Can I uninstall old security updates and hotfixes to reclaim disk space?
by Guest yong321@yahoo.com- 4 replies
- 181 views
My "Add or Remove Programs" shows dozens of "Security Update for Windows XP (KBxxxxxx)" and many "Windows XP Hotfix xxx". I assume they correspond to the hidden folders $NtUninstallKBxxxxxx$ under c: \windows. Can I assume older windows updates are already included in newer ones and I can safely deinstall them from "Add or Remove Programs" to reclaim disk space? Thanks. Yong Huang

I'm having issues trying to install IE7 on WinXP SP2. The Windows Update downloads the file just fine, extracts the archive, but then causes a DRWatson error when it starts the installation. The Event View details are: Faulting application iesetup.exe, version 7.0.5730.13, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x6b463f5e.

Okay so I was installing a game to my Vista and when I go to play it I get this blue screen with a lot of text. I can roughly remember it telling me about Bio Memory and to change the shadow and the caching or whatever. And then it rebooted my computer. So I then have the thing search for the problem and it says that the problem is I don't have: Intel® G965 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM). It tells me use Windows Update to find it, I did that, and it isn't available and it isn't installed (I checked the list) how am i able to get this?

USR805417a Wireless PCI Adapter Issue
by Guest mxwalker- 7 replies
- 217 views
I currently use Vista Ultimate and have recently purchased a USR805417a Wireless PCI Adapter. All the documentation plus the USR website states that the drivers will load automatically under Vista. However, although Vista does indeed find the drivers, it always fails with the error 'File Not Found'. If I use the Windows Update website, it also fails with 'File Not Found' but this time I can identify a Microsoft Error Message - 80070002. As suggested on the Microsft support website, I have tried deleting the files in the Windows > SoftwareDistribution > DataStore and Downloads directories but the same error keeps appearing and the drivers fail to install. …

Windows Update keeps telling to install updates !
by Guest sbocquet- 0 replies

Hi, I've just done a fresh install of Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers, at different locations, and both have the same problems (both are not yet activated). 1 - Windows Update downloads the patchs (about 35), install them, reboot, continue the install... and when I check Windows Update again, the patchs are not installed. Then, when I shutdown the computers, Vista tries to install the patchs another time... ans so on. 2 - Perhaps a little off topic or linked... but I cannot download anything from IE7, directly or with the "Save as..." command menu. I've found that it could be the UAC of Vista that blocks it. I'm working in systems & net…
