  1. Are you using any Firewall? If yes, then which one? Also, please download the Windows Update Agent from the below link. Windows Update Agent 3.0 Visit the link and select the appropriate Operating System version. Download the installer and install the Windows Update Agent. It seems that either the Windows Update Agent is corrupted or something is restricting the updates from being installed on your computer. Let us know the results as soon as possible. :) -- Goku
  2. Of course I found them on the net. I don't have the creativity to invent my own! When it comes to buying a new computer, I would surely go for Vista. But what about upgrading existing units. If I wer to upgrade to Vista, I would definitely need much newer hardware. What I want to say is that should people scrap their current PCs they once considered high-end to upgrade to Vista so that Microsoft throws in a newer Operating System in the market till you get used to it? The answer is no. So, if it comes to buying a new computer, the user should ask for Vista but in existing units XP will be enough for them. :) -- Goku
  3. Agreed Dave. But are most of home users are not heavy gamers and therefore have very high specification computers. If someone is a hardcore gamer, then he will have appropriate hardware to run Vista smoothly for example Sean a.k.a DragonSpawn. There is no point inventing an Operating System that does benefits only one group of users. Business users will have to shell out incredible amounts of money to upgrade their units to Vista when they might be having no problems with XP or any other OS. I think most corporate people are upgrading to Vista because Microsoft is bullying them into it. The average home user I come across hardly knows half of the features XP has in it. Think what will they get after they upgrade to Vista. On a lighter note, read the following error codes. Here are some errors you might experience while using Vista. Vista_Error: 001 Vista loaded - Warning your computer is now in danger Vista_Error: 002 No Error - Check again in 10 seconds Vista_Error: 003 Dynamic linking error - Your mistake is now in every file Vista_Error: 004 Erroneous error - Nothing is wrong (just testing) Vista_Error: 005 Multitasking attempted - System confused Vista_Error: 006 Kelvin error: Type Mismatch - phone Kevlar Vista_Error: 007 System price error - Inadequate money spent on hardware Vista_Error: 008 Broken window.

  4. Does it needs to be mentioned that XP is still outselling Vista? We all know how reluctant most computer users are to upgrade to something new. I would have never upgraded to Windows XP from Windows 98 if XP couldn't run on my current specifications. If I can't run Vista efficiently enough on my current systems, its not worth upgrading to it. The Operating System should be compatible with hardware, not the contrary. Who would spend hundreds of dollars just to gain the Vista experience? -- Goku
  5. I don't know what you mean by wallpaper doesn't apply so can you please check the following link and see if this is what you mean. Wallpaper setting does not apply correctly when you create a custom default user profile ? If it is, then follow the instructions provided and see if they help or not. Also, have you tried the basic troubleshooting measure recommended by Microsoft? How to troubleshoot sound problems in Windows XP If the sounds still don't work, then perhaps the system sound files might have become corrupted. Please report back the results and we will give you further instructions accordingly. Good Luck. :) -- Goku
  6. Thanks Seth. What I want to see is if it works for Deborah too or not? Isn't it strange that Microsoft first invents the bugs and then puts up different utilities to cope with them? http://community.eqo.com/files/smiley-grin.gif -- Goku
  7. Hello and Welcome to FPCH Deborah. Please download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from the following link and use it to remove any previous installations that might have been corrupted or improperly installed. Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility Read the following article if you need some instructions on using the utility. Windows Installer runs on every reboot - why? Let us know if it helps or not. Good Luck. :) -- Goku
  8. Please try changing the password for your current account and see if it helps or not. If that doesn't work, then I think you have been infected with Malware. I will rule out that possibility for now though. -- Goku
  9. Source :) I experienced the problems too and therefore reverted back to version 2. It is working very good and I am having no problems with it. By the way, do you use the option to clear private data when you close Firefox? -- Goku
  10. What Operating System are you using? Also, are you able to access the account in Safe Mode? -- Goku
  11. It seems like a bug in Firefox 3. I would recommend you to roll back to version 2 until its fixed. -- Goku
  12. Hello and Welcome to FPCH Dawn. :) Is this problem account specific? Try booting into Safe Mode and create a new account with Administrator privileges. Now, try to boot in normal mode and see if the problem still persists or not. How to create and configure user accounts in Windows XP Let us know how it goes. Good Luck. :) -- Goku
  13. Hello and Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help Davy. :) Try this. Close Windows Live Messenger. Go to Hotmail on the web, and clean out all the folders. If you want to save any messages, create a new folder and move those messages to the new folder. Empty the thrash also. Remember that when you restart Windows Live Messenger, it will try to synchronize with the new folder status on the web, so be sure you have moved any important email to a storage folder. See if you still get the error message or not. Good Luck. :) -- Goku
  14. As Wolfey mentioned, there are plenty of programs which use brute force methods to crack and breakdown passwords. But as we cannot verify the legitimacy of your condition, we cannot advise you or link you to these programs. We are very sorry for that. On another note, you can try and remember your password or use one of the above programs to recover them. As we cannot help you with the latter option, here are some tips that might help you in remembering back your password. How to Remember Something That You Forgot That is the best we can do to help you in your present condition. I am closing this thread. Please Private Message (PM) me or any other moderator / administrator if you want this thread re-opened. :) -- Goku
  15. Seems the problem is with the website itself as Randy mentioned previously. The site you mentioned looks fine to me. Can you please post a screen shot to explain yourself more clearly? :) -- Goku
  16. Hello and Welcome to FPCh Tic. :) A stupid question but is your monitor properly aligned? You might be experiencing the scrolling problems as the monitor might be incorrectly aligned? -- Goku
  17. Hello and Welcome back to FPCH Danzil. :) Glad to have you on the team. Hope you enjoy your stay here. I am another recent appointment. :) -- Goku
  18. OK, I searched your problem again and it seems that the problem is caused due to a corrupt installation of the Windows Update Agent. Please download the standalone version of the latest version of the program from the following link and reinstall the application. Windows Update Agent 7.1.6001.65 (Direct Link) After you have downloaded the file, install it and reboot your computer. See if you can install the updates or not. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck. :) -- Goku
  19. No problem Russ. We will try to help you as much as we can. Just hang in there till I search for an alternate solution. Thank you for your patience and co-operation. :) -- Goku
  20. It seems AOL uses Smiley Central by default to enable the use of smileys and emoticons. If it is, then please reinstall Smiley Central and see if it brings back the icon or not. :) Source Let us know if it helps or not. Good Luck. -- Goku
  21. Hello and Welcome to FPCH Bishop. :) Hope you enjoy your stay here. -- Goku

  23. That might be a pointer towards the cause of the problem but unfortunately, I don't understand any of the below. Perhaps someone with better knowledge of HTML might understand it. Meanwhile, have you tried the basic troubleshooting steps Microsoft recommends? If not, then please try them and see if they help or not. :) How to troubleshoot common Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and Windows Server Update Services installation issues -- Goku
  24. Please perform the following instructions and see if they help or not. 1. Open Internet Explorer, click on Tools and select Internet Options. 2.

Uncheck the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone checkbox and add the following sites to your Zone. You do this by simply typing in the addresses below into the field next to the Add button. https://*.microsoft.com http://*.microsoft.com Click OK to go back to the Internet Options window and click OK again to go back to your browser.
