IE crashes when you try to install Microsoft Update

I'm using XP w/SP3 installed.  Windows update works fine and I've installed all the updates available; However, when I try to change to Microsoft Update, I hear the blip to allow ActiveX must be installed, but IE is frozen and does not display the bar or shows only a part of it.  I have disabled all add-ons and run more of the FixIt for IE and update options.  I have also reset Windows Update by using the FixIt and also manually re-register dll update involved.  I use IE 8 and have re-installed two times - no change in problem.  Is it possible to manually install the required ActiveX for Microsoft Update, or I can find and manually install updates for Office for this system?

McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. Even if things seem to be OK now, I highly recommend doing the following to avoid any problem (for example, during the installation of the updates of security this month over the next week).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ACTIONS:

[You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. [If a step said to restart, restart!]

1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. After completing some, you have a copy of your key of handy product, uninstall McAfee Total Protection via Add/Remove Programs, restart to a command prompt.

4 IMPORTANT! -Online enable WF immediately after the reboot!

NB: Now you're "working without a net": do not to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation reading E-mail; cat) until you have finished step #7 below!

5. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

6. do a clean install of McAfee Total Protection (using your product ID, if need be) & restart. If you purchased the software directly from McAfee, go to https://home.mcafee.com/Secure/Protected/Login.aspx to connect and download your software.

7. manually and repeatedly updated McAfee application until you get one invite "no updates more".

8. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

9. IMPORTANT - DON'T SKIP THIS STEP! Open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 from => and run the automated troubleshooter from end to end. [1]

10. restart once again.

11. open Internet Explorer (only!) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | Install the available security updates. Follow all the instructions.

-Online if an update of root certificates is listed under the category of updates software optional on the left side of the window of scan results, install it to enjoy greater security of IE8.

-Online Tip: do NOT install any other updates software optional or any updated material in option .

12. in response to this post with a status report.

  • 0x800A0046 error when you try to install the updates

    From: RCTaubert

    I just did a clean install of Vista Ultimate.  After downloading all the Vista updates, using Windows Update.  More updates installed for a few failed. I reinstalled Office Pro 2007.  I tried to install "Microsoft Update so I can get the Vista & Office updates on a single screen.

    From the "Windows Update" screen, I clicked on 'Get updates for more products'.  Which takes me to '

    http://www.update.Microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-us '.  I except the "terms of use" and click on "install".  I click on UAC to continue and immediately meet with the error message and the next failure: 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.

    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.  [Error number: 0x800A0046]

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    Error code 80242FFF when you try to install security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)

    I've read other discussions on error code 80242FFF.  Based on suggestions from Microsoft technical support, I tried Mncrosoft Fixit.  Also, I started my computer in mode safetboot and tried to update.

    They did not work.  So, will you be able to help me find a solution?

    Thank you
