  Original title: Windows Update will not install on the new load XP

  Hi all

  Thanks for your replies.  Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but he got late last night, and I got to reregister the Qmgr.dll and Qmgrprxy.dll BITS files.

  I clicked Start, click on run and typed the command following, and then click OK:

  Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, click OK.
  Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, click OK.

  I was then able to start the updates.  There are 124 updates, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86.  He downloaded 124 updates, but even once asked me to insert the disc for qmgr.dll when he was installing the 10th update.  I find the qmgr.dll file again and pressed OK, but it seems to hang forever and do nothing, then I simply cancelled updates and closed during the night.  I have been relieved to have solved the problem of BITS, but is concerned by the hang up on the tenth update installation and he called again for the qmgr.dll file during the installation of updates.

  This morning, when I rebooted, it installed some updates at startup, and I restarted again.  He then held I first install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86 to date.  N BITS issue for that.  It took time, but completed settle.  Restart again and now there are only 21 updates to high priority required.  My guess is that he downloaded all 124 updates last night, but when I cancelled the installation after hanging on #10, he just started to install it again this morning and did so successfully.

  However, when I try to install the 21 remaining, he has not once again, and I find that the BITS service is not in the services again.  After I have re-enter the BITS service and restart it, the downloads are working again.

  I am now what I may need to reinsert and restart the BITS service whenever I need to download an update.

  Ideas, suggestions or comments?  I am slowly solve problems and if I persist, I can get this all taken care.

  Hi Dan,.

  From what you wrote, I understand where you are getting confused. Here are the steps to follow to solve this problem.

  Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

  Research should show this file in the following locations:

  C:\Windows\System32
  C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

  I hope they are all present, follow these steps to register the service.

  Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK
  (If you do not have the command run in the start menu, hit the Windows key + R, instead)

  Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll and then restart.

  Here are the next steps.

  Copy / paste this command in the field to run, and then click OK
  %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

  Windows will launch a dialog box asking you to insert the Windows installation CD. Ignore this and change the way downstairs to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  The reason to change the path to the i386 folder is that the files that are there are newer than those on the Windows installation CD.

  Then restart the PC again and continue with the rest of the troubleshooting steps.

  Click on start, run and copy/paste the following and click OK: services.msc

  You should now be able to see the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, or just "BITS" displayed in the list of Services.

  Double click it to open BITS and then click on the Start button. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

  If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
  Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

  Restart then try and start the BITS.

  If you get the same error again, copy / paste the following text in the field run and click OK:
  Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

  Reboot once more and then try and start the BITS.

  Let me know how you please.

  Method 1: I suggest you consult the site mentioned below:

  Temporary connection related errors may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update

  Important note: 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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Manually install updates

  Step 1: Steps to find the update does not install

  a. click Start, click all programsand then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

  b. click view update history. A window opens that displays all the updates that are installed and those who have not installed properly on the computer.

  c. in the status column, find the update which do not install and then click on the red X.

• Cannot install updates for WIndows - error 80070490 and installation disc?

  original title: error 80070490 and installation disc?

  Dell, Vista, x 64 laptop.

  I can not install updates, including Service Pack 2 and IE 8. I managed to fix the other error messages, but this one is a winner.

  I can't follow the steps here because I don't have an installation DVD. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and did not come with a disc because everything was preinstalled. Even if I had a disc, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD-ROM external drive when it is plugged in (a problem at a time!), so it would always help. "The System Update tool does not work on this machine, probably because of that pesky little" compatible operating systems: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 "requirement. I so need SP2 to download the tool which will allow my computer to install SP2? Nice little catch-22 there. I agree with the irony. I disagree with not being able to install updates at all, ever.

  Is it possible to re - install without a disk? Can I solve this problem at all or I'll have to take the laptop to Best Buy and ask them to do some voodoo Geek Squad to it?

  Hello

  Check if your computer has a recovery partition.
  If the computer has a recovery partition, use the recovery partition to restore the computer to factory settings.
  Note:   All programs and data will be lost.  You can make a backup of all important data and reinstall programs.

  You can also contact the manufacturer of your computer, and asking for a disc.

  Please note: you must have a disk for Installation of Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 integrated in to perform an upgrade to your computer, like your computer with Service Pack 1.

  Note: Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, I suggest you to save all the important date of the computer before you perform the upgrade on the spot.

  Thank you

• Cannot install Kodak printer getting error 0 x 00000002

  I've been back with computer Kodak and HP - technical support HP laptop with Windows 7 installed. They blame each other and are unable to resolve it without restoring my laptop to original settings (losing all my installed programs).  The Kodak printer is an ESP 6150 and it seems all the software and install updates, but when I try to set up the printer, it recognizes the printer is there and immediately I get the error message 0 x 00000002

  FINALLY... THE REAL SOLUTION!

  Here's the real solution directly from Kodak:

  The problem is with Windows 7 64-bit architecture. You will need this MS XML missing from here:

  www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7f6c0cb4-7a5e-4790-a7cf-9e139e6819c0&displaylang=en

  Click on the first download link: msxml.msi (2.0 MB). Download to your desktop or where you can find it easily.

  IF (IF) you've already tried installing Kodak with failure, uninstall the printer by clicking Start > Control Panel > programs > uninstall a program and choose all the Kodak software.

  Then click START, type RUN. Type services.msc. From there, you can see the list of current services. Find print spooler and select Restart in the upper left corner. If you see Hello or associations with Kodak, restart them. Click on exit.

  Return to your MS XML download and double-click it to run it. It will close automatically after installation.

  Now go to: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17138/selected/true

  Download it on your desktop or where you can find it easily.

  Double-click it to run it and follow the instructions.

  It will work for Kodak EasyShare 5500 AiO as well as other Kodak printers.

  Breathe and the best of luck!
