My copy of Windows is genuine, yet when I try to use the Windows Update site or the automatic updating, I get error message 0x80004005, which states "problem displaying page." As for my automatic update function, it just doesn't come on. I ran the Windows Validation tool
Just recently, Windows Defender has been displaying an Exclamation Point over it's icon in the system tray. I looked into it and it seems that it wants new definition files.I tried updating the definitions but for some reason it just acts like its trying to update but never does.I'm thinking this may have some thing to do with Windows Genuine Disadvantage.

I have been trying to help a friend whose computer with XP Home had never been updated. We got all 3 service packs installed but when I tried to go to the Windows Update page, it is always redirected to a non-scanning page for Windows 95. I have searched the registry for the URL it is redirected to without results. Something is redirecting Internet Explorer to the Win 95 page and I cannot figure out what or why.
When I try to update windows, I clck express, then I need to verify my copy of windows. When I click verify, another window comes up for "The Updates Are Being Downloaded And Installed" However it just hangs for 2 minutes and then it states "Failed To Install" I can't get any windows updates now. This just started approx. 2 months ago. I disabled firewall, and even tried in safe mode to no avail.
When I turn on computer it takes quite a while for MSN page to load and then allot of the times it times out, I refresh and it still wont download. I then power off and try again. Am also having problems downloading my updates, I got error 0x800c008 today
My Windows Updater has stopped working. I get the following message when I try to connect to the Update site through Help and Support: "Cannot display the page The page you are trying to view cannot be displayed because the server it resides on does not respond. Please try again later." I've tried to go to several XP update pages via Google and I get similar messages. Has Microsoft changed something and not told us?
I've been fighting with Microsoft update web site for about a week and a half now. All of the sudden when I go there to get updates, all I get is the option to click on Express or Custom. Then when it gets to the page where ya see the green balls moving across the page while its scanning my system to see if I need any updates, it just stays there and if I stay at that page too long, my PC locks up.
I'm running XP Pro with 500MHz and 256 in ram. I've tried to contact Microsoft tech guys that I can barley understand and they have no idea what's going on. It doesn't make any difference if its a fresh install of XP Pro with nothing else installed except for my wireless card so I can connect to the net, or the current system I'm running now.

For some reason winxp is suddenly displaying every thing upside down.when he restarts his computer everything seems fine until the desk top appears. he suspects his children my have changed settings but he can't find what they might be.
I have a 2GB RAM + 2.5 GHz + nVidia Pro motherboard + Windows XP PC.
Everytime i start my PC, after loggin in, it just displays the wallpaper. NOTHING ELSE! No mouse right clicks, no windows button works! Cannot work on it AT ALL!
It seems like it has hung, but if i try a Cntrl+Alt+Del, the task mgr screen opens up and i can select a single program by "New Task" and run it! so, definitely there is a normal PC running behind that wallpaper!
Now, heres the frustrating part -
I have had this issue after formatting the PC for abt 7 times till now! the antivirus (tried all) run immediately after a format shows nothing now - and still the issue would crop up after 2-3 days again!
I am really terrified with this, seems like a major virun attack as my PC shows up behavorial changes each time coupled with the above issue!
When I try to send a multi-page fax from WORD or Power-Point, only the first page or slide appears in the FAX. This is a recently developed problem. I've successfully sent multi-page FAXes in the past.
I continuously get 'ERROR this page cannot be displayed' when I try to send a greeting card or access another web page. What is going on? I tried to fix and enabled all that I thought was necessary on settings.
I decided to do a clean install of XP with SP2 included on the same disc. I had done this before but sometime ago. The Install appears to run fine but after all the files are copied to the hard drive and then the system reboots it hangs displaying the XP logo with the blue activity bars going from left to right. I've removed all boards and even bought a new copy as there is a small scratch on it. I get the same result with the new disc. I borrowed a copy of XP with SP1 and it installs fine. I assume this proves the hardware is all ok.
About once a day, my system starts displaying random errors. Applications do not work as they should, and my network card is seemingly disabled. The only solution is a reboot. During the shutdown process, the welcome screen is usually enabled, however, when these errors occur, small dialog boxes saying "Logging off" and "shutting down" are displayed. I am pretty sure it's not spyware, as this is a fresh install of XP only a week old.
I've got XP Pro SP2.My JPE, JPEG, JPG files are displaying the Netscape icon next to them even though I have gone to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options and set it up so that Photoshop opens each of these file types. The Photoshop icon is displayed in the Folder Options as it should be, and the files do open in Photoshop, but if I go to File > Open in Photoshop, all of these files have the Netscape icon. How do I make it so the Photoshop icon is displayed for these?
I'm having trouble with virtual network adapters not displaying under network connections (WinXP PRO SP3). Specifically, I'm trying Hexago Virtual Multi-Tunnel Adapter and Microsoft Loopback Adapter. They display under device manager, and Microsoft Loopback Adapter displays under IPCONFIG but does not obtain an ip address (it gets a 169.x.x.x address). I have DHCP enabled on my router. Hexago Virutal Multi-Tunnel Adapter only displays under IPCONFIG as Quote: Ethernet adapter {92E05311-E540-4405-A525-80ABD9C93EE9}: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Neither displays under Network Connections.
I often right click in IE and select Create Shortcut.It puts a shortcut and my desktop to that page. This mysteriously stopped working. The icon appears on my desktop with the page title and all, but when I double click it, it just opens up my browser and loads about:blank.In the shortcut file's properties, and then gives me the file's size, location,etc.but it doesn't list the URL anywhere. It's just getting on my nerves having to copy a page's URL to a text file on my desktop if I want to remind myself of something.

I am having a minor graphical issue with Windows XP.Windows was running as ever up until about a month ago, it starts up a logs into accounts fine, however it fails at displaying the user's theme.I usually have the Windows Classic theme, however when I start a computer up there is a high chance (not always) that it will ignore my theme options and set it'self to default. It remembers the button size and colouring options, however it will not display the window classic theme. The taskbar returnes to it's defauly blue.If I log off of the current user and log back into it, the theme displays correctly. Just at start up it will sometimes display the default theme until logged back into.
I have an external hdd...my xp has detected the driver for the hdd but its not displaying in disk management and also in My Computer. I can only see my C drive and cd-rom. How to resolve this coz i have important file there.
When I open my "My Computer" folder, it displays my computer contents just like any other folder on my pc... it doesn't break my icons up into groups. I can post a screenshot if you can't understand what I mean. Here's the really weird thing. If I login under my personal account, I have this problem. However, if I log off my account and log back in under the Administrator account, the "My Computer" folder displays properly, without anything wrong.
I am running XP at this time. XP Media Center Edition to be exact. My computer is fairly new, only purchased in July of last year. It is a Dell with a 3GHz processor and 4GB of RAM if that matters.
My friend has a pretty new Dell Dimension E520: XP MCE 2005, C2D E6300, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 128MB ATI graphics. Her computer just randomly stopped displaying the screensaver after the set amount of time went by. It doesn't even put the monitor in standby after an hour. Does anyone have an idea as to why it is doing this?
I was listening to some Good Charlotte, and in my D: and all the sudden I get a blue screen sayin page fault none page area... I also got this problem when I tried to reinstall Media Player 9. It sounds like some system file is triggering tihs
in a fit of "I'm going to clean all the old junk off my computer"... I accidently started to remove something connected to ATI. Then the computer froze. Now when I try to reboot I get the blue screen with the Page Fault in Non Page Area message. I have tried a System Restore
