My system has not been able to install MS Updates for some time. I have been trying to solve the problem with the recommendations listed in this group. I have run the bat files listed started and restarted the incryption service with auto on. In the process I have discovered that my system does not have the update.inf file. It isn't present even in a cab file. I will probablyh have to run some process to build it.

Finding the exact driver for your update.inf-related hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the Microsoft or related manufacturer's website.

So I had to find which drivers I need by searching the Device Instance Id. I found a driver,Atheros AR5B95 Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g/n Controller, but when I go to the website,.

I have tried to have the auto update installed but that won't happen because the site already sees it installed. Question: what process installs update.inf? I am running XP with SP3.

I have also noticed that I cannot display my application, security, and system event logs. Thanks_Grantcounty Shenan Stanley 12.04.10 18:33.

In particular, your (things you created) documents (word, excel, powerpoint, open office, wordperfect, etc), Internet Favorites/Bookmarks, emails, contacts, pictures/photos/images, music/pother audio, installation files (executables), serial numbers and product keys, databases, etc and so on? Best if you also have some sort of full image of the drive on your computer, but if you have at least your stuff, the rest can be rebuilt around that. Here's my suggestion - it's a procedure, not a 'do this and try again, if that doesn't work, do this and try again' - but a 'do this, this, this, this, this and this and then try' thing.

The picture at the top of the window that opens will give you the general (Operating System name and edition) while the line starting with the word 'version' will give you the rest of the story. Post _both_ in response to this message verbatim.

No paraphrasing - instead - ensure character-for-character copying. What version of Internet Explorer are you currently using? Easy to find out. Open Internet Explorer and while that is in-focus, press and hold the 'ALT' key on your keyboard.

With the 'ALT' key still pressed, press (just once, no holding) the 'H' key. Now, with the 'ALT' key still pressed, press (just once, no holding) the 'A' key. That will bring up the 'About Internet Explorer' window. It will give you the exact version you are using - repeat what you see there in response to this message.

It only removes those you definitely do not need, if you follow the directions *as given* and do not deviate.
