Background service missing to install updates
Please I need someone from Mozilla to contact me about this.
On tools, then Options tab, under view update history, use A background Service to install updates, then now that I can't check this to do not allow installation service updates.
I've just updated 15.0.1 and the above option was there, now that I've upgraded to 16.0.1 he went.
Mozilla updated properly on my laptop and the husband, but not mine, so what I do?
Have I not a corrupted version of Mozilla Firefox? I uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall again?
Thank you.
Your screenshot shows that the service is installed and available.
Is this screenshot on your computer or from another computer?
You have the file "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Maintenance Service" with the program maintenanceservice.exe in there?
If this service is not installed properly, you should tr run Setup to reinstall this service.

Recently, I reloaded a fresh load XP on my laptop. I was able to install SP3 and IE8, despite not being able to download them directly from the Windows Update site. I tried several times to install updates, one, five and all at the same time and is unable to install. I ran Fixit to many times and it says it solves some problems, but no single instance doesn't solve all of them. I also tried to update after the launch of a clean boot, always to nothing does not. I see many solutions on this and other Microsoft sites and I tried, but nothing seems to change the results. FixIt has reported the following:

Original title: Windows Update will not install on the new load XP
Hi all
Thanks for your replies. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but he got late last night, and I got to reregister the Qmgr.dll and Qmgrprxy.dll BITS files.
I clicked Start, click on run and typed the command following, and then click OK:
Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, click OK.
Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, click OK.I was then able to start the updates. There are 124 updates, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86. He downloaded 124 updates, but even once asked me to insert the disc for qmgr.dll when he was installing the 10th update. I find the qmgr.dll file again and pressed OK, but it seems to hang forever and do nothing, then I simply cancelled updates and closed during the night. I have been relieved to have solved the problem of BITS, but is concerned by the hang up on the tenth update installation and he called again for the qmgr.dll file during the installation of updates.
This morning, when I rebooted, it installed some updates at startup, and I restarted again. He then held I first install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86 to date. N BITS issue for that. It took time, but completed settle. Restart again and now there are only 21 updates to high priority required. My guess is that he downloaded all 124 updates last night, but when I cancelled the installation after hanging on #10, he just started to install it again this morning and did so successfully.
However, when I try to install the 21 remaining, he has not once again, and I find that the BITS service is not in the services again. After I have re-enter the BITS service and restart it, the downloads are working again.
I am now what I may need to reinsert and restart the BITS service whenever I need to download an update.
Ideas, suggestions or comments? I am slowly solve problems and if I persist, I can get this all taken care.
Hi Dan,.
From what you wrote, I understand where you are getting confused. Here are the steps to follow to solve this problem.
Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll
Research should show this file in the following locations:
C:\Windows\System32
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bitsI hope they are all present, follow these steps to register the service.
Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK
(If you do not have the command run in the start menu, hit the Windows key + R, instead)Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll and then restart.
Here are the next steps.
Copy / paste this command in the field to run, and then click OK
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.infWindows will launch a dialog box asking you to insert the Windows installation CD. Ignore this and change the way downstairs to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
Then restart the PC again and continue with the rest of the troubleshooting steps.
Click on start, run and copy/paste the following and click OK: services.msc
You should now be able to see the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, or just "BITS" displayed in the list of Services.
Double click it to open BITS and then click on the Start button. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.
If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dllRestart then try and start the BITS.
If you get the same error again, copy / paste the following text in the field run and click OK:
Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackupReboot once more and then try and start the BITS.
Let me know how you please.

Problems installing updates for xp service pack 2
I am not able to install xp sp2 on my computer. I have xp home edition, version 5.1 and is running xp sp1. After the update download I get an error message saying it could not read the files (or something like that), I tried to run the update from windows update and the site Ms... or install it. I also followed the instructions on the tech support site where he suggested I had a few missing files... did and does still not can not... someone please help me... I really need this patch because I can not download any current software without the sp2 of xp... Thank you!
You need to start from the square.
Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307
Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a USB or SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formattedotherwise:

Question
I have another type of problem with Firefox
Description
Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?
Version of Firefox
3.6.3
Operating system
Windows XP
User Agent
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Plugins installed

- Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
- Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/
You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).
If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.
Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

Missing = respect, but do not install updates
We have 12 identical blades of H/P, divided into two groups.
We have two basic lines of Manager Update for these groups. One contains the specific updates from VMware and the other contains updates of H/P.
I staged and updated the first cluster and all updates have been installed and the hosts show as being compliant.
The second cluster of all installed updates from VMware but have not installed six of updates of H/P;
In the case where it's important, upgrades included VMware 5.0 update 3.
The task of staging and the task of reorganization show to have successfully completed.
I tried this several times on one of the hosts. Manually set the host mode maint. Rebooted the host.
I ran "list esxcli software vib" on the single host in each cluster (assuming that this is the way to determine what H/P updates have been installed) and it shows the same information for both;
You don't know where to go to find out why a cluster shows as being compliant and the other is not.
Any help would be appreciated.
We tried just remove all the patches that are missing compared to the reference with the exception of the last two years and these two successfully installed and seems to have installed others too since they show now installed and the host respects now.

I downloaded both of these updates and was asked to restart my computer in order to install them. When I restart my computer it says: "Installation to update 1 of 2..." and then finally she said "Shutting down...". "But my computer never stops. Fifteen to twenty minutes later, I get a blue screen that says something about the dumping of memory, then the computer reloads the login screen. When I log in, I get the 643 error message that says that it was unable to install the updates. As a side effect of this error whenever I try to shut down my computer, it tries to reinstall the update again and my computer never stops. Even when I unplug the wall remains on him. I tried to use system restore to go back to the point before I installed the update, but it loads just for a while and then said: "system restore has failed." I read in another thread that you are not allowed to bring support for updates associated security update. If this is the case then I need at least to help make my computer stop trying to install these updates when I shut down my computer so it stops correctly. Thank you.
RAH66Comanche,
With these security updates, it is better to get them installed. You can run the following tools to ensure that there is no system problems:
Disk error checking
System File CheckerThen, run the System Update tool and try again to install updates.
If you just want to try to hide these updates, you can perform the following procedure:
Click Start Menu > click the button run
In the Open box, type %windir% & then click OK.
Note the %windir%\System32 folder is the folder where you installed Microsoft Windows.
Find the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.
Right-click the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and then click Rename.
Type SoftwareDistributionOld & then press ENTER.Then go to Windows Update and hide the 2 updates.
