• Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB976902) is originally the majority of my X 86 and some current applications for Windows 7 to stop working.

  Original title: Updates

  The last update update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB976902) is originally the majority of my X 86 and some current applications for Win7 stop working. This includes IE8, MS Office10 and a few others. Whats with THAT! I have updates blocked for now, until the writers get it sorted.

  Hello

  The article mentions that this update cannot be uninstalled. This software update is a prerequisite to install a service pack. In addition, this update improves reliability when you install or remove service packs and updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/976902

  Since you have problems with Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Office 2010 after installing the update, I suspect the involvement of a third party software conflict. I would like you to put your machine in aclean boot State in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.

  Note: Follow step 7 to restart the computer as usual.

• Last updated on Windows 7 cause "Crash Dump" on my computer.

  Last updated on Windows 7 cause "Crash Dump" on my computer. Watch journal update KB2264107 and KB2454826 will not settle. I do a system restore to get back. I tried the "auto update" three times.

  
  KB2454826 was fired shortly after its initial release, January 11, 2011. Revised (for example, fixed) versions of KB2454826 have been re-published February 8, 2011.

  NB: KB2454826 is an update Important/recommended, it's always an option, not the security update (from this edition). That being said, we now know that KB2454826 is a prerequisite for the update for IE9. As it will probably be a prerequisite update for SP1 of Win7, too, you probably don't want to hide.
  

  KB2264107 is an option, not the security update. Feel free to hide it.

• How are updates to Windows Live Mail generated?

  I downloaded Windows Live Mail shortly before I upgraded to Windows 7.  This has worked like a charm and copied on everything from Windows Mail.
  Now I wonder how updates are handled.   My Windows Update is configured to do the Windows updates only.  If there is an update for Windows Live Mail, I will get it with this setting?
  I don't want to change my settings, if I can avoid it because I not updated from Microsoft products, I do not use.
  Thank you.

  If you are using Win7, Microsoft Update is your source of default update. As long as give me updates in the same way I receive important recommended updates is enabled, you will be offered updates for Windows Live Mail Security and others installed Windows Live applications.

  If a version update of Windows Live Mail or any other installation Windows Live application is available, you will need to update manually via http://download.live.com/ or live.com application-specific page.

• Specific update for Windows on Windows 7 disables the internet connection in Internet Explorer

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. 10/14/2010 my computer installed something around 18 updates to Windows. Immediately after the restart, I couldn't get an internet connection on Internet Explorer. My computer tells me I have 90% Wi - Fi, but I get nothing on Internet Explorer. I restored my computer to until I installed updates, and immediately after the restart of the internet worked well. I decided then to individually install each update of Windows one by one and found a specific update that causes this problem on my computer. It's "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB2360131). I am able to install all the updates, only this specific one stop my internet to view Web pages.
  On a side note, I have another computer with Vista, and this computer shows no problem after installing all updates. I don't want to change my settings to manually install updates, I love that they install automatically, but that just doesn't work if this particular day keep install and maintain close my internet. Any suggestions as to why it continues to be?
  Thank you!

  [I turned first on my new computer on 30 August.] I tried to activate [the 60 days Norton free trial] in the first week or two, so maybe between 7 September - 14 September... not [uninstall before I installed MSE] however.

  You must have activated the free trial immediately (i.e., August 30), not a week or two later. In addition, you should have uninstalled Norton free trial AND download / run the Norton Removal Tool BEFORE you installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

  I suspect that you see the effects of a hijackware infection. Chances are that your computer is already infected at the time wherever you tried to activate the free trial of Norton. See...

• Cannot download updates in Windows 7 on dial-up connection.

  I need to use a computer * running is not Windows 7 * to download from Windows Update, paste them on removable media and install on Win7 box.

  The question...  Last fall, I bought my mother a new machine with Windows 7.  It does not and is not interested, a connection high flow - it has remote access.

  The last time I was visiting there, she mentioned that its Internet connection did not work.  Turns on it worked, but it was unusably slow.  It is in the process of downloading 165 MB of Windows updates.  According to my estimates, it would take about a day to download 165 MB more than 56 k modem... She is not willing to tie up his telephone line for so long.

  Original title: download updates on a PC (no-Win7), install it on another?

  A disable updates of Windows, so that he can stop tying up of its connection.  Of course, now he nags him with a warning of security because Windows Update is disabled...

