My windows 7 computer won let me update any programs or install new programs it will download but when it goes to install a window pops up. Here is what happens when i try to install Firefox, the window that pops up at the top says C:UsersWIN7~1AppDataLocalTemp7zSB882.tmpsetup.exe then below that it says The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. That message pops up when i try to install anything.
I've heard many people saying you can install Windows 7 upgrade version straight onto an blank computer (just to be clear on what i'm saying, i mean a brand new computer that has never had an OS installed on it in its lifetime).
I'm out of ideas. I've been running Win 7 on this machine for more than a year without issues in updating etc. Now it will not search or update/install critical items. I'm running Symantec (even tried turning the firewall off without any success). I get an error code 80072F7C. When I run hijackthis, I get an error message that my system denied write access to the Hosts file. I proceed with the scan but am unable to produce a log file. I've included a screenshot from the windows update error as well as the error I get when trying to run hijack this.
My computer won't actually save any updates. Everytime I reboot my computer I get prompted to update Java, Firefox, virus protection, etc... I have done the updates and rebooted the computer right afterwards, but then it acts like it never got the update.
Every few days my computer will wake from sleep in the middle of the night and to find out why I check lastwake from the command prompt and got this in attachment. I looked in WMC and didn't find any auto updating turned on. How do I turn this off? I really don't use WMC that much and don't need it waking my computer to update.
I've got a problem with a windows update that won't install.I get an error code of 57E. The update is for Office2003.I tried the troubleshooting for updates but my browser (Firefox) crashes when I try to use it. I did some research about error code 57E and the cure had to do with repair of registry.
The latest Windows update just does not install, it goes until 35% then the puter shuts down and reboots.I tried with the "Fixit" tool from Microsoft, but it doesn't help at all.I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit?
Everytime I close the system, I get the message that windows is installing an update but it doesn't update and this has been going on for 2 months. It is a critical update so I can't delete it before I power down. I have updated all my drivers so don't know what to do next. I'm running windows 7 64 bit.
For some reason the driver for my large format scanner will not install stating it is missing a file in the TEMP folder, however when I open it it is there. (It stopped working, along with my other printer drivers at the update) I tried shutting off firewall entirely, and turning on read/write permission on the user folder but nothing avails. I even did a system restore but could not go back beyond the first update which is where the problem started I guess. Also the Remove or restore function of the installer shows same error.
32-bit Windows 7 laptop will not install this update. I have tried all the Fix Its and methods I can think of and I'm still not able to install this update. Is anyone else having this problem?

Before the Update, my computer was super fast. Every application I opened showed up almost instantly. After the update, the same applications that used to show up instantly take a lot longer to show...1) How do I disable Automatic Updates for Hardware/Drivers?2) I think I uninstalled the updates I downloaded yesterday... But my computer still isn't at its normal speed.
I have just installed a new hard drive to my computer as well as a fresh install of Windows 7,to my surprise after updating everything and installing programs, my computer suddenly hangs and crashes, after time this developed into BSOD,which now constantly happens. Not entirely sure why, whether it's a driver issue or what. If anyone can look into this and help my problem then.
After installing nvidia driver 285.62 my pc just goes black after windows loading screen. I tried backrolling the driver, but still nothing. Im positive its the nvidia driver, after I uninstalled it in safe mode I had no problems booting. I'm using SLI setup with 2x GeForce 9800 gt on a Asus p67 B3 revision MB with i5-2500 processor.
Any time I go to the windows start menu to shut off the PC, windows will shut off but leave the fans and LEDs (probably the hardware as well) on and running. I can of course just flick the power switch and it will shut off, and I can also turn the PC off manually by simply holding the power switch, but it would be nice if windows would just shut the computer off. I am fairly positive this isn't a hardware issue even though I did just get a new system as this issue was not happening until Windows updated to service pack 1. It may have been one of the other updated that went with it, but I think SP1 may be the culprit. System is as follows:AS Rock Extreme 4 Z77 i5 3570 Gigabyte GTX 670 16GB G-Skill RAM "F3-1600C9D-16GXM" M4 Corsair 256 GB SSD (Boot Drive)
Yesterday evening, 14 Dec., when shutting down the computer, 10 updates were received. This morning, 15 Dec., when booting up for the first time, I was presented with the green screen that said "Preparing to Configure Windows. Do not turn off your computer." It has been sitting there like that for over an hour and a half. I think something may have gone wrong
I am writing this windows safe mode.Cannot get computer to boot in reg mode. Sat for 40 minutes, with message "please wait while windows configures"Am running windows 7, 64 bit home, Dell Inspiron 570 It started yesterday when it downloaded updates for Windows. After the restart, the computer screen looked strange and could not open any programs. Went to "start" and re-booted, same thing happened again. I again went to start, this time it came up with 2 errors. (wish I had wrote them down) but said something about windows cannot find such and such. (sorry) Anyway, clicked on the "X" and windows came up again, but nothing would open. Had to hard boot as the start button would not even work.Rebooted into safe mode and have tried to return to a previous restore point. Seems I don't have any. So can't do that. I did go go to the recent installed windows updates and deleted them. But will not let me change the settings as in: Don't install updates automatically. I don't know if it is trying to install those over and over again. I tried to get it to come up again with the errors, but no such luck, it just sits with the blue welcome screen, then the "please wait"
my computer turned off while doing a system update when I turned it back on there was an error with a hibernation file now it wont load past the starting windows screen I've tried a system restore and system repair.

2. Tried downloading from Intels website--->Got error message saying my computer does not meet minimum specs for program to run, which is BS because my computer is very good and is only 1 year old.
on Windows 7 machines? I would like to avoid customers from having to do a manual update on hundreds of machines. I was hoping there is some tool that can do that. I go the cab file from the Windows Update Catalog.
I keep getting a Windows installer pop-up saying that "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue....." I click "Ok," and the pop-up goes away but comes back. I'm not trying to install anything, and I don't know what program may be trying to install or update or whatever it's doing. Is there a way to find out what program it is so I can get it to stop?
