Update Are No Longer Registered Or Installed On Computer?
Dec 7, 2006
I tried to update my Acer laptop and I get a message "files required to use windows update are no longer registered or installed on your computer" There is then a radio button filled in and a "proceed" buuton to download and register the files. It then churns a percentage thing fro 0 to 100% and then I end up on the normal download page which I was on before, I hit "express - recommended" and I get the message "files required.........." again. And thus it never ends. After spending money on Microsofts premium call line I am told to contact Acer

I have an Acer Aspire laptop with WinXP and all the usual rubbish installed, I have had this since around September of last year and got it for a little less as the packaging was opened 'basically someone decided they didn't want it?' i'm more than happy with it and have installed lots to keep me and family happy - the problem i've got is it won't update via Windows Update: i get an error message:
"Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:
Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) or Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem

So I can't update windows or anything. I can't gt automatic updates to start. When i go in services.msc in start>run i try to start the process for automatic updates and it won't let me. I go to manual, click start, and it says 'could not start automatic update service on local computer. Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it'. Now when I go to auto updates in control panel, it is set on automatic, however it doesn't do it.

1) i bought it with service pack 1, when i downloaded and installed service pack 2 from the good old windowsupdate site, things started getting funkky.
2) i can no longer install any new updates from the update site. i can download them but when the install part starts, i get errors and asks me to debug them.makes no sense to me.
3) more problems. randomly, my computer screen will sometime go comepletely blue, white white typewriter font, (a windows message) and it will say...blah blah error restart if its ur first time seeing this message.check recently added programs/hardware and contact their manufacturers if uve already seen this message.then it lists some numbers and it poops on me.
4)random popups saying i have memory loss / missing files - they will ask me to debug them or end them.then i have to send ANOTHER stupid error report to windows, yes those are a pain in.
5) my aol instant messenger has problems as well whenever i log off and close aim, i get errors about it saying i need to close it or debug it but i already closed it. sometimes it says im missing files from aim. but how? even when i just installed it
6) sometimes it says my files in win32are pooped.and i get weird errors like warning messages and all this weird crap.

Computer runs on Windows XP Home SP2. Since the last two or three monthly Window updates, that yellow shield icon - the Windows Update icon - no longer shows up in the system tray. I tried to locate it under "previous elements" (I'm translating from German since my computer language is in German), but it's not there. I only know when Window updates have been downloaded when I want to shut down the computer and I have the option to either first install the updates, after which the computer will shut down automatically, or shut down the computer without installing the updates.

My new laptop came preinstalled with Windows XP. When it booted up, it asked me who would be using this computer, saying something about how it would create new profiles for them. I whimsically decided to enter "THE KING" (to be the admin) and "peasant" (for other users).
Apparently that was a bad idea because now it says the computer is registered to THE KING (for example, when you click My Computer, then properties). Is there any way to change it?

For the last week or so I have had a notice that M$ would like to install Quote: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 I give it the "OK" and it looks like it is installing--- only to report that "The following update was not able to be installed" and it list the same one over again. I close it and five minutes later the notice is back again---- wants to install it again--- and again with the same results. My guess is that I would like to get rid of the file they have downloaded and let them try again--- seems like it might be defective download. I am running XP-SP2 with both .NET Framework 1.1 & 2.0 on the Add/Remove list

Feel better now, Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)is installed on my computer, I am aware that update (KB930494), is critical and necessary to maintain security integrity within my system yet it will not load regardless of what I do, (disabled all virus protection; spyware protection...etc) and any other installed program that may interfere, still I cannot load this update and only this update. I have a detailed analysis of my system (BeLarc), every KB****** (windows update) is installed per the 08/14/2007 Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary and functioning beautifully except for this one. It will not load and does not give a detailed sheet message either. It simply states that that KB930494 was an unsuccessful update....

After installing .Net Framework 1.1 and its Service Pack 1from Windows Updates this morning, I found some errors in the Application section of Event Viewer. I can't find much information about them and what little I found I didn't really understand. Could someone please tell me if I need to do anything? They are:
[1] Event Type: Warning
Event Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0
Event Category: Setup
Event ID:1020
Date: 13/07/2005
Time: 10:24:37 AM
User: N/A
Computer: 6498B0J
Description:
Updates to the IIS metabase were aborted because IIS is either not installed or is disabled on this machine. To configure ASP.NET to run in IIS, please install or enable IIS and re-register ASP.NET using aspnet_regiis.exe /i. For more information, see Help and Support Center at.....
I had no idea what IIS was and whether I ought to have it, so I followed the link. This led to a "Sorry, no further information" message. I searched the Knowledge Base and found KB 555150, "How to add support for ASP.NET in Internet Information Services 5 and 5.1". This then pointed me to KB 308192, "How to configure Windows 2000 as a Web server".

My machine has suddenly started giving me an error on start-up. The little red shield appears in the system tray and a warning saying that my Norton Anti-virus software is not working and I am not protected. However after a short while this disappears.I think it has something to do with the order the initial TSRs etc. are loaded during the boot-up process, as once the Norton icon appears in the system tray the red shield disappears. I wondered if there is any way I can change the order

I was leaving to work, so I left the computer in standby. I got home about 7 hours later and when I tried to return to desktop, the fan went on loudly but kept on going and nothing would be displayed on the screen. I just turned it off by the front panel button and went to sleep. This morning, I tried unplugging the whole machine from the electricity plug and replugging it in..well it worked! It started but the fan was constantly working for some reason.I downloaded SpeedFan and at the time the temp was like 43 (normal?). Then I turned it off to see what was wrong with the fan. I opened the box and did a small vacuum just trying to collect the dust.after that NO LUCK.The computer doesn't even come on anymore. I have important files on it.I'm going to be screwed.

When moving around on computer, not on net, the computer in general, everything has slowed down...making attachments, typing in Word, viewing programs list etc.I have done a clean up and defrag, have Norton, did all windows updates yesterday, what else should I do? Still have the problem.Could this be security related and maybe a bug, would that slow down whole computer not just internet? Should I run all scans and post a Log on security or here?

I don't want my computer anymore, so I'm giving it to my mom. I changed my name on her name on the admin account. But in the "Windows Task Manager", under "Users", it still lists my name (not hers). And in the "System Properties", where it says "Registered To", it has my name.Other than re-installing the OS, is there anyway to change these two things to her name?Windows XP MCE

I want to delete the company name in the SYSTEM PROPERTIES > REGISTERED TO field. I figure there must be a registry key that holds the info? Can I just delete the key and re-enter my name? The name itself is right, but some ninny who worked on my computer must've entered my old company name. It's annoying.

Since my dad got this computer for me years ago, his name has always been registered or whatever you call it that makes his name appear as the author of html and java files... and also be the name on the "C:Documents and Settings His Name Here Desktop...."
when I write a java class in eclipse, or html, it automatically says his name as the author at the top, and I have to change it. Any way I can change it more permanently? I dont think I can change the user folder under his name, because everything is installed there

My 'computer guy' installed WinXP Professional SP2 on my newly-constructed computer last week. I was disappointed to note that he registered the end-user license agreement under my nickname, rather than my given name, hich I would have preferred. Is there any way at this point to change the 'registered to' name to my correct name.

How can I check with Microsoft online to see if a copy of Windows XP Professional has been previously used and registered? I have the CD, the original box complete with the PRODUCT KEY.Explanation:I bought what was supposed to be a NEW and UNUSED copy of Windows XP Professional on Amazon.com through a 3rd party seller.When I got the software the box looked like it was indeed new and still sealed.However, when I opened it, it had some writing on the CD that leads me to beleive it has been previously used.I would like to check online to see if this copy has been previously REGISTERED with MS.
