  • Get the error Code 'WindowsUpdate_8E5E03FB' 'WindowsUpdates_dt000' when you try to download recommended update using the automatic settings 'updates '.

    I just noticed today, pronouncing the 'permission' to Windows to download and install, it is recommended to update it tries to download the update, hit 11% downloaded and then shows the dialog window "update failed", asking me to "Try Again", etc. etc. I googled the error exactly as stated above, and it takes to me an article 'A' answer the Question which recommends a bunch of steps that I have not the first clue of what they mean, or what they will do. I used the option "Microsoft Fix It" after a search, in an attempt to reset the Windows Update settings, but I don't know if it's working or not, although clearly it did nothing to help in the installation of this download. By examining the log of the updates installed, I am able to receive and install other updates, however, it is with a update I see several attempts in the last days to install, and each of them ended in failure.

    When we look at the site of Question answer, other than to check to ensure the update is, indeed, the Automatic value, that it is in accordance with the instructions given that's where I get lost. The following suggestion is something to do with the "C:\windows\system32\catroot" folder, I've never even heard of, and am more than a little reluctant to go messing around with this stuff. Can any that illuminate what he done, or point me in a direction to a response that is written in 'English' for those of us without much experience of computer programming? Live is support available for all what is the cause? Any suggestions much appreciated!

    See you soon!

  • Get the 8004FF84 error when you try to download and install an upgrade for Windows

    I can't download and install an upgrade for windows. Try to install the product error code 8004FF84.

    Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

    Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to how to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware on the Microsoft Web site.

    Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

    If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

    This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

    Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

    Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

    If the computer still stops responding during Setup, contact your manufacturer computer or your retailer.

  • I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

    If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-
