View 3 RepliesI was checking my system when I realised my win xp has not had any security patch updated since Feb 05! A closer check discovered that instead of auto updating as I had assumed, it failed. When I tried to update, it feedback:
Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue: Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem
When I clicked the first one, it proceeded to download 100%, register 100% and then went back to the update page. I click "express" and it comes to the above error page again. Continues in this loop. Clicking the second option above brought me through endless useless "help" pages that seem to tell me nothing and offered no real solution.
I applied the 7/13 security patches last night and when manually shutting down this morning, got the blue screen of death. Had to leave for work so not sure what will happen next, but I have had these before with previous security patches.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for the SP2 TCP/IP connection patch from a reliable source. I looked around here at TSG and did not really find anything useful, but i do totally suck azz at searching. What i would really like is a patch that only allows like.20 connections instead of 10. I don't need unlimited or 100 connections, for that defeats MS purpose of this.To slow the spread of virus's. But 10 is just a bit too little for myself b/c i keep getting the connection limit errors in my event viewer.

It it is not set to read-only, it is not in my Firefox's browser downloads list, as I applied the setting of auto-clean up downloads, and I removed it from the list. The thing is that it is looking stupid on my desktop. A stupid pointless block iconed execute file. I made a copy of it and renamed it but still I cannot delete it!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to install the unauthorized WMF hotfix patch but keep getting that my system is not compatible with it. Once it said there was a problem with the windows installer package. I have Windows XP home. I used to have Service Pack 2 but removed it because of errors I was getting. Since removing it back in November, I have had no more errors. I now only have Service Pack 1. I do, however, still have some Service Pack 2 updates installed. I don't know why it says my system is not compatible with the patch. I did unregister the picture & fax viewer as suggested by Microsoft.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAFTER 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 know that many in this group support downloading Windows XP updates.Personally,I download and install ONLY what is absolutely necessary, which for me has avoided problems with smooth running systems. There has been much media attention the past couple of days about the Zotob worm, I.E., PnP and compromised Windows security.I know that there is a patch available for download at the Microsoft web site WindowsXP-KB899588-x86-ENU.exe
