| | Updates K8938371 & KB947864 I've been trying to process the following updates to Vista and each time I try to do so, the updates failed: "Update for Windows Vista (KB938371)" Failed 4/10/08 "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB47864)" Failed 4/9/08. Would appreciate some advisement as to how I can get these updates processed. Thanks -- Floridaguy |

| | Re: Updates KB938371 & KB947864 What's puzzling to me is that KB938371 states "Install this upate to enable future updates to install successfully on all editions of Windows Vista" Does this mean that because I can't complete this update, I may have problems with future updates? Doesn't make sense to me. -- Floridaguy "Mark L.

| Vista Home Premium x64, x32 | Re: Updates KB938371 & KB947864 I believe that's an update for Windows Update itself is why. I would continue attempting to install the update. Perhaps remove any recently installed programs you may have added since the last Windows Update session and try again.

| | RE: Updates K8938371 Don't feel like the "lone wolf" FL guy...I've got the same "failure" problems and I'm from FL as well, lol's! When you try to get help, they give you error #800736CC and then they list a slew of unrelated b.s. for a fix! From what I've read, which is probably wrong...they say to install this you first have to uninstall the SP1 :-( which doesn't make sense to me at all! That's a rough update and besides that, the main reason for installing this update from what I've read is that it will make it easier to uninstall the SP, lol's!! I think I'm just going to have to bypass this IMPORTANT update unless Microsoft answers my question regarding this update! Good Luck & if you hear of any way to update this w/o having to uninstall SP1, please post it..Thanks! -- BIGWOLF57 ********* "Floridaguy" wrote: Quote: > I've been trying to process the following updates to Vista and each time I > try to do so, the updates failed: > > "Update for Windows Vista (KB938371)" Failed 4/10/08 > > "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista > (KB47864)" Failed 4/9/08. > > Would appreciate some advisement as to how I can get these updates processed. > > Thanks > -- > Floridaguy |

You would think that Microsoft would get their act together and cut down or consolidate these constant updates, what a pain in the tail! Wish I didn't install SP1 but then again, I just had to do a complete system recovery with OEM disks after I lost my D:\ partition :-( I'm not a big-time computer "tech" fan needless to say. Thanks again! |
