• Unable to get Windows Update after formatting

  Hi, my computer was not working and decided to format. When I formatted, he reversed himself to XP/SP2. Now I can't get Windows Update to work. I can't update Windows Update, install Microsoft Updates or get updates, not even when I tried to do it from the website. The website shows a couple of updates, but when I try to download/install, it fails.

  It seems I need to update to SP3 to get updates, but when I try this, told me to go to the updates of Windows. And once again. I can't do this, because it does not work. Is there anything I can do to update to SP3 and get my updates?  Thank you

  My computer has been pretty well updated, but now it's back to its native form:

  Windows XP/SP2

  IE6

  Have not reinstalled AV, because the computer is not letting me do

  I have a Super Antisuperware installed at the moment.

  Thank you

• I'm unable to download windows updates, download the 800072ETD error code

  Tried all anvenue but having no success

  (1) what edition of Windows and what Service Pack level is on?

  For \Win7 Vista, right-click on computer , either on the desktop or the Start Menu and then click Properties. The information is under Windows edition

  ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT 2) 800072EFD

  The system cannot connect to the update servers. There are three main reasons why that happens:

  (a) security software (antivirus/security suites / 3rd party firewall/etc)
  (b) there is a problem with the State of the Windows Update Agent
  (c) Malware

  What is the security software installed? -What is subscription and current definitions?
  When was the last time that the system has been analyzed for the presence of malware?

• Impossible to get windows update or microsoft update to work after the factory restore

  I just restored my computer laptop runnung xp sp2 to factory settings and now I cannont get windows update to function (0x8024400A error code) and I can not update microsoft to work (error code 0 x 80240036).  I can access the internet, navigate, dl files etc. just can't get windows updates.  I disabled the firewall and antivirus still cannot operate.  Tried to fix it, SP3, but must for this and I can't seem to install manually.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  Okay, roll up your sleeves! :-)

  (For best results, download all the Setup files below before you restore your computer to its factory settings. Files can be downloaded or copied to a USB flash drive).
  
  Preliminary work:

  Download the installation files (only if necessary!) SP2, SP3, IE8 and Avira Antivirus (beforehand). I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of four files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2) (Note: you don't need to install SP2 if your home is already SP2 or SP1 even.)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-Free-Antivirus (for FREE of Avira version)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. turn your PC to its factory settings.

  3. remove the PC-Cillin was COMPLETELY (see above).

  4. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  5 install SP2 (only if necessary!). Restart TWICE.

  6. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  8. install anti-virus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  9 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  10 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  11. reactivate the automatic updates.
