Hi everyone, I'm new here, looking forward to speaking with you all. Hopefully I'm posting in the right area! :) I help my mom with most of her computer issues, and I'm usually able to troubleshoot most of them without much difficulty, but today I've encountered a real whopper that I just can't figure out :( So here's what's going on: This morning, she ran windows updates (from what I...

I am getting an update error 80070643 Updates not installed Update for Windows (KB2859903) Also 2 net framework updates. I downloaded the first net framework update and tried to install, and I got a pop up telling me that "this update is not applicable to your computer". So why then does it appear as an important update? This appears to be a Microsoft screw up.

Well, I've seen this is a most common issue in this forum so I'm asking for help to get the SP1 running. I had always put it off but now I have a new replacement battery and the system is not detecting it and I'm suspicious it is the SP1 not being installed what is causing the problem. I have already run the Readiness tool several times and also som M FixIt thing I found at the msoft site. ...

Hello all, This week we suddenly got notification that no legitimate Windows version was running (+ black background desktop). This is strange because we have purchased the computer in an electronic store and the computer has an official Windows license sticker with hologram. So, I re-activated the license key and Windows accepted it. My worries are that this happened so suddenly. I also...

Hi All, I have been reading the forums and tried several of the suggestions, but need your help. I am working my dads computer and it (like many I read in here) is an original OEM instal of 7.

I went ahead and...

Please help me out - I replaced my defective HDD with a new Samsung Spinpoint HDD, re-installed my Windows 7 image using the recovery DVDs, and can't update windows at all after that.

Did the best I could reading the posting rules for the forum and the Update forums, but please let me know if there's anything else I need to do. I attached a screenshot of the Update that has failed to load for months now and the error code it gave me (both are also in the post title). I was unable to download the SURT as I didn't see the correct one for my system and I wouldn't want to...

It used to be that everything was checked by default when I opened that page but this time the 3 for .NET weren't checked but they're 'Recommended'. ???? I got KB2834140 this time but I had 'Hidden' KB2670838 when it came out 'cuz I wasn't sure I really needed it, something about 'Platform', so do I hide it too? I always click on the "More info" link to see if I can possibly make sense...

It has finally happened to my third Windows 7 computer. I start it up in the morning and am met with an hour glass because Windows did not load completely. I've had enough experience lately that I know to not panic but to go into safe mode and remove the last update, reboot and all is fine. Don't remember this ever happening with XP but is it fairly normal for Windows 7? Second question...

Just F9-ed my system for clean install (twice today for CS) and then- as always- the ordeal of installing a hugh bunch of updates... first check for updates and bang: 132 with a total of 452 meg. I know from previous installations it takes ridiculously long if not forever to get them installed without the risk of failed updates. Anyway, just want to install SP1 but that one only shows up after...

I'm having a weird issue that I've never come across before. I recently upgraded all of my company computers, and we're doing a training in social media for some of our Board of Directors. I picked the nicest 13 laptops from our recently returned models, and planned to use them for the training before selling to staff or recycling them. Those laptops contained employee info, so I planned to...

I've got a user that has been having the Windows 7 SP1 update fail after multiple install attempts. You can probably guess that I've browsed the web several times over and can find no resolution to the issue. The error code is the rather bland 0x800B0100 - the least helpful error code since the days of "there is no article for this error code." I have done the SURT. All it does is install a...
