• Vista security updates cause IE does not connect to internet

  x 2 last month, when I ran the Vista security updates, I have been unable to get to all the websites with IE8.  I have a connection to the internet, but IE will not connect to all websites.

  This is a laptop and I am currently wireless, however I had the first problem with updates when wired, then, happens to be it.  I have to go and uninstall updates of security one at a time until I have found the culprit.  This time it was KB974571, the last time it was KB972260.  I disabled updates now because I'm tired of this.

  I am completely disgusted with Vista.  MS should provide XP for anyone wishing to revisit it, for free.  I'd be at the front of the line

  If somebody can tellme why security updates would cause this problem, I would appreciate it.

  Thank you

• Can I save on all windows vista premium updates that failed?

  I am using windows Vista Premium, as mentioned above, and I have updates that have failed up to two years.  I started with 'SP1' and I migrated to "SP2" despite the large number of updates failed.

  I also have a large number of chess updates for Office 2007 and a few others.  I should probably mention that my original Vista Acer drive has been moved (probably lost).  I'm operating a valid OS despite self made. and manuals windows license verification work.  In the end, it seems that these updates failed eventually cause problems.

• Three Windows Vista security updates continue to fail every time.

  Three Vista updates fail every time Windows Update tries to install.  They seem to settle in Windows Update and then require a reboot to complete.  During the restart of the system required, "Configuring updates 3/3 ' always shows 0% complete then finally said the ' configuration updates are not correctly installed and updates to return back and restart the system, then ends."

  These are the updates:

  Update security for WIndows Vista (KB2691442)

  Update security for WIndows Vista (KB2655992)

  A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for WIndows Vista (KB2719177)

  I tried several times with the same negative result of "failing".

  I got a Windows Defender Update yesterday and only one installed perfectly, but they are still pending.

  Suggestions?

  Thank you!

• Repeated error codes: 80073712 and 800 b 0100 update SP2 and Vista security update

  I have recently reinstalled Windows Vista, and I'm constantly getting error codes when I try to download the updates. So far, I found solutions for all of them, but I can't find solutions for the updates listed below.

  I thought that maybe the old files make it difficult for Windows to date.

  Information on my computer:
  System model: Compaq Presario CQ 50 Notebook.
  Name of the operating system: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic
  Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002
  System type: X 86-based PC

  Error Codes and updates include:
  1. Update for Vista (KB979559) - error Code: 80073712

  2 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 update for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (KB974470) - error Code: 800 b 0100

  Another thing is, whenever I try to download these updates, my computer always wants me to reboot.

  I tried following instructions to solve the problem of error code found on the Microsoft Solutions:
  1. I have disabled the firewall PC Tools Antivirus and Windows. Tried to download again and no luck.
  2. I ran the Microsoft FixIt "System Update Readiness Tool", and he said he couldn't find any problems.
  3. I've been through the tool administrator CMD System File Checker, and he says "not found any breach of integrity.

  Yesterday, I tried to download SP2 from Windows Update, and I got the error code: 8024200d. I then downloaded from the Microsoft Web site, and it worked fine. I tried to download the SP2 update on the site, and it failed.

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
  Thank you!

  Why did you have to reinstall Vista and how did you do?

  A Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  As he says to ^{https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455:}

  "After you install security update 3013455, you may notice a degradation in quality of text in some scenarios. The problem occurs only on systems running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. »

  It made my unusable Vista SP2 and I was forced to remove 3013455.  Many have this problem.  When Microsoft fix this update, or leave the other four questions in a separate update?

  [revised & added below]

• 10 for Vista security updates do not settle. Have tried everything I can find on the web, here, difficulty-it... ad nauseam.

  Windows Update tried to install "10 updates important" for several days, and all have failed to install.  I have tried everything I can even, at one point, purchase ImproveSpeed that one of the web pages of Microsoft directed me, claiming that would fix it.  Nothing I've tried has solved the problem and I've tried everything but manually change the registry which I don't feel comfortable doing so.  I spent $ 40.00 for ImproveSpeed and that has not worked... Please, someone, please help.  This is nutz.

  Something seems not good.

  Agreed.

  Did you ever get McAfee Security Center updated (for example, definitions)?

  Have you already followed steps #8, #9 & #10?

  You have a functional antivirus application (with updated definitions) installed now?

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

  Rhea answer Desk technology, was correct: since "Mainstream support" for Vista SP2 ended on April 10, 2012, Microsoft offers is no longer support for security updates.  Similarly, MS has not offered this support to users of Windows XP to the last few years. [Yes, this is all very confusing!]

  PS: If a technician of the Office of response can not get your problem solved in the first 15 minutes (free), they will want to access your computer remotely in order to help you further (in most cases)- but only after you have paid the Premium support fees. Actually, I was very surprised to hear that McAfee won't charge you anything for their support - unless you had already purchased McAfee Total Protection.
