    Unfortunately, I tried to use these sites but the firewall on my Vista family premium will only allow the programs well and NOT websites.  I have 4 important updates that need to download so I can install them.  I get this error message all the time and sometimes they get in through slowly but then they cannot install and the firewall prevents them.  What to do?

  • Update error Code 8024200B & unable to update Wireless Keyboard 800 - keyboard does not work

    I have win7 pro 32-bit. Some updates fail.
    Currently updates for keyboard and mouse USB MS they return the error Code 8024200 B, for which I am unable to find an explanation.
    It is a problem that I bought a Wireless Desktop 800, and the keyboard does not work.
    I tested the material on my Win7 32 bit system and it works fine.
    The device is detected and enabled, etc. of thin batteries
    There is no drivers for 800 system, so I was hoping that the update would solve the problem, if I could install it.
    Any ideas on the error code, or how to solve the problem of keyboard?
    Thank you
    * Problem solved. These updates succeeded at the 5th attempt - and I was able to install 'Microsoft mouse & keyboard Centre' that got my keyboard working *.
    * I'll leave the rest of my response below in case it would be useful to all. **

    Thanks for the reply Fazil.

    1. There is no way to 'connect' from the keyboard to the computer. I insert the usb bluetooth dongle and it works for the mouse but not the keyboard.
    2. the updates are the two option, without numbers KB:
    -Other hardware - Microsoft Hardware Microsoft USB keyboard
    Mouse Microsoft USB - other hardware - Microsoft Hardware
    3 update error message for both simply put the Code 8024200 B. There seems to be no documentation for this error code.
    All security updates I ran & updated ok.
    I tried various things - stop programs anti-virus etc.
    4. This is the first time I tried to run the mouse wireless 800 & keyboard on this PC. I checked on my other laptop running exactly the same OS and that's fine, this isn't a hardware problem.
    I tried fixit, who found nothing wrong.
    In Device Manager, it shows the two devices (keyboard and mouse) twice, as on the other laptop.
    Bluetooth > open settings Options are set to "enabled" and in the material it shows "HP Integrated Bluetooth Module" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.

  • Error code: 80072EFD, impossible to find the solution to make windows update work

    OK, so I just recently returned from the school where Windows Update worked perfectly.  When I got home he stopped work at all, give me the error code: 80072EFD. (I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit)  I tried everything on the support page and nothing works.  It might be my router somehow or something else?

    WestCoastGirl,
    I suggest that you go get the Norton removal tool and run do so that there is no trace of it remaining.  It seems that you might have an infection already.  Take a look at this thread because it has some great info on virus\malware: get rid of malware
