How can I activate the microsoft update service?

I need to get the update from Microsoft for other products.  I already have Windows Update, but also need Microsoft Update.  Error message says:

Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computer
Make sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again.
More troubleshooting options

  • If your computer is connected to a network and the problem persists, contact your system administrator to see if your Microsoft Update settings are managed by using Group Policy.
  • If your computer is not connected to a network, or if your system administrator has not disabled Microsoft Update, check if the Windows Update service is disabled or stopped. For information about how to start a service, search help and Support on your computer. Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computer
    Make sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again.
    Note: If you encounter problems with the installation of Microsoft Update, you can continue to get updates for your computer by going to Windows Update in control Panel.

  • I do not understand the instructions above.  I have log on as an administrator.  Where exactly is the place to solve this problem?  Thanks a lot for helping me.

Yes, Mr. Difficulté tried it 50202 and nothing worked.  I was looking forward to a solution, so I ended up doing a system restore complete with discs that I did when I had this computer.  Then I did an inplace upgrade.  Still so many problems.  After hours and hours, I finally got to meet up with a working computer.  Thanks for your help.  You know much more that I do all of this.

    Hello

    (a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.

    (b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.

    (c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\

    (d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.

  • How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    HP pavilion D4100Y

    Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

    No error message

    No recent changes

    Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

    I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

    How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.

    Look under the tabs "Services" and "Boot". Uncheck update HP agent, select 'Apply' and close.
