How can I fix the Windows Update Ox80072EE2 error code?

original title: How can I fix error code Ox80072EE2?

Get the Ox80072EE2 error. Chose the express download then Windows Update checked for the latest updates, but the update did not follow and gave the error code Ox80072EE2. Tried several times. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3. Downloaded FixIt, but did not fix. Last successful update was 12/14/11. How can I fix this error code? Thanks a bunch for all help!

If Windows Update error 80072ee2 during updates, you may need to add the addresses of websites which Windows Update downloads updates to the exceptions to your firewall or 'green list '.

To add the Windows Update Web sites to a firewall exceptions list

  • Windows Firewall ships with this version of Windows and should already include these sites in the exceptions list. If you are using another firewall, see Help for the software publisher to see how to add these websites to your firewall exceptions list:

  • How can I fix the windows 7601 build bug not authentic?

    Like many people, I seem to have contracted the problem to build 7601. My copy of Windows 7 seems to think that it is not authentic.

    How can I fix it?

    I have absolutely no reason to believe that my copy of Win7 is not genuine. He is come pre-installed on a Compaq Presario that I bought in TESCO for several years and until a month ago, never threw to the top of the screen "not true." The Unit came with the sticker on top which included the series product key.

    I have read other discussions on this topic and they all seem to contradict each other and also seem to be quite old. They mention an update uninstall then advise against it. A related to a patch from Microsoft that no longer exists.

    I found online a tutorial that showed me how to operate the SLMGR-REARM in the DOS window. It worked for the first three times that my copy flaked out but of course, then stopped.
    I then discovered a tutorial that showed me how to reset the key "reg" to allow the RESET to work again. It worked only once. Since then, I was unable to fix it. In any case, it is all to treat the symptom, not the cause.

    When I finally got the license to operate properly, I checked for Windows updates, but my Windows updater told me that there is no available update and that my Win7 was completely up to date.

    Of course, I can't check the updates now that Win7 thinks that it is not authentic.

    I recently did a hot-swap to my HD of the Compaq Presario mentioned previously in a new machine. I used the method prescribed essentially disconnect all my drivers and put Windows in some sort of fashion 'sleep' before the Exchange. I forgot what it's called but it's a feature of Windows designed to minimize problems when hot-swapping. 7601 the problem seems to start a month or two after that, and I wonder if this is the cause.

    I had a number of profiles corrupted demanding a restoration of the profile in the registry as well, but they date to before the hotswap and return at the beginning of the year. I suspect bad sectors on the disk and wonder if it is maybe the cause also.

    While 7601 is does not interfere with my day-to-day work day on the machine (other than the annoying popups to warning), I want to fix because it is just gauling, knowing that it's really a genuine copy of Windows 7.

    I will continue to trawl through the other posts to build 7601, but if there is a solution to current day, I would be grateful to hear it.

    Wayne

    Well, after reading a load of complex technical solutions, install this, delete, change, etc. Someone suggested I just go in the key product Activation and it worked. Don't know for how long but I'll scan for bad sectors on the disk hard where the information is to be corrupt.

  • How can I activate the Windows Update Service?

    I had to restore my kids PC. Windows Update gives me a message that it is not running and I need to restart the PC. I've done several times, and Windows update still does not work. I passed through TaskManager, Services and found Windows Update and tried rebooting from here. It still does not. How can I get the update of Windows running service?

    Hello

    (a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.

    (b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.

    (c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\

    (d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.

  • How can I fix the "Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.'

    all of a sudden my computer goes from fine to a "Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt."

    and I don't have any idea how to resolve this its driving me crazy.

    I downloaded the iso file for vista, the restore disc but it not start when I restart my computer. what im supposed to do or am I missing something?

    You need to change the boot sequence:

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    It's my daughrter phone and she really pimp out with apps and wallpaper custmized she hates losing to return to factory settings.

    Any clue to find and install the software of system setting without wiping the phone?

    I think you should post this in the original Droid forum.

    See, we Droid X users have not the idea while on Froyo (2.2).

    I wish that Google would buy Motorola and start a restructuring of the company.

    On a side note: is not parental advice, just general. But be careful with random apps and especially screen download. "Pimp out with the software" gives the impression of "potential spyware in the world". Google concluded that the wallpapers who sent personal information to 3rd party servers were "safe". I hope that their guidelines are stricter that mine would be, if all goes well.
