Error 80070426 - cannot get updates of Windows... Can you help me?

Error message recently started even though my computer says the last update was on 24/03/11.  It is set for automatic updates every night.  Time to reset tried but that did not help.  Tried rebooting, not helped.  It came from Dell with Windows Vista already installed... bought nine.  My basic system information:

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit Norton security suite Edition
Last updated: 24/03/11 KB2524375

Icon showed up the other day in the toolbar for updates... says Windows windows cannot check new updates. I tried to update manually, no luck.  When I click 'try again', I get finally 800070426 error code.  No idea what started and didn't find all the answers on how to fix what I can understand from a distance.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

  • Error code: 80070426 - (cannot install updates)

    I just got an error yesterday, on 9 November, that windows could not download automatic updates so I clicked on the Update icon in my system tray and tried to run the updates manually.  I got the Error 80070426 and with repeated tests there I cannot get updates.  According to the automatic updates, I have not received new updates since October 10.

    I also checked my security settings and noticed that my Windows Defender has been exceeded.  If I try to update Windows Defender, I also have an error saying that it cannot be updated with the error code 0x80070426.

    I looked at the code Error 80070426 on knowledge base and followed the steps here to try to fix.  Disk cleanup has no effect.  Whenever I try to validate my copy of windows, it says:

    This copy of Windows has failed the genuine validation.

    An unauthorized change was made to your Windows license or software installed on this computer is not currently compatible with Windows Vista.

    I tried to run as administrator command prompt and get an error for this as well.  It is said: The Software Licensing service could not be started.  A system error has occurred.  2 system error has occurred.  The system cannot find the specified file.

    This computer was originally shipped with XP, but earlier this year, I installed Vista with a copy bought in the store after I had problems with my operating system and could not run the XP restore disks sent to me by HP or those that I did after that I bought this computer.  When I first installed Vista the computer has a large.  However, after about 2 months, I started to have the blue screen of death, and my computer shuts off and restarts automatically when the blue screen comes up.  I was never able to locate files error on my computer so I do not see what is causing the blue screen and the screen is not upward on my computer... maybe it's here for a second before a restart of my computer.  I don't know what is causing my computer to act like that.  I ran all kinds of virus scans, ad-aware scans, keylogger scans, etc., and nothing ever comes I have a Trojan horse or any kind of virus.  Either something is seriously steeped in this machine that I was unable to find or my system some how became unstable at any given time.

    You can give me any help would be greatly appreciated because at this point, except to buy a new computer or do a complete OS reinstall again once I'm all options or ideas.

    1. contact the Iolo Support [1] and ask how you can "undo" the changes by using the component "Registry cleaner" System Mechanic.

    2. after "undo" these changes, open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [2]

    3. restart & test.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] I hope you are fluent Mandarin: Iolo is a people's Republic of CHINA (mainland China).

    [2] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or installed updates.

    This give a try.

    Start button > select RUN > type of services. MSC

    The following services are required by the Windows Update process.

    In the services (services.msc) management console may NOT be * Disabled * in the startup type.

    They show a manual or automatic startup type.
