Recent windows update incompatible with 8600GT driver
by Guest qwerfy- 2 replies
- 218 views
Hi! My PC was running fine until I installed some new vista updates on the 28th of Sept. The last update I did was on the 25th. I figured the problem was with the VISTA updates when I formatted my PC and installed the graphics card driver and everything was fine till I applied all the updates. Afterwhich pink checkered squares would appear. After uninstalling the driver and running on the standard vga adapter driver everything was fine again. Even uninstalling all the updates cannot solve the problem. I'm currently running my PC with all the updates minus the 8600GT driver. Below is my PC setup: AMD X2 6000 ASUS M2N32-SLI Delux WiFi edition 2Gb Ram 800MH…

Hi, I uninstalled Office 2003, all the files related to Office 2007. I installed Office 2007. 12 updates were to be installed, I accepted them and they are installed on my laptop. I checked the Windows Update panel and I noticed that the SP3 update for Office 2003 was shown in the panel " Historic of the installed updates, I noticed that the SP3 was listed, but when I checked in the panel " Installed updates", the SP3 update is not listed. What can I do or maybe is it normal? I got Microsoft Office Diagnostic run and I'm told that 2 versions of Office are on my laptop which is not true.

ATI Driver Update Results in Black Screen
by Guest sburklin- 5 replies
- 284 views
Hello. I believe this may be a known issue and I appologize if it's been asked numerous times before. I've only been able to find a handful of references and none of them seem to contain a solution. Anyhow, I have an Acer Travelmate 2451 that has the ATI Xpress 200m chipset. I recently upgraded my XP to Vista and had absolutely no issues with the install or any other updates the system has done. However, when I try to use the update feature to update my graphics drivers to the suggested Vista driver set, (I believe it's dated 1/26/2007) it results in a black screen that never clears. If I reset, I can go into safe mode perfectly fine, but any attempt to…

It has downloaded normally among other updates, but it seems to be the only one that will not install. I read thru some of the other posts to see if a similar problem has been rectified, but I only see items posted with which I myself have done, yet unsuccessfully. I did the command prompt, and my ose setting is on "Manual", so I tried again as instructed to install, but it still fails...what am I overlooking or not doing? -- Regards, Happy

Access is denied

Hello, I need some help. A short time ago, my computer was hit by a virus. It has 2 hard disks a WD 40GB and a WD 120GB. The 40GB was C and the 120GB was D. I had to format the C [40GB] and when it was all restored, I noted the C was the 120GB, and the D was 40GB. Oh well… The files on the 120GB were all saved, but when I try to access SOME of them I get access denied. I tried changing the owner to administrator, but still can’t access them. My disk has 70GB open. I’m running XP Pro SP2 and all the updates. These files, in this one and only one directory, were viewable before, but now, when I try to open one, I get the message: ‘No Pr…

I am trying to build a new 2003 Server - Enterprise Edition server. I would like ot access the new server from my Vista Ultimate workstation.

Problem with DirectX 9.0c
by Guest mcp6453- 1 reply
- 226 views
I have just done a complete (clean) rebuild of a machine using Windows 2000 Pro. Everything has gone perfectly except that after I download and install DirectX 9.0c, Windows Update still shows one option software update: DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime. After Review and install updates and a reboot, the option remains. The file is identified as downloaded. WU shows the update as being installed successfully. How can I complete the installation so that the option is not offered continually? I can turn off the notice, but that's not the best solution.

I've tried running the detect and repair in Outlook, no change. The update doesn't appear in the listing in 'Add and Remove programs' either I have downloaded it and installed it no end of times but it keeps on coming up to download and install. I'm going around in circles. How do I stop this update from coming up?

Hi, This Windows Defender update released today is failing to install automatically or through the Microsoft Update website. Last time this happened a few months back, installing manually solved the issue. However, I can't find the manual download link on the Microsoft website. Could someone please point me to where I can get the latest updates and the syntax to use in installing them? Thanks.
