  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

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

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

• The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program

  I try to use the Microsoft Office tool that implement an MSI for 64-bit Office 2010 installation file.  The tool works file and creates the msi file.  I get to the tool by going to the x 64-bit folder on the office 2010 installation disc.

  I install a new virtual machine from Windows 7 and tried to use the MSI file to install office 2010 and I get the error:

  "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded is may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program"

  If I just click Setup on the office 2010 dvd he moved very well on the same VM window7.

  Does anyone have an idea how do to understand why the windows installer keep fails or what he wants?

• updates that have failed the day 1, won't they update automatically the next day? and persevering until they are right? or what I need to do it manually? Dang! Tell me that it is not so...

  OK, so I'm at a dead end and had to buy a computer laptop refurb when my hard drive died while he's on leave.  Bought Monday, they had XP on it, but I checked the updates and it had 74 must be installed.

  I don't have access at home so I tried to install everything that was needed every day of the library since I bought this laptop on Monday.  On day 1, he said 74 needed to install updates, then I guess that the automatic far did a little more every day.  Finally the Service Pk 3 failed to install for the last 2 days.

  Now today I try again, but I'm looking back and see that some other updates in recent days have also failed.

  I don't want to go back and install each separately out of 110 undates installed.

  My question is: If one day some updates failed, the next day, wouldn't it automatically DL updates that failed the day before, get current?  If I were a computer, I would not keep DL and install new updates until the 'old' have been installed correctly.  So I just reasoning flawed or computers work this way?  Please tell me that I can't go back and redo all of those failed?

  Thanks a lot for your help in this matter!

  U

  .. .Meanwhile service pk 3 tells me he has finished loading and is ready to install, restart, etc... and I just canceled the installation because it seems that to me... If these other failures are not fixed first there will be the svc pk 3 effect, as well.  Of course they wish that no cat could have answered my question instantly... but no, he referred me to a technical person...

  Well, perfectionism causes procrastination... and sometimes it's just maddening... Please help me?

  Hello

  1 how long have you been faced with the question?

  2. you have any application installed on the computer security?

  I suggest you to check Windows update failed to install. To do

  (a) go to control panel

  (b) click on Add / Remove programs

  (c) scroll to the bottom of the list of programs, to see that Windows updates put a check mark in the box next to see the updates.

  (d) you can also see all the updates that are on your computer.

  If the update has failed once, it might have gotten installed later, but Windows will offer this update.

  You can make a note the number of KB and then download and install the updates manually.

• Win7 fails during the upgrade of a Phenom II X 2 a X 4

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a card mother Biostar TA790GX A3 + AM3. I have been running a Phenom II X 2 555 CPU and want to switch to a X 4 965 processor but I can't get Windows 7 to boot when I swap the processors. Both processors are supported by the motherboard and both processors work fine when they work the FRIEND bios routines or control program memory but the motherboard restart when loading Windows 7, usually just after I get my user name and press ENTER.

  The only thing I replaced is the CPU. I tried to reset using the reset ROM bios jumpers, I set the bios to the OPTIMUM setting, and I've tinkered with most of the bios settings, trying to get Windows 7 to go past the login screen.

  This is a security feature to prevent me from moving my copy of system builder OEM of Windows from one computer to another? Is there a work around? I have to call Microsoft? Is there a phone number?

  Well, after having played with a number of commands that have been listed on this website as possible solutions to get a Windows 7 system to start again, I have finally given and decided to do a new install.

  My machine had worked for two years with Windows XP and it had worked for 6 months with Windows 7 32 bit. It worked for 2 months after I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. Then I swapped the AMD processor 2 955 X for an AMD X processor 4 965.

  I ran SFC SCANNOW and BOOTREC and I returned my system to the last known good configuration, but I couldn't get my machine to stop crashing to 7 seconds (sometimes 14) after windows login screen appears. After losing a few days I look at Windows 7 boot and planting in an endless loop, I decided to buy a new hard drive and do a fresh install. One of the best solutions is to use MSCONFIG command line program in Win7 to tell Windows to run my CPU upgrade as a processor X 2 or X 3 X 4. This seemed to solve all the problems with Win 7 crash.

  I had a copy of Windows XP for this machine on a hard drive. When I plugged in SATA cables and tried to boot Windows XP with X 4 CPU it initialized right to the top and ran for two days. So, it was not the CPU.

