Failed Critical Updates - How To Install
Jul 7, 2005After checking for win updates, I thought I would check the history of other updates. Much to my surprise, there were 6 updates, ALL from June 14, that had "FAILED". Some gave a page to go to for description, some did not. I have tried and tried to get these updates installed, but no success. These were the "critical updates" categories. Is there ANY way I can get the Microsoft to either send me to another address that would install them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedVulnerable After Install Before Updates Downloaded?
Jan 22, 2006I'm about to carry out a clean install of XP. It's my first planned install - previously I've been forced into it following an encounter with the blue screen of death. So this time I'd like to do it with a little more care.I've searched the forums, and looked wider. There are some great articles out there, but some questions remain unanswered for me.I know I have to track down backup files for Outlook, Outlook Express, and Firefox Bookmarks. Hopefully, I'll work this out for myself. I will also copy all the contents of My Documents to an external HDD, of course.The main issue still on my mind is security. Presumably, once XP (SP1) is reinstalled, drivers added, then SP2, I should add my Panda antivirus suite, Spybot, Ad-Aware, & Zone Alarm. These will all be seriously out of date, so the next thing will be to re-establish my internet connection in order to update them.
Will my PC be vulnerable during this intervening period? If so, is there an alternative? Can I download the updates now, before wiping the hard drive, copy them to the external drive, then copy them back somehow before going online? Or is this regarded as an unavoidable risky time, like baby turtles trying to make it down the beach from their eggs to the safety of the sea, while predators have a field day?

Jul 23, 2007I did an in-place repair of XP MCE 2003. I had previously installed all MS security fixes and updates, the list in my "installed programs" showed about 70 or 80 updates. The in-place repair gave me an unscrambled registry, and an unpatched XP install, without touching my installed programs or data. A good thing, overall, it fixed my major problem.
I immediately went to get all the updates -- 76 of them downloaded. I don't let Updater install automatically -- I get all the updates, but decide which to install because I got a bad version of IE7 that took me a long time to delete and recover from, but I installed ALL security updates. I generally use FireFox, so I didn't view IE7 as a security update. Anyway, it installed one or two updates, and then said the rest could not be installed....
Downloaded BIOS Updates For System / Unable To Install?
Jul 22, 2005I found a BIOS update for my system, but I don't know how to install it. It is a .bin file (ak31s20p.bin to be exact). I was told to make a bootable floppy and do it that way, but the instructions that were given, are for .exe and .rom files. Does anyone have any idea on how I can install this file?

Nov 19, 2007Keep getting "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close." (Firefox annoyingly then shuts down) message after I start a search in either Google or Yahoo. This problem is new; just started after the November MS critical updates were installed last week. Google and Yahoo continue to work in IE. What security changes has Microsoft made that seems to only affect Firefox? My OS is Windows XP Pro with SP2 and I'm using the latest version of Firefox. How do I fix this problem? It is very annoying to have to switch to IE every time I want to do a search using Google or Yahoo.

Jun 18, 2006Where do the XP updates (auto) go when they're downloaded ?
My PC told me there were some updates ready but when I was downloading them I had a power cut....
now it still says there are updates ready but it zips past the download stage (having recognised the files already exist) and goes straight into the installing stage but it always fails.
I suspect my original download has been corrupted by the power cut. I need to know where these downloaded updates get stored, so I can delete the file and start again.

Feb 9, 2007I 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.

Oct 30, 2008Yesterday 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?

Downloaded Some Windows Updates / Go To Turn Off Computer / Turn Off Button Has Changed
Apr 6, 2007I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.

Apr 22, 2008New problem with winupdate. After clicking "Custom" on the update site, I get the screen that basicly says I must install software for use with the site. I click to start the download and install and the software downloads. After download the screen go's into "Install" mode, then quickly changes to "Some software failed to install". The solution is supposed to be on the update history link, but that does not show the Windows Genuine Advantage software to have been downloaded/installed. Repeating the cycle results in indicating the software for Windows Genuine Advantage has been downloaded and is ready to be installed. Clicking "Download and install" yields the same result of "Some software failed to install".

Feb 14, 2007I 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?
