I am using a Dell, Windows XP Professional laptop computer. It has a non- wireless connection to the internet via my LAN.Last week, the yellow update "shield" icon appeared in my systray and I updated Windows - the update was completed. Since then, the update shield icon has appeared in my systray four times. I installed the update each time, but it seems to have been the same update each time ("KB 967715"). If it is the same update each time, which it seems to be, why would the update "shield" appear in my systray four times within a week and a half to install the same update
I'm trying to install the Microsoft Update Icon onto my start menu but It doesn't seem to work. I got muweb.dll and the other data one, but I can't run them as an app.
I received an update message icon from microsoft. The updates included security for Windows 2000, which is my OS system, and Malicious Removal Tools. Before the installation of these updates, the wired Internet connection in my computer was OK. However, after I installed these updates, my wired Internet connection failed. I tried to restart my computer, updated driver for my network card 3 COM 3C920B-EMB, but I could not re-establish the Internet connection. the wireless Internet connection at my sister's computer was OK, the wired Internet connection at my friend's computer was also OK
Windows update shield informs me I need to install Office XP SP3. I click on it, but the installation hangs up halfway through asking me to insert the Office XP CD - which I don't have.
Went to Microsoft download page and clicked on full file version (SINCE I don't have the CD), but still get the request to insert the CD halfway through the installation. Since I can't complete the download, the update icon pops up every time I log on. Any suggestions?
Computer runs on Windows XP Home SP2. Since the last two or three monthly Window updates, that yellow shield icon - the Windows Update icon - no longer shows up in the system tray. I tried to locate it under "previous elements" (I'm translating from German since my computer language is in German), but it's not there. I only know when Window updates have been downloaded when I want to shut down the computer and I have the option to either first install the updates, after which the computer will shut down automatically, or shut down the computer without installing the updates.
Just recently, Windows Defender has been displaying an Exclamation Point over it's icon in the system tray. I looked into it and it seems that it wants new definition files.I tried updating the definitions but for some reason it just acts like its trying to update but never does.I'm thinking this may have some thing to do with Windows Genuine Disadvantage.

"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.
After installing and running MSE I have been unable to update definitions either manually or automatically. At the same time I noticed that microsoft automatic updates are getting to around 28 percent and then stopping - not fully downloading or installing. I cannot get through to any microsoft websites now - but all other sites are fine. wuauserv and bits are missing from services also. Have I been sneakily virused by something which MSE hasnt picked up. I tried to run malicious software removal tool - it downloads alright but wont install - says its not a valid win32 application. I correctly downloaded the 32bit app. Can anyone shed some light on any of this. I dont want to rebuild again and again.
wen i turn on my laptop it keeps goin on 3 of 3 updates but does not install updates .then turns of an repeats all over again .an wont recignise cd/reboot factory instalationhelp
I recently formated and restored windows to how it was when I bought it. Everything was ok except for updating using the Windows Update feature. I have it on, but when I go to the updating windows its not doing anything. Its suposte to scan, but its not scanning since it takes forever. On my other computer, it works in seconds.
My computer has automatic update on it but it hasent been updateing lately so i went to windows update and found all the new updates for my computer and clicked "install New Updates" and it went to the download screen and said "Error Download Failure"
I would like to know how to uninstall an update that was performed by Windows Update.The update itself was in the "Hardware, Optional" Type list (ie. not the"High Priority"or the"Software,Optional" list)The update that was installed shows up in the History log correctly I believe that Microsoft incorrectly scanned the computer and assigned a hardware update that pertained to a different type of hardware ... specifically, the update pertained to an "IBM Thinkpad UltraNav Pointing Device" whereas the actual hardware is a Toshiba Satellite with a Synaptics Touchpad".
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
Windows Update keeps trying to update Office 2003.I have a trial version of Office 2003 that came with my computer.I do not want it at this time, but I may want it at some point in the future.I don't know if it can be hidden from the Windows update but if not, I am not sure how to fully get rid of it. It has never been "installed."Windows update fails every time, of course, because it isn't now nor has it ever been installed.The biggest problem is that it keeps trying to apply the same updates over and over and over. It slows down the shutdown as it repeats the attempt(s) 3 times before each shutdown and also it keeps downloading the same and or other Windows Updates for Office 2003
I'd seen some discussions in this group about removing icons from the systray but that requires stopping the program from being executed by Startup using the 'msconfig' command.Is there a method/program of removing the icon from systray but leave the associated program running? Unfortunately, the program I'm running doesn't have an option to remove it from systray.
I am wondering if there is a way in windows nt to hide the systray icons. Or hide the Yahoo Messenger systray icon. I would donate if someone provided the resolution for my question.
I have a hp laptop with winxp pro media center Edition service pack 2. Windows update keeps redirecting me to mac update site any ideals why it would be doing this?

