8007371 C error code. This is what and how can I solve this problem?
For these last two days I tried to update my Windows Vista, but the updates that I tired failed and show this error code on this subject. What this mean and how can I solve this problem? Thank you.
Hello
1. do you have security software installed on the computer?
2 did you last modified the software on the computer?
3. do you have active user account control?
Method 1:
I suggest to turn off user account control and also disable any anti-virus application and then try to install the updates.
Enable or disable the User Account Control
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-user-account-control-on-or-off
Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.
Disable the anti-virus software
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.
If the steps do not help, go to the method 2:
Method 2:
I suggest you run the FIXIT from the link below and.
