back to IE7 - now can't run windows update

after upgrade to IE8 xp svc pack 3, system was extremely slow. back to IE7, now system works much better. tried to update windows and could not do because activeX controls blocked me. What can I do?

Hello

1 How are you sure that the activeX controls prevents you from installing Windows update?
2. what exactly happens when you try to perform the system restore? If you receive an error message then, send the same return.

  • 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?

  • Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

    In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

    An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

    We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
    At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

    This PC can't run windows 10
    There is no supported network devices

    I have the same problem, I can't believe only two of us have the same problem

    I want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7

    perhaps I misunderstood the message that I can get on the internet and the use of a wireless adapter belkin to connect to the internet is there a way around this problem

    could someone from microsoft or the microsoft community help

    Robert

    Please, take a breath and describe your problem in detail and in order.

    I see that you have a computer running Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit?  Which edition?) at the moment and you want TO upgrade to Windows 10.  For example, so that you can properly work your mind around it - a few questions...

    Are you ready to upgrade?

    How are your backups?  Made sure your consistent data (just the things important to you) backups are working correctly and can be restored from?

    What your support installation and key product / series number backups - all that sorted and easily accessible?

    Have you checked, while visiting with the manufacturer of your system and the manufacturers of the software, you use most on your computer, all what you have/use/want to use are supported by said manufacturer with 10 windows and discovered that, instead, you need to do to continue the use of a stringer of such things after the upgrade?

    Some device drivers upgraded, you need to download?

    A software patch?

    Uninstall the software before upgrading to Windows 10 and install it once the upgrade is complete?

    You have refined a method of execution to a COMPLETE PICTURE of the right SYSTEM backup before you start the upgrade? After all the upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7/8.1 could be likened to move coverage while stand you on it - so it is quite complex and has its risks.  Backup offline during the upgrade (and external) media image full system is a VERY good backup plan in case something goes wrong or - you don't like it.

    You might even want to clean this system some current, make sure * it * is as healthy as it could be before attempting to upgrade.  An efficient and up-to-date system is more likely to result in a smoother experience for an upgrade is as broad as this...  You could look through this previous conversation where I suggested someone clean up their system before the upgrade:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/scheduling-the-upgrade-to-Windows-10-not-working/13e88e85-2919-4e20-847E-94073e48090c

    Some links that would be different from those in the above suggested cleanup link - if you have WIndows 7 and not Windows 8.1 (and want to do the same cleanup)...

    Disk Cleanup: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/818-disk-cleanup-open-use.html

    SFC/scannow: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

    Defragment: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11733-disk-defragmenter-open-use.html

    When you think you're ready...

    Use the page web media creation tool to kick off your upgrade.

    The big take away there are: the device drivers, software updates and BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!

    You could even make a full image backup of your current system and CLEAN install Windows 10 using your product key Windows 7/8.1 (from - likely - your product key on your machine sticker) and start completely cleaned with 10 Windows - install everything you want or need and restore your personal/etc of your latest files backups of files/folders (not the picture of the system.)
        
    Then, if things do not work on (pilot devices, software, etc.), you can use the system image backup to restore State "pre-fact-anything that it" and continue on.  ;-)
