Vista and Windows updates

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

• 32-bit Vista, System Restore and windows update are suspended.

  This problem started happening almost two months ago. When I turn off computer and windows update tells me that it is updated, I leave. Ive come back hours later to see that my computer never updated and turns off. Ive tried click on windows update to update while I was connected and it still crashes just forever. Today, I think I discovered perhaps the underlying problem. Finally, I got fed up and decided to do a system restore, after hours of research and try all kinds of solutions on these forums (none worked). So now he is suspended from the system restore. Suspicious to me that when the windows update crashes is on the screen where it says create restore point.

  What can I do?

  I do not want to download all that regcure, II _ I chercher search on google, seems tgtbt and I don't want to take the risk of harming my system.

  can anyone help please?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  You should go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest network drivers wifi and card.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each driver.

  Maybe the other pilots. software and updates to the BIOS, you can get there.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - double-click on a device and check the version.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

  There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

  DeskJet 710

  DeskJet 712

  DeskJet 720

  DeskJet 722

  DeskJet 810

  DeskJet 812

  Deskjet 820

  DeskJet 822

  DeskJet 1000

  The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

  [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

  First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

  Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

  This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

  This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

  Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

  Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

  Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

  MD c:\temp

  CD \temp

  Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

  [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

  Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

  *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

  Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

  Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

  Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

  Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

  NET Start Spooler

  Output

  [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

  At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

  Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

  Mick4 wrote: the problem is that I only could unzip the 3 dll files but don't know how to replace the bad dll files. Mick 4

  If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

  

  Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

  Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

• Windows Update has no "Driver" tab and Windows Update provides no way of specifically updated device drivers that do not work correctly.

  Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) shows no "Driver" tab within the "Windows Update" program... and I can not specify in any way I want to update the drivers. Help! Does anyone have an idea where I can go to in Microsoft.com to perform updates of my drivers on my machine?

  I expect your reply.

  You are welcome.

  And certainly let us know how it works.

  ____________________________________

  Here is some other information about the Windows updates for you, I put in place some time and which you may find useful if you are having problems with Windows updates:

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You must only obtain the latest drivers for them to the site of the real hardware manufacturer, like Microsoft normally does not have these latest drivers available as Microsoft invokes the material part 3rd RTOS provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  'Remove an update - Windows 7'

• DirectX, d3d9.ll & d3d10.dll and Windows Update does not work... (Same problem?)

  I had some problems with my computer lately...

  The first thing I noticed is that I failed to run games and applications and I got this weird error 'missing d3d9.dll' and something in style with... "it could be fixed if you have reinstalled the application," but it didn't and I kept getting the error, then I went to see if there was even a d3d9.dll or a d3d10.dll - but it was not...

  Then. I tried to download em for the internet, but later, I noticed that they were for DirectX and therefor was not sure I had good... Then I went to update my DirectX - but failed. He says that I already had an update of DirectX version and it refused to install. I however, perhaps I could uninstall directX, but I couldn't find where and how...

  Then I however, maybe it's because some weird windows update problems - so I went to check how many updates there. I check it the day prior to that, but all of a sudden there are 14 new updates that I had not installed yet (overnight 14 new updates!).

  Does anyone have a solution to this? Please, I desperately need help!

  Hi exique,

  1. don't you make changes before the show?
  2. on what game and application that you get this error?

  DirectX runtime for end-users (also known under the name of DirectX) is an extension for the Microsoft Windows operating system that provides a set of quick material orders, low level that they can use to improve performance for Windows games and multimedia programs. The current generation of Windows games and multimedia programs does not work properly without DirectX. So, by design, you cannot remove DirectX.
  See DirectX: frequently asked questions

  We recommend that you scan sfc (System File Checker) to see if any system file is missing or damaged. To do this, try the following steps on Vista and Windows 7
  a. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
  b. run the scan successfully.
  c. restart the computer so that the changes take effect and check the result.

  If the problem persists, we recommend that you reinstall the game or program that causes this problem.

• Consent.exe and Windows Update my freezing machine. Related to TrustedInstaller.exe

  I have a laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit and I recently tried to install a new update. However, when I stopped him, he would tell me it was installing the update and freeze it. I let it sit for 3 hours, but no progress before the ' turn off. When I rebooted, I tried to check the updates. I expected the UAC message to come and ask me if I was sure that I wanted to do, but he never appeared. When I tried to click on anything that anybody else, he wouldn't do anything.
