Update could not be installed

I started getting this message:

"The update could not be installed. Please make sure that there is no other copy of Thunderbird running on your computer and then restart Thunderbird to try again. »

No other version of Thunderbird is running, and I've restarted before I tried again. How can I solve the problem? I am running Windows XP. Went from about two weeks that I can remember.

Thanks for any help.

Download and install from getthunderbird.com

Weird issues with XP are becoming more common, it gets more support. A relocation will modernize you without problems.

  • __Certains updates could not be installed. When I click on yellow shield.

    Some updates could not be installed. Update of security for Win XP (KB973869).
    What it means. Thank you.

    I finally got fed up with the constant reminders to install the updates so I uninstalled Office 2003, rebooted and reinstalled.

    Updates install now without problem.

    All fixed.

    I think there should be an easier way to solve this problem.

  • Some updates could not be installed: failure on the following security updates - KB974811 KB974556

    Please help me solve this problem.  I have automatic updates set to say "updates are ready for your computer.  Click here to see these updates'; Here is the little yellow icon in the system tray low to the right of my screen.  What happens when I click on this icon is usually I then click 'express install' (and non-personalized) and then press "install".

    My computer sometimes slows down a bit that it downloads / installs these updates and which can be quite a pain in the thigh because it effects everything that I'm working at the moment, and of course because you have to restart the computer.  I have external hard drives 4 or 5 so I to sequentially turn them off one at a time by ejecting them, turn off the computer and then start it back up and restart the hard drives.

    In any case - I can never remember to "SOME UPDATES COULD NOT BE INSTALLED the SCREEN" so I'm at a loss to know what to do.  My computer is perpetually slow because the small yellow Update icon sits in the systray continually trying to draw attention to me and when I do the same thing continues to be time and again - failure!   I tried closing down my antivirus and windows firewall, but nothing helped.

    your help would be much appreciated, either tell me how these updates to get the update of my systray icon, or to get updates of pit.

    According to belarc Advisor - I am running:

    Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
