Windows Update?

Ok I want to use movie maker on my laptop. Well it does not have it installed. So I go to microsoft and it says it comes with service pack 2. I already have service pack 2. Well it says I can get services pack 2 and all the features like Windows Movie Maker With it. by updating. It says there are three ways to do this. First Turn on automatic updates. I KEEP automatic on all the time and it has not downloaded a single thing. Second do and online Windows Update. I Tryed this and when It gets to the little thing with the green bar it freezes and says I get an error report then it closes. OK some of you are saying my copy of Xp is ilegal well it came with XP When I bought the computer. And one person said if I have Xp on more than one computer in the house it is not legal well I have three computers in my house but they are all legal they all CAME WITH XP when I got them I did not use and update. I bought them all at diffrent times and each 1 of them came with Windows Xp Service Pack 2. So I bought the computers and have not upgraded them from anything it still has the service pack to and stuff that was already INSTALLED on the computer I parents bought them all from eiether Best Buy or Circuit City I am not sure but they still have the Xp and service pack that was already installed when they bought it. And I have downloaded stuff from Microsoft before and it makes me Verify my windows before I download anything and I have always passed my verify thing.

Answer:windows update is a pain in the you know what. best thing to do is see if you can use the version of movie player you do have; if not its just better to get another program, or if you REALLY want it see if you can download the files to your pc (offline installation) ; go to the website and look through help for specifics on this finally you can just order the update disks, but if it doesnt work youll probably NOT get a refund

How Do I Get Windows Update To Stop Pushing Media Player Security Fixes On Me?

I've recently uninstalled Windows Media Player and its security updates from my computer (Win 2000) through the Add/Remove Programs feature, but the automatic update notifications keep on coming for Media Player security fixes. The FAQs for these updates on the Windows website don't list my OS as one that is vulnerable. How do I let the updater know I no longer have WMP? Do I need to make a registry edit?

Answer:You could play with the registry.....it can be dangerous though. You could also try this: When you go to the Win Update site, and it shows you the update for your computer, you should see a small box with a "plus" sign in it. Click on it, and look pass the explanation and you should see a line with a box that says something along the lines of " Click here to hide this update" This way Windows Update should hide the update from your system. It's a bit safer than playing with the registry.

How Can I Stop Windows Update From Trying To Install Updates For A Deleted Software?

I uninstalled office 2007 (home and student) so I could go back to using office 2003. My Windows Update still tries to give me updates for 2007 which is annoying as I like the ease of not having to untick a dozen boxes every time I want to install the latest patch etc. Can anybody help?

Answer:I think that there might still be office 2007 files on your hard drive somewhere. Windows Updates doesn't try to install updates for software that you haven't got. Try using Secunia's excellent Personal Software Inspector. It will scan for missing patches and also for old versions of software or remnants of old versions.
