Error 8024402F. Has been through countless sons and STILL no solution?

Im not as computer but I most have followed most if not all of the instructions in the most popular nets about the error 8024402F and yet there is still no solution. Its only been 3 days I noticed the pop-up windows could not update and also noticed that the last successful update was about 2 months ago. I have windows vista Home premium... Why is there a solution to this? IM so frustrated (and its been only 3 days) that I plan to take in to the computer repair shop. Ive has run malware, spyware, fixit several times and nothing. (Or as little as possible) all the terms technical clutter a 'response' is possible to get a solution that I can understand? This can be corrected?

It can also mean that a program running on your computer is preventing Windows Update Services to Internet access. Programs that might do this include firewalls, antispyware software, web accelerators, Internet security or firewall programs, or proxy servers.
 
That's why I suggest you go ahead and follow the steps in this link to solve this problem.
 
You may encounter temporary connection related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

Important note: firewall software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your firewall software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your firewall software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
It will be useful.

  • 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The error is event 6008.

    I have an ACER aspire x 3200 64 bit sytem with vista home premium which has been randomly locking up and freezing. The only mistakes were event 6008 with a description of the stop system prior to (time) on (date) was not planned.
    When these errors originally occurred, I returned the system to acer and they installed a new hard drive. After updating the vista system blockages continue 30 times over a period of 3 months. Acer sent me a new disk image on 3 disks that I have installed and updated on 11 October. There is no blocking until the 10/27, 10/28, and for the 3rd time today.
    The closed unexpected gives a blue screen if I use the locking system to the top. I have to hold the power to restart when the system crashes.
    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  But I guess it's too late for this for so long that there are probably no so old restore points.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer on the stop (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.  From what I understand, there is none of the events (which surprises me because a freeze should certainly generate an error event).

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work (but you NEED a disc).  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Save the attachment script gives error "Mail has been a mistake: AppleEvent Manager has failed. ' number - 10000

    Hi all

    I'm completely ignorant when it comes to Apple Script and I'm trying to get this simple script to work. The purpose of the script is to save attachments in a folder named when I run on the Apple Mail messages via a rule.

    This is the code:

    Tell application "Mail".

    theMessages set of selection

    Repeat with thisMessage in theMessages

    the value of the theAttachments attached to a letter of thisMessage

    Repeat with thisAttachment in theAttachments

    the value theAttachmentFileName ((chemin d'accès àle texte riche de la règle de type dossier de départ) & ' treatment of the Documents record: Hazel ") & name of the thisAttachment

    Save thisAttachment in file theAttachmentFileName

    end repeat

    end repeat

    tell the end


    The folder does not exist, but I get a "error " Mail has been a mistake: AppleEvent Manager has failed. ' number - 10000 "when I run.

    The code in the Script Editor editor also inserts "type of rule" in my code, so I guess that my syntax is faulty.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Beem

    If ' folder of treatment of Hazel ' already exists in the Documents folder, the following script of GUI, which seems to work perfectly under OS X 10.11.3, should do what you ask for:

    Try

    game of theDestinationFolder to ((path to the documents folder) as text) & "Hazel treatment record" as alias

    on error - file does not exist

    return Beep 3

    end try

    say application "Mail".

    activate

    the value theMessages to the selection

    Repeat with thisMessage in theMessages

    thisMessage Open

    say application 'System events' to say process "Mail".

    click on menu item "Save attachments...". " of 1 of the 'file' menu bar item menu of the menu bar 1

    Repeat until sheet 1 window 1 is

    end Repeat

    key sequence "o" using { control down,shift down}

    key sequence "Nutty".

    click on button 'Save' of the sheet 1 of window 1

    Repeat while sheet 1 window 1 is

    end Repeat

    key sequence 'w', using {control down} - close this message

    end say

    end Repeat

    end say

  • The Parental account for my child's account has been disabled for inactivity and to accept the new terms of use for the xbox update must be parental confirmation.

    The Parental account for my child's account has been disabled for inactivity and to accept the new terms of use for the xbox update must be parental confirmation. I can't do this because even when you type the parental email address in the password recovery, it does not recognize because because it is inactive. I need a Windows Live technician to reactivate the account and I don't know if I should put the email address of the account here for security reasons. My other question is also if you can't reactivate can you switch parental permissions to another account.

  • my account has been hacked several times and sends mail spam to the people on my list

    my account has been hacked several times and is to send spam to people on my list. I changed my password several times and it continues to happen. I took everyone off my email list with the exception of an e-mail address that I created to alertme in the case of this kind of thing happens, it works. I pay for this msn messaging service and I'm upset that anyone can hack my email so easily. I want that stopped.

    It is up to you to use Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to remove any malware. The hot spare is a bootable Linux distribution that will search for and remove malicious software that can hide when the HD is active.
    Booting from the rescue disk will ensure the HD is not Active -Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10

    Once the system is cleaned up, contact MSN and ask another reset of password.

    You must save your stuff important on an external and reinstall your entire system since the manufacturer's recovery partition. You can find instructions for this on the site of manufacturer support.

    If you have no recovery partition, follow...

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Immediately after having re-installed, the next task is to make all Windows, including SP1 updates if your floppy drive or the partition recovery date before the service pack.

    Then install your antivirus solution. Avoid using McAfee or Norton. It is a good solution, free and easy to use...

    OK so far?

    Then, change the passwords for all programs that interact with the Internet... This includes Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype etc.
