Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)
We downloaded the sp2 when it sometime last year and it came with lots of problems.I finally had to go to microsoft and get them to help me uninstall it. I have not reinstalled sp2 because I am affraid to. Have they changed it and what happens if I install it and then have to "fix" things. I am not too advanced in my computer skills and I don't think I would be able to "fix" it.
I formatted the PC, reinstalled WIndows XP w/SP1. I've got Norton Personal Firewall and Norton ANtivirus installed, all up to date. I have Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware 6 installed, also all up to date. They catch nothing. Everything works peachy keen for a while, but then, I cannot open new instances of programs(such as IE or Firefox), taskmanager will not open on my screen(the the CPU meter appears in taskbar), and attempts to install programs while this is going on causes the isntall to hang, and things to get really messed. I even formatted agian, reiinstalled XP again, and it's STILL happening. I've downloaded all the security patches from Microsoft, except SP2 it hangs because of the problem stated above
"Install the ActiveX control required to view the website," but I don't get the bar saying to install it. None of the troubleshooting tips were relevant.
I have run live update and installed all updates OK except .NET Framework SP1.1 update.This will not install and there is no reason given why - it just says installation failed
When i click the turn off computer button it is supposed to install an important security update. The update thing never goes away even though it looks like the update has been installad.
On June 11 I was informed that updates were available for my computer. After doing an express install, I still got a message that updates were available. This time I did a custom install and only one update was available to install, i.e. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 [KB982168] so I did the install and was informed that the installation was sucessfull. However, the notification that this update was available appeared again. I went directly to the MS update site and again was informed that this update should be installed. Again,I successfully installed it, restarted the computer, only to get the update notification again. For some reason this update will not install even though it says that it does. I looked at my Add & Remove list of programs and found.
Every time I down load Microsoft updates and install them I get the message that update KB873339 could not be installed. Does any body know anything about this?
First off, I would like to note that I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 1 and it's a HP Desktop AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ Windows Update keeps showing me a message saying "This version of Windows XP is no longer secure. Please download Service Pack 2." So, I download Service Pack 2 and then I start the install and it backs up the files and stuff and when it's almost done, a message pops up and says "Access Denied". And then it says "Please undo all changes that has been made". I have tried it 2 or 3 times and it keeps doing the same thing.
I have window xp and i cant install the new java update it says something about it already being install but i remove basically everything. Related to java but one thing i still see is java auto updater 2.0.2.1 any advice thanks.
recently i downloaded 1 windows xp update through Automatic update ( i dont remeber what was it) After it completed its download...and when i tried to shutdown my PC, the box which comes showing the 3 buttons (Standby,Turn off,Restart), under it was written that "Turnoff the computer after installing the updates"...as it was normally displayed after installing the updates...The Problem is that after logging off (during shutdown process..) ,the screen which shows these messages "Installing Updates 1 of 1..." and "Do not Turn off or Unplug the PC..It will Turnoff Automatically..."..These messages keep on coming for a long time...i left my PC for 1 complete day..but still this update is not installing neither it is turning off my computer..Again if iam forcefully restarting my PC ..then the next time when i want to turnoff the same cycle happen
WinXP SP2 home This system was loaded with malware such as Websearch, Wintools, Myway, and Ebates. I cleaned it out by:
1) Emptying %temp% 2) Disable System Recover 3) Reboot 4) AdAware SE Personel 5) Reboot 6) SpyBot 7) Reboot 8) HiJackThis 9) Reboot 10) housecall.trendmicro.com (new Beta version) 11) Reboot 12) Empty %temp% 13) Re-enable System Recover
I have re-run AdAware, Spybot, Housecall and even done a WinXP CD repair with all reporting that everything should be OK. Still, whenever I open Explorer (either one) and each different folder in Windows Explorer a couple of succesive "Windows Installer" windows pop up with "Preparing to install" and then they close without anything else. Also, there is very little that can be installed now. Norton Internet Security reports that it can't be installed now. Windows Update gives an error after you tell it to install the updates or display the detailed updates. Sun's Java says that there is another install that has to be finished first. Messenger says that it has a new version that has to be installed before you can use it but after it runs for a while it reports that it can't be installed.
i am presently trying to help a friend get his system running efficiently. His windows update icon is permanently displayed in is task bar and every time he tries to install the critical updates (there are presently 16 of them) the install fails.We have tried installing individually but again every time the update fails.He appears to have not updated since December last year.
I have never had a problem before with windows updates. however, It says I need to download that windows validation tool so I click on it to download and install and it goes through everything like it should then says it failed to install, 4 times now it comes up error 0X80070005 I went through the thing where Microsoft is suppose to help you they get info and then help you solve it, I stilll haven't heard a thing from them. The funny part is that I downloaded the windows defender (Microsoft Antispyware) and to do so I had to go throught the windows validation and no problem it went through it and I downloaded it. Is that the same thing as this windows update? anyway I can't find error 0X80070005 can anyone help because I got thinking that I haven't had any windows updates for awhile I wonder if I can't get any until I get this downloaded? Any help would be appreciated
So for some reason the windows update entitled "Security Update for Windows XP(KB927779) Just will not install. Or at least thats what Im guessing. The windows update shield prompts me in my system tray that I need to install the update, so I do, and it says update complete. Then about 15 seconds late the Update shield appears again in my system tray asking me to install this same update.