  After a good amount of lost time, I could not have my win7 64 bit system starts so I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 64 bit from scratch. This configuration had no problem for a few days until Windows 7 has started to download UPDATES. It downloaded and installed updates 93 both and rebooted fine. A while later you download 4 updates more. I stopped the machine and started it again and it went into his routine update of files. He said that he applied for 1 of 4 updates. On the second or the third update, he got 32 percent and the judgment. It does three or four times, whenever it came with the F8 boot screen which gives you the opportunity to start with minimum windows. I chose the one with networking. As it starts in this environment, he said that updates had failed and that he would come BACK. HE arrested 3 or 4 times saying it was files back. Finally he started and gave me a login screen. I connected and made a few things, so I closed my computer to see if it would start. He repeats the four files Windows Update reboots, then I went into the minimum windows with networking, he gave me the screen back again, and then he crossed four recovery restart.

  I decided to document the process here in the forum of ANSWERS.

  Now when I pass my cursor on the START > SHUTDOWN button shows Windows 7 wants to "install updates day and then stop" just as he did the last two times. Each series of stops takes about half an hour to go through four cycles of updates and four cycles of returns.

  Now, I'm looking for a way to prevent Windows 7 to try to apply the same 4 updates that have already failed twice.

  I have not mentioned so far, but the 100 MB on my hard drive which is called RESERVE SYSTEM is also a problem, as is PROTECTION on my files. I have a directory on drive E: called IMAGES. He had thousands of photographs that have been put there under Windows 7 in the last years. Now that I can't have that Windows 7 built to start all files have a SECURITY LOCK on them. It is not a problem as a new installation of Windows 7 will allow me to break the lock, as long as I am the administrator. The problem is that I need to break the lock on each directory. Whenever there are a dozen clicks. I'm glad that Windows 7 allows me to break the locks but worth a lock if it can be so easily broken?

  Now, I need to know how to CANCEL these 4 waiting for file updates that will happen automatically when I stopped.

  Hey Hey Hey Doc K whadu say?

  I solved my problem;

  the problem was owner and permission on my programs, all users, the program data and my programs (86).

  As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

  What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

  Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

  -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

  I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

  USER, AUTHENTICATED USER. I was perhaps too broad.

  I took possession, and then all of the repressed, updates windows are presented themselves to install,.

  and I expect /VERIFYNOW SFC before as I mark this as running.

  I'm fairly certain VS2008 and VS2010 now repair and install.

  Hmmm... always to see funny error message in SFC...

  We need a tool to give an overview of a directory tree ownership and permissions.

• My windows 8.1 does not work with the new Firefox update. It worked before the upgrade. How can I fix it?

  After Firefox updated itself automatically, Firefox would not work. I couldn't go online on Firefox because it doesn't open at all. The old Firefox worked.

  You may have seen this article during the process to submit your question, but just in case:

  • Difficulty of problems connecting to websites after Firefox update

  Are you familiar with Windows Task Manager? It allows to determine whether Firefox is present in memory and to cease so that you can try to start again.

  To access the Task Manager, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. You will need to approve the program to make changes to your system. The 'Applications' tab usually has an entry for every visible window. I guess that Firefox will not be there, but if it is and you do not see the window, it's a different problem.

  The "Process" tab will list firefox.exe if Firefox is running in memory, or if it has started and stalled. If it is just sitting there, click it, and then use it button end process to kill him.

  Then, try to start Firefox in Safe Mode. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  A small dialog box should appear. In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Does it work?

  Hello again,

  Thought I would let you know that I've finally sorted this! :)

  In another forum I read a post from someone who had a similar problem and solved it by uninstalling the "failures" updated, restart the PC and then re-run the update. It worked! It had not occurred to me to try what I've assumed that 'impossible' meant that they had not installed at all, not that they didn't had simply not installed correctly and must have become corrupt.

  I hope this will help someone else who has the same problem, I've had!

  Best wishes

• Cannot update, I have to delete the "Trend Micro Internet Security 2008' - say

  Original title: Win 10 upgrade

  Impossible to update.  Say I have to delete the "Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 '.  Cannot find the app.  I use Wiun 7.

  I don't know what anti-malware application that you use.  If you already have one installed, then its remnants can cause weird symptoms later.  Maybe it's this symptom.

  Check what anti-malware application that you use.

  1 if this is not trend then trend needs to be asked at some point in the past.  In this case, go to the website trend and seeking advice from deletion.  Trend will probably you should download a specialist removal tool.  This is quite normal and should always be effective even if the trend has been removed years ago.

  2. If you are currently using trend then go to the website tend to get advice on the update of Windows 10.  Note, in particular, any advice on the execution of such an old version of the application.  You will probably have to uninstall [and run the removal tool, see above] and then, assuming that your subscription is still valid, install the latest version after the update of Windows 10.
