  • XP - error Code: 80040154 (cannot install updates)

    All started with Windows Update. It has not been updated. Not automatically, or manually. He repeated:

    The files required to use Microsoft Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

    Register or reinstall the files for me now(recommended)
    Let me read it on other measures that may be required to solve the problem

    I chose the recommended option, it showed, it has been downloaded files, then save, then he returned to the foregoing. I left alone.

    Next Windows Defender would not be updated and gave me the error code 80040154, I uninstalled it. Tried to scan the laptop using Windows Live One Care Web Site. From the beginning of the download, it stopped and gave error code 80040154, I installed Windows Security Essentials, when it finished installing he tried to update and gave error Code 80040154. Finally, I timed it trying to update Windows from the update site, check the update log and you guessed it. IT FAILED DUE TO THE ERROR 80040154.

    Recently, I tried to reinstall Windows Live Messenger and I can't connect because of why? WHY? 80040154 ERROR CODE!

    WHAT IS THIS ERROR? HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    Help, please. I need to update windows so I can update my google video chat, can't use it cause it is says I have to update windows. WHAT IS THIS ERROR?

    80040153 translates into "class not registered".

    I recommend trying to re-register the DLL from Windows Update files by using method 4 in the article below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/822798

    You can also try other methods as well, as they won't hurt but the method that I think will help #4.

    I hope this helps.

  • Error code: 80070426 - (cannot install updates)

    I just got an error yesterday, on 9 November, that windows could not download automatic updates so I clicked on the Update icon in my system tray and tried to run the updates manually.  I got the Error 80070426 and with repeated tests there I cannot get updates.  According to the automatic updates, I have not received new updates since October 10.

    I also checked my security settings and noticed that my Windows Defender has been exceeded.  If I try to update Windows Defender, I also have an error saying that it cannot be updated with the error code 0x80070426.

    I looked at the code Error 80070426 on knowledge base and followed the steps here to try to fix.  Disk cleanup has no effect.  Whenever I try to validate my copy of windows, it says:

    This copy of Windows has failed the genuine validation.

    An unauthorized change was made to your Windows license or software installed on this computer is not currently compatible with Windows Vista.

    I tried to run as administrator command prompt and get an error for this as well.  It is said: The Software Licensing service could not be started.  A system error has occurred.  2 system error has occurred.  The system cannot find the specified file.

    This computer was originally shipped with XP, but earlier this year, I installed Vista with a copy bought in the store after I had problems with my operating system and could not run the XP restore disks sent to me by HP or those that I did after that I bought this computer.  When I first installed Vista the computer has a large.  However, after about 2 months, I started to have the blue screen of death, and my computer shuts off and restarts automatically when the blue screen comes up.  I was never able to locate files error on my computer so I do not see what is causing the blue screen and the screen is not upward on my computer... maybe it's here for a second before a restart of my computer.  I don't know what is causing my computer to act like that.  I ran all kinds of virus scans, ad-aware scans, keylogger scans, etc., and nothing ever comes I have a Trojan horse or any kind of virus.  Either something is seriously steeped in this machine that I was unable to find or my system some how became unstable at any given time.

    You can give me any help would be greatly appreciated because at this point, except to buy a new computer or do a complete OS reinstall again once I'm all options or ideas.

    1. contact the Iolo Support [1] and ask how you can "undo" the changes by using the component "Registry cleaner" System Mechanic.

    2. after "undo" these changes, open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [2]
