Installation of Microsoft updates

Can you please explain why it is that the regular updates, which are essential to the good health of a pc, seem to use all my space on the drive 'C '.  Is it not possible to install a plant replace in your updates so that as a new one is mounted, is removed and save memory space?

  • Windows Vista won't start after installation of microsoft updates

    I just install microsoft updates, then the computer is turned off and it does not load windows.  A box appears that says
    Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library.
    This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.  For more information, contact the application support team.

    The options are to click OK or close the box.  I tried both and it just keeps popping up the same box as above.

    Hi Mas_007,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I have a few here that might solve the problem.

    A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

    To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

    (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    [Error number: 0x800A01AE]

    I AM logged on as administrator (it's actually the only account on the system other than the guest account: I have renamed the main administrator account and use it as my account {I know this isn't the best practice, but I always did like it and it makes things easier being the administrator, especially since I changed the name for security reasons}).  I have a small home network wireless, but have no defined group policy (no server - just-to-peer).  The Windows Update Service is launched and running (but I stopped and restarted it just to be safe).

    I don't quite know what to do next.  I would like to be able to access this site for updates that cancelled or failed during the update process automatic (and who seem not to be re - that appear as options when I check the updates).

    Hello

    You try to go actually on here Windows Updates site?

    http://www.update.Microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

    This site does not work for Vista. You must use the Windows built-in to Vista updates or download them
    sites I posted for you last time.

    Absolutely do not use the default Administrator account. Just make a new Admin account to
    use and leave the other to test and difficulty. In fact, make an Admin NOW account to use to test and fix
    According to the needs. If your sole administrator corrupts you will have a big headache.

  • Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

    In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

    Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

    Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

    Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

  • After uninstalling printer Windows Installer and Microsoft Office error "this update package not could be opened"

    Original title: Windows Installer and Microsoft Office problems after you have uninstalled the printer

    I tried to install more than one printer, a HP Photosmart C4280 by downloading the drivers and updates on the HP site. I uninstalled the printer after it failed to scan a document and I had no more use for it. Then the trouble started. When I tried to open some programs (iTunes, Skype, etc.) for the first time after the uninstall of the printer, a window "Windows Installer" popped up. After you have configured Windows Installer, the program would open normally. However, when I try to open any Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.), Windows Installer appears, but it turns into a window that reads:
    "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package. »

    Microsoft Office programs are open at all, and I desperately need my programs of Microsoft Office to work even faster. I would appreciate it if Windows Installer will stop trying to configure when I open a program also. Can someone help me please?
