    Cannot install and update the apps store of windows 8. When I click the button install is not install only loadin. Plese help me.

    After trying all suggestions from several sites, I found that the problem is that the Firewall window must be running in order for the applications to install.   If you are running Windows 8 Pro, go to the desktop and click on "My computer" and double click on 'manage '.  In the window on the left side computer management, expand "Services and Applications".   Click on 'Services', in the Center window, scroll down to "Windows Firewall" right click on "Windows Firewall" and click "Properties".  If the Startup Type is "disabled", click to drop down and select "Automatic".  At this point, you can click on 'Start' under the service status.  Once the Windows Firewall is started, you should be able to start installing and or update your apps from the app store.

    I find it peculiar that you just bought a HP computer brand new, still-in-the-box, which came with Windows 8, not 8.1, preinstalled Windows. That said, cross your fingers, roll up your sleeves and try the fix following multiple step, I cooked up just for your computer...

    ACTIONS

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline.  IMPORTANT => NO SKIP & perform all steps in one uninterrupted session!  [If a step said to restart, restart! ]

    1 right-click on the link, select SAVE TARGET as.... & download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above and select run as administrator to run the Norton utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. right-click on the following link and save the download to your desktop: ie8 - rereg.all.zip [1]

    4B. right click on the file that you saved in # 4 has & select EXTRACT ALL. This will create a new folder in Office also appointed ie8 - rereg.all. The folder contains both scripts below (plus a third that will NOT be).

    Note-online scripts are good for IE9, IE10 & IE11, too,

    5. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the task bar), open the folder created in step # 4 b above & double-click on the file named ie8 - rereg.32on64.cmd to run the script.

    5 b. Repeat this for the file named ie8 - rereg.64on64.cmd then restart.

    6. reset Internet Explorer by the MANUAL of instructions on this page-online http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

    The latetest (cloud) update sometimes does not work with old programs... Try to install your updates manually

  • Cannot install SP3 as it crashes even after recovering the computer by using a recovery disk

    I recently had an accident requiring that I reboot using my restore disk that were made when I first came to this computer. Since the restart, I can't access the updates from Microsoft Updates program. No error message, tells me that I can not connect. After several attempts, I think that the problem lies in the validation of the Windows program I use. I tried manually to run the validation program and to download security patches I've saved previous accidents. I show that SP2 is underway. I have a standalone download SP3, that when I upload in the system, crashes and burns. Back to the same thing, restart using the recovery disk. I realize for XP ends next month and its time to upgrade. But I would like to have this machine in working condition to use for other tasks.

    Original title: update XP

    You are a candidate for this patch before installing SP3...

    .. you are if your PC is a HP Pavilion and Presario, Media Center and has an AMD processor.

    To find out if you have an AMD processor...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Your processor type is shown in the computer: section (see below)

    You can do a restore of the system in safe mode to get rid of the SP3...

Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for any help given11 Karen x

    Nanna leighlas,
    Please post with the information requested here: what to post in the Windows Update forum

    I would say you can try a different virus scanner (such as a scanner online) just to check that you don't have a problem with virus\malware.  Here are some links that can help with this:
    Get rid of malware 
    Can I clean an already infected computer?    
    Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner Windows XP

    Then, you must perform a clean boot on your system and then try to install SP3.
