• 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)
  3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
  cache of 16 kilobytes main memory
  secondary memory 2048 k-cached

  If I try to install from addons.mozilla.org, the add-on download but then I get a message in the info box on site (at the side of the address bar) which reads, "[module] could not be installed because Firefox failed to modify the necessary."

  Do a clean reinstall and download a new copy of Firefox since http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.

  Uninstall your current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing this copy of the Firefox installer.
  
  Do not remove personal data during the uninstallation.

  It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
