3 MS Windows & Security Office updates fail continuously as well as Acrobat & Apple QuickTime - arrrgh!

These updates (KB978380, KB978382 & KB979895) repeatedly failed to install after being downloaded automatically. I have also manually download these updates from the MS site, stored in the computer and tried to install without success. I have to disable the Windows Firewall and the McAfee? Please note that downloaded from the Acrobat Reader from Adobe and Apple QuickTime updates failed to install.

Coincidentally, I just discovered whild in the Admin account that Word now does not save my docs - wonder if I should restore to an earlier point?

Why does this continue to happen (as it has in the past)? ! I don't have a lot of computer savvy, but after reading the comments of others, I am very frustrated and confused with MS Vista.

craigcycle,
I think that you run some aggressive scans on your system for infections malware\virus.  The fact that you get into any trouble with the Windows updates as well as 3 updates (Apple and Adobe) party leads us to a problem that is more then just a Windows Update issue.  You do not mention 2 firewall running.  You must disable one of them, because the firewall programs may conflict with each other and cause problems.  Here are some links with useful information about the protection malware\virus.

  • Windows 7 - Office updates fail after reboot

    I am running Windows 7 32 bit, and last night I downloaded Microsoft Office 2010 and installed (upgrade of my edition of 2007 in the process).

    By the time I wanted to shut down the computer that he reported that 6 updates have been downloaded and must be installed. I have not read what they were, I guess I can some how?

    In any case, let him off and made the updates and off. Then I restarted the computer and it came with the second update screen that shows the percentage complete. At this point, I have to wait for what feels like 5 minutes (with remaining to 0%) and subsequently, that it says update failed and there back the changes. No error number is displayed.

    After logging in I tried shutdown again and he followed the same process. I have not tried this morning yet. How can I solve this problem?

    Thank you for your help. I was more happy with Windows 7, and until last night I didn't update window problems.

    Hello

  • Windows Update fails continually after February 9 release of updates being installed

    I read a ridiculous amount of discussion regarding the 9 February/10 updates to update Windows causing errors, but I have not found a solution to my problem yet. I have Vista 32 bit home Premium SP2. Dell XPS M1330. Core2Duo 2.4 GHz. 4 GB OF RAM.
    I'm not new to pc errors, especially dealing with Windows Update, but still, I got error Code 80070005. After installing the infamous February 9 updates, Windows Update indicates an error continually and says he cannot get update. Several times I restored my computer back a few days before these updates in question, and all is well. I let it sit for a few days hoping Microsoft would remove updates, and I've even noticed that the update reading 'pending' - which, after reading several threads told to leave this update turned off that it was probably the update of 'problem '. Well regardless, I installed the rest updates, with the exception of this one, and I still get the same error again. I don't understand why Windows just will not remove 'defective' updates if they are constantly problems. In the meantime, does anyone know a fix for this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Office updates fail. Error code 80070643

    Hi, I had a reo-ccurence of an old problem. Windows Update fails on the Office security updates. Error code 80070643.

    The modules that are 921598, 943973, 945185, 975051, 974554, 953404, 951535, 972580, 947319. Other modues installation ok.

    I tried to uninstall Office 2003 and reinstall. I tried checking DARE. EXE as suggested. PatchREgCleanup x 64 (for my Windows 7, 64-bit) will fail with a message saying "a product mus be determined." I tried Disabaliung and restart Windows Installer in the management of the computer.

    Whate otherwise I can do? Thank you.


    Thank you.

    The problem is now resolved. The flaw lies in the installation of FrontPage 2003. Security updates are installing.
    For the benefit of third parties who may read this page, I add the following observations: -.
    After the failure of an update there was little indication of the origin of the problem.
    However it happened to me that reliability monitor has given more information, for example
    "Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product name: Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. Product version: 11.0.8173.0. Product language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Status of success or error of reconfiguration: 1603. »
    Then, I realized that all re - install the suite Office 2003 does not automatically re - installed FrontPage.
    It seems that when looking for this kind of problems, a check of the history of reliability could be useful to determine just where the problems come from.
    Thank you.

    You need to hide if they have been installed. And I would hide them anyway since you know the numbers and

  • How can I update and continue to use Adobe Acrobat Reader without upgrading to DC?

    I tried several times to install the updates recommended by Adobe for my Acrobat XI product.  Whenever the update is in fact an 'Upgrade' to Adobe DC.  I tried this product and it is not the same as Acrobat Reader user friendly product.  I want to continue to be able to read PDF files, that's all.  I have to create documents, sign documents, store information available to me in a cloud somewhere that the world has access to it (NOTHING ON THE INTERNET IS REALLY SECURE) or one of the other computer resource hogging garbage (IMO) that was added to create this thing DC.

    All I want to do is read the PDF documents, nothing else.  As PDF and Acrobat Reader were intended to do in the first place, something simple and universal to allow each user of the computer display a document of any hardware or software they had installed on their computer.  Adobe still do and support such a product or should I start to look elsewhere?

    You can try to use this tool first remove all traces of your computer:

    Then you can download the full Setup offline reader for the version you want (not DC)

    http://get.Adobe.com/reader/Enterprise/

    After downloading, restart your computer and run the Setup program before anything else. After installation, open the drive and turn off the auto update. If you wish, you can restart your computer just to be on the safe side.
