    Well, you use an old laptop of 8 years with a 11 year old operating system - it takes a little go extra step to get things.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    If you receive the Windows Update 8024001 error while trying to install updates, an update to Windows Update is installed. Depending on how many programs are running and the operating system files or folders are affected as this update is installed, it may take several minutes before you can install other updates for your computer. Try installing updates later.

    If so to resolve this issue, rename the Spupdsvc.exe file, and then try again to install updates. To do this, follow these steps:

    a: ClickStart, and then run.

    b:   Copythe following text,paste it in the run box and then click on OKor press on ENTRY:

  • try to use Windows Update with Windows Mobile 6.1 gets error code 80072ee7

    First of all, I don't know why it is not a category to select Windows Mobile as the "main product" this issue is about.  Microsoft should really put in place the best support for their mobile products.

    That being said, here's my problem.  On my AT & T Tilt, which operates under Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, I can very well browse the web, use applications that require the transmission of data, connect to a wireless network in the region and can synchronize with my PC Vista very well... but try to use Windows Update to the operating system is up to date always fails each time with the same error code, no matter what I try to do.

    I saw something on the fixing of the same code error on Windows 7, but I don't think that it applies as Mobile 6.1 does not have a "Drivers" folder in the Windows system folder.  Solution Windows 7 involved by changing the "Hosts" file, but I can't seem to find where such a file may be under Mobile 6.1, or if Windows Mobile uses even a Hosts file at all.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Or am I pretty much just stuck, until I can afford to get one of the new 6.5 ridiculously expensive smartphones?
