  You may be unable to access the site Web Windows Update in Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003 if these versions of Windows are not updated with the latest Service Pack

  But I have service Pack 3.  IE8 fails, install a convenience store, but after following the instructions there is no difference.

  I am at a loss for the next steps...

  Many people say that download and run the Update Agent stand-alone file solves this problem:

When we download the updates it crashes again.  Does anyone know if there is a problem with one of the recent updates that we should avoid so that we our computer working again?

  Hello

  Since you are quite sure this is an update to the source of the problem I want to troubleshoot using this method.

  Control Panel - Windows Updates - upper left settings - set to download but allow you to install them.
  To operate the system and see if there are problems.

  If no problem try to apply updates in small groups or even one at a time, depending on how
  There are many. Beware especially of driver updates that may be older that you have or
  those even incorrect.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  These can help to solve the problems of update.

  Control Panel - Windows Updates - lower left Installed Updates - uninstall or change

  Or

  Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)

  No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.

  Method of connection: wireless

  Technical expertise: intermediate level

  Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

  Hello amib004,

  As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

• Why can't I install Windows updates? (Error 80072EFE code)

  I could not install Windows updates for 7 months, as every time I try, I get the same error code.

  My system Details are as follows:

  Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2, 32-bit OS

  Error message reads as follows:

  Windows could not search for new updates.  An error occurred when the new updates for your computer.

  Error (s) found:

  Code 80072EFE Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

  Have tried the 'Try Again' option several times, each time, without success.

  It would really appreciate help with this problem - thanks guys!

  Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.

  You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

  [Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]

  5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".

  6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.
