• Windows Vista SP2 error: 8000ffff

  Hello!

  I recently uninstalled SP2 on my x 64 Vista (Home Premium) machine. However, Sidebar and IE no longer works, so I tried to reinstall SP2 through Windows Update. It downloaded and installed, but then threw me an error: 8000ffff. Then I tried to download the standalone installer from the Microsoft Web site. He gave me the same error. I tried to launch the Microsoft Support fix - it, but he did nothing. (I restart the computer). I tried to run the installer again, same results. I tried the instruction manual and fiddled with the registry, but no conflicting values were present. Help, please! I need SP2 back!

  Thank you!

• Error 8000FFFF when installing KB929777.

  Since may, 2013 my computer tried to install, but cannot install Windows Update KB929777.   It does not seek on a daily basis.  As he did this, no other updates were found when I check the updates.  I get an Error 8000FFFF to come.

  I have a Dell Inspiron (don't remember model number) 32-bit.  I have Vista Home Premium on it.

  Before May of this year, I had 5 updates would not install, then the computer goes into a local repair shop.  Some more memory was added and the chap tried to install Windows 7 (or 8?) computer would not take, so Vista was reinstalled.   It sounds stupid, but I don't I remember most how much memory has been added.   MB of RAM (RAM) 3317 system information.

  I tried everything to get KB929777 to install, using a download directly from Microsoft and the Fix - It program, but no joy.

  Please any suggestions would be great.  I'm not too technical when it comes to computers, so please use language simple if poss.   I have no idea of how to re factory - set up my computer, but all important data is backed up on an external hard drive.

  Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

• Error 8000FFFF when you try to install the update

  I tried both options. First, I used Mr. Fix It and the response was that iupdate has been installed, the next day, I realized that is not true to fact. When I started the update of Windows Vista again, I got the same error 8000FFFF. This means that I n 't have the same update again. I tried the other option for the Proz tech and I did not succeed.

  What this means for me, Mr. Fix It Pro can not solve this problem, and as I am not a tech Pro, I can't fix either. What is the solution for this problem?

  Respectfully,.

• Inefficient Windows Vista Update - Error 8000FFFF - solutions

  I recently reformatted my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1520 Windows Vista 32 bit and was trying to reinstall all my drivers and my os back to date; I was hoping to install sp1 and 2 that day. However, after several rounds of updates without any hitches, I met update KB29777, who introduces himself as important and seems inherent in the system in order to install the sp1, and at the same time, sp2. I can't solve the problem with Error 8000FFFF

  That's why my machine's own almost all of the errors with a new os and reformatted hd.

  I tried all the solutions proposed for me and more found on these forums including;

  Fix It utility, followed by restart;

  manually remove the 3 potentially corrupt registry values (which were not there because there is a new os);

  and even download the update manually from the Download Center microsoft and tries to install (which says that it has been a success, but obviously wasn't)

  Anyone wants to shed light on the issue?
