• 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.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

  NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

• Laptop 15: unable to update windows 8.1 store

  Good evening

  Help nicely with your advice regarding upgrading my windows 8 for windows 8.1 that whenever I try to update to store I get the following "" you can run an edition of Windows 8, which does not support the update of the store " "

  Looking forward to your comments.

  I see that your computer is originally shipped with FreeDOS.  You haven't installed Windows 8 in there and where did you get Windows 8 of.

  If you installed the Enterprise version or used a KMS (Volume license key), then you will not be able to upgrade to Win 8.1

• No sound, unable to update windows, a variety of error codes and dssenh.dll problems... Help?

  I'm running a Toshiba with Windows Vista. The 24th of this month, I have installed the updates for my computer, but when I rebooted I had absolutely no noise. I double checked to make sure it was not cut, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, and then I tried to do a system restore. None of them worked.

  Then I tried to check updates more see if this would help to solve my current problem and began to find more mistakes, such as "could not find updates, error code: 800 b 0001 ' or 'Code error 8024402F' these are mistakes that I see most.

  Then when I go to open certain programs I get errors that say something about ' bad image: problem with Dssenh.dll "when I try to save it again, I get other errors with about 5 other .dll files.

  Of course, I went to the Microsoft website long enough... and I went through multiple options and steps, but nothing helped. So I thought that my last option is to ask.

  The last thing I can find is to download the "System update readiness Tool" to check for problems.

  Well, I can't download or run because of my error '800 b 0001'.

  I don't know what I would do at this point... Help?

  Before the update from the update began when my computer was being restarted... I had a black screen and had a weird three-step process that was supposed to be recommended. Meanwhile, there was a flood of information that crosses the screen.
  I ran a scan complete antivirus just in case, but it could be a virus that has not been detected?

  If anyone has any information, it is greatly appreciated... I don't know what to do.

  McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves!

  1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4 test cycle.

• 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

  Thanks again

• Reformatting the hard disk (drive clean) but XP pro unable to update windows.

  RELOADED XP pro with SP2 (reformatting, wiped the entire C drive) but can't update via windows update.  It seems that the ActiveX control is loaded, but once an update is attempted I get the error number: 0x8024400A.  I tried several suggestions posted with no luck. I can go online - so it doesn't seem to be a communication error (tried several times after having restarted just in case where).  I do not have a third-party firewall. Computer seems to work very well, but cannot be updated.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  Thank you

  If you have, you can try to install SP3 standalone downloadable update on...

  ... don't worry text indicating this ia a network, it works fine for the stand-alone computers.

  See if you can make updates later if SP3 installs OK.
