  Unable to connect

  Firefox can't establish a connection to the server download.microsoft.com

  * The site may be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
  moments.

  * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
  connection.

  that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

  I tried twice today to post on the forum windows only to have IE8 back with impossible to locate the site.  I'm so compose the message this time and post on the Forum Internet Explorer as well.

  Hi 1FallenAngel,

  Firefox does not connect to the Microsoft update site. You must use internet explore for it.

  Please provide us with the error you are getting while trying to connect using internet explore. We would require the error code or error message for further investigation on the issue.

  In the meantime, you can try running internet explore in no add-on mode and try to access windows update.

  • Click theStart button, click principally made programs, on Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

  If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can use the add-on Manager to disable all add-ons and then turn on modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.

  In Internet Explorer 8, you can disable toolbars by clicking theX on the side of the toolbar. If there are additional modules associated with the toolbar, a dialog box will be displayed where you can keep or disable the Add-ons.

• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  Plugins installed

  • npmnqmp - 989898989877

  • Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

• How to remove downloaded updates for Windows 7

  How can I delete downloaded updates of Windows 7?  While the updates are being downloaded, apparently I lost my internet connection then maybe that these were not completely downloaded. When I was prompted to install the updates, I did.  During the stop, the computer only installed15% and then stop.  I am now invited that updates were not properly installed.  I have updated manually several times over with the same results.  Should I delete the old downloaded updates and start again?  If so, how do remove these updates downloaded so I start again.  Thank you.

• Cannot download updates in Windows 7 on dial-up connection.

  I need to use a computer * running is not Windows 7 * to download from Windows Update, paste them on removable media and install on Win7 box.

  The question...  Last fall, I bought my mother a new machine with Windows 7.  It does not and is not interested, a connection high flow - it has remote access.

  The last time I was visiting there, she mentioned that its Internet connection did not work.  Turns on it worked, but it was unusably slow.  It is in the process of downloading 165 MB of Windows updates.  According to my estimates, it would take about a day to download 165 MB more than 56 k modem... She is not willing to tie up his telephone line for so long.

  Original title: download updates on a PC (no-Win7), install it on another?

  A disable updates of Windows, so that he can stop tying up of its connection.  Of course, now he nags him with a warning of security because Windows Update is disabled...

  I need to be able to download the updates appropriate removable media at work & then send him the CD & a few instructions (simple!) for their installation.

  Otherwise, I need a way to tell Windows Update do not use bandwidth connection - use maybe 5 KB of its 56KO connection & leave the rest so the computer is not useless for a few weeks, then download updates.

  Is this possible?  Or she'll just have to ignore security warnings?

  FYI

  You can download individual updates from the catalog and register to be installed later.

• Windows Update crashes when you try to download updates. (2 different BIT errors)

  Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. AVG free.

  When I press "install updates" in the windows update window, it says downloading updates... 0 percent and it freezes.

  After a long time, itll fail and give me code error 80246008. I did what was said on this site, and it still doesn't work. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80246008

  I don't know if because it is not windows 7 specific, that i should even have to do that. The problem is that whenever I start CUTS in services, itll give me the error:

  "Windows didn't start the Service on the Local computer's Background Intelligent Transfer." For more information, see the system event log. If it is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service-specific error code - 2147024891. »

  In the event viewer, I have 2 errors. The first said "the BITS service was able to start. 2nd one that follows, error 0 x 80070005. ' said ' the Background Intelligent Transfer service completed with the specific service error %-2147024891.. »

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Thanks Kim, but could you be more specific about where the path of % ALLUSERSPROFILE might actually be on a standard installation of C:?

  I don't think that this folder exists nowhere in C:/users, including hidden files. Would be - it different in Windows 7?

  EDIT: Thanks for the help guys, I decided just to format, because that would be a guaranteed solution and everything seems to be working again now.
