Vista required daily updates

• Will run out of disk space with these daily updates of MSE my HP/Compaq Presario with Vista?

  I'm sure this has been asked before.  I just installed Microsoft Security Essentials after the uninstall of a problem FREE AVAST ANTI VIRUS.  PC is better/work order.  But these daily updates of Microsoft are troubling.  I have 103 Gig capacity hard drive with space of 'FREE' 69 Gig.   And abandonment.   I don't do very MUCH with the PC.  Basic stuff.  Account management.  Look at Yahoo and Accuweather. Create a card.  Messaging.  My question is Microsoft updates daily use eventually the capacity of my hard disk?   There are now 55 updates.  When I ran Windows updates with the Defender, there were 4 or 5 important updates per week and I could choose the ones that I have no need of (I think).   Your support of experts and orientation is a great help for me and I thank you in advance.

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  original title: lost document

  I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?

  If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

• is there a way to pause my MSE daily updated?

  I'm running a Dell laptop and XP with a DSL connection that says it runs at a speed of 100.0 Mbps. every day when I start my laptop, it takes forever to do anything until the daily update is complete. Sometimes I need to check something real quick and I have to wait forever. It would be nice to be able to suspend the update until I finished to do what I need and then resume where it is not important get info fast. updates only take 3-5 minutes, but it's annoying when your in a hurry and you can't get what you want without taking a coffee break...

  No problem, girlfriend. Updated & MSE is a little tricky.

  Set to automatic update/Microsoft Update will offer definitions updates and program updates (i.e., improvements in engine version & application) to MSE. If a user rejects them, MSE will always auto-updated daily (updates definitions day & upgrades to the engine). If a new version of MSE becomes available, MSE will prompt the user to install it.

• Vista - cannot search updates

  I am currenty running windows Vista Home Basic.  On my system tray, it shows the icon of update of windows, with a bubble of information indicating he can't watch updates.  I followed another thread would advise to check for malware using mircosoft's malicious software removal tool. He found nothing.  I also tried to download and install the analysis tool.  I could go as far as the "checking files" in the installation process and seem to be just hanging there. It has been several hours.  Any advise? The only firewall I have is windows.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

• 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.
   
  Check out WERCON for more information-
   
  1) Click START | wercon.exe type in the search box start and click on enter.
   
  (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
   
  Also reset the Firewall setting:
   
  1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

  Check the status of the service as well:

  Log in as administrator-

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

  Double-click on Services

  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

  Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

  Select the general tab - make sure that the startup type is manual

• 64 bit Vista having bad update

  I recently boguht a new computer HP laptop, Pavailion dv2 1039wm, among other problems he struggles to update to vista.  Safely update program download updates in the background with no problems, but when I restart the computer to install updates problems begin.  Updates are usually in groups of 14.  The installation progress screen goes through them both their installation, but most often remains on the 7th update for some time.  The following updates are almost as slow.  About half an hour for these 14 updates to install.  Then the computer stops, so I select the back to let that complete the updates install on the screen just before I connect.  Here's the big question.  In the 3rd phase of the installation it shows 0% progress and then stall for about 15 minutes he finally says "updated unconfigured, reversal of the changes" to the login screen.  Please help, I've had nothing that trouble from this computer and I would really like to get this right.

• Windows vista not install updates, how can I solve this problem

  I took my computer compaq running on windows vista & my windows updates will not install what can I do?

  I have been working on this since April too and may not know how to solve this problem.  Last update was in March.  I used the MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run with no luck.  He says that he can not solve the problem and leads to a MS web page, which doesn't help.   I also stop the update services and several DLLs and then restarted them without success, according to a website of windows troubleshooting.  I am not prepared to roll back, nor do I want to reload the operating system.  If I do that, I'm going to Linux.
