• I'm very frustrated with Windows Update after receiving the error code 80070005

  After receiving the error code 80070005 for these last months.  I tried several suggested corrections but have not been able to get updates either.  My operating system is Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Windows operating system and have service pack 2 installed.  any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  As I said that it is a very difficult issue to resolve.

  Did you use all of these methods, including the last link to the other thread?

  If you have used all then possibly an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation might
  help that allows to maintain the programs and data backups although redundant
  are always a good idea.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
  machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
  good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

  =====================================

  If nothing works then, you can use BING or Google and search for all types of suggestions
  many whom will be totally false.

  Perhaps the best choice is a new installation. You can use copy and paste to the backup
  the data on CD, DVD, or USB drives.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Update after moving the 'users' on another disk on Windows 8 (without using the registry)

  Hello guys,.

  I would like to ask something. I just got a new desktop PC with a 240 GB SSD and a 1 TB HARD drive, so I had to move the Users folder to the HARD disk. I used the way written here: http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-change-user-profile-location-in-windows-8-without-registry-hack/

  I wonder now, since there is no registry hack, it is sure to run Windows Update? I tried yesterday, but I found myself with 4 updates, do not install with all the applications Microsoft Windows 8 (those in the new departure) detects not whole Internet. I could not also add all the features for windows in the .net Framework as anything Microsoft partner unable to connect to the Internet.

  I did a fresh install, followed the new guide but disabled the update of Windows, but I need some updates to add some options to my systems, just basic Windows updates don't not upgrading to 8.1 Windows, so is safe to make updates, is there something to do to ensure that all updates will install very well or should I just stay away Windows Update?

  In which case it is allowed to update, I want to do all work perfectly as I heard the guide I followed could sometimes would do if permission issues records to check and make sure I got all the permissions to so that none of the updates fail? Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I would recommend that you not move all of the USERS folder, or even your own...

  Which may or may not be the problem with .net 3.5... It's kind of finicky to start, and there are other reasons why he could not install...

  But there are things in the folder users who may not be able to be found by things like the update of Windows, programs and etc...

  The best thing to do is to simply move your various Documents, photos, etc. and leave the application data and only, etc...

  You can make a new My Documents folder on the HARD drive and put the photos, downloads and etc in it and then change the location of your folder...

  You don't have to make a new folder in My Documents, but there is less clutter in this way...

  You MUST create new records to the desired location on your HARD drive.

  If the files are going to be mixed between them on the root of the folder you are moving to.

  There is a way to create the file as part of the process of 'Change location', but it would be better just to create the lilke files as you would any other folder, exactly where you want that they and choose when you're moving.

  Just go to your user folder, right-click on the file that you want to move, select Properties, and then click the LOCATION tab.

• Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

  I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

  The answers will be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.

• How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

  How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

  Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

  There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

  If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

• Gettinng less updates to Windows Update after formatting Windows

  Original title: problem with Windows Update after PC format

  Hello, I have Windows 7 x 64 OEM and today I had to format 6 times my PC because of my graphics card.

  Problem which is the 5th time that I formatted my PC, WU shows me less up to date than the first time. And in format 6, least of all day.

  How can I solve this problem? Thnaks.

  Hi Josele69,

  Whenever you install a new update, it contains the updates released before. If you will get only the recent updates. When you run windows update, you also receive only for new updates when you're done with the updates offered. This might be a reason you found less updates after formatting windows.

  For more information, see the links:

• Lose the ability to access Internet after Windows updates published in the last 24 hours

  I lose the internet connection if I install the Windows updates published in the last 24 hours.  I have had access to the internet after restoring to a restore point.   I was able to recreate this problem be reinstall them again.

  Update the example is KB2121546

  Manually install a - alone.
  Reset.
   
  Still have Internet?
   
  Manually install the next one, one.
  Reset.
   
  Still have Internet?
   
  Repeat this until you lose Internet or have installed all updates - what comes first.  If you lose Internet - uninstall that one and install all others (using the same one at a time - at the most method you will have 8-9 for this cycle) then come here and let everyone know what update was kill your Internet connection.
   
  Why?  An update of the example is of no help.  There are 9 updates you could possibly have * if * you were aware through yesterday.  Knowing the SPECIFIC update that is causing your problem would be better for you and those who help you.

• How can I keep windows update to change the location of folders of rediredcted

  My work computer is in a domain.  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Due to the large size of the 'My pictures' folder I redirected it to on of my local readers rather than let him lie on our server (Windows 2003 SBS).  I also redirected "My music" folder on a local drive and the 'My Favorites' folder on the server where the "My Documents" folder is also.  It works very well without any problem, most of the time.  In some way, some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of the "My pictures" folder on the server.  When this happens, I know that as soon as I login after the reboot because it will take about an hour before the computer can be used.  The reason for this is that the folder is moved (not copied) on the server with a connection to ethernet 100 base-T.  My another stay of redirected folders where they are supposed to be, just the 'My pictures' folder is moved.  I tried to find all the registry entries that have to do with the location of this folder and found only two, those who originally, I changed to redirect the folder in the first place.  This has happened for the 4th time, when I greeted Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (13/02/13).  It becomes very boring and time would trust because I have to put the folder on the local drive and reset the folder redirection and the whole process takes about an hour, plus time lost after reboot.  Help please.

• Ask Windows Update to install the Vista SP2, which was installed years ago and won't let me install Live Essentials for the same reason.

  Windows Update is now always ask to install the Vista SP2, which was installed years ago. When you try to install through Windows Update, it concludes the installation like ok, then once again it shows in Windows Update. When I try via stand-alone, it is said that SP1 is not installed. Of course, it is. In any case tried to reinstall and he wrote is already installed. I'm sure I installed both SPS long ago, but none of them show in the updates installed. It's probably something in the registry. Properties system shows SP1. Ah, I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

• Windows Update cannot check the updates because of the error code 80070002.

  Hi, I have a 64-bit Windows Vista, Microsoft Service Pack 1.

  My Windows Update stops errors whenever I have trying to update. This has happened for a while now, maybe 4-5 months? However, since there is no reason that I needed to update, I just let go.

  Then I realized that because of this error, my iTunes won't work; during installation, there is an error with the same numbers: 80070002. I really need to use iTunes, and it won't work.

  I checked the system for errors and renamed, but it has not fixed no problem.

  Please, how can I solve this problem?

  Hi xgbearfsho,

  If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again.

  Windows Update Error 80070002

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-Error-80070002

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you install service pack 2 for Windows vista on the computer and check if this solves the problem of update.
