Try this one then I think it better to use a If statement because if it not there then you will get error, with the If statement you can either surpress the standard error message or you can add a custom error message. I try to always use the If statement.

Try this

Nice Batch, Yzowl My question is how would you remove the shortday name that appears at the beggining of %D_%, I only ask because the poster wanted a format like this BackupLog08052007.txt. This is what I got when I ran the script Your date appendage is: Wed 05092007, could you use something like this to remove the shortname of the day on all locals. This produced on my machine Your date appendage is: 05092007 Would this work with all locals. This is how I would do it using VBS Script

Actually English is the only language I speak. Yzowl knowledge of batch surpasses my abilities in that language.

Here try this then add what you need to yours.

I believe it relies on this object as to what services it needs to run I do not know. With this object you can download and install the updates I believe.

I figure out the problem It was this line, it works fine on Vista, but on XP it would not work. So I change it to this on XP and it works New Code Save As ReportUpdates_V1.vbs

nothing else happens, looks like I should get an echo boxe with the installed updates, missing updates but nothing. Happens on two different machines. It takes a few minutes to process the script. This can not run on a network machine, this is ment for the local machine.

Here try this VBS Script it will list the installed updates and missing updates. I could have it in theroy download and install any missing updates. I have this so it will show the results in Cmd Promt Window. Save As ReportUpdates.vbs

The script failed because of this appead in the post do not know why it happen This is how it should be To run the app you need to fill in this area to have the app run

This will not work as it is not correct This will work as it is correct

I don't want SP2 because if something goes wrong, I won't be able to use installation CD as a rescue CD because it will become incompatible with SP2. And what you can advise in this situation, BartPE, or right to go and buy Vista together with a compatible computer in order to fix this shutting down problem? I guess reading is a lost art to you, because if you took the time to read you would have seen

Here a link to the app from ms go give it a read to see if it will help you. uphclean If that does not solve your problem then Download Service Pack2, it can unistalled if does not help you. Service Pack 2

It is the original Microsoft XP Home SP1 bootable CD. Please don't persuade me that upgrading to SP2 solves all the problems. I just want to fix shutting down. Can it be because of a firewall? Since I believe SP1 is no longer supported, I would install SP2 to see if it helps. Also Microsoft does have a application called uphclean.exe that may help with your issue.

I have 768 on my computer, but you are right 15 to 40 MB of ram to have a security software running is reasonable even with 512 of ram. If you have XP SP2 the firewall turned on by default. Microsoft released a fix for the RPC problem about a month before it happen. I remeber it because on Longhorn builds 4008 you had to use the XP fix to stop the problem. I agree with jcarle and Zxian to keep XP updated, jcarle know what he doing so we should take what he says seriously. Myself I only use XP or Vista firewall and IE and never had a problem. Jeremy does make a good point about it there money.

Try to change this &ALLUSERSPROFILE& to this %ALLUSERSPROFILE%

That was just a example of waiting for something to finish, plus it a habbit that I have for doing VBS to Cmd. The messagebox would not appear until the cmd session was over.

Depending on the app that he running a loop is not always needed. This runs Cmd promt hidden then when it finished the messagebox appears.

I sent you a pm on how to do this, but for other members hers is the shorten code.

Good for you, but I was replying to your comment on how one could be secure using IE. I'm just saying that its possible to use IE without third-party software and remain secure. The best option is, of course, to not use IE. Why not? I've never used anything other then IE. IE 5, 6 and now 7. I've never had any problems with it. I agree never had a problem using IE.

All I did was refresh the desktop and it was there. Try to refreshen the desktop to see if that helps.

Here is the list of services that I run on Vista Ultimate, I have the printer , updare service running. Here is the VBS Script that I used to list the Services.

This will add to the addto menu a new ccs template Save As AddCss.vbs

Yes it is possible VBS Script Intl_OpenClose.vbs Cmd Promt Intl_OpenClose.cmd

Vbs script to do what you want. Save As Intl.vbs Cmd Promt to do what you want Save As Intl.cmd
