• Windows 7 I can download applications, but can not install internet begins

  I upgraded to windows 7 and activied Microsoft security virus app too... now I have problems. I can download apps, but impossible to install their... internet itself emerges... I wish that I wouldn't have installed these apps... tried to disable security and download another virus app... but wont install the program or other programs... tried system restore to before I did stuff, unsucessfull... help!  what I can do... tried to contact a support technician live... but no luck...

  What Microsoft security virus app?  Is it only Microsoft Security Essentials?  Another may be a fake anti-virus, especially if it signals you infections and wants that install you something.  It is a scam.

  If this is Microsoft Security Essentials, then uninstall it from the control panel and immediately reinstall from Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Check your control panel > programs and features for what you only install and know to uninstall these now.  If in doubt ask back.  The only necessary tools which guarantee the best performances are in clean reinstall Windows 7

  Download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes free Version

  and AdwCleaner , which will confirm whether you are infected or not.

  Then run file System check (SFC) Scan and repair the filesystem - Microsoft Community.

  If necessary put in Safe Mode with network to get the above done steps.

  Ask questions back if necessary and report back all results for possible further steps.

  DocName var = app.activeDocument.name.substring (0, app.activeDocument.name.indexOf('.'));

  If (!) ((Folder(target+"/"+"filename"))). Exists)

• Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

  Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

  I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

  I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

  Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

  There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

  But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

  1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

  2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

  3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

  4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

  Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

  IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

  IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

  IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

  5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

  Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

  KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

  There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

  Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

  Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

  But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

  MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

  MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

• Windows Update cannot find the new updates!

  Hello

  I have freshly installed Windows XP with SP3 on my new computer and I'm trying to fully updated.

  I never rely on the updates to work, so I am go to the Microsoft Update Website in IE 8, and there I went through a few cycles of updates, especially for the different versions of the .NET framework. At this point, there are no more left except the junk like Bing and Bing Desktop toolbar!

  I'm confused: where are the 126-or-so security updates that should be appear?

  I installed some updates manually (like the Windows Update Agent 30, that has caused me problems in the past) and rebooted several times, but nothing helps!

  Halp!  D:

  What is a "windows update agent 30 '... No microsoft.

  Try to remove, and then reinstall the update, the latest version is

  "microsoft update", you'll see that in the Download Center. In addition,

  XP is saved.

  Windows Agent 30 comes from Microsoft. He made sure the last Windows Update is installed.

• Error message "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program."

  Original title: cannot install WMP11, update rollup 2

  I'm still on WMP 10 for a reason, and I wanted to connect my PC with 360 videos. I downloaded the update, but he told me to go get the Update Rollup 2 or something, so I tried to install it and he told me that I needed to go get the .NET framework 1.1 and .NET framework 1.1 SP1. I went to download them and install them, but he tells me that "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program".

  I Googled, tried of all kinds, uninstalled SP3 and tried and nothing.

• I get a repeated error on install Platform Update For Windows Vista (KB971644). Fails with the error code 80073AA2. Installation comes from Windows Update.

  Windows Update loops round and round constantly to not set up correctly, then restores the changes

  Do I need to install the System Update Readiness Tool KB 947821?

  Probably not: I had a lot of doubt that SP2 is installed if KB947821 has not already been installed.

  Given that this problem is after a fairly recent install of SP2...

  Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been postponed until February 26, 2010, so move on! Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack <=pick this=""> ).

  In the case opposite & whereas KB971644 is NOT a security update, you can simply hide the "thing":

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
  (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update |  View the updates available (or Select the updates installed): right click on the (platform) update for Windows Vista (KB971644) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  =====================================
  To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.

  NB: If KB971644 were available for download/installation manual (and is not), I would have you try it.
