• 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.

• Need to run Windows Update online

  Please note:
  I chose the 'Windows Vista' forum, but the link to this forum.  Please move my question to the right place.  Thank you!
  ========================================
  I need to run Windows Update to www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx instead of from the Panel.  Can I disable the "automatic" version, or is there another way to go beyond this?

  The problem is that my ISP limits the size of downloads of the day, unless I have download only for a certain period of time during the night.  I can't afford to have my computer slow down to dial-up speed during the day below, and since I don't want to give general approval of Windows Update to download and install, I can not limit his schedule.

  Thank you in advance.

  I have the inability to run Windows Update. I get this message: Windows could not search for updates. An error occurred when the new updates for your computer. Error: Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
  I tried a few patches, but they do not work. Including those of ACCESS DENIED. And another by Kim.
  What's next?

  Hello

  • Have what troubleshooting measures you tried?

  Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates.

  To resolve the problem follow the steps that are listed in the methods below in the order listed, starting with method 1.

  Method 1:

  Log the computer as an administrator or as a user with administrative rights.

  Method 2:

  One of the most common causes of this error code (access denied) is the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software running on the computer. You can try to disable them, and then try the updates again.

  Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

  Method 3:

  Try to reset your default security settings.

• Blue screen, cannot run Windows Update

  I was browsing Reddit when all of a sudden my laptop decided NOPE and closes everything down to make an update. It was 03:00 so I wasn't thinking straight and closed on the rise and went to bed. The next day, while in the class my phone showed me a blue screen with some writing for everything... long enough not to read what was then asked if I wanted to start in different security modes. I thought that this could be because I interrupted an update and I tried to run Windows Update, but it will still not open.   I can't access anything whatever, and I have a paper in four days... Help, please!

  We need the DMP file because it contains the single record of the sequence of events that led to the accident, what drivers have been loaded, and what has been loaded.

  
  

  WE NEED AT LEAST TWO FILES DMP TO SPOT TRENDS AND TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.

  
  

  If you're overclocking (pushing components beyond their design) return you to default at least until the crash is resolved. If you don't know what it is that you're probably not overclocking.

  You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting in SafeMode (F8) with networking.

  If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are that if you are unsure if you are, you are not)

  To allow us to help you with symptoms BSOD on your computer, download the contents of your folder "\Windows\Minidump".

  The procedure:

  * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another location (temporary) somewhere on your machine.

  * Zip up the copy (compress)

  * Please download to a service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" to share files and put a link to them in your answer.

  Link to find out how to download below.

  http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

  To ensure the minidumps are enabled:

  * Click Start, in the search box, type: sysdm.cpl, press ENTER.

  * On the Advanced tab, click Startup and recovery... Settings button.

  * Make sure that automatically restart is unchecked.

  * Under the writing debugging information header, select image partial memory (256 KB) in the list box drop-down (varies from 256kb).

  * Ensure to that small Dump Directory is listed as % systemroot%\Minidump.

  * OK your way out.

  * Reboot if changes have been made.

  Please also run MSinfo32 and download the output as well.

  To run MSinfo32 please go to start > run > MSinfo32

  Go to 'file', 'save' and download the PDF is saved with the DMP

  System specs are extremely useful then please include everything you know.

  
  

  Blue screen view and that crashed are often wrong and should only be used in case of emergency...

• Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

  You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

  Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

  Phil

  If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

  Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.

• Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

  In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

  + ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}, URL of the server = https://update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx

  An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

  We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
  At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

  Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?
