Why Won't My Computor Download Microsoft Critical Updates (85)
Thank you Engel! I work at a premiere Computer Builder and we have ran into
this problem many times, our solution is to just re-image the comp.. I have stuff on mine I don't want to loose. Dial-a-Fix got through the problem wonderfully.. |

Hi Engel,
I'm having the same problem only I'm using a 64 bit Windows Vista OS. Dial-a-fix is not available for Vista yet. Ccleaner did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

I'm sorry if I am in the wrong area for this to but, I am having the same
problem as well. My question is, why do you have to run these to applications in safe mode as apose to the normal way? I am going to try this method and see if I can get my updates to install on my system.

Do the scans with all the check marks ºn. Run the above remover in safe mode then Ccleaner on all 3 settings(windows,apps & issues) and clear anything found reboot and see if it still exists. NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep running it back-to-back until it finds nothing. One scenario is a registry key may only be a reference pointing to a completely different location in the registry and when it's removed then that reference link is also noticed as being invalid on a subsequent scan. It's generally a good idea to keep running the Issues scan until nothing is listed. There is also a third-party fix which has had good results for a number of folks he Dial-ª--Fix http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix ; Run this program with all the functions activated in safe mode. --it may look as if the scan has frozen. DAF is actually doing lots of shoveling and shuffling, so don't interrupt it. Please read the page and Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to Download Dial-ª-fix Exit Safe Mode (Reboot) Try the updates n0w I hope this post is helpful. Let us know how it works ºut -- Engel, I hope you read this, but thanks for this post as it has saved me from going insane. I have followed your recommendations and it has worked like a dream. I will also be making contributions to the two providers you mentioned. Thanks once again. Regards Chris |
