Same problem, reason - something on your computer will not allow the updates to be installed!!! - no resolution given -- If it moves, click it!

Guest fotojunkie Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Updates could not be installed Hi PA Bear, thanks for your response. Sorry for the omission Windows XP. I had my PC fixed lately (had a USB conflict problem) so not sure if it had SP3 added. To my knowledge I have sp2 - how can I tell if that has changed? Please know that I am completely PC-illiterate, so I'll need really simple direction! -- If it moves, click it!

Guest fotojunkie Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Updates could not be installed PA Bear - I just checked under My Computer Properties and it appears I had sp3 downloaded!

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Re: Updates could not be installed See KB943144 or take your machine backed to the person who "fixed" it. It looks like they reinstalled WinXP and then installed SP3. fotojunkie wrote: > PA Bear - I just checked under My Computer Properties and it appears I had > sp3 downloaded!

Guest mooquuzitive Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Re: Updates could not be installed Have just this morning solved this problem on my PC, after weeks of searching. The tip came from a technician where I bought my PC (in Germany) and a search of the of this file with Google found it only, it would seem, on German websites, this should not present too much of a problem though : winupdrestore!v23.exe I hope it helps you too, after all my desperate searching felt a need to share the information. -- mooquuzitive
