  There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

  Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

  visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

  When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

  Start > run > C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

  For the 64-bit version, change the command run 86 read 64

  In the alternative, there is a troubleshooting tool that can work to accomplish the same thing

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

  Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

  When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

  If there are still problems with Windows update try this utility.

  It is the #25 element in the repair tool to be implemented.

• Windows 7 Home Premium software updates will not download?

  I run Windows 7 Home Premium on my Toshiba laptop. When you try to download the current software updates. I click on the button to start the download. The green color bar graph begins to move from left to right, showing that its in the download process, BUT the percentage meter does not turn. After 10 minutes to 15 minutes, he is still on 0%. It looks like his tent, but nothing happens. In the past its slow summer during download of new updates, but it worked. Had to stop the download.

  Anyone has a solution.

• Updates will not download and install - NO ERROR CODE - updates remain at 0%

  For Adobe Support.

  I get the popup "update" whenever I connect to my computer and it gives me an error message but no code error. The update starts at 0% and stays there indefinitely.

  It's VERY frustrating because on top of working 10 hours today, I have now lost another hour, trying in vain to find a solution.

  By quitting their stand alone suite (CS5, 6 etc) and later support for it, Adobe has FORCED me to use their Cloud Creative suite subscription. While I HATE not being able to buy a standalone program, I like the CC Suite and I'm PAYING for this subscription that provides the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden the updates will not download and install and Adobe wants me to follow a set RIDICULOUSLY long and complicated steps to solve the problem? It's a complete and absolute nonsense!

  I am a self-controlled, respectable and intelligent individual, but it makes me want to use profanity! I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE.

  According to the latest information (see: Adobe : Cloud accelerates since 3.4 million paid creative members |) ProDesignTools) there is over 3.4 million people like me PAY for reliable use!

  Frankly, I'm so frustrated that I am very close to spearhead a national campaign to educate these users 3.4 million on the negligence of Adobe supported because it's visitors!

  WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! ADOBE NEEDS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! When you get this figured out, I'll certainly appreciate an e-mail from your. In the meantime. Be aware that each passing day, and whenever I see this pop up, it serves as a reminder that Adobe does not respect what they promised!

  Kind regards

• Windows Update will not download?

  When I try and download windows updates it remains at 0% and will not download. Also any secondary windows pop up I opened Virgin rest. These errors started exactly at the same time. I use windows 7 and Norton 360 (4.0)

  Norton 360 v4.x was not released until February 17, 2010. If you have purchased & installed Norton 360 in August 2009, it was Norton 360 v3.x, so you must have upgraded to v4.x because you upgraded to Win7 in October 2009.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. [No, Norton Support will not tell you this.] Norton 360 v3.x "leftovers" can be cause of your problem.

  [You want to print the following instructions for consultation offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (includingLiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the latest version of Norton 360 (using your product ID, if necessary) & restart:http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  IMPORTANT! -Online do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. If you have had problems with Internet Explorer 8, perform a reset now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

  8 b. Open IE8 (only) (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty by DEFAULT inside and then AGGRESSIVE modes (again). [1]

  9. restart & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

• kb2539636 security update will not download/install automatically

  Download Vista security
  I have a laptop with vista family premium, sp2, 32-bit windows. I need to download kb2539636 security update. It will not download/install automatically. The MS website shows three different files for this download. They are: a 64 x, an IAH64x, an x 86. Since I was a 32-bit system, no sounds just. Which one should I download?

  Hi Ranchman,

  x 86 is commonly used instead of 32-bit (and no, I don't know why)-if it's one you need for a 32-bit system.  I looked up the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2539636.  Then I went to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017 and I think that what you want is NDP40-KB2539636 - x 86 .exe.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck.

  Each time the Apple software application to be updated by Apple Software Update, the error in the picture below opens and I get it over with to have to do a manual reinstall.  Here, the image shows the most recent upgrade to iCloud and iTunes, but I also got QuickTime are doing the same thing.  It would seem that each manual installation to reinstall a new copy of the GSS, but he keeps having the same problems. Please help diagnose this problem.  The "Download only" option in the window pop up works, but it would be nice for ASU than him.

  An update of the software is pretty useless if it is not updated of software.

  

  I suspect that all is not well with your copy of the GSS. You can try to fix it, but I suspect a complete tear down and reinstallation of any software Apple will be needed.

  For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

  The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

  Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

  The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

  Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

• Automatic updates will not download to Windows XP SP3 or Microsoft Security Essentials.

  I had the Choicepoint Virus a few weeks there and I think you, I took it. I reinstalled SP3 and got IE8 running. Taken from old CA antivirus program. used to get rid of all traces of Norton or Symantec removal tools. MSE installed and everything worked great until a few days ago. Virus definitions will not update (0x80072EFE). And windows update does not work at all (0x80072EFF). I tried to download them from the site manually, but when I click on the IE link is as I am not connected to the internet. Also, I've been to redirected findstuff.com and other search sites when I click on links in Bing. Thinking that I have a new bug. MSE wasn't able to spot it. Niether has Malwarebytes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
