Vista updates - cannot install

original title: updates for Vista

I seem to have problems with updates from my computer. Whenever I turn on the computer there are 28 or so updates, if I click to update. The computer does its thing, restarts, but said while some updates not configured correctly so come back to the original settings. After reviewing the history of update, it fails to update the update of security for Vista, or any update to do with Vista.  Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do to try to solve this problem. It seems to be stopping me downloading new software like Silverlight (used by the sky so that I can watch TV on my computer).

Hi, Sarah Hack,.

Open windows update and click on View installed updates.  Check the ready to install updates are already installed in the Update menu.  If some are pre-installed, a file may not install correctly and the KB may continue to appear.  Right-click on it and click Hide.  You will not see in the ready to install the list and it will eventually disappear.

The list of all the errors on the KBs, but also the KB #.

You can also try to install dates successively until displaying the KB and error # s necessary for further assistance.  Thank you.

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    kclady36,
    Given that the SFC found corrupt files and was not able to fix them, which leans toward a possible broader problem at hand.  You can follow the directions at the bottom of the article for System File Checker to replace corrupted files.

    Or you can reinstall Windows in one of two ways.
    You can do an upgrade to the current installation.  However, you need to remove all the service packs that are not on your installation media.
    The other choice would be a restore clean installation or factory, according to your support system.  If you make this option (which if it were me, would be my choice), you must back up all your data, then the reinstallation of the system and to get all installed updates and antivirus software and running upward, scan your data before you restore on the PC.

  • Windows Update - cannot install Windows SP2 or KB 979911.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition installed, and in January he ceased to apply the updates of Windows security.  I tried to solve this problem, but eventually gave up and reinstalled windows (gasp!).

    Well, the drive I got for the machine was 2008, so he installed Windows Vista SP1.  I then applied a bunch of updates (via Windows Update) until I came to KB 979911, when it is not (always) with error 80073712.

    I did a SFC/scannow, but there are no errors.  I then installed the Microsoft Fix it Center and installed Windows Update Fixer.  Whenever I run this from I get Windows Update components detected problems must be repaired - and the result is successful in repairing the Windows Update components.  I also get the default data location Windows Update question changed - (verified result) and the comment "where Windows Update stores modified data must be repaired.  I doesn't matter if I know.

    I also see locations of repair by default Windows Update - works not (I don't know how to run) and a comment to the locations of Windows Update change to the default settings of Windows (I don't know how do either).

    I then run KB947821 (CheckSUR) to check the status of preparation of system.  and get several registry errors 2 of each of the components and missing packets related to Package_20_for_KB937286 in the Microsft_Windows_Help_CoreClientUAHP-Pachage (and the corresponding notice of UAUE) as well as the x86_microsoft-windows-help - artcone.resources and the related medctr.resources.

    Then... I try to install SP2 (which is now coming through my Windows Update and it of fine, restarts the machine, staging 3 100% and then comes back, restarts and continues the reversion.)  He returned in the form 800f082c of the error.  Installation via the stand-alone stub leads to the same result.

    FYI... I have run diagnostics on hardware and all is well.  I'm at my wits end here, so any help is appreciated.
