I can't download that no matter which browser I use. IE11 just thanks me for downloading it but nothing opens and the file is nowhere to be found.

see with all that how many 7 users are duped in to thinking  'well I guess I better go 10? ' and the trap is sprung  ..lol...  they got it all figured out  .    the faster you go 10 the faster they can tell if your a I.S  member  [lol.. get it ? ]

OK, I got this to download using Firefox: KB 3153199
I stopped the Windows Update Service and it installed. Now we wait some more.
The bugger still won't start looking for updates unless I start it manually.

I had the same problem. After changing the routine parameters, the sys initiated the update. It's worth a try. Or you jump to another system recovery point. Or check 7 with the dvd and the repair option.

I'm busy Folding 'til Noon. After that I'll reinstall as a repair upgrade.

I'm using 64-bit Home Premium. I'll be done Folding around 12:10. In the meantime I might just flash the 4998 bios ans see what happens

Folding?

I do that "Folding at Home" stuff now and then. My twin 980s will normally put out near 1 million ppd and this 980 ti averaged 668,000 ppd. If I ran both PCs 24/7 I could do at least 1.5 million per day.

Is it about the Stanford University project?

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. I look around at all of the teams involved and I see more and more Folders dropping out. I too have lost my enthusiasm about it. Their Forum Mods are jerks. Students refuse to get involved as Moderators which tells me that there is no future in it. I personally think that the project is either dead or dying as its time has come and gone. It was a noble idea but there have been questions raised about conflict of interests when Dr. Pande got invlved with an investment capital company while remaing the head of Stanford's Folding Project. I really got tired of paying outrageous power bills while the Pharma companies cashed in on the research I was helping with for free. I decided it was better to walk away and I did.

Good luck with your Win7-issue. I think you should let the disc do the repair, or if you have the time make a new installation.

Just did the Upgrade Repair with the install disk. All installed Updates are now gone! Huh? After it finished it told me not to shut down until it was finished repairing my .NET Framework 4.0 and that stopped responding. I downloaded the .Net Framework repair tool from MS and it ran. Now I am getting some message again saying that "Setup has detected that the .NET Framework version 4 needs to be repaired. Do not retart until Setup is Complete." I just repaired it for crying out loud!

Ah, The many advantages of having a Second Cloned Backup Drive.....

LOL..... like I said  ''welcome to windows 10  '' ...  lol  they got it all figured out ..
 
I got a fresh win 7 home  on a drive that's never been activated or connected to the internet    I would try it to see what happens on my end , but  I don't know how that may affect the  copy on this drive   [same dvd and key ]  all on the same computer  ?  I don't guess its worth the risk  ??  I just don't recall if it needs to be activated to update ??   sure hate to screw myself some how
 
don't the latest .net  come with the latest NVidia drivers  ??   and with that cant you still get the .net's as a stand a lone down load ?

  I have noticed a few thing I use to get for 7 from Microsoft  like that now shows ''page not found ''  like ya, Microsoft removed them so you cant just get things anymore  so easy  ..
 
example  [where you use to get any single update  but funny with the latest IE 11 I still cant access the catalog  anymore like I use to ]
https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Thanks.aspx?id=140
 
now I have not tried this link  yet ? maybe be better if you install there  active x deal ??

I got that new ssd  and I don't want to clone never have ,  but all these thing like your getting prevents me form going ahead  cause if it goes bad for me and I go back to this drive  [platter]  will Microsoft then call it  non genuine  or void this copy and activation ??   sure don't want to be 100% out  ..   Microsoft really sunk to a new low over 10  and you not jumping all aboard with it  now you being punished  ..
 
like over at say toms hardware  plenty just like you and there fresh install of 7 . ''cant update'' ,  ''cant  ???''  ..    watch in a few months to a year  all the win 8/8.1 will get the same treatment  .   
 
'' look around at all of the teams involved and I see more and more Folders dropping out. I too have lost my enthusiasm about it ''
 
yup same here years ago   they sent me a e-mail telling me I need to  ''upgrade ''    really?   I spend  on this stuff  donate it to you  all at my cost  and its not up to your par anymore  and ''I'' need to  invest more  ?  maybe I just turn you off  and spend that cash on me for now on ??  so looks like beggers can be choosie . just not on my dime anymore ..
onr guy was telling me how he is going to build up a new x99  intel  and all this nice stuff just for them   cause he said his z87 was not good enough ??  [sucker]   so then thing what do they spend all there grant money on , administration ??   see they figured out  there grant money can be used for payroll   wile you  cover the computer running cost  and equipment.  ya there little e- mail struck me wrong  and made me think    

On a kinda funny but nice note - I got my Gigabyte 980 TI replaced since they couldn't fix the coil whine that had gotten much, much worse, and it OCs to 1500 on air (my Classy can only do 1500 for day to day gaming under water). Popped my Kraken X41 on it and it gets 1570MHz rock stable with some extra voltage. I couldn't seem to quite get 1600 stable.

Each GPU is a silicon lottery and some will clock higher than others but keep in mind that the classified 980ti is already clocked very high out of the box.

I found an old Seagate MomentusXT 500 GB drive and I made a System Image of this one. I might as well just restore it to 'that thing' then activate it using the correct key. Then I have all of my games, sofware and everything else already installed. I got nothing but time on my hands so if it doesn't work I'll just start over again. The only problem is I quit smoking using Chantix and I am really short tempered and cranky right now. BTW, I am looking for a 4998-KR BIOS to flash onto my Classified. Mine has Samsung memory but if you have a VBIOS with Hynix or Elpida I can still copy the voltage tables and clock speeds over to my original LN2 VBIOS. Thanks.
Side note: Every PC I built using Windows 7 starts searching for updates as soon as the Services starts. Not this one. It just sits here having a stare fight with me until I manually start it.

OC.net  has the OC Vbios/Nvflash/Classy Voltage Tool you need:
