WinXP SP2 update never finishes

I was having a power connector problem on my Dell laptop, and I shut it down. However, instead of shutting down, it started installing the latest updates. The battery died before finishing. The laptop has been repaired, but now when I try to do updates, it gets hung up on the "first" one. It says that "upgrades are being installed" and "do not turn off or unplug your computer, it will turn off automatically." I have let it run for over 24 hours, and it hasn't turned off yet. Obviously, "something" is jammed in the queue. Can anyone suggest any next step(s). TIA, Steve

hello What criteria are used to store hotfixes in these 2 registry hives? HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates Is the former the default in earlier Windows such as NT, and getting used less and less often? To obtain the definitive list of hotfixes for opsys and products, is the latter the correct place? Not to mention the Uninstall folders in %windir% Hong

Hi We develop software for the medical industry and are very tightly regulated by the FDA. One of the regulations roughtly translates to stating the environment/components that the software uses E.g Heart Diagnoser 1.0 use MS SQL2005 SP1. If instead of MS SQL2005 SP1, SP2 is used at a customer site, the Heart Diagnoser 1.0 is in violation of FDA standards and is considered a spurious product. This is precisely what is going to happen if automatic Windows updater is set on at the customer site. A SQL server patch could be installed thru automatic updates making our product spurious. I want to know if there is anyway to turn off SQL2005 updates comiing t…

I had this problem when running a program called NetLimiter (it allows the user to limit/grant different ammounts of bandwidth to different programs). I stopped the program and then stopped the related service and windows update worked fine. -Josh "DawP" wrote: > I got it working,changed from the nvidia onboard network adaptor to the > marvel onboard adaptor. > > "Maurice N ~ MVP" wrote: > > > Info please.

A couple weeks ago OE stopped responding. The initial screen would come up but whenever you clicked on anything the information bar at the top would say "Not Responding". Also, when I look at the Windows Task Manager it shows 2 copies of OE running, both say "Not Responding". When I look under the Applications Tab it shows MSIMN.EXE consuming between 97 and 99 percent of the cycles. I spent a lot of time looking at Mcafee, thinking that was the culprit. I didn't have any luck finding anything that resembled my problem. Has anyone had this problem or know how it can be resolved? I'm running Windows 2002 5.1 home edition SP2 and Internet Explorer 7.0. …
