@ Sky Ranch, Everything is working good now since the second attempt. Much appreciate your help on this topic. Cheers

Suppose to be OEM as far as I know of. I think that's what I'll do and see how it goes. Cheers

Still no joy. I'm wondering whether I'm missing something. I have an ASUS P5B Motherboard, suppose to support x64. I use to have XP, then went to Win7 no problems and did have Win8.1 and updated no probs. This happened prior to using Active Kill due to a bad bug. Since installing Win8.1 making...

@ Sky Ranch, I've downloaded and installed the files in correct order, successfully installed. Went to updates, after 8 hours the pc still showed the green bar . I'm at a lost as to why it wont connect to Microsoft's update server / Page, going anywhere else on the internet is no problem except...

Ok, Thanks for clarifying, I'll see how it goes. Cheers

@ Sky Ranch, Thanks for your reply. I did download KB2919355 (about 650Mb)as per Bat's instructions, When I tried to install it, message popped up saying it's already installed. KB3172614 ? I'm certain I downloaded it and tried to install, message popped up saying, not suitable for my pc. I...

I've just read the topic referred to "Windows Update Never Completes". Not sure if that's the same issue I have. Mine just does not want to communicate with or download from Microsoft. Sure, I can go on the internet , no probs and download from other places but not from Microsoft updates.

Hi, I have installed Windows 8.1 with media centre and Office Enterprise 2007. Both successfully installed, however for the last 3 days it keeps looking / searching for updates from Microsoft Server / Update Centre but has never downloaded anything. I had to do a fresh install so I know...

Hi Brink, I done a system restore, good and bad result, good result is the problem has been resolved. I have managed to successfully set the homepage as to what it was suppose to be , The bad result is the system restore took all of the software I installed, Easy enough to put back on but time...

Hi Brink, I could try a System Restore and see what happens. I've only just done a back up image 3 or 4 days ago. Hope there has been a system restore point created before things went pear shaped. I'll let you know how it went. Cheers, Bondy99

Hello Brink, Thanks for replying, A good question, I'm not sure if I have any additional toolbars unless I have placed a tick in the box on something I've downloaded and installed. My pc was working good and had no homepage issues until I installed a cracked version of Minitab v17.2.1 , that's...

Hi ARC1020, Yes, you are correct, I did realise the error in the address, I had corrected the spelling but still defaults back to standard msn.com

I have search a similar topic in this forum. I followed the advice given in that thread and none of that advice resolves my issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this a case of "too hard basket"?

Hi, I have Windows 8.1 and have changed the home page to be nine.msn.com. However each time I close IE and reopen, again I get the msn.com homepage , no matter what I do and try I cant seem to get rid of it. I have used Norton Internet Security, Super AntiSpyware, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, all come...
