I get a major update, KB2538242, to install, I installed 31 times now, but keeps returning

It's ALL new for me. I don't know if I'm answering Dena or I answered myself. In any case, I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, IE 9. No remedy online were working. Microsoft Solution Center & Community, no responses.  I called Microsoft and got a tech and after 4 hours on the phone, it has been resolved. The tech had to install a program called Revo Uninstaller Pro 2.5.8.  A ran this program and then installed Windows Installer. And which clarifies that headache.  The problem was that I couldn't install some updates. I kept getting an error code 80070641 and another error code just the number 641.

Now I got another problem, I receive a significant update to install.  I installed this update 31 times now and he comes back and it was installed successfully every time. The update is as follows - update of security for Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242).

  • I tried to install the previous version, but keep on getting the latest version.

    I discovered that Norton Safe ID does not work in the latest version of Firefox (I also discovered that it is a problem of Symantec). I installed the previous version of Firefox and was so happy, my Norton Safe Search and Safe ID was back. I kept getting notices asking to upgrade to the latest version. I don't know and make sure that I do not start the upgrade. Unfortunately, while I wasn't looking, installed Firefox last version... I tried to return the previous version, but it keeps the installation on the most recent version. Until Symantec solves the problem, I would like to use the previous version. I have Internet Explorer, that I do not particularly like, I prefer Firefox. No idea how I can temporary solve the problem of Symantec. Thank you. Blenda.

    Hello

    This is a problem caused by Symantec do not receive an update pretty quickly. They said that an update is due at the end of October, so I hope that is soon.

    I always recommend use you the most recent and and an updated version of Firefox. This ensures you get the new features as well as all stability and security fixes.

    On the installation of an earlier version, if you want to prevent the update of Firefox, type Subject: preferences #advanced in the address bar and click on Update. Here you will find options to disable updates to update, but as mentioned, this is not recommended.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

  • Sansa Firmware Updater fails to install every time...

    I have had my Sansa View for about 2 months now. I have never been able to install the Sansa firmware update. It seems to go through all the steps, then suddenly steps back on the "download the latest Sansa Updater" and says that failed (once just a second before this step was completed successfully). It seems to with success download it, install it, then save, then he can make another step or it may fail on the registration... I can't. All the steps after downloading disappear and now it says that the step does not and gives me the error message "Installation failed. Please try again later. "I think 2 months is much later...

    I am running Windows XP SP3 32-bit. The windows firewall is disabled and I use COMODO Internet Security and I use Avira Antivirus. I tried to disable the firewall and the antivirus just to see if they are the cause of the problem, but it has no effect on the results of the installation. In addition, COMODO logs do not show any activity blocked the Installer (or whatever it is blocked at all today). My account is an administrator account.

    Now, I think it should be noted that I don't need an update of the firmware. My player integrates the latest version from the website. What I really want is to convert my videos so that I can use them on the player. Unfortanetly there is no way to install the Sansa Media Converter without installing the Firmware Updater (ahh... how many times I tried wasn't the case... but alas...).

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    SOLUTION: I found a thread on the forum of Sansa View that describes the required parameters for the conversion of the video correctly to play on my device. (Here: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=view&thread.id=3300) Given that I don't need to update my firmware (and lets hope I don't) it is a perfect solution for me (especially considering the horrible things I've heard of the SCM).
