Cannot access the necessary updates
I just reformat the hard drive on my computer and reinstalled the operating system from the disk provided with the computer system. At the time I bought the computer operating system is Windows XP SP2. I'm trying to access updates needed to bring the BONES to the current version of Windows XP SP3 but cannot access necessary updates. I did it for another computer I have about 3 months ago and had no problem doing this. Now, whenever I try to access the necessary updates, I get a message that says the site cannot open the page I am trying to open. This happens on Windows Update and Microsoft Update. How can I solve this problem?
Bob,
Please see the thread below for a possible solution:

Cannot access the Microsoft Update Site
I get the following error message when you try to access the update site:
Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computer
Make sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again.More troubleshooting options
- If your computer is connected to a network and the problem persists, contact your system administrator to see if your Microsoft Update settings are managed by using Group Policy.
- If your computer is not connected to a network, or if your system administrator has not disabled Microsoft Update, check if the Windows Update service is disabled or stopped. For information about how to start a service, search help and Support on your computer.
Note: If you encounter problems with the installation of Microsoft Update, you can continue to get updates for your computer by going to Windows Update in control Panel.
[Error number: 0x800A01AE]I AM logged on as administrator (it's actually the only account on the system other than the guest account: I have renamed the main administrator account and use it as my account {I know this isn't the best practice, but I always did like it and it makes things easier being the administrator, especially since I changed the name for security reasons}). I have a small home network wireless, but have no defined group policy (no server - just-to-peer). The Windows Update Service is launched and running (but I stopped and restarted it just to be safe).
I don't quite know what to do next. I would like to be able to access this site for updates that cancelled or failed during the update process automatic (and who seem not to be re - that appear as options when I check the updates).
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...
BTW, I use a Dell Inspiron E1705 with 32-bit Windows Vista Business SP2.

Hi trski,
I recommend you to check for possible malware program.
1 restart the computer using safe mode with networking. If you have a Type of Internet connection wireless, have a wired internet connection. To restart in Mode safe mode with networking:
a. press the restart.
(b) at the moment you press the restart button, keep tapping F8 until that Advanced Boot Options appears.
c. Select Mode safe mode with networking
2. open the Web browser to explore and go to http://safety.live.com.
3 scan the OneCare Safety Scanner full Service.
4. take note of the items that are detected, but cannot be deleted, as appropriate. Get back to me with the names of the infections that cannot be removed, if necessary.
5. after removing the infection (if any), start in Normal Mode by restarting just the normal computer like you do it.Run Windows Update again, and get back to us with your findings.

Cannot access the Microsoft Updates Web pages
using XP Home Edition on a laptop. Victim of a crisis (virus/trojan/worm - don't know what) in the new year, she launched the system restore and all of the restored data. Downloaded AVG to analyse the system, checked MS Security Center and I saw it worked not - says, he had been arrested. Much research for corrections, tried several of them, including uninstall AVG and other scanners, antivirus, installation SP 3 and MS Security Essentials and all other MS security downloads I could find. Still no access pages of MS update, always "THIS webpage IS NOT AVAILABLE". Also downloaded mpam - fe.exe and MPAs - fe.exe but does not - get access denied when select current to run user. How can I get updates MS if I can't access Web pages? I don't know what updates I've missed.
Mosty likely, the computer can be infected by ROOTKITS.
Try TDSSKILLER to find rootkits.

Hi Jemd3,
I suggest you to completely remove Norton of the system using Norton Removal Tool and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Maybe it's that your computer is affected by virus and malware. I suggest you run an online anti-virus scan and a scan for Malware. See the links below.

"0x80072eff", that's what I get when I try to access the windows update site. cannot go further. any ideeas?
Thank you
I think that your machine feed some MS, blocking of malware.
Hard & more difficult scanning with multiple AV programs (not at the same time)
You can access Kaspersky or Norton site? If this isn't the case, then you definitely a virus blocking area.
These pages might be useful:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/962007
Run the malicious software removal tool:
Try to use another uninfected machine to see these articles & download latest anti programs anti-virus & updates in offline mode. Then those of the infected machine transport of optical disc.
Don't use USB drives because the virus will try to put a back to itself on your storage device USB that will infect the machines in the future or infect your newly developed system in shape again.
In the worst cases, or for beginners full disk HARD formatting & at the same time the formatting of USB storage are more protective defense.

Hi all
For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.
I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.
I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?
Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

It is the result of malware, then do a very thorough check and when the system is

resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
