• Cannot step 3 of 3 for Vista updates

  I have a number of Vista updates that will not be installed.  A site to help/support windows was a suggestion that you could install manually by going to the Microsoft Vista download site.  So, I chose the 2 most old and manually, and to install several days ago.  In both cases, an error message came back indicating that the updates were for a 64 bit system.  Later that night I turned off the computer and turned it on the next morning.  I got a message saying Setup updated step 1 of 3-0% complete.  This message has been on the computer for several hours before I did a manual close.  Now, when I reboot, the message says configuration updates step 3 of 3-0% complete.  This message will remain on the computer for about 1 minute, after which the system attempts to restart again.  This process continues indefinitely.  I tried to go in 'safe mode', but the same thing happens.  I do not have a startup disk, so may not exercise this option.  Please help - I'm sure that the solution cannot be that hard.  Also, please tell us if there is a way to avoid this situation in the future.

  most of the computers I sold recently are affected - ms Ko 949358 describes this well - using repair CD allows you to rename the folder (files) waiting - but - so far, the problem always resurfaced after 2 or 3 days - repair ms KO suggested in the previous KB 937287 update will not - install version wrong system error - now the good news : change of name by using CD repair can be done repeatedly and will copy/backup all files on an external user - using a full system reinstall after a cold start automatic tracking updates (about 100) will produce a system vista stable basic with no missing updates.

• I get a notification to update when you sign in to firefox. When you try to update you get the message "connection to Server", which can go about 4 hours and never update

  I get a notification to update when you connect to firefox on my mac. When you try to update, I get a message "connect to Server" which can go over 4 hours and never update. It is most annoying. How can I remove that annoying popup which does not in any case all in ensuring that I have updated to the latest version?

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  Hi, I had / have problems with Vista updates:

  The latest issue (I wonder about that) which is the last batch of updates (I'm sure it's one of these two: KB2479628 & KB2393802) is making my PC run unstable and stop my antivirus to work.

  When either are installed, my pc freezes at startup and can or cannot enter Vista (safe mode still works). When he gets into Vista, MSE shows a symbol of error indicating that it is not functional / turned on. When I try to turn it on, I get a gel complete system requiring a hard reboot.
