Update KB978207

Update of security for internet explorer 8 for windows vista x 64-based systems (KB 978207) installs, but after the installation, I can't access the internet!  If I uninstall the update, then I can get on the internet as usual.  Any suggestions?

Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the Web page":
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942818

If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:

1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes Tea Timer to Spybot, Ad-Aware Ad - Watch & guard, guards SpySweeper, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN turn on the Windows Firewall.

NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated!  If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.

2 WinXP: Uninstall 'Security for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB976325)' via Add/Remove Programs (make sure the box show updates at the top right) and restart.

Vista: Uninstall 'update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 7 (or 8) for Vista (KB976325)' or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" via start | Control Panel | The Maintenance and the system (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | View the update history (or programs & features |) Updates installed) & restart.

3 d - c #1 above.

4 WinXP: Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | Install all security critical updates available (e.g. KB976325).  If an update of root certificates is listed in the category of optional software updates on the left side of the scan results window, install it to enjoy enhanced Internet Explorer security.

Vista: Run Windows update manually and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).

5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.

  • Update KB978207 removed settings

    I have Vista Ultimate. Automatic update was held last night (the kind that you can't refuse). When I logged in today, all my configurations have disappeared. Background, sidebar and Windows Explorer now points to the users/TEMP instead of the id under which I am connected.

    Is there a solution for this or should I it out?

    There was a free version of Norton with the computer - it's been uninstalled AFAIK

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

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

    Ideally, you would have done the above before installing Symantec Endpoint. Doing now can prevent similar problems in the future.

    If still no joy (as I suppose), open a free Windows Update support incident or contact Symantec technical support.

  • A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 in Windows Vista (KB978207) not installed correctly

    My PC vista Home Premium

    Hi guys, sorry for the long post, but I'll give as much detail that good I hope to get a positive result.

    I can not install the security update (KB978207) and get this message "some updates have not been installed security for Windows (KB978207) "

    I did the following

    1A tried to update manually with my disabled antivirus avast
    2 tried to uninstall manually after a clean boot
    3. downloaded and run microsoft Mr. Fix it
    4. I ran a few newspapers and displayed in a PC Tech Forum, I uninstalled a few unwanted files via Avenger that may have caused this error... no luck
    5. I used malwarebytes and nothing found
    6. I used HostsXpert and restored MS Hosts File.
    7. after sending a Windows Update of my recent activity log, it looks like a 3rd driver could be the cause of the problem, but I don't have a clue that one was the answer.

    I have no idea what to do at this point, I feel a little out of my depth now and have never had an update fails before.

    Any help would be welcome

  • Will not install KB947821. Error code 80073712.

    Will not install KB947821. Error code 80073712. Although the update KB978207 has been correctly downloaded and installed after that. All this happened after the uninstallation of McAfee antivirus. Also, I'm sure that for this reason, IE8 now does not load all run any activex so content. Downloaded and run the uninstall McAfee tool but no change.

    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) won't fix this!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the page following before otherwise connect the machine to a network or the internet and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. Even if the trial version is not enabled, you MUST uninstall it and download/run the appropriate removal tool before you install updates, Windows Service Packs or IE updates and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  • Update IE KB978207 - Bootmgr is missing error

    Hello
    One of our machines KB978207 update IE was installed causing a problem at the start to the top: "Bootmgr is missing". Tried using the Vista CD to repair the installation, but the DVD player could no longer be read clearly visible in the bios. After some time, we finally got it to work. We were able to start from the DVD drive and ran the repair of Vista twice, which incidentally reported no problem found with the system files. It's the only update that has been installed on the day. I need to understand why this would cause the problem, I am afraid that our other PC will experience the same issue.
