Repair Firewall

Willy2:
What system are you on ? XP, Vista, 32 bit, 64 bit, ............ ?

Grab the file in the attachment, unzip it, switch off internet and run the file with admin rights. And report back whether it solved the problem.

Shane:
Odd, normally the repairs get updates working again, unless it is something outside of windows updates causing the problem.

Just to cover all bases have you tried this yet?

Maxaira:
Well, one small step for mankind ... and an even smaller one for me.  The updates that I have tried to bring on numbered 28, but only 10 made the grade.  That's less than 50%, but it's the most that I've had success with in over  a year.  That's something.  Whatever you did in that link you set me on to had some effect, but whatever the problem is, it's still there albeit somewhat diminished.  Incidentally I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit.  Let me know if you come up with anything else that might cinch this thing once and for all.

Willy2:
- What link are you talking about ? I presume Shane's ?
- Did you try the "Windows Update Readiness tool" ?
- A trick that helps me sometimes is selecting & updating one update at a time.

Maxaira:
Yes, the link that Shane proposed.  I also downloaded the Windows help that was suggested, and while it did not totally help, it did allow one new update to do with a "Hotfix" to be installed.  Other than that, I am still not getting all the updates that Windows is recommending.  I fear [though not dreadfully so] that this situation is a dead one.  I am thankful, however, that we have progressed as far as we have, and if any further remedies come to the fore, I will be pleased to hear about them.
