Getting the error: the requested lookup key was not found in any active account activation context

I can't run windows update. I get this error: the required search key not found in any active account activation context.

I use XP.

You are at least 6 months behind on updates to security critical. (Arrived Tuesday, 08 February, you'll be 7 months behind.)

Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet (or any what local networks) in its current state. All your personal data (including passwords online banking & credit) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

See...

Cleaning a compromised system
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order!) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

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/xprepair/threads

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  • The error is "The request that URL was not found on this server." (- 1100)

    Hi guys!

    Perhaps you have faced with the following question: the error is "the query URL is not found on this server." (- 1100) trying to get a glimpse of the PDF on the Home Viewer.

    I've successfully added of links to pdf files, downloaded HTMLResources.zip a month ago. Now, I need to create a test for the same folio version and links don't work at all - I get this error message - the error is "The request that URL was not found on this server." (- 1100).

    What this may be connected with? I has not changed anything in the article work files or...

    Hello

    I solved this problem in the following way:

    1. put that you a folder of zip upwards. Average if the current position of your zip is... / sources/test - put the zip... /sources.

    2. then import HTMLResources once more.

    Note: zip should not contain a folder with the same name.

  • vmrun - error: the specified service provider was not found.

    Hello

    I installed vmware server 2 on Gentoo 2008.0.

    Installed versions:

    VMware-server 2.0.1.156745 - r3

    VMware-modules 1.0.0.24

    VMware vix 1.6.2.156745 - r2

    Everything works fine from a remote machine, but if I want to start a virtual machine in the console via vmrun, I get this error message:

    Error: The specified service provider was not found

    Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

    The problems seem to stem from the fact that you don't have the "vix.libdir" parameter in your global configuration file. Usually, it is located in/etc/vmware/config by the presence of a line like:

    vix.libdir = "/opt/vmware/vix/lib"
    

    If you add to that, vmrun needs to start working.

  • The required search key not found in any active launch context__

    First, I'll tell you straight as at the outset, I'm mostly a PC user and don't get involved in regedits and HKEY stuff.  I hope that this can be resolved fairly easy.

    I installed Windows XP Professional w/SP3 and now only has access to 4-bit color so everything is huge.  IE is on V6 and when I try to download v8 I get the same error after knocking entered by download.  The required search key not found in any active activation context

    Also, in Control Panel, add/remove programs, Windows Internet is not an option to remove.  And if I can't go to any other Web site, unless it is set as my homepage, how do I install anything at all?

    Any contribution is appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello
    I have a HP laptop Compaq Presario R3000 running XP sp2.
    While trying to install software for my new HP laserjet printer 451color, I couldn't finish because my computer seems to have a problem with the file gdiplus.dll.  After a regsvr32 in the "Run" dialog box, I get the following message: "gdiplus.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.  This file cannot be saved. " This problem MAY occur in the past, while the installation of other software or printer, I don't remember, but I CAN get frustrated with it and simply ignored and passed without being able to use everything I tried to add. (I get so tired things does not in the way they are supposed to!)

    I've updated to SP3, which did not help.  I am considering a system recovery. I don't want to lose all my programs, drivers, etc.. I did a search and read as a:
    «Startup Repair replace only damaged or missing Windows startup files.» In a Windows XP repair install, Windows all files are replaced no matter whether or not they wish to. Note: If you use a disk to restore your computer manufacturer instead of an installation disc of original Windows download, a Startup Repair or repair install as stated in the above linked guides would not be possible. »
    I don't want to click on the wrong thing and screw this place! Can anyone tell me if these a repair overwrite of the windows file system is an option with the operating system microsoft windows xp home sp1 disk?
    Is there a better way to solve this problem?

  • What should I do when after Lightrom 6 worked OK and I was rocking it draws to develop, all of a sudden I have started getting the message "folder or file not found?

    I downloaded photos successfully in Lightroom 6 and were able to develop and even export but suddenly in the process of development or export, Lightroom gives the message "File not found" and "file cannot be found. These pictures are already in Lightroom, how can't he not know where they are? And is it a problem with Lightroom, my computer, or what I did? And what should I do to correct this?

    Photos are never stored in Lightroom. They are stored on your hard drive somewhere, instead you put them, or to the place where you education Lightroom to put them.

    Lightroom is a database. When you import a pohtos, a record is created in the database for each photo, which contains the file name and the location of each photo. When the photo is no longer in the location Lightroom is looking (because somehow the file or folder has been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom), Lightroom indicates that it does not find the photo (or the photo is missing).

    Therefore, find the photo using your operating system. Once you have found the photo, you must tell Lightroom where the photo is, and what's his name. The exact tools used in this step are described here indetail: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing
