I have a brand new computer, that came with Windows 7 installed. I have been unable to download Windows updates, or updates for other applications such as Office 2010. I've tried at different times for the last three weeks. I can review and select updates, but when I try to download, it just sits at 0% for hours on end. I had installed F-Secure, and thought this might be the source of the problem, but even when I unload F-Secure the problem persists. View this thread

I installed around 8 components in this morning's windows update, which included a graphics adapter WDDM1.1 and 1.2 for my specific video card. Games won't launch and DVD playback has the audio and video out of sync. Attempting to update the video drivers, and the manufacturers nVidia installer say's that it cannot detect that I have an nVidia video card installed! Exact error message: This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. I've cleared the windows update cache and redownloaded the graphics adapter a couple of times. Each time, after "successful install" no joy, AND when I rescan windows update the same graphics adapter comes up as an…

Hi,I have a McAfee site advisor add on tool that tell me whether a site is safe, dangerous or in the middle. I tried to install Microsoft Updates for my computer but it tells me that it has a virus or unwanted program in the download. I have never got this message before and it makes no sense since it is coming from the companies website that built this computer, especially to make it safer. What do I do? I tried calling the company and there is a strange noise coming from their line. I need these updates because my computer could shut down without them. View this thread

When Windows Update automatically updated my PC I noticed that KB2807986 wasn't checked so it didn't update automatically. I installed it after I noticed it wasn't included in the first batch when I checked to see what updates were installed. There were two important updates and I installed that one. A few hours after installation, when I was using Windows explorer to check for something, it stopped working and didn't give a reason why. Windows Explorer stopped working. It never did that before the update. Did that update or another update cause Windows explorer to stop working and should it be uninstalled? Also why wasn't the update checked and included in the first b…

The other 9 updates installed successfully, this one failed. I ran the update troubleshooter twice, it said it had fixed two problems but the update still failed to configure. It did not do the first 30% before restarting, like it normally does, but went straight to restart, then after restart failed at 3% and reverted. Is this a fault with the update or is there any action I need to take? View this thread

The PC in Question says there are no important updates available just two optional ones, the last updates were done on the 13th of last month (Feb 2013 ).I would have accepted that there were no updates as Vista is an old system now, BUT when I ask PC to check for updates there is a message on the result page saying "You have Never installed any updates for your computer" , the list of installed updates have vanished too.Are there any more recent Vista updates available?Where has the installed updates gone?Any help greatly appreciated View this thread
