• Satellite Pro L850 1DR - problems with Windows 7 update KB2887069

  I have problems to install the KB2887069 update.

  It seems to install OK... prompt me to restart... when I do it, says it configures... GETS to 7%, then starts rebooting... watch it configures again... up to 7 or 9%... and then reports it is defect and restoring... restarts again... and it is quite... not installed and reference to Windows Update confirms it failed.

  All the other updates I had installed today very well once I realised KB2887069 was the problem and failed to update.

  I am running Win 7 Prof Serv Pack 1 64 - bit on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L850 1DR. I use my AV Microsoft Security Essentials software.

  For now I had to hide the update... but all of the bright ideas how overcome the problem. I tried the Microsoft site, but there is still no answers who brought a solution for me.

  Thanks in anticipation!

• Problem with Windows Update!

  Hello!

  I have been using a computer HP (h8-1320eo) for about 11 months now, and I have a problem now.

  When Windows Update wants to install some updates, I let do and she successfully the download, but when he wants to set up updates, it freezes at 12%. First time I have let it run about 45-60 min, then forced to close. This happens every time, I shut down my computer.

  Initially, I contacted the Support of Mircosoft, nothing helps, I did some research and I found this discussion on a website (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/517267/sfc-will-not-complete-and-windows-update-gives-a-800...) And that sounds just like what's happening to me! And as I read down, I wasn't the only one, there are others, but they all HP computers.

  And that is why I contacted HP now, and sometimes the computer had some problems to open some files / or orders, for example "stop Installation" when I tried to stop Windows Update...

  Christian,

  I think that using a Restore Point to try and 'go back' is not enough to clear this error.

  It seems that there may be a recent problem with an update of Windows: KB2887069

  Reference Microsoft Forum: kb2887069 crashes at 12%

  You can try the following:

  • The system startup and logon
  • The Windows Updates Notify value (instead of automatic update)
  • Restart and sign (just because cela 'glue change', defines the kernel and make the computer happy)
  • Open windows updates
  • Look for the updates - which creates a list of the updates
  • Highest point and click right update KB2887069
  • Select this option to HIDE the update
  • Try to install the updates

  The same patch / update watch upwards in the list of Windows 8 update - it does not seem to cause problems.

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

  Reloading the image: use your most recent picture disc and recharge the system at this point.  Depending on when you created the Image, it's more or less painful. It will certainly take your system at this point in time, when everything worked.

  If you have never created a System Image, you can learn about it here:

  HP PC - creating and using a System Image to restore your computer (Windows 7) - c02053303

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

  If none of these suggestions work, then the underlying cause of your problem may be another that which has been previously documented.

  One thing you can try:

  Use the approach suggested above and hide the updates from one or more at a time, try to run the updates between selections.

  It is a painful process; It can help discover the question if KB2887069 does not cause any problems.

  You're mowst welcome Mallik. Sorry to hear that Dell don't did not help you.
  Is the system under warranty? If so, according to the information that you have posted, the hard seems to have a problem-
  signature of the problem 07: corrupt volume

  I can't say for sure, but it seems that the hard drive itself either begins to miss or Windows 7 itself is corrupt according to that entry.
  IF you can start safe mode, you can at least save the data on the system for a thumb USB or external hard drive.

  It appears that your only recourse would be built in the recovery partition to restore the system with Dell.
  BUT, if the hard disk itself fails, you will lose your time.
  If the system is still under warranty I would contact Dell and run their diagnostics to verify the health of the hard drive.

• Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

  It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
  I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

  I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

  Hi dabaum77,

  From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

  2. in the left pane, click on change settings.

  3. under important updates, choose the option you want.

  4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  
  Reference:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off

  
  Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

  
  You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.

   

  Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
   
  1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
     
  2. click on the link to view update history.
    
  3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
  (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.
  
  (B) click on close when finished.
   
   
  You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
   
  1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
   

  

  2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
   

  

   
  3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
   

  

   
  4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.

• error code 641 when installing updates. also having problems with windows install

  have vista Home premium, installed sp2. Could not find a way to reinstall the windows installer. I can't find what code641 is

  Hello Spankyinc,

  Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.

  I recommend to create a system manually, Restore Point so that in this case, a problem occurs when performing these steps, you can always perform a system restore.

  Try to create a new user profile and try to install Windows update and check if the update works fine.

  Create a new user

  1. click on start, type Control userpasswords in the start search box, and then click Control userpasswords in the list programs.

  2. click on manage another account.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  3. click on create a new account.

  4. in the new account name box, type a name of single-byte characters, click Administrator, and then click on create an account.

  5. click on the user account that you created in step 4.

  6. click on create a password.

  7. in the new password box, type a password, retype the password in the area confirm the new password, type an indication of password in the Type a password hint box, and then click on create password.

  Once you have a new user accounts check if you can install updates.

• Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

  Hello, everyone!

  Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

  For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi EvanaZgb,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

  I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

  STEP 1
  ------------
  Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
  To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Step 2 now try to update again and post back with the results
  ------------
  Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

  original title: the problem with Windows update

  Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

  XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP3

  Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

  Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

  However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

  I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

  I already followed several instructions on this subject:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/cannot-access-Windows-automatic-update-after/aeaec175-01f4-47ed-8F97-55b854af4220

  In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

  I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

  Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

  [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

  [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

  [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

  [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

  [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

  A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

  A2. Yes.

  A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

  A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

  A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

  If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.

• Problems with latest updates Windows (KB) do not install & repeated notifications via the taskbar icon

  Hello everyone,

  In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.

  Description of the problem:

  Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed.  I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history.  He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates.  The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night.  After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '

  To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.

  Corrective measures attempted:

  1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).

  2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message.  (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).

  3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB).  Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.

  4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked).  No updates KB mentioned above could be found.

  5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues.  (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).

  This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before.  On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.

  (Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.)  I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates.  They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.

  My questions to the community:

  1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?

  2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?

  System Specs:

  Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower;  WIN XP Pro SP3.  2 GB OF RAM;  3.00 gHz CPU;  Outpost Security Suite Pro.  MBAM Pro (on request only).  SAS (on request only);  SpywareBlaster;  IE8 & FF

  Thank you for your time and help, review!

  EDIT: If the OP is also struggling to access the link I suggest using repair Windows updates available from tweaking.com. I suggest also using the Registry backup of the same author before hand.

  I hope this helps.
