How to disable Internet Explorer updates?
in [Windows Update]
|
From: ICTag on 16 Mar 2010 03:58 Hi, Automatic updates suggest instealling: "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP. on my freshly re-installed XP. However, the installation routine crashes with a blue screen during the IE8 wizard install so it will never install and I got round this by downloading firefox and setting this as the default web browser. Now, how can I remove this IE8 update from the updates list so that it stops prompting? There is no k-number shown so other posts I've found won't help.

In the meanwhile having a look into http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dd441788.aspx and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949220 might be helpfull. > Now, how can I remove this IE8 update from the updates list so that it stops > prompting? While I strongly do recommend to even install IE8 in case you won't make use of it as your standard browser: Open http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com with IE6, run a "User defined" search, clickl on the "plus" before "Windows Internet Explorer 8" beeing offered, and tick the "Don't show me this update again" option occuring then. BTW: IE8 = KB944036 ;) Bye, Freudi
From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 16 Mar 2010 13:10 What problems were you having that you thought reinstalling WinXP might resolve? Did you do a Repair Install or did you format the HDD & do a clean install? Had IE7 or IE8 been installed before you reinstalled Windows? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed IE8? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it and which would have been reinstalled, *but invalid*, when you reinstalled Windows)? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 ICTag wrote: > Hi, > Automatic updates suggest instealling: > "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP. > on my freshly re-installed XP. > > However, the installation routine crashes with a blue screen during the > IE8 > wizard install > > so it will never install and I got round this by downloading firefox and > setting this as the default web browser. > > Now, how can I remove this IE8 update from the updates list so that it > stops > prompting?

From: ICTag on 17 Mar 2010 19:39 Hi Freudi, The error is KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR. I can't follow the suggestion to disable shadow/cache RAM since this option isn't offered in the bios. I can't open the link in IE6 because I removed IE8 (thinking that was part of the problem) and firefox doesn't display the search option when I open your url.

From: ICTag on 17 Mar 2010 19:47 The PC wouldn't boot so I formatted the c: partition and did a fresh install. I suspect the hard-disk had a damaged sector. I did not format the other partitiions. I'm using Avast free. The blue screen also occurs if I deactivate Avast before trying to install. IE7 and 8 hadn't been installed after the c: format. I can't remember if an auto-update installed it before the c: format. The XP install was from an old oem recovery dvd and I spent quite a long time afterwards installing support packages and updates. I'm pretty sure (but no longer certain) there was no other security software installed during the xp install. There's nothing there now except Avast which I installed myself.
