I can't open Windows Update in safe mode with access to the internet by trying to resolve an update Error 80070020 on Windows Vista... Can anyone help?

I followed the instructions for Error 80070020 to start Windows in safe mode with internet access, but Windows Update does not open when you click on it in the box start the search.  Internet access is available and I can connect with other sites.  However, it starts when Windows is in normal mode, but that does not help me solve my problem

To decode 0 80070522 x. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of the East of 20, the number, the Windows error.
 
To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 20 Menu display - decimal. It will say 32.
 
Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type
 
net helpmsg 32
 
and it will say
 
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
 
Use Notepad to search for FATAL and 80070020 in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.

    Hello, Winston,

    It is actually for troubleshooting only.

    Networking Mode safe mode starts Windows in mode safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.

    my laptop keeps going to the start page.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this post very informative, excellent. Without the machine test myself that I can't be sure, but based on the age of the computer and what you wrote I suspect for lack of material. It could be something simple like the hard drive or RAM or something more serious like the motherboard. I wouldn't recommend replacing any material on such an old laptop.

    As long as the hard disk has been physically, you can recover your data easily. If the hard drive has failed, then you will need to send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company. It is quite expensive ($500-3700), but they can usually recover your data. Some insurance policies cover also, professional data recovery in order to check with yours. But let's be optimistic. ;-)

    IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company.

    I'll give you the information on how to test the hard drive to see if it's good physically and how to recover data when you can't in Windows but in doing these things requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself the best and that it would be better to take the laptop to a competent local professional. If you do this, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues.

    A. test equipment

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    http://www.ImgBurn.com

    http://www.Seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/SeaTools/seatooldreg
    http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. You will probably need to change the boot order. Your Dell can give you a temporary boot menu if you press F12 as the computer starts. If so, use your arrow key to select the CD drive. Otherwise, press F2 to enter in Setup (BIOS) and change the order of boot on the CD drive first. If the disk fails all physical tests, it must be replaced. Although readers of the laptop cost around $60, you should really consider if it is to put money in such an old machine. You can replace the disk, but the laptop is definitely at the end of its normal life and something else is doomed to failure.

    There is information about the RAM test and other materials here:

    B. retrieve data detach a healthy disk when you are unable to Windows

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd.

    2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB stick with a capacity to hold your data OR an external USB hard disk formatted FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

    original title: Internet problems

    My computer connect to internet wireless whenever I turn on my laptop; However, I still can't access internet. I have to go to safe mode with networking to get internet. What can I do? My Xbox is connected to the internet with no problems at all.

    Hi Aaron,

    What antivirus do you use? Since you are able to connect mode without failure, it leads me to believe that this is caused by a program that you run which restricts navigation. Try to disable all antivirus software and try to get online.

    Just note that it's always a good idea to always have an antivirus running. But not more than one at a time can cause problems.

    I hope this helps.

  • Keep safe mode, safe mode with network stops, why?

    Hello, I am running xp pro svc pk 3 and ie 8, 32 bits.

    I'm in safe mode periodically to run scans. Once completed, I support on restart, it goes to closing towards the bottom of the screen and remains there forever. (Actually more than an hour after an hour I just stopped using the power button.

    I can go to safe mode with networking, and the computer restarts correctly.

    No matter how safe mode, I'm going in?

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Sorry Elizabeth32...   I don't see anything wrong here right now.

    Of course, you should try to avoid using the power button while XP is running or you may find yourself with a message like this:

    Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    Microsoft support engineers will offer you so wrongly you use KB307545, but you should never "start" it when you see this message.  It is however the first article coming KB in a search engine Bing of the error, but it is unlikely that is going to be the problem...

    On the contrary, if you see this message, you should start with a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery first, Console and that will usually clear up the problem with the NT (NTFS) file system resulting from the interruption of the power supply.

    I want to collect certain information to help better the issue on Internet Explorer:

    (1) what happens when you try to access the Internet in normal mode on the computer? You receive an error message?

    (2) don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    This problem could be due to changes in the Internet connection TCP/IP settings.

    (a) type "cmd" in the start screen. Right-click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator".

    (b) type the following command and press ENTER:

    netsh winsock reset

    Windows update takes forever to download and even more time to install any update files. Then it configures when stopping down, then he sets up when power is on, oops one of your edits was not able to install and all the process begins again. I absolutely refuse to let the process run on its own if it is not an option. I personally oversee what, when and if something moved at all.

