View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP Pro, Word 2003, browsers: Firefox or IE6 in an HP e-pc 40 with Intel Celeron processor, 256MB RAM. Recently, I installed Belarc Advisor. Yesterday I did another scan and it revealed there is a critical update KB929969. In Microsoft's downloads, the closest I am able to come for a system needing an update of this number is Windows 2000 - which I don't have. Apparently, it's some sort of security update for IE6. Does anyone have any type of useful information for me? I would hate to think my system is vulnerable to some type of malware - been there, done that.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently I took unusual step of visiting Windows update. This was just to double check that the system I was working on was absolutely up to date.Automatic update was set to Auto. Windows update website informed me that a critical update was required. it turned out to be the Windows Bogus (Genuine) Advantage Authentication... I had no choice but to Activate the system before I was allowed to continue checking for updates. Bloody cheek! passing off this 'Genuine advantage authentication' as a critical update. One day I am bound to come across a system that does not pass this authentication. Will the system be usable or will they lock the system until I have made a groveling phone call or worse have to inform my customer/neighbour/friend of a friend that "Sorry I know you just wanted me to check your system was up to date but now you must pay £200 for an Operating system"
I dont usually receive problems from microsoft updates, but this one is getting on my nerves a bit. See, I am at a college in california, and there is this program called "Cisco Clean Access" which is like a toll booth to use the internet here. You have a student ID and a password.for some reason, the campus administrators changed Cisco Clean Access so that it requires everyone to update their computers, mainly PC people. I just got my desktop up and running after installing 2 new GPU's and a PSU, and am now updating it. I have the updates, but one of them is giving me some lip! here "Updates were unable to be successfully installed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday I got a notice from microsoft that a critical update was ready to install. I downloaded the update after closing all other open windows. After the installation was complete it restarted the computer after which my compter would not completly boot up. I had to boot in safe-mode and do a system restore to get it working right. Today I have the same notice so I went to the windows update page, and saw the update was there. I didn't download it because of what happened before. So I went to my installed update history and it said it was successfully updated. I looked at the update again and it said the update was 0 kbs. Can you tell me what happened and why now the up date says 0 kps to be installed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedA little background first. A new cheap NAS (Network Attached Storage) was obtained and files being copied up for a fast online second copy when we encountered this message."Confirm Stream Loss.The file 'App Training.avi' has extra information attached to it that might be lost if you continue copying. The contents of the file will not be affected. Do you want to copy the file anyway? In the past we used a Linux box and didn't receive such a message, but this new box is FAT32 based which not only has a 4GB filesize limit but we see we'll lose NTFS metadata along the way. The file itself looks to be fine.I'm a bit surprised I havent' run into this before but what bothers me is that further testing shows that you can provoke the message on backup to floppy, CDRW, DVDRW or many backup systems.

Critical Update for Windows XP (KB886185)
After checking for win updates, I thought I would check the history of other updates. Much to my surprise, there were 6 updates, ALL from June 14, that had "FAILED". Some gave a page to go to for description, some did not. I have tried and tried to get these updates installed, but no success. These were the "critical updates" categories. Is there ANY way I can get the Microsoft to either send me to another address that would install them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI experiance this problem mostly when i'm gaming so it makes me think that whats causing it could be an overheating issue. anyway in the middle of a game the computer will just restart and when windows loads it says Windows has just recovered from a critical error.
I purchased a 200gb external USB hard drive (HAMMER) a few years ago. It seems that over time Windows XP has been migrating critical files over to it or something. I have been finding strange folders with strange properties. Anyways, the computer boots up just fine when the HD is off, but if the HD is ever turned on and then looses its connection, the computer usually shuts down or restarts itself. If anyone knows exactly what's going on or how to fix this problem,
