What can I do to download and install Windows updates?

Similar Questions

• Downloaded and installed Windows updates. Running to find the modified theme and no clear Vista theme.

  Can someone explain what happened? All the available themes are the current non-transparent theme, called 'Modified Theme' and the classic Windows theme.

  It's really strange and really very boring, simply because I didn't ask for this.
  Everything I have done differently was click on the button that says "downloads and installs updates before Shutting Down", in the usual area where is the sleep button.
  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

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

  You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to 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

  When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

  "How to hide or show an update of Windows Vista"

  Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

  "Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  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.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

  See you soon.

• IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL WINDOWS UPDATES

  I get the 8007000 b error code what updated single download is judged and the computer crashes when I try to download several updates.  I have an emachines ET1161 and 3 GB ram, 320 GB HDD, 2.10 ghz 32-bit operating system.  I bought the new PC on 16/05/09 and last time that I was able to download the updates was mid-June.  I have more than 50 updates to download.  The computer works fine when it works.  It seems to crash a lot.  I also have my media on an external 500 GB hard drive and other media on a 120 GB external hard drive.  My computer will also not back up and restore one of external hard drives, but this is anotehr isue I think.  I hope some of these downloads will fix some of the issues that we had with accidents.  Anti-virus software is AVG and the firewall is always turned on.  I don't have a boot disk, because it did not come with the computer.  Windows vista is activated and authorized and came on the computer.  I have gone through the recommended steps and emptied the register or something and rebooted the computer, but it still does not go download windows updates.  Thanks for your help!

  Hello Bobbybo,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Windows Update, Error 8007000 b

  If you receive the 8007000 b error when you try to install Windows Vista updates, the Windows file system transaction log is damaged. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. To correct this error of update, you clear the log. Here's how:

  To clear the file system transaction log

  1. Click the button start . In the search box, type prompt commands, and then, in the list of results, right-click command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  2. In the command prompt window, type fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\. (This assumes that C: is the drive on which Windows Vista is installed. If Windows is installed on another drive, change the drive accordingly letter.)

  3. Restart your computer.

  4. Download and install the update again.

     Thank you.

• Why I can't download and install windows xp SP3?

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. My internet security program is Norton Antivirus online, provided by my ISP, Qwest... When I try to upgrade to SP3, my computer is getting ready for download, begins to check the download, then goes back to prepare for the download. Can I get a failure to download, with Ox80070005 error code I tried to download and install from the center of update and from the Microsoft Download Center, with the same results. Anyone can solve this for me, PLEEEEEEASE!  My computer is an old PC HP Pavilion Media Center Desktop, model #m370n. I connect to the internet through a gateway of Qwest. Model # Actiontec PK5000 modem. Please let know me if more information is needed. Thank you.

  [1] your solutions solved my problems!

  [2] but, I still wonder if it is advisable to remove the update section of the section add/remove from the Control Panel, already installed updates if updates do not apply to the version and service pack of windows I use!

  [3].. .when I was running Norton security, I kept getting messages from the use of the high memory for many programs I was running. So I guess what I'm asking is, how can I safely free up memory on my drive if I am at or near the limit of memory?

  A1. Excellent! And kind of you, too much work.

  A2. Well, this would be a "double edge" => If you uninstall an older update (in order to "save space") and then find that you need to uninstall a more recent update that replaced (replaced) the former for a reason, you wouldn't be able to do.

  That being said, see this discussion archived in another forum (where I also "hanging out") for a few suggestions related to dispose of "unnecessary updates...

  XP SP3: Post Installation Cleanup
     http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

  A3. Let me ask you this: are seeing you this "high memory use" alerts now?

  Speaking of which, you reinstall Norton Internet Security Online of Qwest or have you installed Microsoft Security Essentials to step #6 of my previous answer?

  Remember that the available memory is not necessarily related to the amount of available disk space. If you want to read / learn more, see the section of the optimization of your computer here: http://aumha.org/win5/articles.htm

  Very generally speaking, running Disk Cleanup every moment & should be all you need to do (especially if you no longer have an installed Norton application). Refer to the section of the free disk space up to here: http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx

• After downloading and installing an update of safety about an hour ago, firefox will not start

  After going online this morning, with my firefox browser, a box came say a security update was available and must be downloaded and installed. This has been done without apparent problem. At the end of the update, a note came up saying that the update should come into service after restarting my computer. What I've done. The computer started normally, but after clicking on the firefox icon, the program is not started. My computer is using Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  Hello tncovery, it works when re-download you the full installation file from getfirefox.com and install on top of your current installation?
