  • Every time I have download and install updates to vista security I have reinstall mozilla firefox, why?

    Whenever I have download and install the vista security updates I lose Mozilla Firefox. The program and the icon still exist but do not respond. By clicking on the icon or clicking on the program files does produce absolutely no response.
    So any time I install updates, I have to run internet explore and firefox redownload. Most annoying. Help.
    P.S. Yes, firefox is my default browser.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program has been implemented.
    trust the previous version of Firefox, but not more acknowledges your
    update as being approved. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version).
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of programs approved or recognized. For detailed instructions, see

    I think that the decision of the antivirus program is a personal opinion

    I put t like McAfee and Norton because they need a lot of system resources and do a slower computer.
    I prefer AntiVir and Kaspersky Security suite. The two programs have good scan engine and don t need a lot of system resources. They are easy to use to use it.
    AntiVir is free but it s just an antivirus. Kaspersky Security suite also contains a firewall, antispam filter and more.

    It s your choice what program you are using. ;)

  • HP 15-r100nia note: cannot install Updats after download

    PLEASE FRIENDS, I CHECKED FOR UPDATE WITH MY LAPTOP BUT AFTER DOUNLOADING, WHEN INSTALLING MY SYSTEM WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL UPDATES, HIS WATCH HAS FAILED.

    Thanks @ BHK6, problem solved.
    I have decided to re - run the Windows Update and download batch.

  • Computer will not properly install update KB976098 + new software

    I was a lot by browsing this site and saw that many people is facing the same problem. What I did find was a person with software problems.

    My computer was purchased 26/11 this year with Windows 7 pro + Microsoft office home and student . One day Windows were 27 updates to install and therefore has been left overnight. In the morning update no. 27 was still install and never finished. Had to restart the computer to exit the update screen. days later there were 4 updates to install. Still once, the last update was never completed.

    Now, there's only 1 update important remaining, KB976098 , the fix for the time zones that I presume.

    Not only the update will not install, now the new software may not be installed properly:

    I tried some actions (such as downloading stuff, install software, games) while windows tried to install the
    Update:

    • During the installation (for example.) Adobe Reader, Comodo FireWall took more than a minute to display its notice of default on an attempt to install software on the computer and therefore compromised the initial installation.
    • Turn off Comodo Firewall does not solve the problem. Delay of the computer respond when an action of the instalation was performed is the same.
    • The installation of update process could not be stopped once he was "installation."
    • The icon of 'disable' had no notification "update", but once to close the office and displays the message "loging off", the computer is never extinguished.
    • While playing an online game, nothing unusual has happened, no delay on start-up or exit.
    • When you save things like a packadge power point (for conferences of 2007 to display on older versions) the application would freeze and the package has never been created
    • Presentations PowerPoint would have graphics errors, such as the black and white rectangles containing all movable objects.

    After Force-reboot of the computer, cancel the auto-update feature and remove it from the list self-install, I retested evevrything:

    • Adobe Reader has been installed successfully, even with Comodo Firewall active
    • Comodo Firewall has reacted instantly to any attempt installation
    • More online games the same
    • PowerPoint correctly displays images and created packages without error
    • Turn the computer off was possible without forcing the stoppage.

    Now, I'm checking the updates installed and found out there are only installed 23 (in the Control Panel installed updates ). The history of the update displays more than 74 update. As mentioned previously, the first batch of update contained 27 updates, No 23 or 24. I checked some of these updates to the story:

    • There are a few updates, eg. update of security for microsoft office system who have 10 diferent KBs (being the first of its kind, his last KB974234 KB936514). Five of them have been installed twice: KB936514; KB951944; KB954326; KB956828; KB960003

    I guess in these 74 updates, replacents occurred in 23 updates, and some are not microsoft partners to be included in the Panel of installed updates . I really don't know, that's why I am asking :D

    I tried the more possible ways to install the update, downloading it mannualy, disabling the firewall, close all other applications, etc. etc...

    I would like to know the following:

    1. Why is not install update KB976098?
    2. Why other users have the same problem with recent updates?
    3. How to prevent the installation of update if the stop command does not work?
    4. How can I turn off the computer without having to install the downloaded update?
    5. Are double downloaded updates a problem?

    I wrote this for so long now. If I forgot anything, the question might be already in the text.

    Thank you for your time and patience! :)

    Read the "Updates since the previous cumulative Windows time zone update" section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976098. If you do not reside in one of these 14 zones, really useless this not (IMHO) security-related update, so you can just "hide":

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator >
    (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its content
    Close the window.

    3 start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update: Select the installed updates: right click on the Update for Windows 7 (KB976098) | Click hide update | Confirm the prompt UAC (User Account Control), if any, & OK your way out.

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > Right click on run , and then select run as administrator > services.msc (type) > [OK]
    Double-click automatic updates > click Start
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    =====================================
    To restore/show updates in Win7: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install. Click restore. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.
    =====================================

    Comment: For some reason, a lot of Win7 users have had problems trying to install KB976098. for example, http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/b620bb51-11e9-48f4-9a45-4034498cb8e1

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Usually, you get this error during the installation of the software updates. If Microsoft found some problems in the digital signature of the update is when you usually get this error.

  • T61 Wireless does not not after installing updates of wireless and electric management

    Few days back I have updated my T61 (via ThinkVantage - update my system) and there was 2 updates related to:

    (1) wireless

    (2) power management.

    Since the update, my wireless is not working. I tried to uninstall and install the wireless driver. I have created a new home network, but nothing helped. Radio off and on. Ethernet connection works fine

    Wireless adapter is: Wifilink Intel 4965AGN

    OS is Win XP with SP3

    Was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problem.

    Thank you

    Harish

    Thank you all for the responses.

    After trying various combinations, below think fixed my problem

    1. on my DLink router, change the level of security WPA2 only (previously the WPA2-PSK)

    2. then I changed the setting wireless on my T61 such that Windows would be Manager wireless

    It seems that the question was a tug of war between Lenovo and Windows tries to manage wireless.

    Its been 8 hours now and I do not see the symptoms so far.

    Thanks again.
