updates do not work

I have not updated my computer for awhile. Not a smart move, I know, but when I use windows update and all my ie 7 does not work. Any program that I recently updated can no longer connect to the internet, and any program I'm trying to download now does not settle right because he cannot connect when installing either. (The most depressing being my zune software) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Download Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 but the automatic updates do not work.

    Hello. Thanks in advance for your help here.

    I am at a loss to know what to do.

    Recently, I downloaded Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007, which seems to be very well. The problem is the automatic updates do not work. After searching online, I did the start > run > Winver and he says I have Service Pack 3. Then I went to control panel in Add/Remove Programs, and even if it is listed, there is no indication that it is actually installed.

    I remember a year or there are problems with SP3, when I tried to upgrade to IE8 so "I THINK" I removed it. Probably shouldn't have done that!  But IE8 has worked fine once I removed it. Microsoft says that we will no longer receive automatic updates to SP2 in June and so we have to upgrade to SP3.  Well, I just don't know what I have on my computer at this point!

    Anyway, now I get these failed messages on the updates for the Office:

    The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
    Update for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB967642)
    Update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB951944)
    Update of security for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB951550)

    So I thought I'd download the SP2.  But I did not know if Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 actually means I have SP2 installed or not.  And I got in such a mess last year I don't want to take any chances again.

    I'm sorry that it is a message that is too long. I tried to print screens to attach more information, but that did not work. Let me know what you need.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Diane

    I found more information. Looking in my history of update for automatic updates, all 4 of these updates failed have the same error Code which is: 0 x 80070663.  I don't know if this info helps solve this problem or not, but that's it.

    Hello
     

    a. you are able to download and install updates in Windows other than Microsoft Office?

    If you have SP3 listed in the Windows Version (winver) which ensures that you have Windows XP SP3 installed.
     
    Let us download the updates manually and install them, here are the links to download.
     
     
     
     
     
    Note: Make sure also that you have the prerequisites installed as indicated in the articles above.
     
     
    I hope this helps.

    Hi Peter

    I did some research and found out there are a few prerequisite updates that may be required for installation of Internet Explorer 11. This Microsoft Support link has the list and downloads for the required updates.

    I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Good luck!

    You must be at Service Pack 3 level before you can use Windows updates.

    To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:

    1. Click Startand then click run.
    2. Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:

    winver

    A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

    If you haven't already done so, you will need to install the SP2 and SP3 (SP1 note no longer exists).
