• 8007371c with windows update error code. Vista Home Premium 32-bit system.

  I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit system and I have problems with windows update since early April.

  The system attempts to update 2807986 KB, 2809289, 2808735, 2820917, 2813345, 890830 (eventually successful), 2817183, 2813170 and 2823324. These will not update after many trials and the system will display an error message saying that some changes could not be completed, returning from changes, will try again on start up, do not turn off.

  On reboot, it gives the message that the updates are not configured correctly, returning changes, do not turn off. I get the 8007371c error code in the popup window windows update but can't find specific information on this code. Help please!

  Thank you.

  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:

  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.

• Windows Update error Code 80071A2C

  Hello
  I had a problem with Windows Update.  February 11, updates began to fail during installation.  This has continued since and all updates failed have the error code 80071A2C.  I googled this code error and looked on this forum, but there seems to be no useful information out there on this subject.  Indeed, on other sites I've seen questions in this topic but no useful answer was given (http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/109632-updates-configuring-fails-error-code-not-microsoft-site.html).  I have a Dell XPS M1530, which is around the age of seven months.  During the closure, I always try to install the updates, but the next time, when I turn on my computer again once it is said they might not be configured correctly and could not be installed.  In addition, sometimes on startup my computer don't really lights up.  It will go to a black screen where there is a mouse that cannot be moved.  What happened a couple of times and I have to hit the power button several times to finally access the logon screen.  In addition, a few times my computer restarts randomly while I was using it.  I tried to install updates manually, and I only managed by installing an update on everything that has been published since February 11.  Obviously these problems begin to add up, so I hope that nice people on this forum can enlighten me.
  Thanks for your time!

  Hi Lyndsocat,

  error code 80071A2C
  The error code has two parts:

  8007 means that there is an error in COM +.

  0x1A2C (6700, in decimal) is a standard Windows error defined in
  Winerror.h:

  ERROR_INVALID_TRANSACTION
  # The transaction descriptor associated with this operation is
  # invalid.

  For example, a COM component is being a transaction and get a
  invalid transaction handle (that is to say, a specific transaction ID number).

  Hope this helps a little, anyway.

  Can someone please help me why this error; Windows Update error Code 80244019 appears when I update my computer?  I think it's due to the update of Windows Defender does not. I use Windows Vista. Please can someone help me solve this problem?

  I would check to see if you have a Trojan or a virus on your system.  He saw several cases with that error and it has been resolved by removing the Trojan horse and reboot your system. Once the Trojan horse has been removed, they were able to install from Windows Update again. It seems possible that your Windows installation has been damaged deliberately by a Trojan horse to avoid you update your system or remove the Trojan horse. Your first priority should be to clean your PC of any malware.

  (1) check that the definitions for Windows Defender is updated.

  Windows Defender is a free program that helps you stay productive by protecting your computer against the pop-ups, slow performance and threats caused by software security spyware and other potentially unwanted software.

• Pavilion dv6t-2000: Post recover process reimage disk - windows update error code a 8024, 000

  Hello

  After replacing my old HDD with a new SSD, I successfully used my purchased 1 & 2 recovery discs to reload Windows 7 x 64.  Now, I am able to connect to the internet and navigate through Internet Explorer, but I can't get Windows Update to work.  I get this error: Windows Update 8024A 000 error Code.

  I researched and found this fix:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/Windows-Update-error-code-8024a00...

  However, after you follow the steps to stop services, rename the specified files, register the dll, and then finally to leave the services, I'm still having the problem.  I also ran a utility "fix" looking for issues with the Windows Update utility, it has been correctly executed and said it solved the problem, but the problem persists.  I get more a 8024, 000 of the error, but the update still does not work.

  I don't him have not yet tried this, because of the weather, but will plan no later than today:

  In safe mode, access c:\windows\ and rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old.
  OK and restart.

  I also tried to upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Update utility which has as well.  I can install other applications (e.g., Norton anti-virus, java, adobe flash player) without problem.

  I noticed that I have not installed ServicePack 1, I did before as I have reimagee my computer. I need to install this first?

  Anyone has any ideas, or did I miss something?

  Your help is appreciated!

  Thanks, Orrin

  I was able to find a solution to this problem.  It is a problem with the HP recovery disk image.  It does not correctly install the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
