• 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

  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.

• Whenever I turn on my computer there is always an icon of "ready to install update" showing. What are these updates and why so many?

  "When I turn off my computer, I have an icon of" ready to install update "in the upper right of the button 'disable' located between the"stand by"and"restart"buttons. In the past, I would occasionally get one of these notices, but now they happen whenever I'm on the computer. What are these updates and why they are so common and if they pose a threat to my computer?

  Hi Michael,

  Try the following.

  Step 1: Check if there is lack of updates.

  a. click Start, click all programsand then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

  b. on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site, click view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.

  (c) in the State of this window column, find the update failed to install and then click on the red X. A new window opens that displays the installation error code.

  d. Note the error number. (If any).

  Step 2: reset Windows Update components and then install updates. Visit the following link and click on Fixit.

• Stop indicates a ready to install update ready but the judgment does not install anything

  Using a Windows 7, 16 k RAM system, always had normal installation of updates when there is a "!" stated in the stop start button. Today, there is an indication that an update is ready to install, but when I stop, there is no indication that one or more updates is installed. and when I start the computer the "!" is still there in the start stop button. I tried see if there are specific updates available for the instillation, and no seems to be there. But, as noted, every time I'm going to stop there is indication of an update ready for instillation that is not installed with the computer of the system/stop. Direction/advice/thoughts?

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  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 remove the Web bar installed with update of Firefox?

  When I updated Firefox with 38.0.1, he installed a HUGE Web Bar at the top of the page with the arrows that take me to odd pages, home takes me to what is called Trovi a huge search the web bar, a drop-down arrow with all installed browsers, an icon for facebook, a sign icon music and the arrow that takes me on You Tube. It is above the original web bar with file, editing, display, history, bookmarks, tools and help on this. How can I remove this? When I right click on it says Web Bar and when I click on everything he says Bar Media Web, Version 2.0 Build 5435.23818 (18/11/2014) and when I click the end user contract, I get a warning from McAfee as a dangerous site! What is going on?

  A recent series of infections also falsified the Firefox program folder, if the above does not help, please try:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it is not about the deletion of your settings, it comes to ensure that program files are-own and contain no alien code files. As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 38.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  Any improvement?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  You can also check if Firefox has a no standard layout configuration. You can do so here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default "use system proxy" should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings. But you can try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

  Windows XP genuine advantage is provided for the computer you bought in 2002, you can not go to install on another computer.

  If you need run Windows XP, I suggest that you upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, and then download and install free Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP mode.

  Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click the option to purchase a key. Wait while loading of the Express Upgrade page, click on the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to buy it.

  Click Next, fill in your details (it is important that you do this because the product key will be sent to you as a backup in case you need to reinstall) enter your credit card information, click next to begin the upgrade, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement , click upgrade, wait while the software updates, (it may take 10 minutes or more, depending on the case, updates are required), your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a windows will pop up by notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional, your files, programs and settings stored, proceed to activate Windows 7 Professional.

• How to remove the notice to install WGA on start up?

  I don't have WGA installed. I do not want to install WGA.
  I know that Windows is valid because it has been installed on my Dell, when I bought it.
  Unless Microsoft said that Dell has installed pirated Windows, I do not see the need
  for WGA.

  On a large boot box appears asking me to download WGA.

  How can I remove this message?

• How to remove, or clean all MS updates in my journal of history? Windows XP SP3. IE8

  username: bottomtime - e-mail: * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Hello

  Recognizing the valuable suggestion provided by Jose Antonio Ponton Posada on 13 April, I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below for faster results.

  Rename the DataStore folder in the software distribution folder:

  1. click on the 'Start' menu on the main screen of Microsoft Windows. Select all programs to access all the programs and options available on the system.

  2. Select "Run" in the Windows menu. A box will appear that gives you the ability to open and run a specific folder

  3. Enter the following '% windir%\SoftwareDistribution\' in the menu 'run '. You are then taken to the section of the Distribution of software detected on your computer

  4. open the folder "data store". This folder contains all the files associated with the Windows updates, run in the past. To clear the history, you need to delete all the contents of this folder

  Restart your computer and you will have a clear history of Windows Update.

• How to remove or uninstall pre-installed programs?

  Compaq XP. I can't get into the D drive. There a padlock? I want to get rid of programs that I don't want the installation of the plant.

  If I remember correctly, it's been a while since I've dealt with a Compaq machine, the drive is locked in case of system restore.  If you want to get rid of programs, why don't you just go to add/remove programs and uninstall it from there?  Nobody says you have to do a system restore or a factory restore.
