WINDOWS UPDATE I have install the same updates

Recently, I have restored my computer Windows Vista to factory default.  I loaded all updates (a few at a time) and all have been completed successfully.  Now, it looks like WINDOWS UPDATE is having me reinstall the same updates, as they reappear on the list of updates to be added.  Please tell us what to do.

You receive errors related to updates?

  1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
  2. In the left pane, click view update history.

  3. Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
    Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
  4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.
  5. Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

    Says Windows usually updates installed and ready to turn it back on - it did not.
    The new window updates, explains all the updates above are available and does not seem to recognize that they have already been "installed".
    Suddendly machine may not be used, any open window says "not responding".
    Tried to install the updates again, but same as above.
    Restart the computer.
    I got Thunderbird open and does not and used Firefox to try to access this forum.
    Firefox picked up trying to open on this forum and said not reponding.
    Same as above, nothing had changed and unable to use what whatsoever.
    Uninstalled all the above recent updates.
    The machine works again instantly.
    Open Firefox to access forum, he reported problems with the last session on this site and so I started a new session.
    Everything works well and fast.

    If I look at 'review your update history'
    All the updates mentioned above are presented as successfully installed twice.
    If I look at "the new updates are available," all the installed and then uninstalled updates are listed.

    So before I try to install the updates listed above again, what known problems are there regarding their.
    Why do you have the "check updates insist I had not installed?"
    Why updates has not asked to restart the computer?
    Why install the updates above make it impossible to use any programs?

  • Windows XP does not install the automatic updates.

    Original title: kopieerfout

    After several years, my laptop with Windows XP does not install the automatic updates, giving only a mistake:

    "

    ER is een doing opgetreden bij het van het bestand ntoskrnl.exe copying

    Kan het bestand niet naar doelmap copying.

    Everything works OK.

    Thanks for your help

    Everything works OK.

    It seems that it is not... Why Dutch? You use or have the corresponding language version installed?

    Free translation of message:

    "An error occurred during the copy of the file ntoskrnl.exe
    Cannot copy file to destination... »

    Please note that ntoskrnl.exe is a process in the cycle of the initial startup on your computer program.

    Try to load your "last known good configuration".

    The issue is also known to be caused by a short circuit in the ground cable into the keyboard cable. Make sure that it is not the cause of your error by replacing the keyboard with another keyboard or just disconnect the keyboard from the computer. You can also look at your function "Add or remove programs" If KB2686509 <> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686509 > is installed.  Install manually if it is not.

    If the above doesn't help, try using the Sfc.exe tool - see here > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Or run the Chkdsk tool - see here > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    If still no luck, you may need to restore the file ntoskrnl. exe as follows:

    1 - insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD is probably the procedure below does not solve your problem.

    2 - restart the computer and that the computer starts, you should see a message press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key.

    3. - in the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu, press the R key to enter the recovery console.

    4 - Select the operating system you want to set and enter the administrator password.

    5 - type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32

    6. - you will be asked if you want to overwrite the file, type Y and press enter to replace the file.

    7 - type exit to restart the computer.

    Hope this helps - good luck!

    Hi, CPC,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
     
    You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.
     
    You log in to vista, you may not use any of the XP application and vice versa.
