• How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

  My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

  You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

• After the launch of an updated Firefox tries to connect to the server to update for hours, but can't, even if I am connected to the internet. How can I update in this case?

  I get requests to update for firefox 7.01: if I try Firefox shows me a screen in which it tries to connect to the server to update (during business hours) even if I am connected to the internet: I am able to browse with firefox. I also downloaded firefox 9 but first I can't open it: "there is already a version of firefox open. Second: This version also asked me to update, but still the same problem. I'm new with mac, please help...

  If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)

  • Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
  • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded

  Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

• Using OsX Yosemite and App Store continues to display the update for iPhoto...

  I have a Macbook Air 13 inch, (early 2015) use Yosemite (10.10.5).  It came with the Photos app, but iPhoto is still in my applications folder, but is grayed out.  However, from the beginning, the App Store showed that I have an update for iPhoto, (I bought it to 15 August) and it never goes away.   To try to get rid of him, I tried to update and I get two different messages "unavailable for this ID... updated" or "not available in the United States.  I had called for support and he could not know.  Of course, it does not affect the performance of the laptop but it's annoying to have constantly there.   Any ideas on how to do this, go away?  I have attached a few screenshots to show what I mean.  Thanks if someone can help (and sorry if I posted this in the community, did not find one for the App Store issues...)

  

  

  Here are some suggestions: cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

• They will continue to offer Windows updated for Windows 8?

  I was wondering if MS will always have updates for Windows 8. I have not updated to 8.1 and have noticed that I didn't update for a month. Anyone know if they are to stop these completely updates?

  Thank you

  In fact, this should answer your question, unless by updates, you're talking about something completely different from Windows updates?

  If you look at the chart I posted, you can see updates for Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) are ending January 9, 2018. Updates to 8.1 are ending January 10, 2023.

  Kind regards

• Colors in Windows 7 too bright/faded after running Windows Update for the first time (everything was going well after initial installation). See the details.

  I just installed Windows 7 Pro on a HP Pavilion with a HP w2007 20 ". I have had no problem of color first and everything worked fine. The first time I ran Windows Update, it included an optional update called "HP - display - HP w2007 LCD wide screen". That the update "has failed" to install and when I rebooted, my screen had a look very 'neon' - my desktop background, a picture of a tree with a bunch of Red leaves, was very washed out and now most of the leaves were bright red with no visible details. This is obvious everywhere, not only my desktop background (another example... small green circles next to the names of Gmail chat contacts are very bright green, more even than usual). Everything is too bright. I tried the following hotfixes:

  -Manually reinstall the update of the HP screen (it worked this time) and restart - did not work.
  -Reset my monitor to factory setting - has failed.
  -Download and install the latest HP driver for this monitor - did not work.
  -Through: "Control panel-> appearance and personalization-> display-> Calibrate color" and through an assistant color calibration (that's new for Windows 7?). Also, did not work.

  I have the dual-boot of Ubuntu installed on this machine and I think the colors under Linux are always very well, so I think it's a problem with Windows and not the monitor. Because it was working fine before, I would rather try to get everything worked, rather than the update manually the brightness/contrast of my monitor. Any ideas?

  A useful answer, I got on another forum (windows7forum.com). It worked:

  I had this problem too!

  In my case it is also explained by a driver from Windows Update called "nVidia display".

  Fortunately, I figured out how to fix it:

  1. Open Computer Management (start > right click on "Computer" > Manage)
  2. Select "Device Manager".
  3. Select 'show cards '.
  4. Right click 'NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT' (or whatever your video card)
  5. Click 'properties '.
  6. Select the 'Drivers' tab
  7. Click on the button "return to the version.

  This is a very common problem lately. The tool the more importantly you need right now is a lot of patience.  Resources Windows Microsoft Update are prioritize the updates of Windows 7 to a very low service level and have been since the beginning of summer 2015.  It is not uncommon that the update of Windows to take one night.

  9. net start bits
  10. net start msiserver
  11. pause
  12. Output

  Services of type in the text box above the start planet.  Find each of the following items and make sure they are set to automatic: Intelligent Transfer in the background, cryptographic, Windows Installer, Windows Update services.  Double-click on each item and choose automatic.

  If you still have a problem, try this.  It will take a long time, but in almost all gets case Windows Update back on the right track.

  1. Download and run the appropriate version for your system KB947821 update readiness tool system.  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-CA/KB/947821 32-bit systems X 86.  X 64 64-bit systems.  This is likely to take some time (may be several hours) because it makes all kinds of resets.  It took 4 hours on a book net last night.
  2. Download KB3102810 directly from the Microsoft web site and install it.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810. It took 4 hours on a book net last night.

  Now restart Windows Update.  Do NOT restart Windows.   Be very, very sick, it will probably take a while.

• Windows Update does not end: "check updates".

  Today & yesterday I tried to run Windows Update on my 2 computers Win7 (64 bit), a desktop computer (as a HTPC) one and the other a laptop ASUS.

  Other software (Adobe, Skype, etc.) on these 2 p. Update OK.

  These 2 PC updated successfully at the beginning of the month, 7 & 8 April 2016.
  For operational reasons, both of these pieces are set to be updated MANUALLY (not automatically).

  The laptop is used rarely.

  My main pc (Pro Win10, i7, 64-bit Office) is updating OK. Update runs automatically.
  In other words, my internet connection is fine.

  I tried MS Fixit (two options) but NOT the aggressive option.
  I also run the Update Agent - the file wuaeng.dll version 7.6.7601.19161 poster.

  I have not yet run the system update readiness tool, but may do so after I have let the laptop mode 'Check updates' for a few hours.

  With our thanks, Ron
