I had to run restore disks to bring my XP Pro machine to its original shape - SP2. Now update usually run at all. I get errors 80240036 and 8024400 a, but help posted forum didn't workked

The machine is running XP Pro version 2002 service pack 2 out of the box.  I kept it updated regularly for 4 years.  A week ago Windows Update stopped running.  Then he completely froze and wouldn't start windows at all.  I took it to the dealer and their technician said all they could do was to apply the restore disks.  I did and now windows is up and running, except of course the software is obsolete way and will not support my existing programs and practices.   Immediately I clicked to run windows update, but it will not run.  I get a 8024400 error each time and if I can try to help, contact option do too with the 80240036 error.

I tried following a community solutions Center/kb/555461 article but in vain.  There is no iuctl.dll file and no wutemp or v4 folder.

At this point, I'm stumped.

I had the same problem, they say that it is because of communication problems, etc, but my internet connection is fine.  I solved it download SP3 from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=24 I had troubled 'save' the file so I clicked on 'Run' and updated my windows, then Windows Update worked as usual.

  • Change of material and restore disk problem

    Hello

    I have a HP 3015MT desktop computer next to me that I recently had to replace the motherboard (part no HP) and the hard drive because of the failure. For this reason, I can't use all of the restore disks supplied with the PC. When I try, I get an error indicating that the restore disks are intended only for HP machines. I don't have a spare OS license (do not have a volume contract). -What can I do to get this working or I'll just have to buy a new license? Preferably, I don't want to go this route that we still mainly use XP and I don't want to roll a Win7 machine for 1 user.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you

    Paul

    If you replaced the motherboard of your computer desktop with a card mother no HP then it is no longer a HP PC. Recovery software examines the BIOS for a tattoo of HP. A card mother HP no won't tattoo of eligible product.

    The operating system license is only valid for the HP product, with which it was delivered.

  • Windows keeps freezing, then running dskchk to restart and still then freezes Help!

    Last night I've used Skype and some other Web pages open as well when my computer suddenly froze and I had to reboot. When I did, he worked briefly, but froze again. On the second reboot, he said he had to check the drive for consistency. Everything went well and was able to use it again for a few minutes, but when you type in a document in word, I got the blue screen of death, which said BAD_POOL_HEADER. However, after restarting, I not had the BSOD again. It freezes just up during use, runs the check of the drive even again and again, but continues to freeze later. The arrow works, but absolutely nothing else. I can't even run the computer in safe mode.

    I also noticed it says "recovering orphaned files" and "error correction in the index $I30 in file 50705" throughout the dskchk. There was something to find 19 unindexed files as well. In addition, the last time that I have restarted, he said that Skype is a corrupted file. I uninstalled Skype but this does seem to doing nothing at all.

    Looks like there's a LOT of different things going on here and I'm not that great with computers so I don't know what to do. All I can find are forums online and none were particularly useful. I live in the South of Senegal, so I can't exactly go to a workshop to repair either...

    Is - fixable? Please help me!

  • Satellite L350-235 a restore disk runs on a brand new HARD drive?

    Hello

    My hard drive is dead (completely) 3 days out of warranty.
    Recovery discs has not yet loaded, all I had was a black screen and a mouse pointer.

    So I bought a new hard drive. Problem I have now is how to install Windows on a new drive.
    What should I get Toshiba?

    I obviously paid for Windows Vista, when I bought the laptop, so I'm a little confused on what to do next.
    A restore disk will work on a whole new drive?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Didn t drive recovery does not happen with the laptop because you had an option to create one using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

    You now have this disc which can be ordered here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
    The recovery disk works also with the new HARD drive!

  • Check the disk does not start if he had to run when you restart the computer.

    I selected automatically fix system errors file and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    I was prompted to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer. 

    However, when I rebooted my computer, nothing happened. No disk check has been performed. I tried tha procedure above a couple of times without success.

    Someone please help I was able to do this before, but can't do the job now?  Thank you.

    ACHOIWONG,
    Well, it's system files to discover good good news.  Is probably why chkdsk does not work due to not having permission start upward.  Try to run it from an elevated command prompt:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type chkdsk c:/r

    Try and let us know if it works.
    Thank you

  • HP OEM Vista restore disks work after installing Windows 7 RC?

    The title of the post pretty much everything says. I would like to try the Windows 7 RC, but I also wish I could go back to Vista, at some point. It seemed that the restore disks did not have a complete reinstall the last time (it resets windows pretty quickly). If I load Windows 7 RC, I'll be able to use my restore disks from HP to postpone Vista on my system?

    Thank you

    Pete

    If your specific working set of restore disks really depends on if they were created successfully; However, a set of disks of restoration work should certainly work. At least with my CL Pavillion DV-4-1287, Recovery Manager also continued to work after an upgrade to Windows 7, then a reinstallation via clean install without shaped.  Initially, he works with none of the additional steps, in the second, I just need to copy the application on of c:windows.old\program files (x 86) \sminst.  Unless you have reason to do so, while a clean install is the best route, I wouldn't do a format with a clean install, since all your drivers are stored in the Windows.old folder and (dependent on model) the swsetup folder.  Windows 7 can not find the drivers for all devices (five in my case) but on my machine all drivers Vista has of worked - just needed to point the manual driver update function to the appropriate folded equal windows.old or swsetup. BTW, while drivers Vista came with my laptop running Windows 7, the same is not true for some recent updates on the website.

    Oh, one last thing would be to update the BIOS before installing Windows 7 from the Flash of the bios Setup program is not yet certified for Windows 7 (no surprise since it's always a BONE development)...

  • Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

    Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

    However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
    I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

    Any advice appreciated help.

    Hi tarajanes,

    To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

    Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

    In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

  • Question about Tecra M4 system restore disks

    I am looking to buy a Tecra M4. Toshiba provide a "correct" restoration method I have no problems with restore disks, but have had problems with windows restore sometimes. They provide a factory restore disc or I have to look at the creation of a Ghost disk.

    I need to know just if I can start lookging for a good approx. ghosting before buying.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Robert,.

    Portable Toshiba computers are sold with an OEM "bundle" of the software. This means that you will receive either a CD/DVD that contains an image that can be restored to the full version of the software, or a file preloaded on your laptop from which you can create your own drive can be restored.

    This disk can only be used to completely restore your system to its original factory condition, and you cannot use it to selectively restore files or individual components.

    You can also receive a tools and Utilities CD/DVD that contains specific Toshiba provided to public services.

    If you want to create your own backup copy of your data/system files, then you will need to invest in one of the packages commercial (I use Acronis True Image myself) as well as an appropriate external environment (I use a USB hard drive).
