Do I have to install the updates of Windows XP after the download?

I have Pentium III 664 MHz 512 MB of Ram running Windows XP home, ver 2002 Serpk 3.
Update automatic value for notify me when downloads available.
tonight, I downloaded several updates (sometimes hung over the Update icon in the status bar system and verified progress) but nothing happened after full download - does 'updater' install updates or do I have to manually do it somehow? Yes, I did this b4, but forget the details of the process of
Probably related: I had McAfee Security Center to Comcast for more than a year, McAfee program and worked daily updates up to ~ 2 weeks ago, when I ran Spybot (search & destroy) and kidnapped "find issues", Yes, some of them were keys (?) registry or questions of sometype... uh, now I have an icon on the McAfee system tray icon that says "McAfee Security Center. ": Your computer is not protected ' and then in the window Center security, the problem message says that my"detection files are from 8 to 29 days", so I don't know I have questions here... I've been prematurely cut the girl in the Phillipeans(sp?) when I called McAfee help (probably just as much as these support calls go LOL...) but I'm not asking you to resolve the problem of McAfee, just need info on the Windows XP update apparent inactivity.
-Note: I'm NOT run program of Spybot TeaTimer or vaccination, just a casual scan with S & D.

Hi pittsburghfather,

Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

Microsoft regularly issues updates or patches to fix security problems in their software.  The critical updates are ones that you should be concerned.  If they are not implemented, it leaves your computer vulnerable to hackers.  Service Packs are updated larger who upgrade and resolve security issues.

The built-in Windows Update to Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP can check your PC against a common database of patches.  You have access to a Microsoft web site and your operating system is checked against critical updates and a list of proposed shows to your PC so that you can download and install these.  You must periodically.

More recent versions of windows have an automatic update function.  It is available in Windows 2000, ME and XP.  If you enable this feature, your PC will be to search for, download, and install critical updates at night.  This eliminates the need for you to check periodically for updates.

Usually updated Automatic download and install automatically, without intervention of that whatsoever. You also have an option of download and installation of updates by disabling the automatic updates manually.

1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

2. view function Panel you use, classic or category, do one of the following values:

* Click system, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
* Click performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.

3. click on the desired option. Make sure that automatic updates is not turned off.

  • Action menu is empty; "You have not installed the extensions.

    Like many others, share my Menu is empty after the upgrade to El Capitan. By running the recommended command here has no effect. In the system preferences panel, the only options on the left are all and share Menu. Share menu 'not allowed' in gray below. Everything indicates "you have not installed the extensions.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Apple TV-Siri shows Hulu in the results, but I have not installed the Hulu application

    My research findings using Siri on the new Apple TV keep showing Hulu as an option. The only thing is, I have not installed the Hulu application, and I'm not a subscriber of Hulu. Is this a mistake or what is 'normal '.

    To check, I select Hulu in the search results, and was invited to install the application.

    It is correct. The page that displays the result of your search will connect you to the app from Hulu on the App Store if you have not installed it.

    Cheap flight,

    Guess what?  After writing the message that it wouldn't let me download the new drivers, I thought I'd go straight to ATI/AMD to see if I could download a new graphics adapter from them directly.  I did, and Voila!  computer running better, I can view videos now, and even, to my amazement, my wife Ipad becomes wiFi again.  I don't know why a new graphics driver would do all that but somehow it makes.  So, your advice worked quite well.  Also, I reduced my refresh rate slightly.  Maybe it helped a bit as well.

  • Have to install the CAD Client AND the server software on the Windows Client computer

    Hello

    I have a problem during the installation of the customer Oracle Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) on my Windows x 86 client computer.

    Architecture

    Applications server - A Machine (Informatica 8.6.0 + fix 4.0 & DAC 10.1.3.4.1 services) = Linux RHEL 64-bit
    Basis of data server - Machine B (application Oracle BI OBAW data warehouse) = Linux RHEL 64-bit
    Client - Machine C (BI Apps 7.9.6 + Informatica customer customer 8.6.0 CAD) = Windows x 86 32 bit)

    Question

    I had planned to install ONLY the DAC 10.1.3.4.1 customer on my 32-bit x 86 Windows client machine, as the CAD 10.1.3.4.1 server must be installed on Linux which is installed the Informatica PowerCentre 8.6.0 server application layer.

    However, when I run the Oracle Universal Installer, installation options are greyed out and I have to install the Client and server products.

    I don't want to do that. Why am I made to install both? Is there a solution?

    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Have a great day.

    Kind regards
    Gary

    Customer installation support DAC only on Windows is to copy the executable files of the area where you installed CAD using the Installer (say another windows box).

    If you install the CAD by using the Setup program on the area where you don't want the client of the DAC, it will also install server DAC. In this case, your client DAC can be confused to
    connect to the local server of DAC, so better avoid to install DAC and copy the executable files for the client computer DAC. Customer of the DAC must also the odbc14.jar and Informatica customer files
    to connect to Informatica.
