Not able to install the update to Security Advisory 2718704 security.

Original title: Security Advisory 2718704.

Hello

I am running Windows XP Tablet SP2 because SP3 trashes my graphics card.
Should I worry about FLAME? What do you recommend?
When I tried to apply the patch, I got a message that I need SP3!

Thank you

Info: Support for WinXP SP2 ended nearly two years ago.

Fact: The computer lacks literally scores of critical security updates.

Fact: The computer in question must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

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

OPTION A: Take the computer to a local computer equipment recycler & kiss goodbye.

OPTION B: Format the hard drive and then do a clean install (another?) of Windows. [Remove Acronis images previously created in advance].

Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ): http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

Tip: If you still have problems with the pen after cleaning install, chances are that you just need a driver updated for the capture software. You should be able to find the update of the pilot on the bridge or the device, the manufacturer download pages.

Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

I have nothing to contribute to this discussion.

  • Not able to install the updates, tried several times to date, 643 as an error code.

    I have this PC, just a few days, with Windows 7. When I try to install updates day or the other so that the closure of the PC or doing it for the PC works, I always get a message that it failed. It is written code 643. And it is on these updates (I do not know if I translate it's good): Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688), a security update Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430), Suite Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2).
    I tried to install them separately too and I probably have enough space on the hard drive.
    I would be happy for any help. Thank you.

  • Not able to install the update from Windows Update

    I did a "check for updates" on my "Windows Update" last night and told me that I had to update my Windows Update until I can check the updates.  Then I hit the button install (on Windows Update).  Then immediately, I got the error of WindowsUpdate_xxxx (sorry, that I did not write the number).  I hit Cancel, struck again "check for updates" and instead saw my old list of pending updates (those are updated optional fair, not recommend/important ones and should not block the new update).

    I've closed Windows Update tried again and saw that even "you must update your windows update" once again, press 'install', got the same error.

    After that I canceled this time, I no longer get any message asking me to update my Windows Update.  I rebooted my machine, still nothing, just my old list of updates on my Windows Update.  On my editing history, I do not see that anything that is dated today.

    Manually download this update for my Windows Update somewhere?

    I have Windows Vista SP2.  Thank you.

    -----

    my computer will not install the update of security for Windows XP (KB2481109) can you help me.

    Hello

    (a) don't you try to install the update manually?

    (b) you get any error message?

    (c) don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    (d) what anti-virus software is installed on your computer?

    I suggest you try the steps below and check if it helps

    Method 1:

    If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you to temporarily disable a software antivirus installed on the computer and check if the same problem occurs

    Note: Please make sure that you activate the software of Antivirus\Firewall after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 2:

    I would say as you try to perform the clean boot and then try to install the update and check if it helps, here is the link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    I bet that if you check the size of the file that has been downloaded it will be probably very small, indicating that it was not downloaded correctly.

    I don't think you have another computer at hand, or a friend with a USB key which may be able to download and copy it for you?  Maybe burn it to a CD or something.

    I could download it and save it to my desktop so I am confident that it is not a problem with the link itself or the file is available for download with success.

    I know this isn't a very good suggestion, but the only other option would be to challenge support and see if a technician can take control of your machine and see if they can solve the problem of internet explore.

    Hi JosephR,

    In some other threads that I saw about problems with this particular update, the problem has been resolved with one of two things.

    First of all, I suggest you reset your Windows Components update.  Please take a look at the article below with the Fixit to do it for you:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    If this does not help, the issue could also be caused by a rootkit on your system.  Please take a look at the similar thread below where the poster was able to resolve the problem through Taupo Tech by removing the rootkit:

  • I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP

    I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9.  Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00.  It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router.  Chess began the same night, May 9.  Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed.  I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.

    Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.

    Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.

    If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall.  All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords.  If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.

    No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.

  • "NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close"error after installing the update of security KB2707511

    After you install the update of security KB2707511 when I try to open a ms - dos 16-bit program, I get the following error: "NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. " Application does not start. I can run without error command.com. Uninstall KB2707511 in Control Panel, add & delete, the application works. Install KB2707511 error occurs.

    I have a lot of customers running a 16-bit MS-DOS - program that receives the same error.  It seems not to be a malware problem, as it is homogeneous across many machines (unless, of course, all have the same problem of malware).  By uninstalling the KB2707511 and the KB2709162 they all work. Something in these updates is in conflict with something in these dos programs causing the "NTVDM. Erorr EXE'.

  • Not able to install the application, asking family SMEs of installation

    Original title: iam not able to install the app it ask family SMEs of installation

    IAM able to install apps it ask some family configuration

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum. I will definitely help you with this.

    I would like to know;

    1. What you are trying to install applications?
    2. You are the administrator of your computer?

    You can set up a family safety account or you may be referred by the primary user. For the children of family security controlled, if game Restrictions are lit, depending on the setting you have (lower than 10, teen, mature etc), your child will be able to download applications that meet the coast.

    Here's what I suggest, if you wish to:

    1. Go to https://familysafety.microsoft.com and login as parent
    2. Check the setting of the game.

    You can do two things

    • Put out of the game restrictions or
    • Change the restriction of adult game

    Once your child has downloaded the application, parent go back to the family site, turn on the Restriction of game or set the game side to one appropriate for your child.

    For more information:

    Use security for the family with the Windows store

    Also, in the list of game for your childs account, make sure that the app is in the whitelist if your username already has but gets blocked by parental control due to permissions issue.

    Let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.
