Update Windows xp KB961503__security xp KB956572
Windows update will not download or install these 2 updates. Why and what can I do?
1. I ended up doing a repair as indicated previously installation.
2 IE7 [had been installed prior to the installation of repair] but now I'm current with IE8.
See...
How to perform a repair of Windows XP installation, if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964
If you do not uninstall IE7 before doing the repair facility, Windows and IE are now in a "confusing" situation (if you see symptoms revealing or not).
If this is the case, your only recourse now is to back up your personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this stage) and then format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that another repair facility (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!
HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307
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:

Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029
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. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

McAfee Consumer product removal tool

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.
Good luck!

Firefox runs very slowly after updating Windows 10
Saturday, December 12, 10 Windows spent an age of update itself, with several reboots. Since then, the navigation is horribly slow with Firefox, although my internet connection is always very well (fast my Smartphone using Microsoft Edge). I have two PCs, and both seem to have been affected in the same way. Using the Task Manager, I see that Firefox uses a lot of CPU most of the time - often more than 50%. Even typing and scrolling are very slow, not just downloading.
I disabled all my add-ins and plug-ins, run in safe mode, rebooted and reinstalled Firefox without result. So far, I'd say that Firefox is the fastest browser. I think that Firefox updated itself 42.0 version a few days, so I have a suspect that this slowdown has occurred just after a Windows Update.Update: Windows update itself again today and, like magic, Firefox is again well. So problem solved.

Hello, I am writing because I have a few problems with my favorite browser after update to 8.1 Windows. Here are some details. I've updated Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1, since Firefox run a bit oddly. In particular, when on sites with lots of images like Facebook. It's as if there is some sort of effect of Flikr between the office and the images, as well as between the images and the browser (a bit like old flikering of 16-bit video games). It's not too bad, but it's a question. I tried to reset firefox and restart the computer. I have not tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall.
Hello, disable hardware acceleration in firefox should a restart of the application is taken into account. have you tried that too?
Please also see if there is an available update your graphics drivers ...

After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.
Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.
I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.

Can I update windows 10 on Sprout?
If I update windows 10, can I also use sprout function? (Scan, projector, sprout apps, etc.).
No probpem?I agree with ray1204 on this: HP must assess and update or do say us that it is impossible.
I have not run Windows 10 on Sprout; However, I've been running on a laptop, and I've done it since the Insider program began. I'm now up to build 10130. I would not risk running Windows 10 on Sprout, so if someone else did, I'm interested.
Windows 10 previews in stability and utilization have improved, but the user interface is different in Windows 8. Windows 8 has a desk and a splash screen that seem quite distinct. Windows 10 looks like a desktop and applications, the functions file, etc. appear on a screen separated when you click on the Windows button. Which is kinda the same, but now modern applications and heritage applications all play together. The store and the browser are new and very different, etc.
Shoot, we all discovered, is his own strange beast. The use of the desktop screen and start with the germination environment is quite strange. Manual of the developer makes more mysterious, in my opinion.
I think that HP has got to do some work on Windows 10 and probably change Sprout. Which may not happen until the release of the "final" Windows 10.
Patience is my suggestion.

After updating Windows 10 (threshold/1115) one of our Z30 - A sometimes wakes up after hibernation with the screen off.

Someone at - it ideas? I would really appreciate the pointers.
Thank you very much!

I go about Firefox and click on the updates button control the browser downloads the update, I restart Firefox and behind the browser window is a window that says: it is strongly recommended that update Firefox. It is also a link to get more information about this update. The link is not responding, so I click on 'Next' and connect to the server and it never connects. I let it run all night and it connects. I get this window even after that I updated to Firefox. How can I do that, go away? Is this a legitimate Update window or something try to redirect to a malicious site?
In fact, the window just jumped upward once again, as I was typing this message.
If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible and delete the folder of Firefox beta program to remove all remaining files.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem
I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.
I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
All this without success.My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.
Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?
Help is welcome.
Peter
I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.
From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
For example this:

Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches. -

Question
I have another type of problem with Firefox
Description
Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?
Version of Firefox
3.6.3
Operating system

You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).
If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.
Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

HP 15-af131dx: should I update windows 10 birthday?
Should I update to windows 10 birthday? Someone had problems with the update?
To install the updated Windows 10 anniversary choice you completely. Yes, people have had problems with the update. If you need the use of the computer and can not afford to face questions, you can wait on the installation of the update. If problems occur during or after installation, and you can manage it, you can install the update. I suggest creating a Windows repair disc and do a Windows system image backup before installing the update.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit
Hello
Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.
I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.
See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]
Any idea?
Hmm... it's strange? :|
The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!
I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.
However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.
