Icon And Reminders, Download And Install?
May 9, 2009
whether to download and install them. But it seems the Icon and reminders won't go away unless I choose what MS wants, which is to install it. If I choose NOT to install a particular update, is the damned icon going to sit in my system tray and keep NAGGING me until I do, or is there a way to make it go away - without turning off Updates completely. There is an IE update which I don't care to add because I don't use IE, but when I choose not to install it, the icon won't go away.

My pop up reminders on my windows calendar have quit working when the calendar is not active. When I access the calendar, the reminders then pop-up to tell me that the reminder is overdue. I have tried to fix this in the task scheduler, but the task scheduler is so confusing that I have no idea how to work it. OS=Vista

I Have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit (SP1) My frustrations began when I tried to download and install various programs.
1) I had to go on a chat line to actually get Mozilla Firefox installed.
2) This machine will download things, but will never install. I have tried to install things like ITunes, KodakEasyShare.....no go
3) Have noticed that the Windows Update will not install the update for 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1. FAILS every time!
4) Error code that I get is 80200053 And when I try to install things this is the series of codes that I get:
1) Data error in ITunes64.msi : File is Broken
2) Data error in Quick time.msi. : File is Broken
3) Data error in Apple Software Update.msi : File is Broken
4) Data error in Apple ApplicationSupport.msi : File is Broken
5) Data error in Apple MobileDeviceSupport64.msi File is Broken
6) Data error in Bonjour 64.msi : File is Broken
7) Data error in MobileMe64.msi : File is Broken
8) Data error in Setup Admin.exe : File is Broken
I have run an antispyware...I was clean. I do not know what else to do. I am so frustrated it irks me to think a brand new computer would have all these gliches already!

I tried to download/install a game from realarcade today. When the installer program was running I got a message that an error occured. I tried to redownload the game and this time I got a windows message that files were corrupted, try again. I also got a dialog box saying the program might not have installed properly or I could check it had installed properly. I clicked cancel but immediately another box appeAred as if it were trying to install. I hit cancel. My question, where does all the files/programing reside after I hit cancel. Can any of it be left over and be in an incomplete state and mess up anything else? I looked in programs to see if it could be uninstalled but it was not in that list.

I have a VistaUltimate 64 installation that had SP RC1 installed. I duly uninstalled it, apparently successfully, but I cannot install SP1 either from the standalone download or WU. I get the message SP1 is already installed. I still have the evaluation copy text on my screen. There is no entry anymore in program settings regarding SP1 RC1. Is there a workaround for this. I do not want to rebuild this PC.

I bought a downloaded version of Vista from Microsoft. I did not get a CD or DVD. I installed it with a dual boot putting Vista on a little partition so I could see how I liked it. No I am ready to wipe out my XP and Previous Vista and start over. However all I have is this big zip file and unpacked there is no documentation or anything for that matter on how to make a disk, or make a disk from an ISO file.

Running Vista Home Prem32Bit....will Upgrade to Windows7 32BIT. Ran Microsoft's Windows 7 Advisor....the Report shows under the PROGRAM section, Cisco PEAP MODULE 1.0.13 is not compatible. It shows update is available and when you click on it you go to a Cisco Site....but I couldn't find the download, for that matter, any downloads. I have tried to get help from CISCO, it is impossible. All I wanted was the link to download the Update and all they wanted was a contract number. I don't even know what this program does...it may be the wireless Password Security? It should not be this difficult, I need to update PEAP and I have spent many hours at the Cisco site and Internet searches and have been unable to find the download that will update Cisco PEAP Module to a version that is Compatible with Windows 7. Hopefully someone else has been sucessful and has located the site where I can download and install the Update.........

ever since I allowed my new computer (6 mos. old, and running Vista) to download and install the updates available Feb. 12, it has been a horror show. My computer is crashing at least once a day. I've tried going back to various previous restore points, but then, after the "restore process", up pops the message "System retore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed. Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. ". In addition I can no longer use task bar tabs in Wordperfect, to, for example change margins. If I do, up on the screen flashes a message saying that I've committed an error, then terminates my word processing screen. Even if I bring up a letter I typed ayear ago and try to change anything, Vista interjects and closes the application.

