| 1381687 | 2014-08-16 07:23:00 | Have a feeling this was on a domain. I checked the registry and the WU server was 192.168.1.200 so I deleted it. Also stopped the WU service, renamed the softwaredistribution folder, then started the service again. So far so good it's checking for updates. 26 updates came up. Just have to see if they install now. Then may have to reboot to see if this managed by your system admin disappears |

| 1381688 | 2014-08-16 07:28:00 | Well done Speedy. What do I owe you? Hopefully now it'll run the projector with powerpoint - that's what i bought it for. I haven't got the projector here so can't check the connection. |

| 1381689 | 2014-08-16 07:29:00 | "Sometimes" the update folder gets corrupted and no amount of fixing in the world will repair it. Had to do this many times, when all else fails. Sometimes works sometimes not. Open a command prompt, click start, type in CMD, right click the result / Open as Administrator. When it opens, type in net stop wuauserv close the CMD window once it says its done. Got to My Computer/ C Drive/ Windows, locate the SoftwareDistribution Folder, right click it - Delete You can now do one of two things, open a CMD again and type in net start wuauserv or reboot, (I normally reboot) Now manually try windows update again. If it doesn't work then theres some other cause. Edited: SNAP basically he same thing Speedy did. |

| 1381690 | 2014-08-16 07:30:00 | I've disabled auto restart (dont use anything to remove temp files) so we can see what the crash says Straka. Try connecting the projector again after a reboot. We'll see what happens / what it says (if it does crash) WU is working now WT. After I deleted 192.168.1.200 in the registry. It's installing 15 updates of 25 now. Will reboot it after |

| 1381691 | 2014-08-16 07:35:00 | Damn strange the WU was set to a Local LAN IP, this would indicate the laptop WASN'T freshly installed as it says in the Trademe Advert --- As I mentioned earlier, something didn't seem quite truthful. :) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1381692 | 2014-08-16 07:37:00 | It looks like windows update was trying to update from 192.168.1.200? Since this ip was alongside WU server in the registry. We'll see if managed by system admin disappears after the reboot | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381693 | 2014-08-16 07:37:00 | So if the updates don't fix the bluescreen issue you may need to use the windows driver verifier to isolate the troublesome driver, then use an alternate one, assuming there is such. support.microsoft.com I am picking a conflict between graphics drivers and projector, personally. |

| 1381694 | 2014-08-16 07:38:00 | As I said, the projector is 15 miles away & not available to connect to.... however, I guess we can run the software & see what happens? | straka01 (310) | ||
| 1381695 | 2014-08-16 07:40:00 | No harm in trying. See what happens. And what are you using to connect to it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381696 | 2014-08-16 07:42:00 | As I said, the projector is 15 miles away & not available to connect to. Loooooooooooooooong Cable ? :D | wainuitech (129) | ||
