Cannot install updates or turn on the firewall. Need help please

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit service pack 2 and I'm unable to install the updates, this is the case since December 2011.  I received the error code 80096001. I tried to run the Fix - It, but it does nothing.  Help, please!  Also, I can't turn on the firewall.  I scanned for malware with Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, and none is found.

Thank you, but who has not helped either, so I finally had to use Recovery Manager to wipe the drive and reinstall Vista again. So far so good.

  • Cannot install updates to Windows on the Satellite L505-13N

    Hi all

    I have a L505-13N and I recently changed the HARD drive. Even if I had a copy of the installation for win7 64 bit disc, there is a message at the beginning of the "set up services" that the installation could not proceed with this material...
    In any case, I installed the 32-bit version that came with the laptot.

    After installation, I tried to install the updates, but it's impossible. In a first time, that there was a message that the service can not started. I restarted services updates and the laptop itself, but nothing different happened. The same message.

    I tried both 'fix it' packages available for windows, but nothing has changed.
    I tried to install an inspection tool for installing sp1 (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 86) and it gives me the 0xc8000247 error message and no installation.

    I tried to install sp1 (from downloaded file - Windows6. 1 - KB976932 - X 86) directly, and it is for me a catastrophic failure with the error E_UNEXPECTED (0x8000ffff).

    All this with the program antivirus-firewall disabled.

    Anyone could offer a solution, because I would like to install at least sp1 (if not to receive updates!).

    Waiting for your answers - proposals,.

    > Anyway, I installed the 32-bit version that came with the laptop.
    I guess you used the Toshiba recovery disc that contains the image of Toshiba, including the Windows 32-bit system, Toshiba Software, tools and drivers.

    Windows 0xc8000247 update problem seems to happen to other owners of Windows system, as this issue was already discussed in the Microsoft forums.

    * The 1st alternative: *.
    Please, start the console (cmd.exe) with administrator privileges and run the command
    sfc.exe/scannow

    * 2nd proposal: *.

    * 3rd proposal: *.

  • Linked excel tables in InDesign CS5 update problems and keep the formatting: need help

    I've been using excel to place several tables in my InDesign CS5 document which will require the update on a regular basis. The tables are already formatted in excel, so I will place in InDesign with formatting and you will usually have to reduce proportionally the tables as soon as they are in InDesign CS5. When I'll update the links, it is important the content of the tables as part of current text with larger text and I am unable to "Insert the picture content" or "shrink content proportionally." Nobody knows how to solve this problem or know of another way to link excel with formatting tables and update without having to reformat the table (i.e. to resize the image and text) every time that happens an update? Thank you!!

    Can't do it, sorry. Tables only.

    We need to know what update causes this problem. I suggest that you want to run System Restore before the update will install and install all the updated manually and see update is causing the problem.

    Restore the system to an earlier point before installing this application.

    System Restore can return your files system to a point in time before you noticed a problem, without affecting documents, photos, or other personal files. If the system restore does not resolve the problem, you can undo the restore operation and choose a different restore point.
