    - Windows Service Pack 3 updates After the update took place, an error showed up 'Access Denied', then the updates are backed-off. The next message says that all the updates weren't taken off, and XP might have problems. This happened yesterday and today. What's the problem? These updates take a couple of hours and I don't have my machine. It has also slowed down considerably. Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 271086

    - Update error code 80070663 Hi, Have recently started getting the above error code for any Office 2007 updates (all appear to be security updates starting with the KB951596-related update which was issued on 12th August. There are now 6 updates all with the same problem. I have Office 2007 ultimate and am trying to install on Vista 32 bit (SP1). All other MS updates install correctly. I've searched for help on this (and not found much) - just to say that I have tried the suggestions in the KB article 913754 and have also tried downloading and installing the updates separately. I have also tried doing this in safe mode - all to no avail. Please let me know if there's any other additional info needed to start to address this (I run Kaspersky 2009 and it's clearly set to allow appropriate access for these downloads). ANY help appreciated - I've drawn a blank (and I'm NOT a techie-whizz, so please respond without making that assumption!!). Thanks Huw Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 271075

    - unable to install kb953839 on vista sp1 and sp1 was manually insta I've read threads about this update and have tried diabling my mcafee firewall during the install of this activex killbits update. it still didn't install.

    - Lockup and Slowdown Problems after installing August Critical Updates I am running SeaMonkey v1.1.11 and Quicken 2006 under Windows XP Professional. The computer is a 2.8GHz Pentium D820 Dual-Core with 1GB of RAM. Up until about 6-8 months ago, when I would delete old email messages from the trash folder in the SeaMonkey email/news reader, they would disappear just about as fast as I could repeatedly hit the delete key. Then something happened that slowed things down, and it would take about half a second for each message to delete. I found this mildly annoying, but didn't pursue the possible cause or solution. In retrospect, I think it may have been something similar to what has now occurred. This past Monday, I installed the Microsoft critical updates for August, and also KB951748 from July. As usual, I waited until just before the next batch of patches was due for release, as this usually gives Microsoft time to correct glitches in the initial patch releases. After installing the August patches, the display and deletion of messages has slowed even more. It now takes 2-3 seconds for each message to open, display, and/or delete in the email/news reader. Moreover, I was having situations where SeaMonkey would lock up and I could not shut it down without re-booting. I would look at it in TaskManager, and there would be two instances of SeaMonkey running, both shown as not responding. Neither would respond to a kill process request from TaskManager. One activity that was causing this was attempting to login to my Comcast email account. The login page would open with my stored account ID and password, but when I clicked on login the program would freeze. I may have been doing this before the page was fully loaded, but not certain on this. I also experienced a lockup problem with Quicken 2006. I uninstalled the August Microsoft Critical Updates and also KB951748. This stopped both of the lockup problems, but it did not fix the slowdown problem with email messages. I also re-installed SeaMonkey v1.1.11, but this didn't help either. Has anyone else noticed these sorts of problems? Is there a known solution? Thanks! John -- Please reply in this newsgroup. I never post my true email address to prevent spam. Thank you. Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 271064

    - Alsnog installatie XP3 na dit te hebben genegeerd In verband met de aanbeveling een back-up te maken van het systeem voor installatie, heb ik de installatie van XP3 afgebroken. Echter nu staat er geen icoon meer op de taakbalk (ook niet na herstart van de PC) en kan nergens terugvinden hoe ik XP3 alsnog kan installeren. "Controleren op updates" zegt dat XP3 al is gedownload en alleen maar hoeft te worden geinstalleerd. Hoe dat dan alsnog zou kunnen staat er niet bij. Marc Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 271055

    - Windows updates will not install Last night I reinstalled XP pro, then installed SP2 and sucessfully downloaded and installed SP3. When I ran auto update this morning I find that 18 updates have downloaded but every time I try to install the updates within 30 seconds I am presented with a message 'The following updates did not install' and the lists all 18 updates: Security Update for Flash Player (KB923789) Security Update for Windows XP (KB938464) Realtek AC'97 Audio Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748) Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP (KB953838) Security Update for Outlook Express for Windows XP (KB951066) Update for Windows XP (KB952287) Update for Windows XP (KB951072) Security Update for Windows XP (KB950762) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951698) Security Update for Windows XP (KB950974) Update for Windows XP (KB951978) Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - September 2008 (KB890830) Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP (KB953839) Security Update for Windows XP (KB946648) Security Update for Windows XP (KB952954) Security Update for Windows XP (KB951376) I am not given any error codes or any explanation as to why the updates failed to install. SP3 was fine so why not these ? I need to go on to install MS Office plus all my other software but don't really want to until all security updates have been installed.

