by Guest mevans13- 0 replies
- 196 views
Hi, I am getting a C0000034 error when checking for updates with windows update. This is not related to SP1 install as that was installed a long time ago and there have been subsequent updates installed. The last successful update was on the 10th Nov 2011. I have tried various things to fix the issue including clearing the update cache but to no avail. The error below is what it shows in event viewer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fault bucket , type 0 Event Name: WindowsUpdateFailure Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: 7.5.7601.17514 P2: c0000034 P3: 00000000-0000-0000-000…

Swapped and lost Windows Activations
by Guest Bagpiper100- 0 replies
- 115 views
i have two laptops, both running W7. The Dell is running Home Premium and the HP is running W7 Ultimate. Originally when I bought the HP it had the copy of W7 Home Premium on it and I successfully installed that license on the Dell. My company then purchased a new copy of Ultimate as they required my computer to connect to their domain, which Home Premium couldn't do. I then upgraded the HP to W7 Ultimate and the domain stuff all worked like a charm. This was a while ago and (in normal Windows tradition) the OS on both machines requires a re-install to get rid of the redundant s/w that Windows accumulates. However it turns out that I have misplaced the bought copy o…

I used Microsoft Security Essentials to remove the trojan dropper from the system but now I don't have any internet access. An expert told me to use Avast! to clean my system because of it's powerful Boot Scan. Nothing was found. I have connections with my wireless laptop so it isn't the router. I have also updated the Wireless Adapter driver and no progress. Please help with this issue. I'm unsure how this got on my computer because I had Microsoft Security at the time. I suspect that it has dropped it's payload. The network driver is / was infected. Continue reading...

Windows Doesn't Boot
by Guest SageRuffin- 0 replies
- 120 views
(I think this is in the right part of the forums. My apologies if it is not.) Hello all. This problem is making me more frustrated by the minute and I hope that at least one of you can help me with this dilemma. Last night, Windows automatically updated onto my system - no problems there. Now, for some odd reason, whenever I try to boot my system up, everything proceeds as normal, then there's a very brief flash of blue screen before my system inexplicably resets. Now it seems to be in an endless loop of me trying to do a system restore - where I keep getting a "rstrui.exe - Application Error" message (the exact specifics are: "The instruction at 0xfc07ca53 referenc…

Keep me signed in!
by Guest sarasage- 0 replies
- 127 views
Your virtual agent doesn't understand my question. I don't have trouble logging in to web sites. My problem comes in the form of a question. After I sign in (On any site I go to) underneath is an option that says "Keep me signed in" yet even though I have checked the box, I still have to sign in. If it is not going to work, why not take it off. Otherwise fix it so it works. You even have it on your site. I feel it is a little misleading that you are going to do something that you really arn't going to do. I am the only one in this house that uses the computer. No brothers, sisters, cousins, grandchildren etc. Just little ole me. Can you explain this? Thank you ever so mu…

Hacker Alert: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
by Guest LoisKennedy- 0 replies

I have received a very official looking e-mail saying my hotmail.com account would be closed in 3 days if I didn't provide them with detailed information about my account, i.e. password. I fell for this the first time. It took me 4 weeks before I could get back into my hotmail.com account. During that time, all my e-mail was Forward. All my contacts received a notice to send $3,000. to Malayia. How embarressing! Now, someone is at work with a different e-mail address. MSN should block that very official looking E-Mail or warn every account about this hacking operation Continue reading...