I inadvertently downloaded SP3, but I don't want to install it because of all the problems I've read with its installation; so, how do I delete the downloaded file? Where is it on my hardrive? Also, ever since it's been "sitting" downloaded but not installed, I haven't gotten any new notifications of any more recent XP updates. (I have it set to ask me if I wish to download new updates)
I dont usually receive problems from microsoft updates, but this one is getting on my nerves a bit. See, I am at a college in california, and there is this program called "Cisco Clean Access" which is like a toll booth to use the internet here. You have a student ID and a password.for some reason, the campus administrators changed Cisco Clean Access so that it requires everyone to update their computers, mainly PC people. I just got my desktop up and running after installing 2 new GPU's and a PSU, and am now updating it. I have the updates, but one of them is giving me some lip! here "Updates were unable to be successfully installed.

I've recently repaired my OS (yes, as in repaired in boot setup via the CD...) and now Windows Update doesn't seem to work anymore!
Automatic Updates or manual updates, it doesn't seem to make a difference, I have downloaded all the critical/high priority updates from Microsoft Update, but every time I try to install them, the message reads simply 'Some of the updates could not be installed' (ie: ALL of them! - see attached images)
Hi i am unable to install update KB979683. I am getting a response of failed time after time.Is anybody able to help me please?I have had no other issues when installing updates previously.
I have windows XP service pack 2. Yesterday I clicked my automatic update reminder and contemplated weather or not I wanted IE7, I ended up clicking yes, so it downloaded. I did not install the update yet. While talking to an associate on the phone I mentioned that I never get yahoo IMs from her anymore, she said she cant access yahoo messenger ever since she installed IE7 and had other problems with IE7, she uninstalled it but said her IE6 is now acting weird also. Bottom line, I do not want to install IE7 after doing some recent research on it. How do I remove it from my computer so that I dont accidentally install it?
I can't install windows installer from the Win update site. I get the Error Code: 0x80070005. I am trying to install 893803 (v2) as selected by win update. It will start installing then quit about 3/4s way through. I also get these messages...KB893 803 v2 Setup Access is denied. And KB893803 v2 setup installation did not complete.I have win xp home sp2. I recently reinstalled the OS and am trying to update it.
So i went to the update page to try and install them but the search bar just keeps searching without giving me any info. I let it run for an hour then closed it.
I have tried windows update and microsoft update both have the same result.
I have a broardband connection and have never had to wait this long before.
Yesterday I got a notice from microsoft that a critical update was ready to install. I downloaded the update after closing all other open windows. After the installation was complete it restarted the computer after which my compter would not completly boot up. I had to boot in safe-mode and do a system restore to get it working right. Today I have the same notice so I went to the windows update page, and saw the update was there. I didn't download it because of what happened before. So I went to my installed update history and it said it was successfully updated. I looked at the update again and it said the update was 0 kbs. Can you tell me what happened and why now the up date says 0 kps to be installed?
Last Tuesday's (Critical Update) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748) A security issue has been identified that could allow a remote attacker to misrepresent a system action or behavior unbeknownst to users on Microsoft Windows systems. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft.
The next time that you run a scan at the Windows Updates/Microsoft Updates site, you should be prompted to install the new update to the WGAVT. Once you do, it'll replace version 1.3.0254.0 with version 1.5.512.0.
AFTER APRIL 11TH, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT UPDATES FOR MICROSOFT PRODUCTS FOR XP?) Let's say for example that it is now April 12th, and a security patch is released for OE 6. Could we just do the following: 1) Go to www.microsoft.com 2.) Individually select the product to update or patch to install (I.E my hypothetical OE 6 question) than download and install the patch? IS EVERYONE RUNNING XP GOING TO BE PROMPTED WITH SOME MESSAGE SAYING: "ATTENTION: SP-2 IS REQUIRED FOR ALL XP UPDATES." OR, DOES THIS SP-2 MANDATORY APPLY ONLY TO RUNNING WINDOWS UPDATE OR AUTOMATIC UPDATE, meaning that we can still download individual product enhancments by going to www.microsoft.com and selecting by product or service?
i need to install a windows media update to put music on my mp3 i get a message that it cannot be found when i tried to go to microsoft updates to get service pac 2 i cannot get it to open it says it is taking too long it is timed out.
My automatic updater keeps telling me I need to install the latest security update for Net Framework 1.1. I've tried a number of times and always get a failure report. The logs say Ox643 is the error code. Looking this up on the MS site was no help. Any ideas about how to get past this? I really don't need Net Framework ( I think), so would un-installing it be an option to remove the nuisance reminders about updating it?
1) i bought it with service pack 1, when i downloaded and installed service pack 2 from the good old windowsupdate site, things started getting funkky.
2) i can no longer install any new updates from the update site. i can download them but when the install part starts, i get errors and asks me to debug them.makes no sense to me.
3) more problems. randomly, my computer screen will sometime go comepletely blue, white white typewriter font, (a windows message) and it will say...blah blah error restart if its ur first time seeing this message.check recently added programs/hardware and contact their manufacturers if uve already seen this message.then it lists some numbers and it poops on me.
4)random popups saying i have memory loss / missing files - they will ask me to debug them or end them.then i have to send ANOTHER stupid error report to windows, yes those are a pain in.
5) my aol instant messenger has problems as well whenever i log off and close aim, i get errors about it saying i need to close it or debug it but i already closed it. sometimes it says im missing files from aim. but how? even when i just installed it
6) sometimes it says my files in win32are pooped.and i get weird errors like warning messages and all this weird crap.
well my window updates from microsoft wont install and it would say it cannot be installed even if i manually install it from microsoft's site...i tried restarting my computer and turning it off but the updates wont install...well heres wat it says: "Updates were unable to be successfully installed:The following updates were not installed:Security Update for Windows XP (KB913446)
