Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; error # 0x800A138F

Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; Get error # 0x800A138F. I would appreciate a mention of help on this issue. Thank you.

(My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

Thank you! Success!

I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade - error code: 0x80070005 on a Mac

    I'm having a frustrating morning, try to install Windows 7. I currently have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and you have purchased the version upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate. As soon as I try to run the installation file, I get the following error. ¨Windows could not create an installation folder.

    Thank you.

    See if your Bootcamp is actually the version 3 (right click - on Bootcamp) I did a system restore because I had just updated those drivers. But if you did when you got your Snow Leopard, you need to uninstall Bootcamp 3.0 in programs and features.  If you remember, when you loaded Windows Vista first you did not load Bootcamp until after installation has been completed.

    So to remove 3.0, restart, then try to install again.  Let us know how it went.

    For a while now, I received guests at the logon screen for Windows 8.1 free download in the Windows store.

    Once again, for a long time, whenever I tried to do this, the installation bar is sitting there, but nothing happens.
    Today I got at least one error code: 0 x 80200013.

    To be honest, I never really bothered that I couldn't update, but today, I discovered that there are apps that I can't download, until I updated to Windows 8. 1.

    S ' ensure that you apply the latest updates before upgrading.

    -Try to switch to a wired connection if you download over Wi - Fi

    Disable/uninstall no matter what third-party Antivirus, you may have installed before the update.

    -Do a clean boot.

    You can find the details here for which the update is necessary to see the Windows 8.1 update.

  • Cannot install Windows Vista updated system preparation tool

    I downloaded the update for Vista 32 bit system preparation tool, but when the program tries to install after initialization, the installation progress bar never appears, the installation seems to just "hang" and do nothing.  I tried to cancel the installation, but the program seems stuck, I use the Task Manager to cancel the installation.  I wonder why the tool cannot install on my PC after downloading.

    Hi mlzla,

    I hope you do well.

    No, if you do an upgrade on the spot, you will lose any program. The on-site upgrade process will take around an hour or two. It is very useful.

    have tried to install this update for Age, still get the same error, tried to manually download downloads of MS, but get msg "detection failed, this may be due to a corrupted installation database", what is average, ideas, little user profane.  When there is a lot of updates installed on 'closed', 'start-up' sometimes I get a blue screen and sometimes have to restore, again the new.  my laptop is a sony vaio and they asked me to make a full recovery. what I think is a little extreme! all conventional wisdom greatly.

    For individuals, please visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy.  If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  • Cannot install 2 important updates - unknown error: Code 80070026 and Code 26

    For months now, I have tried to run updates for Vista Windows, but I get these two error codes. I thought I might have a virus that my antivirus regularly had not taken, I went to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm and performed a full scan. There are several issues, but they have been resolved. However, I can not always install updates and I get the same error codes. Any help?

    Hi Sylvirblu,

    Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

    Please let us know about the updates are available for download and the failure with the error code 80070026.

    I will suggest that you turn off the Antivirus software that is running on the computer and put the computer in a clean boot environment and then try to run the Windows updates, as in this case seems to be a conflict of third party software.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your problem is resolved, follow the procedure to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
    In addition, refer to the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode
