Unspecified error, it just won't install. I tried searching for that but Google only comes up with pages in Japanese. WTH? Why is Windows Update trying to install this if it's not for English/US? Yahoo didn't find any pages with an exact match of KB2961149 It's been how many years of Windows Update and Microsoft keeps having this same problem with updates that keep saying they need to be...

You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". By trial and error I traced this behavior to KB2926765 in particular. When this update was installed I could not get start-up progs. eg. avast etc to load. Also when trying to...

Home Premium didn't recognize the camera or the data files, they were too old. As I was researching what to do, I discovered that Windows 7 Enterprise and Professional have the ability to recognize...

Is it possible for me to have my computer go to sleep when either the WU download or installation is completed?

WGA installed somehow. I'd like to remove it. Help appreciated.

Hi all, I don't have a problem, per se. But... On principle only, I have avoided installing genuine advantage, because I see it as an insult, and frankly, I don't trust Microsoft. WGA can't help me... it can only hurt. Somehow, after a BSOD, when rebooting the system, Win 7 decided to install all available updates, including WGA. My system seems fine, and I understand that it...

Windows 7 OEM activation

I put a new SSD into my laptop and did a fresh install of Windows 7. The activation key isn't working, this is because according to Microsoft it is an OEM activation key that Acer used to install Windows and this is blocked. They say that I have to contact Acer to unblock it. Is there any other way around this? I haven't had chance to call Acer just yet because their offices are closed. I suspect...

This seems...
