View 1 Replies View RelatedThe Windows XP machine that my sister is using is having quite the issue. Whenever she views a folder in her My Pictures folder from Windows Explorer, in Photoshop, or when uploading to something onto the internet, it closes down. To be more specific, in the above three cases it closes Explorer (including the task bar), Photoshop, and the browser, depending on the method of viewing the pictures. It comes up with a submit error dialogue box, which along with the error logs don't seem to help me very much (unless you have a better understanding of them).The only changes I can account for was the instillation of one or two LAN remote viewing programs, although one of them runs as is (so wouldn't count as installing). Before that I uninstalled a lot of programs from that computer because I have this new Vista Ultimate machine and they said they didn't want all that "crap" on that computer anymore. I wouldn't blame them.

Then Dreamweaver told me I ought to check to see if IIS (Internet Information Server) was installed, so I did (it wasn't - no C:/Inetpub). Then, again following directions, I went to Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs/ Add or Remove Window Components to install IIS.
Not an option.So I went to www.microsoft.com/downloads and could find all sorts of ancillary helpers to IIS (Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager for Windows XP, Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Tool 2.1) but noplace from which I could just download IIS 6.0.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to download Windows XP updates to a CD. The reason is I am working on my sister's computer which says she needs many updates, including Windows XP Service Pack 2. She uses dial up and one download can take hours. My computer is on cable hookup and downloads quickly. I would like to download the updates to a cd and transfer to her computer. However, going to the download sites requires it searching my system which doesn't match. I run Win98. Does anyone know how I can get these updates?

View 8 Replies View RelatedXP Pro SP2, Intel 3.3 cpu, 1 gig ram. My automatic updating stopped working. I had it set to notify me of new updates, and I downloaded and installed what I wanted. Now I get no notifications. If I go to the Windows download site the option I select is download critical updates. This brings up a window telling me that my computer is being checked to see if all the needed files for downloading are on my machine. I am told that they are missing and that I can download and install them by clicking on the provided button. I then see messages saying that the download is progressing, and when I get to 100% a new message tells me that the files are being registered. So far so good. Unfortunately, I am returned to the window saying my computer must be checked, and we go around again. In my investigations to date, the only suggestion I found (in several places) is update my display driver. I have not yet done so because my screen presents no problems. Anybody out there have experience with something like this?

I niticed in the Start menu there is also a Microsoft Update When I go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us.

The Windows Update site has even rechcecked to make sure I am using an genuine Windows product.But nothing happens. The Installation status box stays blank and the download progress bar continually says "Preparing for download" After about 10 minutes the Installing Updates dialogue says "Updates were unable to be successfully installed". No error messages or codes received.
Meanwhile the Windows Connector icon in the Taskbar indicates no data being transfered except it occassionally flashes as though it is attempting to connect to the server.Currently updated AVG, S&D, Ewido, MS Antispyware, Registry Mechanic and Adawre indicate no problems. HJT does not seem to indicate any problems. Trying System Restore didn't help.Using XP Home, IE6 SP2.
Why can't I download updates without the Windows Genuine Key? Do I need to buy that before I can download updates from Microsoft?
