Automatic updates do not update

I used to have SP3.

I reformatted my computer.
I installed Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 from a CD, and whatever drivers I could (with some difficulty).
Automatic updates is turned on and has been for many days now.
SP3 has not been downloaded.
On two separate days, I went to update.microsoft.com and click on the different buttons, including 'Express' and links for "Microsoft Update".
I always get the error message 'the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem. "at least two different error codes 0x8024400A as 0 x 80240036.

How can I do updates occur, if they do not occur automatically and I can't make them work manually? Should I download SP3 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25129 even if it is said expressly do not?

In addition, I installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher on a CD entitled "Microsoft Office 2000". Before the reformatting, .docx and .xlsx files would "save under" files .doc and .xls, when I tried to open them. Now, I get nonsense when I try to open an .xlsx file. May updates solve this problem? If this is not the case, what is recommended?

Thanks a lot for help.

The OS is more than a decade - is NOT surprising.

FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.

You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

Install it.

Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

Install it.

Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

Install it.

Reset.

Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

(You can decide - once the update - how you want to get updates - manually or automatically from that moment.  The great thing is to get the update).

Your 'also' at the end tells me that you have installed Microsoft Office 2000.  Your description of .xlsx and .docx files deducted that you need to install Office 2007 or Office 2010.  * shrug *.

Find the keys of your media and product for any product Office (both) you use - because it was NOT Office 2000 (which confirm you that you have installed).

Now - you might be able to OPEN these documents (.docx and .xlsx) with an update for Office:
Microsoft Office for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats Compatibility Pack
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details-b.aspx?ID=3

It gives you all the features of its latest versions of office - but allows you to manipulate files from those who have upgraded to a Suite of office made in recent ten years.  ;-)  You must have Microsoft Office 2000 patched to its Service Pack 3.

    My Firefox has just automatically updated itself to the version 42. The extention under modules page does not display the extensions I have installed. The plug in page shows the plug ins I installed. How can I fix it? This happened on my 64 bit Windows 7 partition. I installed the extension "classic add-on" to see if she could solve the problem. There is unfortunately no. I have a screenshot. I'm not sure if I have permission to upload it to the media gallery. I also use Linux, but I did not upgrade that are still there.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

  • Firefox will not load after an automatic update

    I am running Windows 8.1, the 64-bit operating system. I think that FireFox automatically updated today and now I can't start FireFox. I get a box of modules are being checked for compatibility. The designation of 32 bits is indicated and just it runs and runs and will not go beyond this screen. I have tried everything I can think of to start FireFox, but nothing seems to work. Help I'm having to use IE and I hate it.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    I received this message everytime I open Firefox for quite awhile without realizing exactly what that meant. Now I see that I'm running 6.0, rather than 7.1 and when I click on automatic update, the message I get is: the update could not be installed. Please make sure that there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and restart Firefox to try again. I have certainly no other copies of Firefox running.

  • After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

    Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

    This has happened

    Just once or twice

    == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

    Hello.

    It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

    To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
