  • APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

    Will be APSB15-27 will install automatically if flash is set to automatic update?  How do you determine if it's installed?

    Hello

    Yes, if the Flash is set to the automatic update, then the system automatically update to the latest version, 19.0.0.226.  There are several ways to determine if the system is updated:

    Windows:

    • Check the version number in the files saved to:

      • C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
      • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    • In the registry:
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer > CurrentVersion

        • But if you have more than one browser, you can check the version of each type of player:

          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX > Version
          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper > Version
          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPluginReleaseType > Version
      • If you have the 64-bit operating system, you will want to check the Wow6432Node corresponding node as well (although the installed version should be the same for both 32-bit versions and 64-bit)

    OS X:

    • NPAPI plugin: / Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion
    • PPAPI plugin: / Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion

  • Vista updates repeatedly fails to install (error 800b0100 code and 80073712)

    original title: Vista updates repeatedly fails to install

    I get 80073712 and 800 b 0100 error codes when you try to update for Windows Vista (KB968389),

    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86, and update for Windows Vista (KB975467) ISecurity. I tried the patch but no luck.  How can I download these updates?

    Download and run the system update tool.

    (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821/)

    Try to install updates again.

    Note After you run the tool, the Checksur.log file is located in the following location:

    %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\

    In a default installation of Windows Vista, this file is located in the following folder:

    C:\Windows\Logs\CBS

    A general solution, *IF* is no malware problem, would be to run the system update tool.

  • Automatic updates has attempted to install KB963707 repeatedly, preventing the installation of SP1.

    Laptop with Vista Home Premium 32-bit tries to install KB963707 again and again and more, preventing the installation of SP1. Although SP1 is completely and correctly installed, it states that it has not installed and back.

    Have you tried disabling the automatic updates, and then install service packs?
    A practice that I had in XP when the reinstallation of the operating system was to disable the automatic updates, wait until I had installed all service packs, then turn it back on.

    To disable automatic updates
    GoTo Start-> Control Panel
    Click on "Classic view".
    Click on "windows update", which is usually towards the end
    Click on "change settings".

    under "major updates" choose one of the last two options. Is the "check for updates but let me choose whether to install" or "never check the updates. It does not matter because we will change things back that upgrading to SP2.

  • Set to automatic update turns off its own.

    I keep trying to download and install updates on my system. but I still have to go restart my updates of grubbing-up. whenever I go to the site and try to force updates, I have this problem, I also noticed today that it shows they are downloaded but not installed them. What can I do to solve this problem in order to install these downloads and keep my automatic updates works fine. Thanks in advance.

    Khadyz,
    If you still experience this issue, then here are a few things to start with.

    Make sure that your system is not infected with virus\malware.  This thread has lots of information about dealing with that: get rid of the malware.

    Perform a clean boot , and then run the updates.

    You may also want to reset Windows Update components and see if that corrects the problem.

    Hi dazed and Confuzed,

    Thanks for posting. You can check the updates installed from the Add/Remove Programs window in Control Panel. There will be a box at the top where you can check to view installed updates. There are also third-party programs available that will do the same.

  • Thunderbird Mac will not automatically update if I re - install (overwrite app) will be always kept all of my old emails and local files?

    Im stuck on the 24.4.0 version and its always asking me auto update, but when I do its still stuck on the same screen below after leaving it ages.

    I thought that might be better to download the latest 31.5.0 and overwrite the mac app, however I fear that it may trash all my folders complexes and 5 email accounts Ive configured there?

    Everybody does it work before or a way to sort the automatic updates?

    Thank you!

    All your mail and your preferences are stored in your profile for tuberculosis and are not overwritten when you update to a new version; However, it is always a good idea to make a backup of the directory profile, just in case something goes wrong. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb to locate your profile directory.

  • Set to automatic update of XP does not work on Satelliete A30 - 714

    Hello

    For centuries now, I got a legend when I start my saying Satelliete A30 - 714 automatic updates are not under tension.

    I try and then turn them on in Windows Security Center, but he says that I can not change setting so try to do this in the Panel. I put the automatic updates and the time and nothing happens at the set time. If I then select updates directly, I'm getting on the Microsoft site and after checking what version of Windows I have (which is XP), I get the following error message:

    "[Error number: 0 x 80070424]."

  • Set to automatic update taking too long

    I just bought a new gateway computer that has Microsoft 7 Home Premium yesterday. Last night, he had 12 automatic updates which was fine. Today, he says have 26 and was killed on 15 for 9 hours. It seems that there is a problem, but I'm not sure what to do as he says don't not to turn it off. What is going on? I've never had this problem with any of my other computers I've had.

    When you do the initial update of a new facility, it often takes more than a tour through windows update to get all the fixes.

    Of course, it's stuck on one.

    • Out of the update, worst case, simply turn off the unit.
    • Restart,
    • go to Windows Update,
    • find the update history.
    • Find the last update failed.
    • Double-click it to see the details. Bad to shoot the problem, there are often links to possible solutions
    • repetition of windows update scan. This limits the number of updates that you apply. Start with just one failed,
    • Once you have passed a casusing worth, take a small subset of those available to the general public
    • Let repeateing until you can do a couple of update scans and finds nothing
    • After getting updates all enforce a copy backup of the complete picture of your computer so that you have a known good point to restore that would not force all these fixes again.

    you use what browser (exact version).

    what application anti-virus or security suite is installed and your current subscription?

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a burning third-party software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free CDBurnerXP Pro. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    http://www.CDBurnerXP.se/>

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    If the drive passes all physical tests (long test), then retrieve your data using a Linux Live CD (I prefer Knoppix) or a Bart PE and do a clean install of Windows, because the file system is completely b0rked.
