Need to run Windows Update online

Please note:
I chose the 'Windows Vista' forum, but the link to this forum.  Please move my question to the right place.  Thank you!
========================================
I need to run Windows Update to www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx instead of from the Panel.  Can I disable the "automatic" version, or is there another way to go beyond this?

The problem is that my ISP limits the size of downloads of the day, unless I have download only for a certain period of time during the night.  I can't afford to have my computer slow down to dial-up speed during the day below, and since I don't want to give general approval of Windows Update to download and install, I can not limit his schedule.

Thank you in advance.

    need to run windows in safe mode with network to have browserws working properly. using IE and Firefox. Web site fisting comes in following correctly sites just waiting for the website tab help

    If it works in Windows safe mode, then you have a problem with other software, maybe a security software or a system driver that runs on your computer.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Need help with Windows Update, error

    Whenever I try to run Windows Update, I get an error Code 80070490.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Claire,
     
    The error you receive occurs if there is corruption in the manifest of component maintenance base.  The only way to fix this is to do a "repair" of Windows Vista installation.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958044/en-us
    The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD .

    If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

    • When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now .
    • Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online .
    • Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears

    Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

  • I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005

    I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005, I also ran fix and it tells me that it is fixed but it is not getting the same error code when I try to update after running it help please?

    Hello

     
     

    1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

    2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

    3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    4 update you are trying to install?

    5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?


    If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
     
    Method 1:
    One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
    Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2:
    I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968003
    This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Are you sure that the Virus has been completely removed from your system? The behavior you describe looks like maybe it's still there, or there may be damage he did while he was in your system.

    You can try running this repair order: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  • Blue screen, cannot run Windows Update

    I was browsing Reddit when all of a sudden my laptop decided NOPE and closes everything down to make an update. It was 03:00 so I wasn't thinking straight and closed on the rise and went to bed. The next day, while in the class my phone showed me a blue screen with some writing for everything... long enough not to read what was then asked if I wanted to start in different security modes. I thought that this could be because I interrupted an update and I tried to run Windows Update, but it will still not open.   I can't access anything whatever, and I have a paper in four days... Help, please!

    We need the DMP file because it contains the single record of the sequence of events that led to the accident, what drivers have been loaded, and what has been loaded.

    WE NEED AT LEAST TWO FILES DMP TO SPOT TRENDS AND TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.

    If you're overclocking (pushing components beyond their design) return you to default at least until the crash is resolved. If you don't know what it is that you're probably not overclocking.
    You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting in SafeMode (F8) with networking.
    If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are that if you are unsure if you are, you are not)
    To allow us to help you with symptoms BSOD on your computer, download the contents of your folder "\Windows\Minidump".
    The procedure:
    * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another location (temporary) somewhere on your machine.
    * Zip up the copy (compress)
    * Please download to a service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" to share files and put a link to them in your answer.
    Link to find out how to download below.
    To ensure the minidumps are enabled:
    * Click Start, in the search box, type: sysdm.cpl, press ENTER.
    * On the Advanced tab, click Startup and recovery... Settings button.
    * Make sure that automatically restart is unchecked.
    * Under the writing debugging information header, select image partial memory (256 KB) in the list box drop-down (varies from 256kb).
    * Ensure to that small Dump Directory is listed as % systemroot%\Minidump.
    * OK your way out.
    * Reboot if changes have been made.
    Please also run MSinfo32 and download the output as well.
    To run MSinfo32 please go to start > run > MSinfo32
    Go to 'file', 'save' and download the PDF is saved with the DMP
    System specs are extremely useful then please include everything you know.

    Blue screen view and that crashed are often wrong and should only be used in case of emergency...

  • How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

    My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

    You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

  • Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

    You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

    Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

    Phil

    If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

    Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.
