  • Unable to access updates for windows xp home edition (sp3) via "Fix - it", Windows Update or Microsoft Update and Windows Update

    Hello

    I have download a new download "Fix - it"; all the convenience of work with the exception of "Windows Update".  Also I went through self-help suggestions in "go-microsoft", but nothing helped.  I also tried the "cmd" method (i.e.: start, run, cmd and then copy and paste each .dll for windows update); 1 a .dll could not be found, and two other 2 couldn't register.  After Windows Update represented existing 'cmd' method, I then, well my system recognized the appropriate software update and allowed me to press the 'Express' butotn to an update of high priority for installation (e.g.: Cumulative Security Update for Windows XP...) Sorry, but I forgot the KB #), unfortunately, he could not install, then I ran Windows Update again and pressed the 'Custom' button and three 3 software update optional appeared, as well as an XP update.  Once again, all the selected custom updates has not installed.  I am therefore at a disadvantage as to how I can access necessary security updates for my computer and would appreciate contact me promptly to address this urgent problem.  Thank you much in advance - arldarl

    Hello Tommy.

    Thanks for sharing the information above to remedy my Windows Update and please accept my apologies for my being too general with my question.

    After many hours of running the programs above, SuperAntivirus found 1 an Adware and 55 Tracking Cookies; MalwareBytes found 1 1 that a horse of Troy, and EsET found Trojan horse more!  My computer is vulnerable, so 'thank you '... I would never have known to load/run these particular l, and nor would I knew I had these TAPI problems in my computer.

    After several attempts of installing/re-installing 'Fix - it' (i.e.: deletion of multiple copies associated with my Microsoft Online ID), I was unable to make progress, so I ended up check my Services and found BITS to be set up as 'Network' instead of 'Local '.  I made this change, Windows Update, and the Cumulative Update has began to download - finally!

    I suspect that any of your suggestions, and my little trick got Windows Update to work?

    Thanks a lot a lot - arldarl

  • How to remove downloaded updates for Windows 7

    How can I delete downloaded updates of Windows 7?  While the updates are being downloaded, apparently I lost my internet connection then maybe that these were not completely downloaded. When I was prompted to install the updates, I did.  During the stop, the computer only installed15% and then stop.  I am now invited that updates were not properly installed.  I have updated manually several times over with the same results.  Should I delete the old downloaded updates and start again?  If so, how do remove these updates downloaded so I start again.  Thank you.

  • I'm more able to download updates for Windows, including individual KBs.

    All the updates stopped IE8 download, as well as all the downloads from Windows Update, 5 days ago on XP machine.  Worked perfectly before.  Have tried everything including the individual download KBs.  Nothing works.  Windows Installer is set to automatic and is enabled.  Can't find solution proposals.

    Original title: update download problems

    Howdy Vernon,

    No, don't run any FixIt.

    Instead, follow these steps:

    Tap Start > type cmd > and press ENTER to get a command prompt

    type in
    net stop wuauserv 

    Go to Windows Explorer.
    Look on your system (usually C) drive and see the name of the Windows folder. Like Windows or WINNT.
    Edit following as appropriate.
    If your Windows folder is C:\Windows.  Look at this file
    C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

    If you find files in there, remove them.  This file is where the Windows Update files are stored downloads.

    Return to the command prompt window.
    type in
    net start wuauserv 

    OUTPUT

    Restart the system and then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc...
    When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
    Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
     
    Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
     
    When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.
