Re: Unstable

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Today, Dec. 18, I found a correlation to my problem. My "Windows OneCare"
suddenly change the color of its task bar icon to red. The cause was that
the "Automatic Update" function wasn't on (It is always on, but something is
turning it off). So I turned it on, and when I opened the "Windows Update"
program it was also in red with the following message: "Always intall the
latest updates to enhance your computer's security and performance"

And my "View your update history" list was blank, -cero- updates were in it.
I clicked the "Check for updates" button and all my old updates were
available for me to download.

Yes it was from this forum, if I recall. And yes it was an Update. I went to
the link you gave me and it is the same patch/update that I downloaded on
Dec. 13th. Let me rephrase everything. Before I installed that update
(Windows6.0-KB942903-x86) I couldn't download nor install 4 languague packs
(Italian, Spanish, Chinese HongKong RAR and Korean). After I installed the
update only 2 of those languague packs were installed: Italian and Korean.
Thus there were 2 remaining, but the "Windows Update" program became very
unstable.

For example, it erased the "View your update history" list, by itself --on
the other hand, at the bottom left of the green/blue frame there is a
category named "See Also" which has "Installed Updates" options. I clicked
it and it showed me every update I have done using "Windows Update" since I
installed Windows Vista Ultimate--.

***But how could I repair my "Windows Update" so I can install those 2
remaining Languagues and to make it stop erasing the "View your Update
History" list?***

You need to contact the folks who supplied the HotFix. It was obtained
from Microsoft, correct ?

Or, do you mean the UPDATE, Windows6.0-KB942903-x86.msu that you
downloaded from:

I addressed a certain problem that my Windows Update had. It kept giving me
the same updates everytime. So I hid those "new" updates. After that I could
installed all the Languague packs I needed except 2 the Spanish and Chinese
Languague Pack so I searched for a solution. I installed a HotFix
(Windows6.0-KB942903-x86) and since then my Windows Update is completely
unstable including my Windows Explorer. It erases the Update History List and
is still giving me the option to install updates (such as Windows DreamScene)
that I have already installed. What should I do.
