• Update Windows (KB951847) x 86 error code 800F0900

  I tried in vain several times by updates through automatic and manual updates to install update KB951847 'important' for windows.  It fails every time with an error 800F0900 code.  I tried to find a "solution" without success.  Is there a solution?  Is it free?  How can I access it?
  THANKS to anyone who can help!

  Hi julieWI,

  Please use the Forum of the community for Vista.

  When you say you tried manual installation, do you mean you went to MS and downloaded the update and tried to install it like that?

  If this isn't what you were doing, I recommend that download you and try this way.

• Error code: Trying 80072F8F update windows after fresh install - Dell Vostro 1510 - (Windows 7 x 64 PRO)

  Hello, I'm trying to update windows after installation and I get error code 80072F8F.  After looking for other pages, I checked my BIOS date and time are correct and Windows as well.

  Laptop: Dell VOSTRO 1510
  Windows 7 x 64 PRO

  I already activated Windows (silly me to check everything actually works) and I need a solution as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I needed Windows update to try and fix a number display adapter (card intel not giving not external display resolutions)- but that's another question.

  I hope that there is a fix out there somewhere in the ether.

  Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

  The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

  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) won't fix this!

• Update Windows wants to install an older driver from Nvidia

  My Dell has a driver Nvidia as of 20/11/09 (date of the driver, not the installation of the driver - Driver Version 8.17.11.9562), and Windows Update keeps insisting that I should install an "option" upgrade for a driver from Nvidia which is older, as of September 2007, published 12/12/08.  How is that possible?  How can I let Microsoft know that there must be something wrong with their recommendation of update?

  Hello

  Unfortunately updates Windows is often older drivers certified. So the best method is to stop
  the automatic update of the drivers while leaving the other updates in automatic mode. Then since updated
  drivers can be very important in a mature OS response that must be updated manually. New
  computers are provided with pilots of early stage so they really need to be updated quite often especially
  When there are major changes in the pilot platform, which is valid for both Vista and Windows 7.

  Part of the problem is from the platform changed pilot and there's a maturation process Microsoft
  is too overwhelmed with updates from the pilot to the certification process. Thus, at the time where a driver
  certification passes a manufacturer probably has published several major updates to this one. Here now
  in 32 and 64 bit platforms just adds to the load of the certification.

• Update Windows wants to install KB973346 daily

  Greetings!

  I - and many of my colleagues - are being invited by the automatic update to install the fix KB973346 daily.  We are all running Windows XP SP3 and are also updated on all our patches.  Is there a way to stop reminders to install the patch already installed, or should live us with it until the next Patch Tuesday?

  I tried the following remedies, and each one failed in one way or another:

  Run the Microsoft Fix It utility to reset the Windows Update components in aggressive mode (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058) and default - shield yellow still appears in the system tray.

  Restart the AutoUpdate service in Control Panel administrative tools - computer management - yellow shield still appears in the system tray.

  Rename the C\WINDOWS\system32\catroot2 folder to shield catroot2.old - yellow reappears in the system tray.

  Uninstall the KB973346 hotfix by using Add or remove programs Panel - after you have reinstalled the patch, yellow shield reappears in the system tray invites me to install it again.

  Installation of the redistributable KB973346 hotfix installer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=24701af8-b87e-4e85-9463-f50755a1b6ad&displaylang=en) in normal mode and Mode safe, boots - a reading error "Setup error: the system cannot find the specified file" appears, and the installation fails.

  Are there other strategies I miss to correctly install this hotfix and will not be prompted to install again once it has been installed?

• How to update Windows after re-installing Vista 32 bit.

  I reinstalled Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my Dell E521 and 105 recommended updates to consider.  Should I install all and hope for the best, or is there a better way to ensure that only the most recent updates are included?  Tips appreciated.

  Thank you

  Terry

  You have need of all updates and service packs in the order.  Windows Update allows you to identify the first list and install all of them.  Then run it again before appear no more.  And then install SP1 if it did not appear as an update, then repeat the process.  Then install SP2 and repeat the process.  You will be so up-to-date.  You can't just install new updates - you need in such order as presented by Windows Update.

  I hope this helps.

  If you run Windows Update it is not a virus. However, if you try and update certificates through third party sites there's a chance it could infect your computer.

• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

  Hello again,

  Thought I would let you know that I've finally sorted this! :)

  In another forum I read a post from someone who had a similar problem and solved it by uninstalling the "failures" updated, restart the PC and then re-run the update. It worked! It had not occurred to me to try what I've assumed that 'impossible' meant that they had not installed at all, not that they didn't had simply not installed correctly and must have become corrupt.

  I hope this will help someone else who has the same problem, I've had!

  Best wishes

• Failed to get whatever it is based on to update windows

  Hello

  I recently had problems with windows update and many other things. Basically, it will not check the updates. When you click on check the updates, the Bar starts but remains stuck to the research. Then, I have also seen the basics of microsoft security did the same thing when you are trying to update. AVG free cannot install and I tried to install google chrome because I hate explore and he also failed due to the error of windows install. I tried manually install service pack 2 for windows, and it has also failed. Nothing to basic windows updates.

  I first noticed it when I moved in with my girlfriend and began using his laptop. It's a decent laptop and the first thing that I noticed it was a bit lazy and I checked the CPU usage and one thing was hoarding 70% all the time. It was the windows error reporting, or something similar, I disabled it through systems, but nothing has changed. That's when I tried to update windows and he had 1 important upgrade and 2 in option I did. I remember one completed and 2 does not, according to me, and after the computer has restarted the updater has not worked at all.

  I have tune up utilities, but it has not changed anything after we cleaned up various things. I also had one rid something malware for a free month of the trial with malwarebytes I think.

  I've seen people talk about command prompts and cleaning records, but I can't make them work properly.

  I do not get errors codes report which is also a problem because its still frozen on updates.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.]

  Thank you

  Hi neilawallace,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. what happened when you tried to install service pack?

  Method 1

  This can occur if the Windows update components are corrupted on the computer. I suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and check if you are able to install the updates.

  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Method 2

  You can also check if you are able to update the other program after placing the computer in a clean boot state.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
