XP Pro sp3 updates fail

Updates are set to notify and in recent weeks when the icon is clicked on a page with a list (of long) is presented and when you click it to download a few seconds the router activity ago then the action stop and the icon disappears.  Updates fail.  A time later same updates are presented again.  Anyone know how to remedy this.

Some updates are: KB2888505, KB2858302, KB2596615, KB2596672, KB2596785, KB2687311, KB2687499, KB2760416, KB2596843, KB2510531 and KB2596848.  Some of them appear old enough so I don't know what gives.  Until this problem started, the machine was up-to-date and updates were install normally.

If a manual update is requested check page shows no activity or is running continuously.

Thank you, John.

Your instructions helped me to start good SONGS.  Properties of BITS came as shown with the current runtime.  Was able to update of 16 of the 17 updates.  .NET framework 4 failed (KB2858302v2).  .NET repair tool does not accomplish a repair so I downloaded a new copy of .NET and installed in repair mode.  The last update then installed successfully.

Now, everything's fine.  Thanks a lot for your help.  John.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 can not get updates - don't stop to check updates and nothing happens.

    For the past 2 weeks I can't get windows on windows xp pro sp3 updates. The green bar that runs while the verification of updates just keeps running and running and does'nt stop until I have stop. No error codes at all.
    Run the fix it tool and indicates "registration for the service is missing or corrupted" and it offers a solution for the problem of the does'nt.
    What is the reference for this?

    I had the same problem and you will spend one day trying many suggestions, including various Microsoft Fix - its, which none worked, and which some worse messing with the BITs service (that I then had to restore, losing even more time).

    In the end, I found that the problem was related to the update of Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. There is a kind of incompatibility with previous versions of this update that causes IE stuck when he tries to check the updates.

    The solution for me was to download and install the * last * IE Cumulative Security Update * manually * before you try to run Windows Update to get the other patches. Here's how:

    (1) using the Internet Explorer, I visited the current MS security bulletin page

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin

    (2) from there, I went to the latest summary (November 2013) and found the update of IE at the top of the list: "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2888505).

    (3) I couldn't see direct links for just this update, so I copied the number of the Knowledge Base - 2888505 - and google for "Download KB2888505" (Bing didn't work by the way). This gave me the direct download link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41074

    (4) I have downloaded and run the update installer and then restarted (as required by the software update).

    Microsoft/Windows Update restart worked. I repeated the same process on a second computer with the same problem and it worked also.

  • Windows update fails on XP Pro SP3 with 0x8007F064 error code.

    Windows update fails repeatedly on XP Pro SP3 with 0x8007F064 error code:

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2661637)
    A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2647516)
    Update security for Windows XP (KB2660465)

    Update works fine until yesterday. Microsoft tool ran (no change), reloaded Windows Update (no change), a tool for malware own virus check comes to nothing. Any ideas?

    Since it is a Dell computer, chances are a Norton or McAfee free trial is preinstalled. When you have done the clean install, the free trialware would have ALSO reinstalled (but not valid now).  Let's see if the execution of two removal tools & a few tweaks resolves the behavior.

    [You can print these instructions for reference offline. [If a step said to restart, restart! ]

    1. click right on the following link to download the Norton removal tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    1B. right click on the following link to download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

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

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 a above, to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    3. double-click the file that you saved in # 1 b above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

    4 start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults: select (check) the CUSTOM [<>] configuration option, and then click the arrows pointing to the far-right | Browser: select "Internet Explorer" here (to not "use my current... »). [1]

    Illustration: http://teamtutorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/set-program-access-defaults-02.jpg

    If you return to check the out parameter #1 above, it'll be "Use my current..." "but now it's going to be"point"to IE so that you don't need to change anything or reset. [Think of it.]

    5. now check your settings here: IE tools | Internet Options | Programs | Default web browser: If the make default button is NOT dimmed, click/press it.

    6. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    7 c. run difficulty he 50202 in DEFAULT modes and AGGRESSIVE. [2]

    8 restart once more.

    9. open Internet Explorer (only!) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | See if you can install all the available now security updates (i.e., KB2660465, KB2647516 or KB2661637).

    There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

    Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

    visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

    When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

    It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

    Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

    Start > run > C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

    For the 64-bit version, change the command run 86 read 64

    In the alternative, there is a troubleshooting tool that can work to accomplish the same thing

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

    A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

    Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

    When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

    If there are still problems with Windows update try this utility.

    next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

    There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

    I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

    OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
