    Hello

    You are unable to download the updates?

    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Method 1: Temporarily disable any security (including firewalls) software and check if the problem persists.

    Check out these links:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable
    your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are
    connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    See the article mentioned below and run the Fixit diagnostic tool to fix the error 643.

  • Installation fees and can not download updates, 0x8024400A error

    New installation on a laptop Gateway... Service Pack 2 for Windows XP (Media Center Edition)...

    Have not installed anything besids the operating system.    I am able to browse the internet even if the default browser would be planted several times and then finally to allow access...  Try to download updates from Windows using IE and Firefox...  Use of IE, it describes the options for express or custom then less than a minute returns an eror:

    [Error number: 0x8024400A]
    The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem.

    For self-help options:

    In the event log, I see the 8 and 16 event id...  I connect via a wireless connection... also tried to use a wired connection.  Do not use any proxy Server, no proxy settings are in the browser.  Also checked at the command prompt.

    Again, this is a new installation of Windows, and no other software has been added yet, so I can't blame a third party software application.

    Version Internet explore is 8,00.  I was able to download from Firefox, but that's all...

    any suggestions?

    SP2? Which makes life easier. :-)

    Preliminary work:

    Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

    1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

    2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

    3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

    5 install MSE.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

    7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    8. reactivate the automatic updates.

  • Windows Mail: Cannot download E-mail: error: 0x800CCC18

    I'm unable to download my email in Windows Mail to my Gmail account, but I can send emails from this account. I was able to do it without any problem until I changed my password and deleted the account and establish a new in Windows Mail. I use POP3 server and get the following error message:

    Account: 'Gmail account', server: 'pop.gmail.com', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR invalid command gs2mb20844665wjc ', Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC18

    Can someone help me with this error? Thank you.

    I am answering my own error report because it may be useful to others. I solved this problem now, but I don't know why it worked today and not yesterday. It is possible, it's because I did not follow the instructions correctly to run wmutil 15.1 that erases a corrupt windows Messaging database. When I ran it first, I did not remove the first e-mail account. This time, I did, I ran the utility and configure the email account again. I had to change several times to get the correct port with a secure connection (SSL) numbers, but then it worked.
