error code: 8007007e/0x8007007e

well, almost every time that I get on my computer, a bubble appears saying "windows cannot check the updates. Click here to see the problem. "or something to that effect. so when I click it, it says:

an error occurred when checking

new updates for your

computer.

error (s) found:

code 8007007e. Windows Update has encountered an unknown error.

every time I try to get hep with it via windows update, it says that no results were found, & if I try to download something to fix, another variation of the error occurs: 0x8007007e.

When I search the help on the web I see things for windows XP, I use Vista Home Basic. If anyone can help me with this error, please respond! I'm desperate!

Thank you!

dananicolee,
It is possible that the problem is caused by a virus\malware infection as suggested by C.M.Pant.  What anti-virus\firewall program do you use?
Your system has already been able to run updates?  If so what it stops and nothing changed before the show?
How Vista has been installed on your PC (update of XP, installed by the OEM, clean install)?

Try the following and return to view the results.
Perform a clean boot , and then run Windows Update.
Run these tools and then run Windows Update.  Be sure to record the results of each tool.

    You use AVG, McAfee, MSE or Norton antimalware?  If so, Windows Defender must be disabled on the Vista or Win 7 operating system and should be uninstalled on a Win XP OS.  If you try to activate Windows Defender and it has been disabled by one of these programs, this is what is causing your error code.

  • I can't windows media udate player. I get the 0x8007007e error code when executing the validation program.

    I bought this computer new with XP about 5 years ago with no update problems in the past.

    What are the causes of error 0x8007007E ?

    When you use the Windows Update site, you can find that the service is unable to update your computer and returns a "General error":

    0x800a138f

    However, the REAL error code we need is in the Windows Update log.

    The windows update log is in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\Windows Update.log (Win XP only)

    Just copy and paste the above in Windows Explorer and the
    file will open automatically in Notepad on your computer utility.

    Most recent journal entries will be at the bottom. Search for entries of update failed and you will see an error next to him.

    Use the following tips to try to fix the 0x80072EE2 error... After each test point to determine if the problem is resolved.

    The most likely entry that you will see is:

    Error IUENGINE Determining computer configuration (error 0x8007007E: the specified module could not be found.)

    This article explains how to fix the 0x8007007E error code...

    What is the problem of 0x8007007E?

    I don't want to get too technical, but here are the main reasons for this error code is generated:

    (a) there are a number of security and bug issues in Microsoft XML (MSXML) version 3.0 - SP3 Analyzer.

    (b) the 0x8007007E error can also be caused by missing or corrupted dynamic link library (.) DLL files) - CABINET. DLL and URLMON. DLL.

    Here's how to try to solve the problem of 0x8007007E:

    (Step 1) - Windows XP only...

    There are a lot of applications provided with MSXML 3.0. Uninstalling one of these applications on a Windows XP system could potentially remove the MSXML 3.0 assembly files (msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll).
    We shouldn't have to register only a single file...

    To do this:

    Click on Start menu and then click the icon for the race.
    In the small box that opens, type the three letters: cmd, and then click the OK button.
    In the command prompt window that has just opened (a black background and white text), type the following commands, pressing the ENTER key on your keyboard subsequently:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Now, type in the word: output and the window will close.
    Now restart and try and Microsoft Windows Update again...

    If it fails with the error 0x8007007E once again try step 2

    (Step 2) - Windows XP only...

    Now lets you update your system with the latest Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) version 3.0 SP4

    Download here (use the msxml3usa.msi for the English version.)

    Notes...

    (a) you have to reinstall MSXML 3.0 Service Pack 4 If you upgraded to Windows XP to a computer running one of the operating systems following:

    -Windows 98

    -Windows ME

    -Windows NT 4.0

    (b) Windows 2003 Server
    comes with version 3.0 - SP4 and if you do not need to install it.

    (c) occasionally, Setup may need to restart the computer, but fails to inform the user. So restart your machine just in case. Then try Windows Update again.

    (d) to install a localized version (for example English) MSXML 3.0 SP4 on a system different from the previously installed/local (for example the French) version of MSXML 3.0 SP4, follow these steps:

    Cancel the existing record of the installation package by running the following command in a command prompt window:

    msiexec /x {45534579-B75B-4A42-953B-2EF8E1DEB4F3} /qn

    Now, install the new language version of MSXML 3.0 SP4.

    If it fails with the error 0x8007007E once again try step 3

    (Step 3) - Windows XP only...

    Search for missing/corrupted system files...

    Windows XP comes with a wonderful tool called System File Checker (SFC) it scans and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer... However, it can sometimes miss a problem, so we can run the tool now to replace the CABINET. DLL and URLMON. DLL, if there is a problem with them:

    To do this:

    Click on Start menu and then click the icon for the race. In the small box that opens, type the three letters: cmd, and then click the OK button. In the command prompt window that has just opened (a black background and white text), type the following command:

    SFC/scannow

    then click OK

    You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run SFC.

    You will need your Windows XP CD during this procedure if SFC needs to get an original file. Remember that Windows XP can have multiple instances of a. DLL to the folder and don't forget what version to which program.

    Notes...

    I was asked if it is possible to have a show of "progress meter" during the execution of SFC... It's the registry hack you need. Please do not go play with your registry if you don't know what you do!

    The system key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

    Value name: SFCShowProgress

    Data type: REG_DWORD (DWORD value)

    Value data: (0 = disabled, 1 = on)

    IMPORTANT: This article will cure the problem 0x8007007E for many of you. However if it does NOT then I would like to here from you. Alternatively, have you tried something else that worked? Then send me the fix too!

    You can also find these useful error codes - for future reference, especially trying to understand error messages in the Windows Update log! (They are given here as a guide for general problems and further research on your part to solve the particular problem you may have.

    I can't enter my Messenger if I try to sign in it tells me that the service is unavailable and to try later?. But if I use another pc, I can sign to ok.
    An error code is displayed with the message 8007007e?. Can anyone help please.

    Here is a link to an article on this particular problem (this particular error code).  Read through all of this before you try anything - several solutions are proposed (although I can't guarantee to one of them - but they seem to have worked for some people). http://www.vistax64.com/live-messenger/233554-live-messenger-i-cant-sign-anymore-8007007e-post1105660.html.

    One solution is to use the sfc command. Here are the better instructions that they provide:

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

    Type sfc/scannow, and then enter. Let the program run - it check out some of your system files and fix them.  If all goes well it will be completed without error, he couldn't fix it (if it doesn't, check the log which can be interpreted using the following guidelines: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).
