Unable to update windows install not accessible, also arresting installation of Skype and Webcam live messneger
I had to reprogram my computer on Saturday, I had limited success running the fix tool that allowed me to get most of my updates including service Pack 3. He says it is fixing my Installer, but it doesn't. I restart and try to finish the updates, .net framework 3.5 or something. No luck, so I'm going where I'm done and always end up with the same fix it tool. I've been going in circles for two days. The OS is xp home sp3. I got CCleaner where he was at fault. I have run the fix it tool at least 12 times now. The installer is still inaccessible, and I worry about playing with my registry to be honest.
For the moment, I can't download live messenger or Skype. Suffice to say that my Installer is damaged or inaccessible. Please help me, I'm really at a loss here!
Thank you very much for answering, I'm like a dog with a bone when something goes wrong with my computer, I managed to solve the problem of windows repair. Then manually by doing some updates as you suggested. Winodws runs great so is live and Skype! Thanks again... sneak off to consult windows 8 = D

Unable to update Windows (error Code: Code 8004015)
original title: unable to update Windows
I run windows vista 32-bit, HP laptop, can provide details if necessary
When I try to update windows (my last update was 3/25), the update fails to check for updates, it reads:
An error occurred when the new updates for your computer. Error (s) found: Code 80040154
I tried it without real result on my own troubleshooting.
In addition, I can't update Windows Defender, which signals that it cannot check the updates of definition with found error:
Code 0 x 80244001.I can not also turns on the AVG identity protection as it times out when you try to configure. I have performed analyses of the complete system with AVG, Malwarebytes and rootkits but with no infection research are, but I do not deny the possibility of having a hidden virus.
It may be helpful to say that my laptop has had problems with blue screens lately, even these problems with the updates before began. I got mixed messages on the blue screen, errors of entry being the most common. I think there may be something wrong with one of my drivers, I sent my laptop in for repair earlier and it wouldn't surprise me if they did not work. However, I did the repair of the tool without any result Windows driver.
Finally, the system restore does not work on my system for some reason any and I do not have a backup disk. Right now, I'm considering just buy windows 7 and all wiping. My laptop is not really unusable, it's just embarrassing to have it down every day and not be able to update.

Hi helzf,
You can try to run a Checkdisk on drive E to fix disk errors that can cause this problem. You can make a backup of the data on this drive and try to run checkdisk.
Check out the link:
Check your hard drive for errors
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors
Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.
Hope this information is useful.

Defender of the window does not open unless I restart my computer and try again
original title: Windows Defender
Defender of the window does not open unless I restart my computer and try again. Then it will be open for a few minutes, but then I get the error message: 0x800710dd and it closes. I don't use McAfee antivirus and spyware. I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

Windows Security Essentials (MSE) is supposed to close Windows defender.
WSE has his own Defender. To have 2 defenders running will create conflicts.
What happening IS normal. You have no problem.For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

I can't update windows. I get to 800706BA and error Code 800706BE codes. I also get frequent error messages that Cryptographic Services like stopped working. I would really like to fix this way! Thank you.
OPTION A:
Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.
OPTION B:
You see the effects of a hijackware infection!
NB: If you had no installed anti-virus application or subscription has expired at thetime the first machine was infected and/or your subscription has expired since or the machine is not been kept fully patched in Windows Update constantly, don't waste your time with any of the following: Format & reinstall Windows. A repair install won't help!
Microsoft PCSafety provides users at home (only) with free assistance in dealing with infections by malicious software such as viruses, adware and spyware (including unwanted software).
https://support.Microsoft.com/OAS/default.aspx?&PRID=7552&St=1Also available via the homepage of Support of consumer safety: https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com/
Otherwise...
1. see if you can download/run the MSRT tool manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
NB: Run the FULL scan, not analysis FAST! You may need to download the MSRT on an uninfected machine and then transfer the MRT. EXE to the infected machine and rename it to SCAN. EXE before running it.
2A. WinXP-online Windows Live Safety Center scanner 'Protection' (only!) in Mode safe mode with networking, if necessary:http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm
2B. Vista or Win7-online this scanner instead: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm
3. now run a thorough check for hijackware, including registration required before a proper Court, logs don't here. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!
I can recommend the assistance of experts available in these forums: http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?board=10.0, http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewforum.php?f=5, http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup, http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.phpand http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30
If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
Good luck!