    - Media Playback I run decent computer (see below). After installing SP3 while playing music on itunes, nothing new there, my music lags. And it seems as the play back slows down to about a tenth of the normal speed, and then starts playing normally. Any ideas why? I don't think it is a hardware issue becuase it only does it for media. Happens to DVDs and youtube as well. Thanks, AMD 3700+ 2gb ram ati x1900 all in wonder video card. Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 271022

    - Installing Windows XP SP3 I've been resisting the installation of SP3 because I've used automatic updates for all SP2 patches. However, many posts on this NG offer sufficient reasons to accept SP3. At last count, I have 140 Knowledge Base updates in my Windows folder. To save space on my hard drive, would it be acceptable to uninstall all these updates and then install SP3? Does anyone know of any problems this would create? Of course, I would back up my hard drive before trying this routine. Thanks in advance for your help. Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 270985

    - Can't get the Automatic Update service to be automatic in services I'm trying to update my Windows XP Pro after being infected by a virus, I've scanned the computer several times and I've found the virus, it's in a file called qoMcbcDs.dll, located in the C:\Windows\System32\ and I've tried everything to delete it (command, safe mode etc) , but with no success because the file is "in use" at all times. So, I tought, I have to try to update my Windows definitions. But when I tried it, the internet based update service told me I've got some services inactive, and gave me instructions to activate them. So I ran the services.mcs and tried to set the Automatic Update to Automatic (from Inactive), but when I hit apply the status went back to Inactive, sometimes it stayed Automatic and when I hit the Start button, I got a pop-up saying that the service Automatic Update couldn't be started on the Local Computer. Error 1058: Service can't be started. The reason is that the service is either blocked or there's no active devices to be associated with (translated from Swedish). The other two services, Background Intellient Transfer Service and Eventlog, are in order. It was when the BITS was stopped that the Aut.Upd. went inactive when applying, but when started, as it shall be, the Aut.Upd. went to automatic but when trying to start the service, I got the Error. What is the problem here? What shall I do to get it active and started, in order to get my updates? Is there an other way to get the updates? Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 270960

    - Windows Update Keeps Erroring I recently got a new hard drive and have been busily getting all my stuff back onto it. I got the Windows SP3 update, and two other updates, but now whenever I try to install my stuff it says "FAILED" and then gives an error code. How do I get around this?

    - Windows Vista Crash After Update Hi, either sometime this morning or yesterday automatic updates installed an update for vista after which my computer keeps crashing after booting up (which it does fine) for about 3-5 minutes. If I boot in safe mode this does not happen though. I have not recently installed any new programs or drivers either. Any reason this would be happening? Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 270945

    - which updates? Tonight I decided it was time to update my new laptop to SP3. It currently is running WinXP Pro SP2. I clicked on the Automatic Update shield and discovered 22 available updates, including SP3 and IE7. My question: Would it be best to uncheck everything but SP3 for now and do the rest after I know for sure that SP3 has been installed? Thanks much!

    - KB955302 FAILS TO INSTALL ERROR CODE 8007371C on Vista Sp1 I tried to install repeatedly KB955302 both on Automatic Update and by manually downloading the french version file setup from microsoft, with all my firewall, antivirus and antispyware shut off (I have AVAST 4.8, Comodo 3 and SpySweeper 5.8) but it fails each time. The computer shuts down as if it was installing it but automatic download is then asking me to install it again. I contacted the free email technical help without much success, sending him my windowsupdate.log file. Any solution??? I'm in the dark, here! Tag: Windows Updates not working Tag: 270929
