What does this message mean?

[felly]

Since I installed some extra memory in my laptop I get this message when I log in "Microsoft Network Inspection System stopped working and closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available". What does it mean and is it important?

[VHG]

Funnily enough I have been getting this message the last couple of days on my Vista PC.

I have added no memory to my PC, and the message just seems to have started appearing on its own.

Must admit I have not done any research yet about trying to fix it.

[VHG]

I have just done a little bit of research and it seems a few people are getting it.

It MAY be related to recent Windows Updates and possible Microsoft Security Essentials.

I DO run Microsoft Security Essentials.

Do you run Microsoft Security Essentials?

[felly]

Yes VHG I do have Microsoft Security Essentials. I have just checked and three recent updates to MSE failed to install.

[felly]

Think installing the memory was just a coincidence.

[felly]

Never quite sure what to do about updates that fail - any advice appreciated. The three that failed were optional so does that mean I can forget about them?

Run the troubleshooting and repair your updates as some are corrupt then try to reinstall the failed ones.You should have SP1 installed if you have Windows 7

How do I reinstall the failed ones? I can't find an option to do this. I have Vista but I do have SP1 installed.

[galeck1947]

You should also have SP2 for Vista installed as well if you haven't then that will be a good place to start. SP1 for Vista is no longer supported and main stream support for Vista will cease in April of next year as Windows 8 will be released.You should consider upgrading to Windows 7

[felly]

Have just checked and I do have SP2. My friend has Windows 7 and doesn't like it. Updates to MSE only started to fail on the 12th August - all had successfully installed before that so I can't understand what has changed to cause this problem.

I had a lovely strawberry milk shake in Sainsbury's cafe today. I watched it being made. Lots of ice cubes were put in the jug, fresh strawberries added, milk added and then it was blended. Does anyone know of a domestic machine which will do this? I have looked on the Internet but can't find one that will crush ice cubes as part of the milk-shake making process.

Sorry got mixed up with my categories - will transfer this.

Thanks boxtops. I had a look at this but as I am not very technology savvy, got a bit confused and when I clicked on the link for help I got a message saying the article relates to a different version of Windows to the one I am using so I am stumped. I don't even know whether I have a 32 or 64 bit system and I know I could find this out but am telling you this so you know how limited my knowledge is :(

[boxtops]

Go to both the web sites, then download both of the updates, only one will install, the other will be flagged up as unsuitable for your system... http://www.microsoft....owToMSE.aspx#MSE32bit
http://www.microsoft....owToMSE.aspx#MSE64bit


Hope this helps!

[felly]

Oh - OK :)

[felly]

I think I've done that OK but as soon as I'd finished it I got the same original message as in my original question ie "Microsoft Network Inspection System stopped working and closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available".
