80072efd error when updating windows and messenger

Hey my update log indicates that the last update, I was able to install and DL was 11.12.2008 after the computer I (we) gave this error message: 80072efd.

I tried to do the steps in the resolution of the problems, but I do not have an antivirus program today (closed subscription) and my windows firewall is the default value.
I would just wipe the HD and reinstall Vista but I just recently failed at that and my other laptop is now in the service department: S

I studied, google and claimed a solution on this issue and at least 10 other technical sites. There is none and to be honest, I don't think that there will be a. I found references to the problem 80072 efd dating from the Vista RC and have NEVER seen a solution. Well, you can wipe your hard drive and re install if you have a disk in the windows retail, but I call that a 'solution' that is just nuking everything you have and start over again. Kind of like having a house where the entry door won't lock so shave you this House down and rebuild AnotherOne coming soon that resembles it in the same place once you have thrown debris...

Note: I'm sorry, I do not see your Messenger reference. I saw that it fixed when messenger is the cause. Read the solution "swanands" on THIS thread and see if it works. It is one of several solutions I've seen work for 80072 EFD for MESSENGER.

  • Another fantastic error when updating of CC

    Currently CC is blocked at the update of 2%. I restarted right after having to deal with him telling me that there is another open Installer and it gave me error code 81. If I have to use the software of Adobe to remove and reinstall CC cleaner it will be the second time I had to do and that is not ok. It's VERY not ok. I don't want to be rude, but it is very frustrating to have to deal with a program that opens if it updates and frequently gives me errors when updating. I really want to cancel my membership and just get back to what the programs separately. It takes a good few hours every time I need to do this. Now I get the error code 1002.

    I am very frustrated and I would like someone from Adobe to talk to me directly. This will begin to cost me money if I can't get work CC. Thank you.

    It seems to be able to install now. I had to reboot my pc several times after uninstalling. Too bad. Still, we must do better debugging of this stuff before release. I always update problems.

  • Problem message 66 a updated windows and performace error on Windows Vista

    Original title: windows update error

    I have problems to download windows updates.  I bought new spyware, PC unleashed and already have Norton. I tried everything I could think of to fix this.  I changed the settings, cleaned records etc. nothing works.  Considering that I know almost nothing about IT, I'm there winging.  My computer is Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  It's a gateway bought about 2 years ago.  He sometimes stops for no reason (no blue screen of death again).  I am desperate to solve this problem, but reluctant to take it to a computer repair store.  I tried Microsoft Fix Center several times and tried different repairs but still nothing.  Don't know what happened but suddenly, the computer is slower and updates do not work.

    I'm afraid to do too much fear I may damage my computer or worse.  I received the error 66 has time and time again.  I have received various messages which have failed since April but didn't know it was because my computer was always a small icon of security under the start menu that tells me to stop and install the updates so I could do this after I was using the computer think he was installing updates , but obviously none of them.  Now I can't even count how many updates have not been installed.

    Due to the scans, I have ran, it was said that my computer has high speed, a lot of RAM etc... but I have problems of instability.  It makes me wonder if it's something personal! Laughing out loud

    I would appreciate any assistance available.  Thank you.
