that it's fixed again. Obviously not. Is there a simple patch or…

After an automatic update Word Starter, Excel Starter & MS Flight Simulator would not open. Restored to a date prior to AU & programs functioned normally. On shutdown AU occurred & problem recurred. Four different MS techs informed me "the update can't be the problem, you must have a virus. For $99 we can fix the problem". View this thread

I have Windows 7. It has been working well for several years. windows auto updates. Yesterday after an update, the screen went dark except a little screen in the top left that says setting up personalized settings for web platform customization. I have restored to previous versions and it looked like all was well then when it updated to the new Windows updates it went dark with the little screen. I did a restore from a back up and again it looked like it was going to work but after the updates the same thing again. I have read the forums and it appears that others have had this problem recently. There were no meaningful and useful responses from Microsoft that …

I am trying to install a HP wireless printer using Windows 8. I use the Add Printers feature, the printer is found, and then it asks me to select a driver. The exact printer is not listed in the model list, so I select the Windows update button to get more printer models. This hangs and never comes back. It worked on another WIndows 8 laptop where the model I wanted was in the list after the Windows update. Has anyone seen this and have a solution? View this thread

My system is updated to service pack 3. The system was working fine before I shut it down. I had originally turned it on to install a new security suite and and has been scanned and there is no viruses or malware that could be causing this.The two things I installed during that session were Kaspersky Internet Suite 2013 and Arcronis True Image Home 2012. In true image home, i installed the F11 key as a way to access that software in the event that windows would not start.I recently updated my xp pro system after nearly a year unplugged and it is stuck on update 25 of 69 for at least the last 12 hours. Should i just wait it out?What potential consequences could ensue i…
