  1. I unistalled the NVIDIA updates for 3.22.13 that were done on that day. I did this yesterday, March 27, 2013. Then my computer display was eschewed. So, I set a RESTORE point, yesterday, to 3.22.13. This is the message I got: PROGRAMS MAY BE DELETED: NVIDIA (Display) 01/18/2013 9.18.13. 1106 Driver Windows Explorer 10 (Kb2718695) Microsoft Windows English Spelling Package (KB2764916) Microsoft English Hyphenation Package (KB27...

The only NVIDIA that didn't reinstall as far as I can tell is NVIDIA (USB 2/29/2012 6.14.129610 Driver and all the Security Updates for package Windows Updates. So, do I wait to see if these are all on a future Windows Update? Please advise. Also not good with technical explanations. Please be rote. Regards, View this thread
  2. I have an Epson Workforce 500 multifunction printer, scanner, copier, fax, which has worked fine in the past, but the scanner is no longer working. I have tried several times, following all the online (and by phone with a tech from Epson) instructions on downloading and installing the updated printer and scanner drivers from Epson. However, the installation always stops, and the message that the drivers cannot be installed appears (and then the message to reboot and try again appears). I have been able to get the printer to work by reconnecting the USB cable to the printer and allowing Windows to install the ESC/P-R driver, but the scanner doesn't work, and I don't have all the other features of the printer available. When I try to get the latest driver via Printer Preferences ,I get the message that I already have the latest driver installed. Most recently, I used the Epson Troubleshooting Guide, up to the point at which it says: "Click or Start, and select Programs or All Programs. Select Epson or Epson Printers, select your printer's folder, then select Epson Printer Software Uninstall." When I do that, the program menu from the start button does not have the Epson printer listed, nor does it show the option of uninstalling the printer. In addition, when I go to the Control Panel, to Uninstall a program, the Epson printer is not listed as an installed printer. I tried one more time to install the driver package downloaded from the Epson site, and again, got the message that the drivers could not be installed. Then I used Window Update to install all available Windows 7 updates, removed the Epson printer, reconnected the USB cable, and rebooted the computer. Again, Windows installed the ESC/P-R driver, which it says is the latest available. I will give up and just not use the scanner if I can't get this resolved. View the thread
  3. My other Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) computer has only 512 MB of RAM and Windows Update always fails to check for updates with error 8007000E. That machine has Microsoft Security Essentials Prerelease and it never installs new definitions because of a "network or connectivity problem". Every single Microsoft security application should update without Windows Update. There are infections that can corrupt/disable Windows Update. View this thread
  4. Hi I am getting the above error when using Windows Update and am also unable to install updates for other software like Adobe Reader, Flash or Java. I have tried the Fix It tool, and the System Update Readiness Tool, to no effect. I suspect it may be to do with a virus as there was one on the computer a while ago but the problem actually started when I uninstalled some bits of free trial software that the computer came with, possibly including an antivirus trial. I suspect the answer may be similar to here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/error-code-8007370b-and-8007371c/a80cc923-1fd5-47f5-a79d-bcc7cc17f684 and a system format is required, however that is a different version of Windows, so am unsure if this information still applies. Many thanks for reading View this thread
  5. This is directed to the kind person who sent me a series of questions regarding my install loop problem. 1a. Purchased early part of 2010. 1b. Windows 7 came preinstalled (Dell computer without backup disks). 2. I installed Avast (free version) in mid-2012. 3, 4a, 4b. McAffee free trial came preinstalled. I had a current license for Norton, however, and installed that without uninstalling the McAffee free trial. I successfully uninstalled (according to Windows) the Norton when the subscription expired in 2012 and installed the Avast. Not sure exactly when I uninstalled the McAffee free trial, but it is no longer in my programs. 5. All listed updates have been installed except KB2809289. 6. I uninstalled Java when I read of the security issues and have not installed Java 7......is it safe? 7. Yes 8. Yes I have Chrome installed and mostly use that rather than IE (it seems faster and more intuitive to me, just my opinion) I am not in the habit of using registry cleaners. I did, once use PCDoctor or some similar program, but when it wanted to change my registry I refused........wasn't familiar with the product and didn't know if it was safe. Hope you can help me with my loop problem which is still ongoing. View this thread
  6. An automatic update was installed onto my Windows 8 system this morning. Now when I try to sign in none of the controls are functional. I can't get past the sign in page. I've tried repairing from install disk and I've tried a restore, but neither worked. I'm trying to avoid wiping and reinstalling. Any suggestions. An update should not be this invasive.

  7. Hi, Lately I have a problem with my vista sp2. The correct time is 29 March 2013 12:23 AM. Yet if I shut down vista for an hour or more, when I reboot the PC the system time strangely changes into 11 march 12:00 PM. I reset it back to the correct time, yet if I shut it down, it will change again to another time, says 2 agusts 2013 11:00 pm, and so on. I if shut it down, and reboot it after a couple minutes, the time remains correct. MSE full scan finds nothing. I am baffled, can anyone help me?! Thanks View this thread

  13. We are deploying the Surface Pro across our organization. During the pilot we noticed that some of our software requires .Net3.5 to function. Each time the system tries to install .Net3.5 via the internet (windows update) we receive error code 0x800F0906. Our research has revealed a work around using cmd prompt and DISM /Online /Enable-Features /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:d:sourcessxs Our issue is that we did not volume purchase the tablets for the pilot and have no Windows 8 installation disc. Our testing has gone very well but the President is using one and if we cannot resolve the issue it could derail the entire project. View this thread
