Get updates for Vista on a stand-alone computer
My brother has a computer at home that is not connected to the internet. Its operating system is VISTA Home Basic 32-bit. The computer came with it and had no updates loaded to it. Is there a way for me to download or to get all updates and service packs needed.
Security updates are available on ISO-9660 DVD5 from the Microsoft Download Center image files

Original title: Windows of Vista SP2 update fails. Vista Upgrade option grayed out
Is no longer, I can download and install the updates for Vista SP2. I get error 80070490, who reports that Vista Service Pack 1 is no longer up-to-date. I downloaded and installed the "System Update Readiness Tool" without change in error. Repair Vista with DVD does not give me the upgrade option. My SP-2 is corrupt? Vista Service Pack 2 also went out of support?
Kind regards

original title: failed to get the security updates and critical update for Vista (KB2541763), to load for Vista
All the other updates, including security, for other Microsoft software will open (WIndows Explorer, Microsoft Office, etc.).
This seems to have started after downloading and installing McAfee on 6/17. Updates have been well before that date.
Service Pack 3 is installed.
All updates important/critical loading fine up until this date. I have 11 updates essential and important to load.
I totally removed McAfee from the PC, including the stage you purchase from McAfee for cleaning the system. Now run the ESET security suite.Hi Dan,.
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forum. Follow the troubleshooting steps in this thread for your problem with the 80070005 error. Alternatively, you can try to install the update in small groups to see if that fixes the problem.

I tried everything I know and I can't get Windows Update for Vista. I tried Fixit, F8 during restart, but without success.
Hello
You don't tell us if you get the error codes or not.
You need SP2 must be installed to support still available for Vista.
Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.
It will also tell you which SP you have installed.
Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

Drivers Vista MSN
Should Microsoft Vista drivers operate printer Brother HL-1240? I recently downloaded updates for Vista, and now I can no longer print on my printer Brother HL-1240. Updates are perhaps the cause of this problem? If this isn't the case, please let me know if I get the problem somewhere else.Hello
Your question is could a Windows Update may be charged a wrong Brother Printer Driver? Yes.
One way to know is to look in the history of updates to see what has been installed and uninstall then one that seems incorrect.
If you are an update of the Microsoft printer driver note that Microsoft updates pilot equipment for other manufacturers are not normally updated.
Here's how to uninstall specific updates;
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update
If an update is the problem and stop it reinstall > list of updates to install > right click on the incorrect update > UAC prompt > and then click Hide.
See you soon.
p.s. Always get the latest updates of the driver from the hardware manufacturer.
Also would it be a good idea if above does not work to download the last direct Brother printer driver; If necessary reinstall your printer...

Windows 7 - cannot get updates for Office 2003
After hours of talking on the phone, I turn on these forums for help.
I have Windows 7 x 64 Professional with all current updates. I also have MS Office 2003.
While I am able to receive and update the operating system, I get no prompt or suggested updates for Office 2003. From Office 2003 and then clicking on "Help/Check for Updates ' do nothing. Interesting is going to 'Control Panel/system and security/Windows Update' and then clicking on "get updates for other Microsoft products...". To learn more"anything also.

He IS NOT to GET any OTHER UPDATES of WINDOW ALSO, SO I UNINSTALL OFFICE & THOSE RECEIVED in UPDATES. ANY SUGGESTION? I NEED MY UPDATES! Help, please! Thank you
Nicole, workaround for the office at the moment updates is to download and install the same manually.
Look for them here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
Also check your Windows Update settings to ensure that you get also the office updates. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services
