one_care_always_error_with framework

I can't ger Microsoft one_care to work without warnings and been waiting for
one care help. Very afraid i made a big mistake getting rid of norton. One
care always tells me my computer needs help because Microsoft .Net framework
1.1 service pack needed as a critical update. Won't install over and over.
two error codes trying all sorts of things error 0x643 and error 1706 no
valid source could be found. below is what i asked microsoft to help me with
but so far i don't even know if they got my two emails:
questions:
1)Do I need framework 1.1 service pack like microsoft
update says I need?

2)Is Live OneCare a replacement for my old antivirus
and firewall or do i need to products?

3)Should I use dotnetfx_cleanup_tool? I have read some warnings and concerns
about dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.

4)Should I use my original DELL disk and re install
Windows XP?

5)Should I re install Windows XP service pack 2? I
got it on cd.

6)Does every computer have this framework problem?
I have a Compaq computer I need to update on line and
I want to put LIve OneCare on it but I'm afraid if it
does what my Dell is doing with Live OneCar.

Please give some instructions and direction

I have used the repair command under add/delete programs to repair Microsoft
framework 2.0 but still that framework 1.1 service pack won't install. The
"work around" microsoft gives is crazy---how is turning off my anti virus
program (which is one_care) going to solve the problem? I've always had auto
updates on so why does one_care want me to update now when this update has
been around for a long time. Did microsoft auto update not consider this a
critical update??

thanks to anyone who can help. i really appreciate.

One Care is in BETA and should not be used on anything but a test
computer. Uninstall it and download Avast for your AV and Zone Alarm for
your firewall.

This is a security-related update, so you should apply it. If it will not
install properly, then use control panel Add/Remove Programs to uninstall
Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1, and reinstall it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

You must uninstall any other third-party anti-virus or firewall products
before installing OneCare. There are known conflicts between certain
third-party anti-virus and OneCare.

Steer clear of this in case it damages those parts of .NET that OneCare
relies on. IF you choose to use this tools, uninstall OneCare first, then
re-install it again after you have reinstalled both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0

No need yet, just get the Framework update to work.

No need yet, just get the Framework update to work.

No. The ones that have Framework problems typically had beta versions
installed instead of the proper release, or other non-standard states.

..NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 have nothing to do with each other, and repairing one
will not help the other.

Because third-party anti-virus applications have been known to prevent
Windows Update working correctly.

Yes, but presumably the update failed, so it is still being requested.
OneCare definitions are updated frequently, and this check for this udpate
might be a recent definition update for OneCare.

OnceCare is no longer beta - it is in full release in the US.

I stand corrected.

My advise to you is as fast as you can get rid of this Windows One Care---a
while back I tried the beta and my computer went haywire and yes the same
thing happened over and over could not get an update without reinstalling the
framework program over and over and I had the help of two Microsoft
techs---my PC is a HP Pavilion and will not work with this WOC. To make
matters worse my studid behind had alredy removed all my other anitvirus and
spyware programs and the WOC simply di not and would not work without causing
problem after problem as soon as I got rid of it and reinstalled all my
antivirus and spyware which I had also paid for--I was lucky to get them back.
All of a sudden my computer was zipping along with no problems so I am
certain it was the WOC that was the culpret--I just do not think it works
well with some pcs. I also encountered a problem with the backup stuff in
it--I thought well maybe if I complet restore from backup thiongs would work
right---"WRONG"---the program refused to even reconize the backup disks that
were made with it. That is whn I simply removed the entire program and that
was a chore in itself--I am still finding bits of this program and don't know
if I will ever get it totally removed.
Get rid of it and quit going through all this BS about how to make it run it
ain't worth it. Good Luck to you.

Just heard from MICROSOFT OneCare and the rep said i didn't have to worry
about dooing any updating with the service pack. She said: "Net Framework is
installed. Therefore, currently your computer has been installed with .Net
Framework 2.0, it is not necessary to install .Net Framework 1.1 Service Pack
1." OneCar still scares me because i do have backups but my personal files
and finances with names address ss# phone numbers etc are on this pc. God
help us. Thanks for everyones help.
