• Failed to update Windows XP SP3: error 127

  Recently, a friends PC has been visited by a technology professional and, since then, then the Windows Update has been disabled.

  The service proved not be is not running. You try to start the service using
  net start wuauserv
  Translated by error 127: the specified procedure could not be found

  Go to control panel-> system control > automatic update has the option there not selectable (disabled).

  I have only checked for malware using the tool provided by Microsoft as a possible solution, no threats were found.

  In addition to the above, I did the following:

  1. Re-installed SP3 - no effect
  2. I tried Microsoft FixIt: said problem detected: However, it does not fix it. It says Windows Update directory is different from the default
  3. Tried all the suggestion as indicate in How to reset the Windows Update components?. Steps 6 fully working mode without fail only. End result was without effect
  4. Install the latest Windows Update Agent has generated an error.
  5. "Chat" used Customer Support service. Was directed to call the technical assistance.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Concerning

  J

  Sorry for the explanation of front light, slammed other work...  I finished by comparing the service wuauserv with an unaffected system registry keys and replacing the values and remove the extra keys that should not exist.  I did not keep track of all the destruction, sorry.  the main keys are found at HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv

  and the subkeys

  I will try to upload a picture or a link to a picture of what these key should look like for most of the systems later.  (use at your own risk because each system may be slightly different)

  just be careful to change your registry database - make backups of critical files.

  before I did I also deleted and restored all files that begin with "wu" in the windows\system32 folder from another computer.  (Windows should automatically restore all files, but does not restore the wups2.dll file in my case)  (maybe to stop the BITS service before you can delete the files.)

  and after the reinstatement of wups2, everything worked normally.

  Looks like some maleware attack those keys / files

  the registry keys I've seen actually called maleware the wuauserv service files.  so when I cleaned the computer he deleted these files and thus broke the wuauserv service, until I put the service back to normal.

  Cannot update Windows XP Pro after the reinstallation of the Message, the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The error number is 0x8024400A.

  Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

• Windows XP SP3 with IE8 installed/uninstalled several times

  original title: Windows XP SP3 with IE8 installed.

  During the last week, I had 3 systems of Windows XP with SP3 & IE8 installed for service & and/or repairs. Update of Microsoft in the last week has been remove IE8 only to install IE8 again. Anyone can shed some light on why?

  (1) all XP operating systems are 32-bit.

  (2) IE8 was downloaded Microsoft as an installation for XP 32 bit offline.

  (3) IE8 has been properly installed on all occasions.

  (4) Microsoft update removes installed IE8 then causes other updates to fail, restart the PC and then to reinstall IE8.

  (5) frustrating - so I do not install IE8 at this stage - allow update of Microsoft to provide the service.

• Windows XP SP3 will not install and repeatedly keep trying with Windows Update

  I've had two months of problems with Windows 7 and had to build a Windows XP machine. I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on the clean machine and tried to install SP3 I had downloaded and put it on a CD. Installation backed up the existing files and install the new files. The installer said he was changing the registry. After that the installer said that there was an error, a file is not found. Then uninstalled and restored the old files. Keeps Windows Update downloaded a stream of updates (as you would expect with a clean install), but at the end of installation of the batch that is being updated is in SP3 update running. Whenever the SP3 update is executed, it gets to the same point, fails because it cannot find a file and UN-installs itself again. The indices of anyone? It's a real Microsoft Windows XP Pro out of the box, not an OEM.

  Hi guenoun,.

  The message I received installation of SP3 was "System cannot find the file requested" with no error code. As I was installing a SP3 at the start of a CDROM created from the uploaded image of CDROM I thought it was unlikely that the CDROM was corrupt or missing files. So, I went in Mode safe mode and use the account administrator. SP3 installed then OK (it took more time than installing Windows XP). I then checked the updates, and although Windows Update has been updated about 10 new updates flooded down. So problem solved. It must have been one of these security issues where be a user with administrative privalges was not enough.

  Kind regards

• Update Windows XP SP3 on a Dual Boot System w/Vista

  Hello, I have a partition of windows xp and windows vista in my laptop Acer. (Pre-installed Vista and XP as a secondary operating system).
  My questions are:

  > Is it OK to upgrade Windows XP SP2 to SP3 of Windows even, it is placed in a dual boot?
  > Don't install SP3 will be erase all content of Windows XP?
  > Is affected the partition of Windows Vista if I download Windows XP SP3 of XP SP2 Partition?
  > If I download the SP3 for Windows XP in the Microsoft.com site, it needs to be bootable and recorded in a CD or just run the installer from the hard disk automatically after installation?

  Thanks to all in advance!

  You're off topic of the Forum, you have published, which is dedicated to the beta Version of Microsoft Security Esentials

  However, I moved the yoru post.

  You can update to SP3 on a system XPSP2 dual boot Vista residence. You can not install XP * after * Vista for a Dual Boot system unless you use a 3rd Boot Manager part.
  Run the update to SP3 does not erase anything, it updates the XP system components.
  There will be no impact to your Vista installation on your system to dual-boot PC.
  SP3 is an update. It downloads an installation program analyzes your installation of XP and downloads the bits necessary to update to SP3 then install them after you have saved the files it will replace. You should be able to get SP3 easily by going to Windows Update in XP.

  This should eliminate a known problem that manifested by blocking windows update to do research without end and CPU at 100%, what is happening unless the most recent monthly cumulative IE security update is already manually downloaded and installed.  Second Tuesday of each month, this will be a ritual to perform or windows update crashes.  This is caused by a problem with the site Web of windows update is not a problem with your computer. Microsoft is committed to solve the problem which has continued for months.  Promises, promises.  The genesis of the issue took place in the summer 2013 and has been reported in this community after the updates of August, when it was reported that the last cumulative update of security for September KB2870699 be downloaded and installed manually set the CPU of fortification to Windows Update.  The linked thread shows this being reported in September and a month the well-known universal question went from bad to worse, with the installation of the updated cumulative security for IE being the fix manually.  The problem has been compounded by a bad Microsoft Fix it tool that was linked by Microsoft as the fix for Windows Update problems, but the difficulty bad it tool would then instantly to corrupt the registry of a computer of the user and cause an additional problem that would make the BITS and the two stop work, worsening the problem instead of fix windows update problem.  971058 is the famous set and there are other iterations that have the same bad code and cause the corruption of the same register.

  Select the download that is necessary for your version of Internet Explorer and download and install it and restart your computer before you visit Windows Update to get other updates which will then become accessible, after the prior cumulative IE security update is downloaded and installed MANUALLY and the computer is RESTARTED.

  The steps above should solve the more obvious and certain to problem. However, there are two other known problems that may also arise and are common questions of interest as the extra aggravation.  The first issue is certain and the other 2 issues can also either or both be also present in the form of a complication.

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.
