What would cause Windows Update to stop working??
Some laptops I work with recently stopped updating. When I try to, I get "Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not currently running , try restarting your computer". I am trying to figure out why this would happen. The only recent changes done to them were the 18 or so updates from a week or so ago and nothing else. So what I am basically asking is, what would be causes for this to happen? Anyone have any ideas as to why? *Info* Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Have since resolved issue Just need info on why this would happen View this thread

Windows Update Error Code 8024402F
Hi, I had not updated windows for a while, and I thought it would be a good idea to update it. I had disabled checking for updates automatically so I go to check for an update manually and I get error code 80244022, I seemed to have fixed that, but now when I go to Check for an Update I get error code 8024402F, I have tried all the options that are applicable to me in any of the help articles connected to this error code but to no avail, also when I tried to run the FixIt it sais the troubleshooter is temporarily unavailable and it had an issue downloading one or more components and cannot run the troubleshooter, so I find the updated FixIt for Windows Update and it says the same thing. When I first got the computer I could update fine but after doing a Clean Install of Windows near the start of this year I have not been able to update which is weird. I am at my wits end, can anyone please help me? View this thread

Can I download and send a copy of Windows XP Mode to a customer?
I work for a company which produces software and one of our products is old enough that it will not run on 64 bit Windows so requires Windows XP Mode. We would normally ask our customers (who are businesses) to download Windows XP Mode then install our product, but we have a customer who does not have internet access on their office PC and cannot download from there. The office PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64. They can download from their home PC which is a 32bit version of Windows 7 but this causes problems as if they select to download the 64bit XP Mode the Microsoft authentication check won't run (presumably because it's running the 64bit checker on a 32bit PC). So, my question is, are we legally allowed to download the XP Mode installer (plus Virtual PC installer) using our Windows 7 Pro 64 machine and post it to them on a DVD? Or will this cause complications in itself being a different version of Windows to the target machine? (Ultimate 64) Thanks in advance! View the thread

Cannot return font size to default
Being 78 I am having eye problems and I went to "Personalizing" and changed the font size to 120 but I then found this made some screens too large to access the bottom of the screen. Specifically, I cannot access the "OK" instruction at the bottom of the Personalizing screen in order to return to the default. Even if the answer only demonstrates my computer idiocy, I would really like some help. View this thread
