Update for windows Vista (XP and 7 too) soon

I posted this in the forum of windows Vista because windows Vista seems to be the biggest problem.  I have to be able to do this with Windows XP and 7 as well.  When I do a new installation of Vista for a customer, a factory for example image, need me not less 8 then (Yes, eight) hours of constant windows update, windows update, restart, reboot to do fully updated. I thought, there MUST be a better way to do these updates. But how?
someone suggested a SUS server, but which may need to be run on a windows OS Server (I don't have that.)  I have a 'server' Windows 7 however) and also looks like computers must be set up on a field, again, not an option.
Here are the client computers.  I run a small computer repair shop and the windows, especially for vista updates, is the bane of my work.

  • Why I repeatedly get a security update for Windows Vista for systems (KB2676562) and update for Windows Vista (KB2679255) focused on the x 64 even after that both have been installed successfully?

    update of security (KB2676562) has already been correctly installed 21 times, began towards the end of May.  Update for Windows Vista (KB2679255) was successfully installed 35 times, he began in mid-April.  These two continue to update themselves every day and do it at least twice a day, back to back.  It is very frustrating to have to deal with that and makes me think that something may be a problem with my computer.  I had heard of registry cleaners is not not a good thing to use, if recently I not unhooked my registry free cleaner.  I hope that it has not caused my computer to lose any registry key values.  Does anyone know a possible solution or what I need to do?

    When you are prompted to save CheckSUR, choose to not run it.
    When the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.

    If the installed antivirus is Firewall Norton/McAfee party or a 3rd is used, then suggest you first boot system configuration before you run it.

    NOTE: In the clean boot state will be disabled all firewalls of part 3. Ensure that the native Vista firewall is now enabled - enable Windows Firewall on or off

    Now run CheckSUR (. Windows6 0-KB947821-v12-x 86.msu).
    Restart the system for the same configuration of boot clean and do a check for updates in Windows Update in Control Panel.
    If the system can search, detect, download, and install updates now, save an update of a subsequent test.

    If the system can or cannot now, cancel the clean boot configuration and restart in normal Windows mode.
    See if the registered update installs now.

    If the system still cannot install the updates, please copy and paste the contents of one of the newspapers that CheckSUR created when he ran. They are located in and are named

    Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

    If the system can install the updates in the clean boot configuration, but not in normal mode of Windows, then there are 3rd party software which is the origin of the update installation problem.

    Any help appreciated

    After reading the process to carry out a repair for Vista installation, I was not confident I could do given my lack of COMPUTER skills and feared that I would have done something wrong.  But while browsing the site there are other suggestions that I adopted. For example, I downloaded Registry Booster, ran the System File Checker (which I had already done but thought, no harm to do again), and other suggestions are in response to similar questions like mine.  I also ran an another Chk Dsk (I also run this previously).  To restart, as he was driving through the verification process, he said,' windows replaced bad cluster in file name \window\winsxs\x8A9C8~1.226\ 8915cambria.ttc'.  And I was happy, because it was the file you advised has been damaged.  I don't know exactly how it happed, as I said, I had perfomred chk dsk a numer of times before.  I was successfully able to install the update for Window Vista KB980248!  I was so happy after all the anxiety.

    Thank you very much Andrew, for your time, assistance and patience. Very much appreciated.

  • Cumulative update for Windows Vista...

    There are several updates, called "Cumulative Security Update for Windows Vista" that whenever I have download interrupts me to use Internet Explorer 7. I have no problem download from this but find myself constantly having to uninstall these updates after installation. It's a hassle and they never go (which means that I always wonder to install). When I say cut, I mean I open the browser, but it gives me an error of loading of the page. I have a WiFi connection and make sure that I am connected, but it still says that I'm not. I also have problems with Internet Explorer 8, which after installation cannot be used because it gives me an error of loading of page and constantly suggests that I am not connected to the internet. I'd love to have my laptop Compaq in the shape of the top end and as secure as can be but I can't with these issues, and often, I decline to make the updates for this reason. If you can help me with these questions, because I promise you that I have did everything in my power so please do! If not, then I can live with this POS a bit longer ;)

    Thank you in advance!

    You should have (1) uninstalled Norton free trial, (2) download / run the Norton removal tooland then (3) installed Webroot Antivirus with Spysweeper (?) BEFORE the Norton free trial period had expired. (Too late now).

    See...

    Cleaning a compromised system
         http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "ofhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

    NB: The Norton free trial will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs or updates to IE AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example, Webroot Antivirus with Spysweeper).

    If you need help, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/threads

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
