I am using Windows 7. When I open up my computer it attempts to configure the updates and gets 35% done and then says that it can't configure the updates, reverting changes. The problem is not installing the updates. The problem is configuring them. I have tried the troubleshooter and that doesn't solve the problem. View this thread

I believe that this is an important update. I was offered this update on my Vista and Windows 7 64 bit computer. I am not being offered this update on my Windows 7 64bit laptop. I purchased this computer in December 2011, after the root certificate problem which prompted Microsoft to issue other root certificate updates. I found and downloaded them and Microsoft said they were not appropriate for my system when I tried to install them. I tried installing kB981125 for XP sp3 and that didn't give an indication of it's being installed or not - but it did not show up in the "view installed updates" area, or in the event viewer. Is it possible that this computer doesn't require the KB931125 update? View this thread

I installed Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago and appeared not to have too many problems. I installed and have been using Microsoft Office 2003 quite happily for the past week or so. Unfortunately in the last few days this changed. The main issue is that I cannot use the open dropdown box from the top menu for word or excel. I click File, Open and nothing happens the dialogue box that is normally populated with a list of files is now displayed completely blank. I have now compounded the problem because I decided to uninstall / re-install Office 2003 only to find that I cannot now even use the Outlook menu to configure and select my Outlook data files. Once again if I try to add a data file the dialogue box is displayed blank so I am unable o select a file to open.. I have experimented by trying some of the other dropdown options in word and excel only to find that any dropdown box that would normally be populated with a list of files is shown blank. I can open files by directly accessing it in windows and clicking it. At which point the spreadsheet or word documsnt opens as expected. Seeing too many other forum logs about sudden unexplained issues following windows upates to be comfortable about this version of windows. View this thread

I like windows mail can I use windows mail on windows 8 View this thread

On my WP7 phone I frequently use the Facebook chat built into messaging (I don't have a cell connection in the back of my apartment so it comes in useful). Ever since I have hooked up Facebook on Windows 8 through it's messaging my phone stops receiving Facebook chat messages. Instead, these messages are delivered to Windows 8 if I'm still logged in, which I usually am. My first thought was, remove Facebook from the Windows 8 messaging app. The problem is, when I did that, it also removed it from my phone (and this one reason why saved settings in the cloud can backfire). What are my options, I want to receive these chat messages on my phone, not on Windows 8 (and I'm not logging out everytime I might want to receive them on my phone, it's just not an option as I go in and out of meetings everyday and closing everything down 4-5 times a day just isn't going to happen, nor should it have to as it wasn't the case when I used Windows 7). I wouldn't mind receiving them on both devices but that doesn't appear to be an option, it's like it's delivered and it's first come first serve on what device gets to it first (and since the Win8 Desktop is on a super fast wired connection, it always seems to get it first). How do I get Windows 8 to stop receiving the FB messages so my WP7 phone begins receiving them again (since removing the account on Win8 also removed it from WP7 unfortunately)?

I have been using MS Money for many years and my latest version is Money Plus Deluxe. I know that MS has stopped all support and the online funtions have also been stopped. I generally always enter all my transactions manually so that has never been a problem. Until today. For some reason i can move around in my account, balance etc. What it will not allow me to do is enter a new transaction. What is happening and is this a PC problem or has MS totally shut this down? i have rebooted my pc., backed up my accounts but i cannot add a new transaction to my checking account. Help. I am running Windows XP View this thread

I bought a computer last year(2011) and I purchased Kaspersky Pure for protection. I have used it all year and it is now time to purchase a renewal, which I did. I followed all the download instructions and I can't install it on the computer. I don't think Windows 7 is allowing me to install it. I downloaded it but a box comes up and says "the icon on the desktop(which Kaspersky said to download to) can't be used because it is not valid. How do I get my computer to install this program if it is already downloaded? View this thread

From Help: "If you're saving your backups on a hard drive or network location, Windows Backup will create a new, full backup for you automatically when needed." This indicates it is possible to save backups on a network location, but I don't see a way to specify one in Backup and Restore settings. It only shows hard drives, DVD, etc. View the thread