  I need to be able to download the updates appropriate removable media at work & then send him the CD & a few instructions (simple!) for their installation.

  Otherwise, I need a way to tell Windows Update do not use bandwidth connection - use maybe 5 KB of its 56KO connection & leave the rest so the computer is not useless for a few weeks, then download updates.

  Is this possible?  Or she'll just have to ignore security warnings?

  FYI

  You can download individual updates from the catalog and register to be installed later.

• I can't update my windows. the internet page will not open.

  Well... My computer slows down after a message appears on the screen saying: generic host for win32.exe error services process... In any case, I tried everything until I scanned by Spybot search and destroy and discovered that it was a virus and of course I found the others, including a file from microsoft... I've cleaned and tried to update my windows and it does not work... It drives me crazy and I don't know there are still some viruses on my computer, but I don't think that spybot is help me more.

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

• Screen of Microsoft Update crashes Windows XP mode

  I have Windows Virtual PC in Windows 7 Pro, and I test it with Windows XP Mode before I use it for Ubuntu Linux.

  In the test, I went through the normal routine with Windows XP Mode, installation of updates; but after the first activation of Windows Update, after which, I installed Microsoft Update, the update screen freezes for 9 to 10 minutes, the message «Check if your computer has the latest version of Windows Update software for use with the site...» " until he goes to the next screen, 'Welcome to Microsoft Update'.  I also noticed that, even though the download process seems normal, the installation process is exceptionally more time that I expect anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes for each of the bigger files.

  Is it a file in XP Mode which could trample the day opening screen, or is it one of my programs in Win7 that could be the cause (though I doubt it)?  I miss an ActiveX program or any program, by the way?  Or do I have too many?  Or should I simply rub the file in XP Mode, I installed and install a new one in its place, since I'm in the early stages of Windows Update?

  Someone directed me to KB2879017 Cumulative Update for Windows XP.  Once installed, it updates automatic galvanized WinXP.  Once I added KB898461, Internet Explorer 8, KB905474 and KB892130, I was able to get more updates via Windows/Microsoft Update.  The update process wouldn't properly unless I installed these files in the order that I posted here.  I had to load KB2879017 from a USB flash drive.  The rest came through automatic updates.

• Cannot install updates for Windows XP SP3

  Well for some reason, I am unable to update a new installation of Windows XP Pro after installing SP3.

  I tried the following:

  Reset.

  IE6 is in tools > set windows update (gave me the message of not being able to be updated unless the update to sp3 which I am already)
  The Windows Security Center on the left hand side click on "check the latest updates from Windows Update." Got the same page as described before.
  Microsoft Windows browsed forums - found a lot of comments saying problem has been resolved by updating to IE8.
  Updated to IE8. Restarted. Waited to see yellow shield in the corner saying windows has been downloaded updates. There can be no.
  Click "Check the latest updates" once again, he launched IE8 but led me to the same page, telling me to SP3 again, I already have)
  Checked under System Properties I'm at SP3.
  The active firewall settings. Make an exception for wupdmgr and wuaclt. Think the windows firewall can block updates.
  Waited for updates again. Yet none came through.
  Click "Check the latest updates", waited a bit came updates.
  Entered the update IE8\Tools\Windows and got the same message to update again.

  There is no other software virus on the PC at the moment.
  I was Imaging PCs for several weeks, and this is the first time I have encountered this problem.

  I have .net framework 2.0 and 3.0 is installed. They have been installed prior to service pack 3. I tried to uninstall, but it wouldn't let me, and I'm not entirely convinced that is the problem. Any ideas?

  This PC has been infected by a virus previously. However until I did the reinstall I had deleted the partition previous and had the drive reformatted when you set up...

  After a clean install, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything below in order before connecting otherwise the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other disk to the computer:

  1. make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

  2 uninstall all now invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which have perhaps been reinstalled when you reinstalled Windows, run the appropriate removal tool, [1] before installing the antivirus of your choice application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

  3 then only get to Windows Update & get the fully-patched computer! [2]

  4. ensure that Windows Defender is turned on (Vista & Win7) or installed (WinXP)... unless you opt to install Microsoft Security Essentials which will disable the default Defender.

  ... Also ran ccleaner and clean registry, it has not helped either.

  No, it's only issues worse, I assure you!

  TIP: If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
