Windows update freezes
I am on Windows XP sp 3. After my wife switched off the pc half way during power down, I have not been able to update properly. I kept getting updates offered repeatedly even though they were shown as installed correctly. I then had an upgrade to Silverlight which seemed to install fine. The next time I went to Windows update, it just froze and I had to ctl alt delete to cancel it as it was not responding. I have tried Mr. FIXIT with no success. I run Kasperski Antivirus but that has been OK for years. It all started with the untimely switch-off. Please can anyone help? View this thread

CD\DVD Drive does not exist
I recently bought a refurbished Latitude D430 and partitioned the HDD but in "My Computer" was an icon for a CD Drive (F). As the D430 doesn't have a CDDVD Drive, I assume a USB drive was connected to install the OS and software and then removed. Can anyone please tell me how to delete the "phantom" Cd drive, as I need to use the F for my partitioning. I've deleted it in Device Manager but it remains in Computer and when I reboot the computer it is back in Device Manager still with an explanation mark and a fault indicated. In addition each time it boots up Windows tries to install drivers for the Phantom CD View this thread

PreInstall Office OEM - not PreLoad
Hi All, I have a customer who has a large number of laptops which they have purchased Office 2010 Professional OEM for. Rather than "PreLoad" Office OOBE and Starter and all the rest I would like to "PreInstall" Just 2010 Pro so when the client gets it all they need to do is put the differing key in and away they go. does anyone know if this can be done? i know it is possible with Pro Plus but I can find out the way to do it with Pro OEM, some documentation leadds me to belive it can be done and I recall seeing big OEM resellers (dell, lenovo) doing it this way too. Cheers. View this thread

Post System Recovery Issues: Missing dlls, Updates not working, automated MS Fix-it does not recogn
Windows XP Home (32-bit), Version 2002 which came preloaded on my HP Pavilion 551w when it was purchased new from Wal-mart in April 2002. Wildblue Exede broadband. Prior to recent System Recovery computer was "clean", no viruses, etc., and was currect on updates. It was overloaded with old junk files and so many corrupted files that had it so bogged down it was almost impossible to use. Took almost 30 minutes to boot it up. Deleted tons of programs and files, defrag, etc., even tried reg repair program (RegZooka) to no avail. System Recovery was last resort. After System Recovery I need to re-install SPs , but Windows Update does not function and manual attempts also do not work. Automated Microsoft Fix-it does not recognize my computer's XP Home OS (message that . Followed steps for manual registration of wups2.dll, rec'd RegSvr32 message "module could not be found". What to I do now to fix this? (As much as I'd love to, I cannot afford to replace my computer at this time.) View this thread

Bing search engine question
Why is a small gray blinking box in my bing search window on the left side inside the bar where you type? Started last month May 2012. My computer is up to date via microsoft. I am thinking that it has something to do with that but am somewhat bothered by this little gray box considering it was never there before. Have updated my daughters computer and she to has the little gray box in her search engine as well. Not even sure where to post this, I see files, Folders and search but chose Microsoft updates thinking that this has something to do with the updates anyway. View this thread