in my start menu -> all programs there is windows update and another called microsoft update. the icon for the windows update is the usual blue globe with the windows (4 colours emblem, its the one on your "start" button) and the icon for microsoft update is an image of a computer and an arrow pointing downwards.
in IE service pack 1, i clicked on the windows update on the tools tab on the menu bar. this loaded an empty page of the browser. this is the same when i click on windows update on the start menu -> all programs. however when i click microsoft update, it takes me to the update page where i could download my service packs and 'express' and 'custom' installations. i traced the application which triggers the windows update and its from the system32 = wupdmgr.exe. i traced the application which triggers the microsoft update and its also from the system 32 = muweb.dll,LaunchMUSite. is the windows update now obsolete, unusable and just but a dead-end function. and is microsoft update now the site that replaces the what-used-to-be windows update?
I use a toshiba satellite R/15 series and for some reason I have been unable to install any of the Windows updates that were downloaded on my computer. The installer just tries to install for about 5 minutes, is unable to, and then just says it is unable to be successfully installed.
I recently reformatted my laptop's hard drive. After reinstalling windows and all necessary drivers, my Windows Update is now always telling me I have updates ready to install. When I click on the icon in the taskbar, it starts installing. When it finishes, the icon goes away. However, 2 seconds later, the icon comes up again saying I have updates ready to install. The update I always need to install is MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (925672) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 Security Update (KB927978).
I woke up this morning to my two XP machines now connecting to the internet or my network. The other Vista compueters are fine. I have tried to unistall the patch but no such luck.
"Window found 1 update for your computer!" the little yellow shield with an exclamation mark keeps telling me....even after I've installed the update like 10 times now. Anyone know what could be the problem, and eventually how I could fix this?

When I try to update windows, I clck express, then I need to verify my copy of windows. When I click verify, another window comes up for "The Updates Are Being Downloaded And Installed" However it just hangs for 2 minutes and then it states "Failed To Install" I can't get any windows updates now. This just started approx. 2 months ago. I disabled firewall, and even tried in safe mode to no avail.
My latest windows update won't seem to update properly - it starts then stops and comes up with the following message Updates were unable to be successfully installed The following updates were not installed
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB886903)
For example, on one of my workstations WU (the latest, v6) can't update Office 2003 or Visio 2003. On another XP Pro machine with SP2, WU can't apply "Security Update for Windows XP (KB901214)." On that machine, I see it's been trying since the patch (the color control) was released. Automatic Update always fails. My manual effort also fail. I don't see anything in either the history or the logs that would shed light on *why* the updates fail. If it matters, Installer 3.1 is installed.
ALL my desktop (Except wall paper) disappears for about 5/6 secs then reappears as if nothing has happened. Taskbar, start button, icons, everything except the wallpaper.All goes, I wait for approx 6 secs then they all come back ONE BY ONE.Only happens when I am changing programs, or going from icon to icon.Recently repaired, (had 7 trojans) and since then it says my copy is not validate, so I downloaded service pack 2, Used Avast boot time scan to repair, blooming great that prog, although a bit confusing if you dont know what to do.
