• Update won't install but keep popping in at each stop

  I have the following update online for installation at each stop, but it always fail to install:a security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB973923)

  The original was installed a few days ago by Cakewalk SONAR X 1 (last version of a digital audio workstation software, launched in December 2010).  Must also say that my PC is brand-new, Win 7 Professional has been installed about a week (own) and many updates have taken place without any glitch.

  Although I tried to do it before the shutdown process (i.e.: call on Windows update and try to install right in front of me), the process always fails.

  So: is there a way (should I try) to get rid of him, or is it installed so it stops redownloading and online to install at each stop? (It's very, very annoying).

  Thank you
  Rob

• IE8 Update won't install - update Cumulative security for IE8 to Windows XP (KB2360131).

  I was alerted to an automatic update titled "Cumulative Security Update for IE8 to Windows XP (KB2360131)."  I think that he has downloaded, but whenever I try to install it, the process fails.  In other words, I click on 'Install', initialization takes place and then it appears the installation, but it fails.  No error code is given, only one window that opens to say "some updates could not be installed."  I see that some 7 and Vista had problems, but does anyone have suggestions for XP SP3?  Thank you.

• I have 36 updates won't install, get the error Code 8000FFFF + Code 3715

  Code 8000FFFF + Code 3715 is in my Windows Update.  I have 36 updates which will not be installed.  Mr. FixIt did without touching!  I did research for months for a solution to the Code 8000FFFF, just to finally get 3 or 4 new files update.  They settled, but then the second error, Code 3715 appeared.  I have a Compaq PCSR5501P Tower, 3 GB of RAM and 4 GB ReadyBoost (at recommended setting) with Windows 32 bit Vista Home Basic SP2 and ESET Smart Security 5.  Also, I have a Seagate 2 TB external drive.  It was not connected during this period for months, then Windows Defender found a registry error about this.  I removed it to the Defender.  I consider myself to be a bit smarter than the average bear, but it beats me.  I know it's 9 out of 10 times it simple!

  OK, the technophiles who takes up the challenge of can make a grinder monkey out of me?

  Thanks a lot for the people who understand and care to share.

• Automatic updates won't install

  I had this same problem two months ago. Whenever I turned off my computer, I get the message windows is installing 1 of 2 updates. But they do not install. I had to get help from technology to solve the problem, apparently the 4.5 installer has been disabled by a third party, and the old version, 3.5 installer, could not handle the installation of these two new updates.

  For the previous post and responses to this topic, see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/automatic-updates-wont-install/3a91a645-5ccc-464d-a99e-c3301c755c45

  Does anyone know how to activate the 4.5 installer? And why this happens every three months? Do I need the assistance of technology again?

  Thank you

  Michael

I hope there, can someone help me!

  It you open in the toolbar?  If Yes, then you always open the old program.  On Mac, it does not replace the old, but moved next to the former.  Simply browse through your applications folder and you will find the new copy; do slip into the toolbar and deleting the old.

  See you soon!
