KB2686509 security update will not install 0xf0f4 error code

After downloading Microsoft security update for Windows XP (KB2686509) update will not install - what should I do?

I struggled with this for days. Here's what was going on and what I did that worked.

faultykeyboard.log listed 24 entries of the form kb*.kbd

I searched and no such files exist on my computer.

By running regedit and looking, I found 24 subkeys appearance abnormal corresponding to the list in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layouts

After carefully reviewing the risk of damage, I discovered that the operating system automatically restore this section of the registry in the event of a boot failure.

I deleted then boldly all subkeys of the *.kbd type in the registry. I deleted faultykeyboard.log. I rebooted then ran the KB2686509 update and installed and restarted the computer.

The problem disappeared.  Everything works.

  • Four Office 2003 security updates will not install

    I have four absolutely the Office 2003 security update will not be installed. I tried all the solutions I could find so far short of uninstalling and reinstalling Office. I am Windows 7 64-bit and many of the solutions I found reference XP or Vista, although I don't know how much difference that makes at this point. The updates are KB2289163, KB2284695, KB244978 and KB2466074. Other updates have succeeded since they refused to install after the download, but these four still just won't do.

    What are the error codes that are specific to these four Office updates?
    Have you tried the advice of the PA bear?

    You could start a free Windows Update support, but it would be more efficient to just reinstall Office 2003 time.

  • KB2249857 Windows Update does not install with error code 800706BE

    Hello

    On October 28, Windows Update has identified 3 updates to be installed (KB2388210, Ko 2284742 & 2249857 KB) which caused my PC hang on reboot (stuck to the ' install updates...) 1 screen 3).

    Since then, I managed to install 2 of the 3 (KN2388210 & KB2284742) successfully by individually selecting in Windows Update but the KB2249857 update will not install and now whenever the PC stops it hangs while trying to install this update and needs a "hard reset" (that is, hold the power button) to recover up to.

    I've seen a few posts on problems with this update, but no definitive answer or resolutions.  Any ideas?

  • KB2686509 security update is not installed

    The update above will not install on my computer.  As I am not very good in computers, I took my problem to a friend of mine who is a genius with computers.  He could not install either, he managed to establish that the problem lies with the software that handles my keyboard. Suggestions anyone please? Please keep it simple, because as I said, I don't know a lot about the intricacies of computers.

    Original title: KB2686509 security update

    Your friend is right, because it has to do with your keyboard. Ask them to look in your Windows directory for a file "faultykeyboard.log" and go to this thread  (KB2686509 repeatedly fails with error 0x8007F0F4 code) where you have 3 possibilities to solve the problem:

    (1) glance to 2nd marked "Answer" Post (of Christian S.) and try to run its new VB Script (at your own risk - if necessary) as described in this report.

    OR...

    (2) search the marked 1st Post "Answer" (from Susan B.) and try to determine which of these scenarios you are. So far, there is - at least - three types of different errors that would make the KB2686509 update fails with error 0x8007f0f4 code,.

    OR otherwise - if neither works above...

    (3) try to contact Susan Bradley (provided email in even mentioned thread) it is wanting to offer his help regarding failure to comply with this update to install - as long as you have your faultykeyboard.log file.

    Good luck!
