Help.... I have been trying for months to have updates installed with no luck..

Can anyone help me to explain as to why they will not install.

Any help would be welcome.

Here they are:

Security Update for Windows XP (KB918118)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB926436)
Update for Windows XP (KB931836)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB928255)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB927802)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB927779)

Thanks, Russell
 
I have used a programme that fixes Update and MS Installer problems. Now all
my updates have been installed sucessfully. You can download it for free at
http://djlizard.net/software/Dial-a-fix-v0.60.0.24.zip

It was recommended to me by MS updates support desk.

Use the MS Knowledge Base search on this suggested fix. Normally, if MS
suggested a fix, it would be in their KB. This way you are certain that you
are not getting malware.

This is supposedly the VISTA community. Why are numerous posts referring to
XP?
I need some SERIOUS help getting VISTA to get Windows updates. I cannot ask
MS because they claim my product is invalid. It is NOT. One of the solutions
says to make sure 3 websites are listed in the Win Firewall permissions.
Problem is Win Firewall only accepts programs and NOT links. Instead of
naming this Vista Ultimate they should have named it Windows Ultimate Piece
of JUNK. It's worse than ME! To spend nearly $5000 on a new computer only to
find the OS is an unbelievable piece of junk is extremely upsetting.

No this is not the Vista Community - you may well have thought that as you
are posting in that web interface.
You have come into newsgroups and this group is for all updates on all
systems.

The programme I suggested does not alarm Windows Defender!
Anyway. the programme was recommended to me in an official Microsoft Support
Case email response. I had used the Windows Update Support link from the
Update homepage to ask for help.
It was only later that I discovered this Communities website.

Antioch,

Thanks for the info, I can only go by what the page says at the very top
"Windows Vista Community" Please excuse my obvious ignorance. It appears I
have once again been
screwed by MicroSoft. BTW for what's it worth I was able to send an EM to
Microsoft support via their web site. They didn't ask for my valid product ID
that the Windows site claims is invalid. (Yes I activated Vista or at least I
think I did?) If I get something of use I will post it here.

PS Consider yourself lucky. I have been unable to DL USENET headers for 3
months
now. Have tried 6 diff NG programs, 3 diff NG servers and 2 different
computers.
Just spent 45 mins of wasted time trying to resolve this with the so called
tech support
at Comcast. Oh well, at least I cannot blame this one on MS.

Regards,
SparkS
