Cannot access Microsoft updates

• Cannot access Microsoft Update

  For three years now, I not was able to access Microsoft Update because I get the below error message:

  Install the ActiveX control required to view the site
  The site is not correctly displayed on your computer without this control. To install it:

  1 right click on the Internet Explorer information bar. It is located just below the address bar.
  2. in the context menu, click install ActiveX control.
  3. in the security warning dialog box, click install.

  Note: If the information bar does not appear, or if you have installed the control but still cannot use the website totake these steps to solve the problem.

  Example: Internet Explorer information with the menu bar
  The first time this has happened, I clicked on the yellow in the bar of the training and has allowed the upload and everything should be fine, but the next day and every time since then, I got the same error message but the yellow bar never appeared again.  I get automatic downloads.
  Three years ago I spent weeks back with Tech MS nothing helped until I just let down and moved.  Reinstalling XP is also in vain.  Go to Internet EXPLORER 8 has not changed anything.  Today, I installed the standalone product... no change.
  After three long years, today I decided WTF, I would throw out there once more.  Any ideas.

• Error code: 80072EFE (cannot access Microsoft Update Website)

  Hi I am getting Code 80072EFE Windows Update has encountered an error unknown.
  In addition, can't access Microsoft Update Website

  Any attempt to enter the Microsoft Update Web page online will result in error/connection has been reset.

  I read several threads here that speak of this problem and we have tried a lot of recommended solutions, but nothing helped.

  Please help with suggestions.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• Satellite Pro L500: Cannot access Microsoft Office - need serial key

  Cannot access Microsoft Office on my laptop, the series Satellite Pro L500, need a product key of 25 letter/symbol.
  Not with the paperwork, instruction manual, or on laptop background.
  Found a key to the letter or symbol 25 on bottom of laptop, but Microsoft Word/Publisher/excel etc will not accept?

  Hi mate

  AFAIK the preinstalled Office is a trial version!
  You cannot use the serial key you found at the bottom of the unit because the key to this series is a serial OEM key and it belongs to the version preinstalled Windows.

  So if you want to enable the office, then you will need to purchase the full license!

• XP PRO SP3 - cannot access windows updates

  Currently, I have restored to the factory setting on a laptop computer windows XP Professional and was able to download and install service pack 3. I also downloaded Explorer 8 - he kept if overwrite then I uninstalled and am on Explorer 7. Now, I can not access windows updates. I get the site and the status says done but I have an empty window. I also have problems with other programs - it seem to not be able to access a file that is on my computer. I was hoping that longer running updates could fix my problem. Help, please

  I would recommend from square one again. This time, do exactly as follows:

  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!

• Cannot download Microsoft Update on Windows 7 built-in

  We run Windows 7 Embedded on some POS registers and I need to add some other Microsoft updates for the Windows Update process. When I click the link it will not download. I don't know the reason for this is due to the very limited network, records must be on for the PCI compliance. I need one of the two below to be able to work around this problem, because we cannot take them outside the restricted network.

  1. Download an installation file that I can put on a USB key to install manually on each register.
  2. Get IP address, just the Setup file of Microsoft Update to enable on my network.

  Download all the updates of windows and installation of install through automatic updates. It's just getting to look for the other Microsoft updates is a problem.
