  • Receive error code 80070026 when you use Windows Update. No bugs found on Internet research work.

    I have a question that my computer is in danger. MS Fix - It was no help. I use Norton Security Suite, 'no problem' found. Try System File checker (SFC) tool system, unable to find amd or problem.  I'm NOT an IT professional.   Tried to clean boot, but all messages status did not help the. Thank you for your help.

    Thanks Gerry, I am afraid that answer with your useful offer was beyond my capabilities, but has been informative.

    I bailed out and contacted Microsoft Support, (first Phillipines to help Support level., then the India after "escalation of the problem on the technical level of two Support" this necessary pay for this help.)   First of all, I have identified my several attempts to fix this next recommendations Microsoft Help searching for the various questions.   It didn't work, but their identification has moved forward the process with Technical Support.   Assistance remotely with them has accelerated the process, and the technician has also not had luck with some of these steps and tried a Reboot own without luck.  Eventually, he used my installation for Win7Pro disk and performed a repair installation.   This... Finally... was able to correct the problem, and update works now.  Technician time total estimated at 1.5 hours, my time of 6 hours, including brief journal - for periodic sequential update facilities after the repair facility.  I have now also now have one year of technical support and got some other goodies from Microsoft Access, (WiFi, Skype, 365, etc..)

    I would like to know what percentage of others, following the advice of Microsoft Help, had a bit of luck fixing this error code.   It would be nice if there was a "fix" seconded to Microsoft.   Win7 is very stable and I want to use it for a while.   Thank you once again.

  • 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-

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
