    I tried insanely to corect this error. I don't even want to go into all that I tried. However, nothing helped until I came across this. Thank you so much. When I think of the brain cells I fried and the wasted time on other fixes, well let's just leave it at thank you foir ending my frustration. This should be reposted as one of the fixes to try when this error occurs on the windowupdate page. Thanks again! -- r/Joe "Taurarian" wrote: > 0x80092026 = Crypt_E_Security_Settings > The cryptographic operation failed due to a local security option setting > > > http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/0x80092026.htm > Error 0x80092026: The cr…

    Has anyone experienced Windows Server 2008 Server Manager and ServerManagerCMD hanging when checking roles. The server itself is performing normally. There are no obvious errors in the event log and I have UAC disabled. If you have, did you resolve the issue? Best regards, Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS

    Just upgraded my server to 2003. All has gone well but I'm having trouble insstalling programs. Two examples are pcanyware (11.5) and AVG file server edition. AVG gets as far as asking what version you want installing, there is a pop up window that appears for about half a second (don't know what it says as there isn't time to read it) and then nothing happens. PCanywhere starts installation then rolls back saying that setup was interuppted. I've enabled active content from cds and tried turning off the web Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (first off completely then just off for the administrator group) but this just stopped ie bro…

    I upgraded my sister's PC with a new motherboard, processor and hard drive (SATA). I was able to use Western Digital’s tools to transfer files from the old IDE to the new SATA. I ran into a slight snag and had to call & reactivate Windows (twice) after the new motherboard & drivers were installed. After Windows was happy, I applied all patches which included SP3. PROBLEM: Office and Adobe icons have converted to the default icon. When I try to use one of these applications, Windows Installer (version 3.1) pops up and tries to install. Any attempt to install or uninstall results in an error message saying "This patch package could not be op…

    If your plan is to strong-arm customers into offering your products exclusively, you had better give them something people want to buy. With Microsoft and Windows Vista, such is not the case, and Hewlett-Packard isn't taking it lying down. HP, the world's number one PC supplier in terms of volume sales, appears to be leading a new anti-Vista revolution, of a sort. In an interesting article yesterday in BusinessWeek, Aaron Ricadela reports about "HP's 'End Run' Around Windows <http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/sep2008/tc2008095_077474.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index+-+temp_news+%2B+analysis>," and what a team inside the company is doi…

    Hi, Got the same problem. Here is how I fixed it: Right click on the desktop click on"Window color and appearance" in Color Scheme list select "Windows Aero" and Apply This should sort out the issue Quote: When I first went to this window the first thing it showed was the colors I could use and the Aero option, and then you could go into more personalize setting.. Now when I go there the first screen does not come up.. just the appearance settings window -- bvalantin Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

    I have Windows Vista Business running on my Toshiba Laptop. I imported my Google Calendar into the Vista Windows Calendar using the subscribe button (the only way that would work for me). Now the calendar is "read only" and I cannot edit any appointments or add any new appointments. Anyone know how I can fix this and stop the subscription? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello, My Vista Home Premium 32-bit PC recently stopped running the windows experience assessment. It runs through all the tests then ends with a dialogue box that says: "Cannot complete assessment." "The assessment or other operation did not complete successfully. This is due to an error being reported from the operating system, driver, or other component." I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both my video and sound drivers. I tried driver sweeper and driver cleaner pro. My videocard and soundcard both work perfectly yet I cannot get the assessment to complete. I also read many registry changes to no avail, as well as multiple methods o…

    Hi Over the last couple of days I have had an extra user account appear everytime I start the computer up each day called IUser_Admin. No matter what I try it still keeps reappearing!! I keep deleting the account but it still keeps coming back! I have run my antivirus/spyware software which removed some infections but still it persists. Have tried Ad-Aware which cleaned it too, have also tried running antivirus etc in safe mode and have done the Windows One Care online scanner. Any other suggestions?

    Hi folks, I have disabled Vista's Aero to speed up my system but yesterday I accidentally hit a combination of keys when alt-tabbing through my open windows and the Aero thing briefly kicked in where I could see all my open windows in the 3d style stack. But now I can't replicate that same combination and was wondering if it's a known thing that someone can share because that was the one aspect of Aero that I actually found useful. In its absence till now I've been using a freeware app called Freewheel that allows me to scroll back and forth through my open windows using my mouse's scroll wheel. I'd uninstall it if I could figure out how to turn on the Aero th…
