could not check for updates automatically

has got an important message indicating that the system was unable to automatically check updates

You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

How to reset the Windows Update components

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

    Repair facility:

    You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this still does not resolve all problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) (if this is not successful.)

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Please make sure that you back up all the important data before you continue. Please visit: methods for your backup files.

    Always make sure that you have the means to reinstall your programs, or by an installation disc or access to the installation files.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

    2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

    3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

    6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

    7 follow the instructions.

    Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

    Note: Tit the following settings is reset by default:

    Its computer system

    Device drivers

    Visual effects

    Windows services

    If you notice missing files after the upgrade, look in the following folders:

    These files can be eliminated with disk cleanup as "records destroyed by upgrade to Windows".

  • Windows could not search for new updates. Code 80072EE2

    First, some background...

    I am running Windows Server 2008 / Hyper-V

    I have a Vista OS guest I have loaded from a base image (vhd)

    I also have a Server 2008 guest OS also loaded from a base image

    These images have not been created on this machine.

    I had guest OS installed since the XP CD but since she departed.

    The machine on which it is all performed has a 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 X 6800 processor.

    8 GB DDR2 RAM

    I've had this problem for several weeks now.  At the beginning I could not the host OS to run updates, it would fail with an error 80072EFE code. This is for several weeks. Finally, while researching this problem I came across an entry mentioning only the BITS required to run so double I checked it. Of course, it was off. I started the service and that fixed the problem with the host operating system and apparently the problems she was having with other sites.

    So I think big is issues with the Vista and the comments of 2008 operating system. No luck, these systems still will not run updates.  The 2008 operating system returns an error "Windows could not search for updates" with a code error 80072EE2

    I tried several solutions to this problem, and at least twice have reloaded the base images because I mucked in the system so much that I lost track of all the changes I had made to the OS.

    I ran these commands...

    regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
    regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\dllcache\wucltui.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
    regsvr32 /s c:\windows\system32\wups.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll

    I also tried the procedure found here...

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-SG/vistawu/thread/6511a332-7de3-4F10-B823-49b6dae86b9c

    Which loads a new "TrustedInstaller.exe" in the folder "C:\windows\Servicing\".

    And on the Vista operating system I also tried this...

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    By clicking on the "Fix It" link.

    It still does not.

    Oddly if that I'm typing this I had rebooted the OS Vista and restart it it notafied me that he was installing updates 1 of 3. However when it finished I tried to check the updates and it gives me the same error "Windows can not find updates" with a code error 80072EE2.

    Someone at - he found an answer to this question. I ask because I'm looking for what I see many people with the same issue.
