Windows Vista update failure.

Hello,
A month ago I had a problem updating Windows Vista Home premium edition,
which was caused by Comodo firewall.
Today I encountered a problem installing 5 (!) new updates: KB905866,
KB941644, KB943302, KB943899 and KB943411.
Did anyone encounter the same problem? If yes, did removing Comodo firewall
helped?

Thank you

RE: Windows Vista update failure.

Hi Rol,

A while back, whilst I was still using Norton Internet Security 2007, I had
the problem of some updates seemingly failing to install properly. They gave
symptoms of not being able to access the Internet or Windows Mail. I solved
this problem by going into the firewall configuration section of NIS 2007 and
setting IE7 and Windows Mail to 'Always Allow' instead of the default 'Auto'.
Perhaps something similar happens with Comodo as well, so I would advise that
you look at the firewall configuration section. For your information, I now
use Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0, and the updates that you mention have
all installed today without any problems whatsoever.

I have problems.
I noticed that KB905866 has different error code than other failed updates.
I installed all other but KB905866 and then updating was successful.
Then I tried to install KB905866 alone. But after several tries KB905866
failed every time to error 8000405.

I have Vista Ultimate x64.

RE: Windows Vista update failure.

Hello,
Thank you for your help. I already uninstalled Comodo firewall and the
updates were installed correctly. I'll install it again and try to do what
you suggested.

Rol,

I had the same problem installing the January updates. I uninstalled my
Comodo firewall after reading a post by someone else in the Windows Update
forum. If he would not have posted I would not have discovered the solution.

All updates successfully installed once I removed the firewall. I
usually just disable my firewall, AV and antispy apps once I have downloaded
the updates. I did not have to uninstall my NOD32 AV and my AVG AntiSpyware.

Have a nice day.

C.B.

RE: Windows Vista update failure.

I had the same problems, and did the Comodo V3 uninstall. Then the 5 updates
were successful. However, I can't get my sidebar to display anymore upon
windows boot-up. I have checked the configuration and it still indicates
that it is to load at Windows start-up. Any ideas how to get this working
again? The side bar security update was the one that did the failing with
Comodo, now it is successful, but no sidebar? Help!

Dreanmachine,

Click on Start, click on Help and Support, type "Open Sidebar" in the
search bar and then select the first entry, which is "Windows Sidebar:
frequently asked questions". You can then open the sidebar.

Have a nice day.
