Can not get updates after SP2 installed on Win Vista Home

I just installed SP2 on two computers. A Compaq laptop and the other a HP desktop computer. I can't receive any update on computers.

Windows Update insists that the computer is up to date.

In comparison, my own computer with Windows Vista SP2 has many applied updates.

How can I fix this?

Charles_W_Davis,
If it's been a few days since you have installed SP2 and don't always get updates then you may need to reset Windows Update components.  Run the hotfix article tool, and then run Windows Update.  First, run the tool in normal mode, then test, if it is not corrected, then run it in aggressive mode.  Post back with the results.

  • Can not get updates after the download and the installation and reboot

    I have a Dell Dimension E521, Window Vista Home Premium desktop computer. Iwill download and install updates, but whenever I restart my computer I have installed. But to install anything, I need to reset the time and date, and the time zone. No updates of any kind can be installed. I can't move IE7 to IE8 or any site at all. My windows freezes constantly and I often crashes. Drivers will not install either.  Help, please!

    After that you turn on your computer and reset the time to be correct, it does keep time until what you restart it?

    If she keep the correct time until the reboot, the problem lies with a coin size $5 trickle battery in your motherboard.

    Replace it.

    You must have the correct time to get updates and install it properly...

  • No printer Listed Port - can't get any printer to install on Windows Vista Home Premium - Please HELP!

    I was able to print to a Hp Officejet 4215 with no problems and a brother and then printer started to save as offline and would not print. Uninstalled all printers and tried to install a new HP Officejet 6310 printer. Ran the install disc included, but would get the message error, is went to the HP site and downloaded the driver, still received the error msg - Windows found a driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. The specified port is unknown. and installation of the device software has no error. I went into control panel / Device Manager / USB controller group / and tried to uninstall - restarted the pc and still no luck. When I go to the control panel and try to install a printer, there is no port printer not listed and I can't add a new port.  I have connected the printer to another laptop running Windows Vista and recognized the new printer and installed the drivers and the impressions very well, but this laptop will not load the drivers. Help, please... Im a university student and desperately need to print!

    Hello

    All ports are used, and this is the reason why the installation goes through. We can uninstall these devices that are not in use and then try to reinstall the printer. Here's how:
    a. start, point to all programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
    b. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
    c. type the following command a command prompt and press ENTER:
    Start devmgmt.msc
    d. troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.
    NOTE: Click Show hidden devices on the view menu in device managers before you can see devices that are not connected to the computer.
    e. now navigate in imaging devices and then Device Manager expand it. Check if there are any devices that are not highlighted or blurred. Right-click on these devices and choose uninstall.
    f. repeat the same Universal Serial Bus controllers also.
    g. now try to install the printer.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't get updates since SP2 installation and update of the Windows Update Agent.

    I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I have done 3 installs clean for several days and each time I install SP2 and update the Windows Update Agent I can't get updates.  When I click search for updates, it just keeps looking for hours and hours and never stops looking.  I tried several solutions on the internet, including those found here.  Of course, the first thing I did was run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  He could not solve any problems found.  He gave the error code 0 x 80070005.  I installed the SubInAcl.exe and run several different command text and a text of the batch.  The batch text did nothing.  The texts of order had errors of syntax and a file, he could not access.  I ran the System File Checker, and it finds errors, it could not fix.  I just did a clean install on this machine 6 or 8 months ago because I was going to get rid of the computer, so when I put in place I used the username user.  I came across no problem at all when I installed the operating system and update everything.  Since then, I decided to keep the computer, so I wanted to have it in my name.  As I said, this is my 3rd try.  I am willing to give.  Maybe someone here can help.

    I tried two clean installs and I get the same thing.  Once I have installed SP2 and the new Agent update, I can't get more updates.  It keeps only the search for hours without results or error messages.  I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing works.  I get always the same error code 0x80070005, when I run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  There must be a way to solve this problem.  Why I was able to do a clean install of 6 or 8 months without any problems, but now I can't.  It makes no sense at all.  I really hope someone who knows the answer reads this.

