This tip could be applied to any kind of Windows Update on windows XP be it manual update or automatic update.

A failure in updating could happen when you suddenly get disconnected or downloaded corrupted data which happens a lot. And it seems that there is no local check to ensure that the file is actually complete. It just attempts to install the downloaded material even if its not complete. The stupid thing is that even though you try to update again, it just checks the cache, see that its there and won't bother redownloading the files.

Therefore when you face such a scenario, you could take these steps to solve your problems:

1. Open Command Prompt by Start -> Run and type "cmd"
2. On the Command Prompt, type "net stop wuauserv". This is done so that you will terminate the windows automatic update service to allow us to delete the cache files
3. Still on the Command Prompt, type "cd /d %windir%" or "cd\windows"
4. Type "rd /s SoftwareDistribution"
5. Thats it, the cache has been purged. Now we need to restart the windows automatic update service again. To do that, type "net start wuauserv"

Thats all. Its simple right? Good luck.

Solution 1:

Try to remove it from Installed Updates:

1. Click on “Control Panel” in “Start menu”
2. Go to “Uninstall a program” in “Control Panel”
3. Click on “View installed updates” in “Programs and Features”
4. Right click on Update which reads Powershell and uninstall it.

Solution 2:

PowerShell is not present in the add/remove programs. I thought I had PowerShell deleted in Add/Remove Programs - but apparently it is still there and I cannot complete the In-Place upgrade on my Windows Vista.

I've got a Android Phone and I've noticed that when I check the status of my phone it shows my number as Unknown. I ask a friend to check on his HTC Desire that came from o2 and he has the same problem. Turns out this is due to the MSISDN setting not been set on the SIM by o2.

The networks will not set this for you as they will not understand.

Use +44.... format for your telephone number

Solution 1:

I had the same problem as described above with an Orange-branded Hero that I have unlocked and use on 3 but did find a solution. There is a SIM information application buried in the settings of Windows Mobile devices running 6.1 and above so I put my 3 SIM in an unlocked Kaiser and used this to alter the number recorded on the SIM. Once I put the SIM back in my Hero, the correct number was displayed in the phone status page under MSISDN.
 
The way to get at the SIM Manager application in Windows Mobile is as follows:

1. Open Contacts
2. Select Menu then SIM Manager
3. Select Menu in SIM Manager and then Tools/List of Own Numbers
4. The first page that pops up has an entry for My Number with the first number the SIM had when it shipped and with this selected, select Edit
5. Alter the number to the one you want it to read under MSISDN in the Hero then Save and close out of everything Once you put the SIM you have altered back in your Hero, it should now show the number you chose in the phone status screen. Obviously the down-side of this is that you have to have access to a Windows Mobile device but there may be an Android application for altering SIM information that would do the same trick.

Solution 2:

1. borrow a friend's iPhone
2. place SIM into the iPhone
3. and then set the MSISDN  through settings -> phone -> Own Number.

This does some thing if the condition is met. Also false and true outcome.

I'm not even sure if this is possible to get around but every time but when i try and extract a 4gb file using winrar to my D:drive, it creates a temporary file in c:\documents and settings. If i don't have a spare 4gb in my c: the operation aborts and fails. I can see the usage of this on a removable drive but not when i have all files on the same partition.Without manualy changing the "temp file folder" to the same drive as the destination, is there a way to get winrar to automatically use the same drive as the destination for creating its temp file?

As per me, WinRar and WinZip will create a temporary folder on C by default. But you can even change the location of temporary files in Options/Settings/Paths provide what you need. If that doesn't works, Right click on the first rar of the archive and click extract here. Winrar will extract to the exact location of the rars and will not create a temp file.On the other hand it may be a files format problem, if your hard drive is in the FAT32 format 4gig is the maximum folder size.. NTFS format however allows folders as big as the unused part of your hard drive, more info needed makavelli please.

This error appears when trying to load a website that uses joomla

There are numerous occurrences when pages with double slashes are being tracked as well as pages with single slashes despite them both delivering identical content. Obviously I would like page counts for "/index.php" to be included with "//index.php" and preferably have counts for "/" included too.

For the main Google Analytics page:

Check your profile settings, specifically, the "Default Page" Do you have "/index.php" in there? It should be "index.php"

After uninstalling the office 2010 beta you install full office 2010 (VL) and the activators will not work. They say it cannot be activated. 800...07d. You might also get error 25004, Error 25004. The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine

I tried uninstalling the software/micorsoft/office  registry key in HKLM and HKLU , alsolso protected storage ones. this did not seem to make any diffference.

The way to activated is to uninstall the beta and install a VL version, then change the key to:

VYBBJ-TRJPB-QFQRF-QFT4D-H3GVB

Make sure you are offline then run the activator, once completed you can then go online. You should also make sure that antivirus has an exclusion set up to make sure the office activator is not removed because it can get flagged as a virus. The activator runs as a service, this is normal because it constanly emulates a licenses server to allow use of the VL 2010.

You have one or more WAN Miniport that you cannot delete such as the ones below even if they are disabled. They will not reinstall either and usually have an exclamation mark on them

You might also experience error code 31.

• WAN Miniport (IP)
• WAN Miniport (IPv6)
• WAN Miniport (L2TP)
• WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
• WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
• WAN Miniport (PPTP)

Use the following commands to be carried out as the user Administrator (Run as Administrator) from Command prompt (cmd):

The following example will delete the WAN Miniport with a hardware ID of ms_sstpminiport.

netcfg -e -u ms_sstpminiport

To delete other failed WAN Miniports you have to find the Hardware ID for the Device from the Device Manager

• Open the Device Manager
• Selecting the Details tab
• select Hardware IDs from the drop down menu
• replace the hardware ID in the example above and run for each failed WAN Miniport
