My Microsoft security essentials says it's updated but it actually is not.
My MSE always says it is updated but then it catches a virus and I research that virus only to be told that my MSE is not updated to the latest version. The information given on this latest virus says it is was discovered a month ago so this gives me the impression that my MSE has not been updating automatically for that whole month?? If I manually update my definitions and spyware so far I can do this once a day or more and new definitions are always found. Isn't it supposed to be done automatically? Thank you for your help to figure this out. View this thread

Vista - Windows Update doesn't!
Vista: all updates download and all updates fail installation and configuration. Ran Fix It, checked firewalls, nothing works. In the last week I have spent close to 20 hours on this, downloaded many gigs of data, hundreds of updates which have all failed. Each update failure has a different error code, so it's all but impossible to invest who knows how many hours researching each individual failure. This is my sister's laptop that I "volunteered" to help with, and as far as I can tell there has been only a few updates that actually installed successfully since she bought it just about 3 years ago. How do I repair Windows Update for her? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dave View this thread

Post Win7 Pro - Win8 Pro upgrade - Device Manager hangs at scan
Win8 Pro system whereby Device Manager (DM) hangs after invoking a scan for new hardware. The scan never completes and I cannot close Device Manager except by force via Task Manager. This system was in-place upgraded from Win7-Win8 a couple of days ago and after the Win8 desktop first came up I checked Device Manager and was able to perform the scan. The missing/incorrect driver I had to deal with was for my wireless device. Windows Update did not install a driver for it when invoked via the drivers tab on the device object. After downloading the latest driver from Acer for this laptop I attempted to install it however, that didn't go so smooth. The installer hung at the very end and so nothing actually completed. I had to shut down/restart the system and now am in the state whereby the Device Manager now hangs too. Ideas? ...while I'm waiting for replies I'm going to try a System Restore point if any exists and see if I can get back to where at least the DM can scan for new hardware.

Windows 8 booting loop
I was playing WoW on my windows 8 computer. The computer crashed and when it rebooted a screen flashed that said your computer has ran into a problem and needs to reboot. upon rebooting it comes up "Preparing Automatic Repair". It sits there for a while and I guess it fails because it reboots and flashes the computer ran into a problem screen again and repeats. I have tried getting the PC into safe mode it doesnt come up. I do not have a windows 8 install DVD to boot to. I downloaded an upgrade from vista to windows 8 from microsoft to get windows 8 on my computer. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed?
