0x8024400a when downloading Windows XP sp2 update error code

Previously, I'm under win sp1 and recently updated to winxpsp2.  Now, while trying to windows update (express) I am geeting this error [error number: 0x8024400A]

The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

Why wasn't SP3, not to mention SP2 installed years?

~~~~~~~~~~~

Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

Note: Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

Good luck!

    Follow these steps:

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the page following before otherwise connect the machine to a network or the internet and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    NB: Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  • Windows Vista. Update error Code 80072EFE

    I'm so sick of Vista, error code constant update and cant update since April 2010, windows Defender won't update, installed a service pack manually, but I can't get the security updates, get error 80072EFE code, very frustrated at this point, all scanned and it's showing no malaware , or virus or anything, so he doesn't let me access my desktop unless I'm scanning the c drive for errors first (2 or more hours to scan) Oh so many questions, I could try windows 7. At my wits end with Vista premium 32 bit... Thanks if you can help... frustrated!

    Hello

    I've seen this error quite often.

    Error 80072EFE is related to the update server closing the connection.

    Mosty likely, the computer can be infected by ROOTKITS.

    Try TDSSKILLER to find rootkits.

    Download and run from here

    http://support.Kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/TDSSKiller.exe

    Then try to update Security Essentials

    See you soon

    Thank you.

    I don't think that the download is finished.

    1. Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.
    2. Uncheck the option to check for messages every X minutes.

    See if the download is finished now. If this is the case, leave analysis off e-mails, but check again the other option. If you still have questions, ask the experts here. More in this forum which I belong do not use Windows Live Mail.

  • Windows does not update error Code 80004002 poster

    I have Windows Vista 64-bit

    Hi glassmeister,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You install updates?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Method 4: Follow the steps in the article.

    When I try to download the update of windows I get an error code every time: 802440F. Can you please help me solve this problem?

    @ Evanston only!...

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).

    See...

    Cleaning a compromised system
         http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).

    Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck & achieve before Thanksgiving 2010!