  • No access to Windows Update in Windows Vista safe mode with network

    Since yesterday every time I connect normally to Windows Vista, the programs stop responding at random and nothing works Manager tasks even not so I am forced to close it manually, the only way that I normally use my computer is in safe mode

    I googled and someone who has had a similar problem to mine all downloaded updates critical to windows update and that seems to fix the problem

    My question is how can I access Windows Update in Safe Mode with network, because when I click on start - Windows Update, nothing happens and I cannot use windows install either.

    Thank you

    Hi Renee,.

    Please use the Community Forums for Vista.

    Probably not the cause, but enabling it does update race and there is probably a problem there.

    Well, let's see. If all your restore points are gone, it's bad. Often, it is a virus.

    Here's what we need. Error codes, messages, etc.

    If no pop up, go into the event viewer (just type in the search bar) and look in the logs of Windows, Applications, and system folders. Please only after the event. We just need the event id and the application causing him.

    Here's what you can do in the meantime.

    Run the checker system files and chkdsk.

    Get back to us with error messages and follow the directions below.

    Follow these steps.

    Type cmd into the search bar and press to enter.

    The chkdsk command line type, then press on enter.

    If it finds errors, type chkdsk /f to repair.

    Once that is complete, insert your windows installation disc in the drive and return to the command prompt. Type sfc/scannow, and then enter.

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

  • Why I can boot into safe mode with internet connection, use the operating system, etc., but can not open a normal session without password administrator; who got the disabled.

    OEM Vista Home Premium. Normal startup does not recognize the password. When you click User icon it says: "your account has been disabled. Please, see your system administrator"I looked in the mirror, but it did not help. Booted, press F8, went in safe mode with network connection. Everything seemed to be there. Surf the internet and then started to ask me why I don't have a password here when I did normal start-up. What is the password? Check "Microsoft Answers", but what I came out which was, I need to reinstall the OS, which I can't do it without a drive anyway.  I thought that I've used it before, I knew the password. This computer has been recently "reinstalled" internal folder 'restore '. Something must happen. A unknown password can be removed from safe mode? Ultimately how reinstall you a clean Vista when all you have is the key to product and no local or OEM support? What would be the difference between a password reset disk and the OS disk.  The two would probably be stored side by side. Not to mention that most of us Dummies want to just surf to buy, and if we can not surf, we cannot buy. Dummies help us get back on the internet, Microsoft. At least take care of this shot.

    Hi PAM,.

    In Safe Mode, try to activate the high administrator account http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/.  Then log in using account and use it to solve problems with your normal administrator account login via control panel / user accounts / manage other accounts.  Find the one you want and make the appropriate changes to fix it.  If you can't, then you need to address as a corrupt account by using the following procedure:

    To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If this is the only available administrator profile (you must be an administrator to solve this problem), activate the hidden administrator account (HAA) (i.e. what you did above, or you can do this by using these instructions instead: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9001970/How_to_access_the_true_Administrator_account_in_Windows_Vista?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1.)

    Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    The fact that it says it is disabled gives me to think that you can use the guest or built-in Administrator account already (as normally, you cannot disable an account, but you can with these two which cannot be deleted and only disabled).

    The password reset disk is only good if created before that you need and only to restore a password, do not to activate a disabled account.  Another thing that goes beyond passwords here.

    A recovery disk allows you to do some advanced options of recovery by booting the disk, but it will help you restore the operating system (or help you with this problem either).

    An Installation of Vista genuinve disc (the operating system drive as you seem to be describing) is a disk that contains the operating system.  That, if it is the original disc supplied with the system and is exactly the same as the product OEM key that you must allow you to do a clean OS install (although I would be first backup you'll pretty much lost everything in the process).  The following should help: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html.

    If you have a factory Conditions or a recovery Partition restore disk, then these are alternatives to a clean install if you don't have this disc.  But the procedure varies according to the manufacturer, make and model of PC.  Most of the manufacturers will allow you to buy these records of restoration (for a fee) If you cannot do it with a recovery Partition cannot create diskettes from the recovery Partition or have no other option.  Visit the support site of the computer for information on this topic, available options, and related costs.

    If you cannot enable the built-in Administrator account and cannot access the system in normal mode with this or another administrator account, then I'm afraid a clean install or restore to factory conditions is your only option.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
