Hi robin-elaine,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.
a. what operating system do you use?
b. If you are using vista then you service Pack1 installed in it?
I suggest to reset windows update components and then try to update your computer.
Method 1:
To reset the Windows Update components visit the link below and click on solve this button / follow the given steps to repair it yourself.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Method 2:
I also suggest that you download and run the tool update of the system on your computer, using the link below.System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

How I got my menu bar back, with the circle of discounting and the return at home
In Firefox 4 Home button will have been moved to the right side of the navigation bar.
By default the Stop, Go and Reload (Refresh) buttons are combined and attached on the right edge of the address bar.
When you type in the address bar, it will show the Go button. When loading a site is it shows the Stop button. Sometimes it shows the button reload.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize, you can then drag the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order 'Reload-Stop' on the right side of the address bar they will be together again. You can also move the home button also if you wish. For more information about customizing the toolbar, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you
You say that when you press the NUM LOCK key, the Numlock State does not change (if enabled to disabled and vice versa)? Have you tried to unplug the keyboard and by ensuring that the keyboard of the laptop does not have enabled Numlock? If so, turn it off on the laptop keyboard and reinsert the another keyboard and see if the problem is resolved.
If you do not need the Numlock key, it can be disabled at startup with the following procedure:http://www.technipages.com/enabledisable-numlock-at-login-or-startup.html. Once this is done, I don't think he's going to turn on or off and that they the keyboard will start in the off position. You will not be able to use the key yourself or another, but maybe the problem she is on (which is worse than it to be impossible to be turned on) will be resolved and I hope it will be enough for you.
If the key does not work and you want to be able to use it, the keyboard may be defective. Try the keyboard on another computer and see if you have the same problem. If so, the keyboard is defective and must be replaced.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
