    When I start my computer I get a message at the bottom right, saying "Windows cannot check for updates. When I go to Windows Update and click on "check for updates" I get error Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.   I read some of the threads here, but I can't have things work as they should be.  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    One of the reasons for the error 80070005 is caused by software running on your computer security.

    Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus 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 antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Windows Vista, windows update error Code 80072F8F

    I get the error code 80072f8f. I searched the forums of discussion for something that will help, but nothing helped. I also lost the ability to use the system restore. I checked my timestamp in windows and it shows the date and time correctly. I even went into my bios to make sure that my system time was correct. Both are. I went to this Web page http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/10acefdc-297f-4d14-9f5c-5a90250a8b8c and followed the instructions but had no luck either.

    I don't know if system restore is a symptom of the same problem or one of its own. I ran into this problem when I tried to install a netgear 311t wireless network card. I have since deleted from the card and uninstalled the software, I don't know if the map was part of the question, but I noticed when I tried windows update in order to get a driver for the card. I am running Windows vista Home premium 32-bit on a Pentium D 3.00 ghz with 3.5 g of ram. Any help would be great. Thank you.

    I was afraid you might say that!

    OPTION 1: Contact the Symantec Support.

    OPTION 2: Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    Tip: After completing the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually before connecting any player external to the computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton removal tool (new) before installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (e.g., SAV, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/threads

    Quote your full version of Windows (for example, Vista SP1;) Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  • Windows 7 - error Code: 80072F8F

    I have the Windows 7, 64-bit machine and get error code 80072f8f for about a month now.  I tried the fixes recommended in aid and in other places without result.  I run Eset for my firewall and antivirus/spyware detection system.  The PC was purchased new with Windows 7 Premium home edition on it and so far in early August of this year, updates worked well.  I would appreciate any other suggestions, that someone might have.  Thank you, jdmtkr

    The machine was purchased with ESET on it and update worked well until August when it stopped working.  I returned to advanced on ESET settings and off the SSL filtering that solved the problem.  Once I stopped to have ESET filter SSL, Windows update immediately started working.  I got the set program to request exclusions for various SSL filtering problems and I think one of my kids has a message in August when they used the PC and instead click on Yes to accept, they clicked on exclude who killed the ability for Windows Update launch.  Why there was a clock error is unknown, but the machine is now updated again.