I'm running (factory installed) Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new (3 month old) HP w1907 desktop computer. HP Update recommends downloading and installing "NVIDIA Unified Graphic Update", 74.4 MB, taking an estimated 4.3 hours on my dial-up connection. Reason given has something to do with recovery from sleep mode - which I never use. Nevertheless, I decided to download and install the update.

5 days ago I posted a problem about not being able to download exe files and not being able to install programs from CD's. The problem had been addressed a couple of years ago and none of those solutions worked, along with no recent listings of the problem. What did I do wrong on my post that I had no comments, suggestions or assistance offered at all?

SP1 went through the full install routine, but when it reaches the end of Stage 3, I get a message saying that SP1 failed to install and it then goes through a lengthy process to revert to the computer's previous state. There is no detailed error message telling me why it failed to install. I've tried both the automatic and manual download versions of SP1. I've also tried it with all of my virus and internet security turned off. I still get the same message. how I can get SP1 to install.

When using Computer Management > Device Manager : Generally speaking is it a good idea to let it automatically search the internet for the latest device driver , download it , and install it? How well does this technology work?

A friend's Vista SP1 PC is failing to install Windows Updates and also some other updates such as those for Itunes. The symptom is that the updates get downloaded but the installation phase never finishes (he's left it for 12 hours!). In the case of the Windows Updates, there are several updates that try to install themselves as the PC is shutdown or even restarted, but the message "Installing 1 of 6" never advances: the only recourse is to switch the PC off.
As I was looking at the PC, I noticed one thing which may have a bearing on this and may even be the cause: the System Restore applet (windowssystem32 strui.exe) fails to run. It displays an initial User Account Control window but the "Restore System Files and Settings - choose a restore point" window never appears. No error message is displayed and there are no entries in any of the Event Log logs.
It occurred to me that if System Restore is buggered, this might prevent any updates working if the first thing they try to do is to create a restore point before installation begins. I can't find any reference to System Restore failing to open its initial Window - I've looked on support.microsoft.com and done a general Google search for "Vista System Restore fails". All the info seems to describe possible problems if you get slightly further and select a restore point which then fails to install properly.

PC: HP Windows Media Center PC m8200n; Monitor HP w1907. November 2007. OS: Windows Vista Home Premium. HP: Deskjet F4180. So I noticed that the printer icon for my printer became all white, IE a corrupted icon. So I went online and found information on how to refresh your icon folder. That didn't do anything. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall.
I have tried to reinstall my HP software from disc, and I get a 'new PSSWCORE.msi' file. I see the file on the install disc, yet it won't install. 'Network resource is unavailable.'
Now I cannot uninstall it. On my Add/Remove I see:
HP Customer Participation Program 9.0
HP All In One Software 9.0
HP Imaging device Functions 9.0
HP On-Screen Cap/Num/Scroll Lock Indicator
HP Photosmart Essential
HP Update
How can I get these off my PC, and reinstall cleanly so I can use my rinter/scanner again?

I am about to install Vista64 home premium on a new build with 8 megs of RAM. The disk is Vista64 SP1. I was wondering if it is still recommended to install Vista64 with only 1 stick of RAM first prior to installing all 8 megs? Or because the disk has SP1, is this no longer an issue?

I would like to check the memory for errors BEFORE I load/install Windows Vista Home Premium x64 to avoid install hang-ups. Can you make an ISO CD of this program, load it in your CD/DVD drive and check your memory for errors? I recently updated the BIOS on the board (DP35DP) and it does show all of the 4GB of Kingston ValueRam PC800 1.8v (2x2gb) installed. I have good reason to believe that it's from a respectable manufacturer. Just want to make sure the memory is good before I load up the OS.

I'm assuming a clean install with an upgrade license will be identical to a clean install with a 'full' copy, except that at some point during the process, it will ask for my key for Windows XP? I just want to confirm this is the case before I go buy an upgrade copy. one last question to tack on here - if I have a desktop and a laptop computer will it let me install the same copy and license key of Vista on both? I know some MS products in the past have allowed you to install on more than one computer because they realize a lot of people have more than one computer but they only work with one at a given time.
