• Cannot run Windows Update in Vista 64 bit Ultimate. Download popup that Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running.

  Windows Vista SP2 from worm 6.0.6002 Build 6002.  KB2675157 Explorer 9.0.8112.  Runing Norton 360 6.2.1.5 (I disabled the two virus checking a firewall).  My problem is that I ran Windows Update and go on a popup message: Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running.  I ran last update of Windows in April and he was properly executed.  I run FixIt 50202 and checked that wuauserv, misiserver, bits, cryptsvc, and workstation are started.  I am able to run updates on all the software outside of windows.  I ran recently updated for Radeon Catalyst Control Center, Safari, Chrome, and various Adobe products.  I don't have another PC with Vista I can compare the registry entries.

• Cannot run Windows Update on Vista SP1 8024A 000, 0x8000ffff?

  Vista Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit, Internet Explorer 7.0.6001.18000.

  It is a Toshiba laptop of 2-3 years I'm trying to reinstall for someone. The original drive died & was replaced. The recovery CD were never done, so the factory records were sent from Toshiba. I tried to reinstall a couple of times now - the same thing every time. I have installed/reinstalled systems for more than ten years now - and this is the first time that I ran across something like this RE: updates. Always ends in error A 8024, 000.

  I followed some of the ideas I've seen online, including: rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, running orders to cut services, run a batch file, and then restart the services (those here who have encountered this probably know the fix, I mean), I tried to install the most recent Windows (could not install error 0x8000ffff) Update Agent tried to install the full SP2 that is downloaded on the desktop - go. I checked the internet time was set & work (it is).

  It is a completely new installation of Vista. The machine has no antivirus by default - contradictory antivirus program is not a source of distress. Similarly, the first place, I tried to log in after this initial installation is therefore highly unlikely that I got a virus by going directly to MS, out of the box, so to speak, WU...

  Help?

• Cannot run Windows Update from the PC that was previously on a domain.

  Original title: cannot run Windows Update

  I got my PC of my former company with a local login. However, the PC has been joined to a domain. The company no longer exists, but because the PC has submitted to its group policies, I can't run Windows Update. Is there a way around this problem? Thank you.

  Strongly suggest that you contact the administrator of the domain so that it can correct or remove strategies group that are applied to the system.

  In addition, ask the installatiion Media for the edition of Windows installed if you don't have it now.

• 8024A 000 error code when you try to run Windows Update on Vista 32-bit

  I get the above error when you try to run Windows Update on Vista 32 bit.

  I use an Asus laptop and have used the Asus recovery cd.
  I just replaced the old HD (500 gb) as it failed with a 750 GB HD.
  I tried the SP1 upgrade to SP2 and this causes a "catastrophic failure".
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you
  Sam

  Thanks for the support. I got the Asus machine this morning and they have corrected the problem in a few minutes by running a short script. In my view, that it is a common problem with Asus and Western Digital HD. Anyway congratulations to Asus. Here, after the service is impressive.

  See you soon

• CODE 80072EFE: cannot run windows update

  I had some problems with my computer Windows Vista - Business Office.  Here are the ones I've noticed so far.

  1. I can't run windows update, I get error code 80072efe when I try.

  2. I get continuous popups.  Not all the time and not every time I have a Web browser open.  Sometimes my browser will open only to Web sites at random, for most of the sites trying to sell me something.  I've just close it before it ends even loading and it will be generally fine for awhile.

  3. on my desk, I'm going to organize my icons where I want that they around my screen (work icons in a spot programs, browsers/email in another, records of files on my second monitor, etc.)  Whenever I restart all my icons automatically group either by date or name, and I have to go through the re-organization.  (This one is obviously not really important but I thought that I list all symptoms).

  4. I tried to do a system restore, my computer has a restore point when you start if you press F11 on the scree of HP (or enter the boot menu by pressing F8 or F5, etc) and it will not allow me to enter this screen.  I can't enter the menu start and any other menu it lists on this screen, but the system restore seems to be disabled in some way.

  I tried to run the scan on windows.live.support (or whatever the site is) and he found a lot of problems and 1 question he couldn't solve, so now I'm stuck.  I tried running malwarebytes scan and it does not pick up any viruses.

  Any suggestions?

  Launch TDsskiller (Rootkit removal tool)

  http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.zip.

  After that, restart the computer and check for updates

  And if there is a pop - up use the scanner found at http://safety.live.com

• Blue screen, cannot run Windows Update

  I was browsing Reddit when all of a sudden my laptop decided NOPE and closes everything down to make an update. It was 03:00 so I wasn't thinking straight and closed on the rise and went to bed. The next day, while in the class my phone showed me a blue screen with some writing for everything... long enough not to read what was then asked if I wanted to start in different security modes. I thought that this could be because I interrupted an update and I tried to run Windows Update, but it will still not open.   I can't access anything whatever, and I have a paper in four days... Help, please!

  We need the DMP file because it contains the single record of the sequence of events that led to the accident, what drivers have been loaded, and what has been loaded.

  
  

  WE NEED AT LEAST TWO FILES DMP TO SPOT TRENDS AND TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.

  
  

  If you're overclocking (pushing components beyond their design) return you to default at least until the crash is resolved. If you don't know what it is that you're probably not overclocking.

  You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting in SafeMode (F8) with networking.

  If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are that if you are unsure if you are, you are not)

  To allow us to help you with symptoms BSOD on your computer, download the contents of your folder "\Windows\Minidump".

  The procedure:

  * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another location (temporary) somewhere on your machine.

  * Zip up the copy (compress)

  * Please download to a service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" to share files and put a link to them in your answer.

  Link to find out how to download below.

  http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

  To ensure the minidumps are enabled:

  * Click Start, in the search box, type: sysdm.cpl, press ENTER.

  * On the Advanced tab, click Startup and recovery... Settings button.

  * Make sure that automatically restart is unchecked.

  * Under the writing debugging information header, select image partial memory (256 KB) in the list box drop-down (varies from 256kb).

  * Ensure to that small Dump Directory is listed as % systemroot%\Minidump.

  * OK your way out.

  * Reboot if changes have been made.

  Please also run MSinfo32 and download the output as well.

  To run MSinfo32 please go to start > run > MSinfo32

  Go to 'file', 'save' and download the PDF is saved with the DMP

  System specs are extremely useful then please include everything you know.

  
  

  Blue screen view and that crashed are often wrong and should only be used in case of emergency...

• Cannot run Windows Update. Keeps saying to re-record the files but nothing helped.

  Funny but I seem to just receive this error message when I run windowsupdate.com

  "Files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

  Click option 1: register or reinstall the files for me now (recommended)
  Click on option 2: Let me read on other measures that may be required to solve the problem. »

  By clicking on option 1 sets as it is something useful, then goes back to the screen Windows Update offering Express (recommended) or custom. Whichever you choose, it sends you back to:
  "Files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. "To continue:

  By clicking on the option 2 doesn't send you a place that helps you solve the problem, it sends you to a screen where you can "SEARCH FOR YOURSELF" from scratch!

  I tried a few solutions as re-register DLL files, but not to prevail. It has not changed.

  I tried force windows update agent installation, but nothing works. It's really frustrating.

  I am running on a Windows 2003 Std Edition Server. "I would have preferred direct product. Any day. And twice on Sunday. "Director Steven Spielberg

  What are the files DLL have you tried re - record exactly?

  Have you tried to register MSXML3?
  "regsvr32 msxml3.

  You can also try to run the "sfc/scannow" command and let Windows try to repair system files.
