Fix Windows Update

Hi, when windows update page load upward I get a pop up "website wants to install the module; Update of "MS windows component Publisher" WINDOWS, if you trust... Click here. Then the page crashes. Add on will not install.
In order to get the updates to work, I need to define my sercurity IE8 settings at the bottom and then turn the unsecure settings:
Download signed active x controls
Download unsigned active x controls
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting

So I have to refresh the WU page a few times to make it work.

I use XP Media and I believe I didn't have this problem until I downloaded the last update of "root certificate".
I tried to reinstall IE8 and played with DEP, but no luck.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the quick reply PA Bear.

I am running WinXP SP3 and using Sygate firewall, Norton AV & Systemworks.

I tried the MS Fix and reinstalled IE8 with AV & FW off, but no luck.

I then remembered that I was playing with the options in the "Cleaning your computer" section of Systemworks and returned and unchecked "Active X controls" in "clean Internet clutter... '. ", which seems to cure the problem.

Guess I should write what I do when I play with my computer!

  • What will fix Windows Update error 80244004?

    Windows Update will not work. Tried to solve this program has no error 80233004 fix.  How does one resolve this issue?

    Tip: Uncheck the option to uninstall the hotfix of CCleaner & leave it like that. If you are concerned about hard disk space, see this archived discussion rather-online http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

    Your misguided use of registry cleaners is the troublemaker more likely here. If you had agreed to by default CCleaner prompt to save backups of changes using the registry cleaner, simply restore these backups (followed by a reboot) probably would fix anything.

    But since you don't have any backups, your only recourse now is to format the hard drive & then perform a new installation of Windows.

    Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

    TIP: If you think that more never your registry database needs to be cleaned, repaired, boosted, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, magnified, "swept" or optimized (and you need still more convincing that it's not), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • How to fix Windows update configured to never install drivers

    None of my USB sticks work, says no driver installed.  Troubleshooting report says "windows update configured in a way to never install drivers". How can I fix?

    Hi Phil,

    Thank you for your update on the issue.

    1. Have you tried to connect your USB stick with all the USB ports on your system?
    2. You are able to install all Windows updates.

    As you have tried to choose the option always to install the best driver from Windows Update software already, I suggest once, click the radio button for Yes, this automatically (recommended), save changes and check if the problem persists.

    Also, I suggest you try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers and check with the question.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.
