Update failed - Vista updates

Display all installed updates, most "managed" in the descriptor, but many have "failed". Are these failed updates too hard disk space? If so, how can I recover this space? I have 4 separate instances of 'fail' Win XP SP3. But I installed a legal copy of Windows XP Office Professional with FrontPage on my computer (it works perfectly), so I thought that XP SP3 would be advantageous. It turns out that it wasn't. (I know, I am running Vista Home Premium, but that was before I knew what I was doing with Windows Update). Can anyone help?

You must do what I suggested... If you want to UNINSTALL an update. Don't are not updates failed
installed. Its an entry in a database, deletion of the list only removes the entry.

Ms:

Did you know you can manually install an update that may not have?

"To manually download available updates, go to Microsoft Update or in.
Windows Vista go to your control panel. When the computer has been scanned
to see the updates it needs, click the custom button to find and choose
the update to install. We recommend that you only install all the priority

  • Help! Flash Player installation fails (Vista; Internet Explorer)

    I have problems installing Flash Player (14 I think - the installation program is called: install_flashplayer14x32ax_chrd_dn_awa_aih) on a laptop with Vista and IE. I'm PC illiterate, so don't know what version I have...

    The Installer seems to know what I have and choose which version to install? Is this fair?

    I get the performer or backup of the installer options, but everything I try, the installation seems to think it's worked, and I got to a browser's screen showing other things I might want to install. However, Flash Player does not appear to be installed, and the content does not, telling me that I need to install Flash Player.

    I noticed one thing is that the installation bar moves at a slow pace and then all of a sudden, the last section goes into a microsecond, as he is abandoned, but it goes then on this other window. I have Malwarebytes Pro is installed for the protection.

    Could it be prevent installation?

    I wish a notification if it has been, but get nothing...

    Oh, and I used uninstall to get rid of the previous versions, but I have still some Panel for Flash Player settings, if I put the Flash Player in the search box?

    Sorry if this sounds stupid, but even if I can fix it the motors and things, all PC stuff is somewhat a mystery so far...

    Thanks in advance.

    There is no need to uninstall the previous version of Flash Player; the installer must do that for you.

    Update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista still fails to install.  At the beginning I had 6 automatic updates which could not install (usually NOT a problem), so I individually installed each... reboot after each update.  Success on those.  I tried to update KB982381 more than 8 times without success.  I don't use IE as my browser.  My computer is constantly trying to install this and reboot... never works.  Don't know what to do.

    I did everything you suggested in the last email and I am sorry to say that the update has failed once again.   I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser, but I open IE * to run its difficulty etc.  I ran Windows Update (reset) in aggressive mode (what settings it reset?  I noticed when I went to the Control Panel, to look for updates and it listed that it is 'never' updates etc.).  When I did find updates sent to download, it came with one that was a failure and the other for Windows Defender.  This one has installed fine.  Let me know what I should try!  Thank you
