Laptop Vista on Windows Update "Configuring Updates"

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

• Don't have the Windows Platform Update for Windows Vista in Windows Update.

  I tried to download the new Windows Live Messenger Beta, but it tells me I need to download this update of the platform before I can install the Messenger. I looked at the support page for the update of the platform and he said I can get it from windows update, but when I bring up windows update and search for new updates, it says that my computer is up to date. What could be the problem?
  I have Windows Vista x 64 Home Premium and I downloaded Service Pack 2 from windows update.
  If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

• Error code 652 on Vista sp2 windows update

  I get repeated error codes 652 on my computer laptop sp2 from Vista when I try to update windows. Problem just started this week with KB2416473, an update of safety for microsoft.NET framework. I have Registry Easy and tried to scan and clean registry, but this did not help. Can someone help me?

  Please use the backups created by "Registry Easy" to restore the registry information that he deleted. And to see what the users of it have to say, please read their comments here -http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/registryeasy.com

  If you don't know how to modify the registry manually and then using a registry editor to do is similar to the delivery of a firearm loaded at a 4 year old child.
  Bad editing the registry by a registry to suspect "cleaner" can make the system unusable and cause a no start. Your only recourse at this point is a clean reinstall of Vista.

  1. download and Save the .NET Framework installation check tool
  2. read the Guide to the user on the page above and to check the installation of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 by tool
  3. If it cannot be verified as being correctly installed, try to run a repair of programs and features.

  4. If a repair operation has not resolved the improper installation of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, then Uninstall it.
  5. download and Save full .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 package-

  7 reboot the system for the State of clean boot and disconnect the internet connection system that's for now.
  8. run dotnetfx35.exe by right clicking it and choosing "run as Administrator". Accept the UAC prompt to allow it to run high.
  9. once .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed, cancel the clean boot procedure, and then restart the system.
  10. once the system has recovered to the normal mode of Windows, reconnect the system to its internet connection.
  Allow all updates to install now.

  Well that isn't ideal, you might try running windows system restore to return the machine to a point in time before that this problem has occurred - you can try this as follows.

  Stop of the laptop and leave it like that for 10 seconds.

  Tap here to f11 as soon as you press the power button until you see a message "Windows is loading.

  On the next screen, select your Keyboard Layout and on the next screen, select Troubleshooting.

  Select 'Advanced Options', and then select System Restore.

  Click on yourcurrent system O and then wait as the system restore window opens.

• Presario SR5507F does not start for Vista after "Windows Update"

  One of my friends has a Compaq Presario SR5507F. She is old and doesn't know much about computers. She told me she had a message that an update of Windows was necessary, so she hit 'continue' and walked away. When she came back, the computer was restarted on a screen, she had never seen before: a black screen, with the 'C' and "Compaq" logo in red in the Center, with " and " on the lower left and " and v5.27 ' on the bottom right side.

  I checked to make sure that the keyboard was solidly connected - the NumLock lights etc flash momentarily when the computer starts.

  We have tried pressing ESC, F10 and F11, in various methods: turn on the computer, and then hit the button, turning on the computer using the button is pressed, turn on the computer and repeatedly hit the key, etc.. All had the same result - the screen with the logo of Compaq, and nothing else happens.

  I know that some on computers, but that me stem.

  Of course, she didn't know she should do a set of recovery discs, is not so... she.

  If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear.

  Hi biolabprof01,

  Sorry to hear about the sentence. There are a number of things to try. First, try the procedure described in this HP support document on Vista won't start do not.

  If you can, try to perform a System Restore or System Recovery.

  If you still cannot start and cannot access the System Recovery Wizard, you can order HP recovery disks (see the section on CD - ROM order page).

  I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
