    * Title *.
    Download problems

    Greetings,

    Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

    Since they are all Office updates, you can do a repair for office function.  To do this, click the Start button, type programs and features and click the enter key. Right click on Microsoft Office 2007 and choose change.  Choose fix and continue.  Microsoft Office will attempt to fix any problems there (this will) take a few minutes to run.

    Sometimes, in order to get the patch to install correctly, you must make them manually:

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.

    Hope this helps to get your installed patches.

  • MS Office updates

    I do not have MS Office and do not plan to put it on my computer.  However, I get the notice that there are 9 available and updates whenever I want to install an update, I want, I have to uncheck all Office updates.  Is there anyway to eliminate these and still show other updates "Important"?

    Thank you

    I see that I need the PP a viewer looking good, but what of the rest?  Is what I also have MS Works version 9.7 I think.  There is also a record of MS Office 12 that has the viewer inside PP, but is only 47.6 MB in total size.  Not sue if I have an installed Office compatibility pack as I can't have done.

    If you have not installed Office Compatibility Pack, we wouldn't you have offered Office Compatibility Pack SP1.

    • This morning, I have updated the firmware on my SSD to activate the TRIM. I restored an image of the drive I did with Windows Backup and Restore just before updating the drive.

    Problem:

    • I tried Windows Update after update of the SSD. It downloads all updates, installs, and prompts you to restart the computer to complete the installation. During the shutdown, some files are 'configured '. Upon restart, during the boot of Windows GUI (circles of flight), there is a break-up of the code, something about the registry. On logon, it gets "35%" and says so "returning default configuration updates,' or something like that. I get a notification indicating that the updates failed.

    • Attempt of Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (updated dec 2010) Full Scan, no malicious software was detected. Updates still do not work.
    • Attempt of Anti-Malware analysis complete Malwarebyte, no malicious software found. Updates still do not work.

    I don't think that this is malware, but a Windows problem... My internet is wobbly for these last two days, a lot of packet loss (pages only "" half load, some missing frames, etc.). Not sure if this is related, but it downloads the updates very well. It is not always the marker "35%".

    I'm out of ideas. What's next?

    Thank you

    1. about 1 year, I installed MSE.

    2 McAfee has been preloaded; the subscription was updated (in a 90-day trial), and I uninstalled McAfee completely (regular uninstall and Removal Tool provided by McAfee).

    3. Yes, for about 30 minutes before I uninstalled and installed MSE.

    4. Yes.

    However, with a little help seven forums, we have figured out it is the registry. I did a reinstall and then the updates installed correctly.

    Hello

    Here are my recommended steps to resolve this problem:

    1 disable UAC. Down comes the restrictions - turn it off completely.
    2 restart your computer for the change to take effect.
    3 re - download the update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB982331) from the link below:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7f89a734-cda4-4abb-9a10-f6dfe560e8d0&displaylang=en

    5. If it still does not work, try to open all or part of your MS Office applications.
    6. follow step 3.

    NB: If you had no installed anti-virus application or subscription has expired * when the machine was first infected * and/or your subscription has expired since and/or the machine is not kept fully corrected in Windows Update, don't waste your time with any of the following: Format & reinstall Windows.  A repair install won't help!