    Ralph C.

    I finally got it!  I tried two other proposed solutions, then I ran the System File Checker, which is no problem, then I ran Check Disk.  Check disk found and repaired files in the file system of BITS among others.  After that, I'm now completely up to date with Windows Update.  I was ready to give up.  I'm glad I did not.  For anyone else having similar problems, don't give up, the answer is there.

    Hi Markh21518,

    1. do you get this error when you try to install Windows updates?

    2. when the problem started?

    You can try a system restore to a previous point where you have not experienced the problem.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:

  • He can not get updates due to currupt registry.

    Maybe a virus/malware or a mistake on my part but I can no longer get automatic windows updates or manually. Will not be updated with security icon on the task bar warning me and in Control Panel 'SYSTEMS' I check the recommended automatic updates but still. Will going by using registry fix system restore curruptions? If this is not the case, what are my options to resolve this problem. BTW, when I go to MS page to download updates is said error page is not available.

    Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

    (1) have your system scanned by the antivirus/security suite installed.
    (2) run this tool from Kaspersky: how to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS

    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684>
    (3) download, install, update and run full scans with two of these tools free anti-malware:

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free>

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    http://SUPERAntiSpyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html>

    (4) run the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe) tool:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747>

    `~`

    If no malware has been detected, there's a Fixit on this page which will reset the Windows Update components:

    How to reset Windows Update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058components >

    Suggest you download and Save it. Then, close all the open programs and web browsers.
    Run Microsoft Fixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.
    After that he finished the race, see if the return code is displayed again when looking for updates.

    If not, then run the Fixit once more and choose his Aggressive mode.
    Restart once it is finished and see if the return code always appears when the updates.

    IF malware is detected, then please post if it has been removed and that the specific name of what has been detected.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 can not get updates - don't stop to check updates and nothing happens.

    For the past 2 weeks I can't get windows on windows xp pro sp3 updates. The green bar that runs while the verification of updates just keeps running and running and does'nt stop until I have stop. No error codes at all.
    Run the fix it tool and indicates "registration for the service is missing or corrupted" and it offers a solution for the problem of the does'nt.
    What is the reference for this?

    I had the same problem and you will spend one day trying many suggestions, including various Microsoft Fix - its, which none worked, and which some worse messing with the BITs service (that I then had to restore, losing even more time).

    In the end, I found that the problem was related to the update of Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. There is a kind of incompatibility with previous versions of this update that causes IE stuck when he tries to check the updates.

    The solution for me was to download and install the * last * IE Cumulative Security Update * manually * before you try to run Windows Update to get the other patches. Here's how:

    (1) using the Internet Explorer, I visited the current MS security bulletin page

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin

    (2) from there, I went to the latest summary (November 2013) and found the update of IE at the top of the list: "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2888505).

    (3) I couldn't see direct links for just this update, so I copied the number of the Knowledge Base - 2888505 - and google for "Download KB2888505" (Bing didn't work by the way). This gave me the direct download link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41074

    (4) I have downloaded and run the update installer and then restarted (as required by the software update).

    Microsoft/Windows Update restart worked. I repeated the same process on a second computer with the same problem and it worked also.

  • Can not get updates from running Malicious Software Removal Tool

    I was not able to install updates from the Microsoft Windows running malicious software removal tool. Continue to be 800700005 unknown error. Why?

    OK, given that the MRT has not installed or ran from 29/12/2010, how he did cause the 80070005 error since you state that updates have been installed up to 12/02/2010 if you read the history of the update properly?

    Something is preventing the MRT of installation and execution if she has not installed or run from 29/12/2010.

    Strongly suggest that you run this tool, Kaspersky or do a scan with the Microsoft Security Scanner as the most likely something is also a malware, unless you are down to install and run it or installed security software is in conflict with it.
