• Code800F900 'unknown error in windows update' trying to download windows vista service pack 2

  try to download windows vista service pack 2. Last update was on May 21, 2010. For a few weeks or months, the computer can be terribly slow. Often a hard drive rattle sound. For this, I tried anti-spyware, last week I installed and ran AdAware from lavasoft. It found nothing except two small cookies. A few weeks earlier, I had done the same thing using windows Defender. Also nothing. Along with a check disk hard I did not find much either. What end of the lifecycle for this computer, now about 3 years? He was one of the first available vista computers. Thank you for your help, Peter

  Why did you delete your post where you said that Norton application has been installed at some point in the past?

  There is nothing wrong with the guarantee of these forums, but I'd be willing to bet that there is something VERY wrong with the security of your computer!

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

• Updates will not download and install - NO ERROR CODE - updates remain at 0%

  For Adobe Support.

  I get the popup "update" whenever I connect to my computer and it gives me an error message but no code error. The update starts at 0% and stays there indefinitely.

  It's VERY frustrating because on top of working 10 hours today, I have now lost another hour, trying in vain to find a solution.

  By quitting their stand alone suite (CS5, 6 etc) and later support for it, Adobe has FORCED me to use their Cloud Creative suite subscription. While I HATE not being able to buy a standalone program, I like the CC Suite and I'm PAYING for this subscription that provides the latest updates. Now, all of a sudden the updates will not download and install and Adobe wants me to follow a set RIDICULOUSLY long and complicated steps to solve the problem? It's a complete and absolute nonsense!

  I am a self-controlled, respectable and intelligent individual, but it makes me want to use profanity! I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS NONSENSE.

  According to the latest information (see: Adobe : Cloud accelerates since 3.4 million paid creative members |) ProDesignTools) there is over 3.4 million people like me PAY for reliable use!

  Frankly, I'm so frustrated that I am very close to spearhead a national campaign to educate these users 3.4 million on the negligence of Adobe supported because it's visitors!

  WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! ADOBE NEEDS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM! When you get this figured out, I'll certainly appreciate an e-mail from your. In the meantime. Be aware that each passing day, and whenever I see this pop up, it serves as a reminder that Adobe does not respect what they promised!

  Kind regards

• Windows Update will not download?

  When I try and download windows updates it remains at 0% and will not download. Also any secondary windows pop up I opened Virgin rest. These errors started exactly at the same time. I use windows 7 and Norton 360 (4.0)

  Norton 360 v4.x was not released until February 17, 2010. If you have purchased & installed Norton 360 in August 2009, it was Norton 360 v3.x, so you must have upgraded to v4.x because you upgraded to Win7 in October 2009.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. [No, Norton Support will not tell you this.] Norton 360 v3.x "leftovers" can be cause of your problem.

  [You want to print the following instructions for consultation offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  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 (includingLiveUpdate 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 latest version of Norton 360 (using your product ID, if necessary) & restart:http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  IMPORTANT! -Online do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

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

  8. If you have had problems with Internet Explorer 8, perform a reset now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

  8 b. Open IE8 (only) (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty by DEFAULT inside and then AGGRESSIVE modes (again). [1]

  9. restart & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

• Automatic updates will not download to Windows XP SP3 or Microsoft Security Essentials.

  I had the Choicepoint Virus a few weeks there and I think you, I took it. I reinstalled SP3 and got IE8 running. Taken from old CA antivirus program. used to get rid of all traces of Norton or Symantec removal tools. MSE installed and everything worked great until a few days ago. Virus definitions will not update (0x80072EFE). And windows update does not work at all (0x80072EFF). I tried to download them from the site manually, but when I click on the IE link is as I am not connected to the internet. Also, I've been to redirected findstuff.com and other search sites when I click on links in Bing. Thinking that I have a new bug. MSE wasn't able to spot it. Niether has Malwarebytes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• KB978601 and KB979309 - Windows Update would not download

  Hello

  I'm trying to install all of the updates for my Windows 7 (x 64, PL), but both of the subject do not want to download. Windows Update all the time to see the "0 KB 0%. On my second PC, I also have Windows 7 (x 64, EN), but here all the updates (inside these two topic) were downloaded and installed successfully.

  Do you have some advice on this?

  eckko,

  The 'Ko 0% 0' indicates usually that updates were downloaded already in the system or that they are regulated, and the system is in a Quebec awaiting their download. Because updates are from April of this year, then it must be assumed that it is a new installation or reinstallation of Windows 7.
  Updates are intended to solve the problem shown here-
  Microsoft MS10-019 - critical vulnerabilities in Windows security bulletin could enable Code execution (981210) remotely

  Suggest you manually download the updates and Save them.
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB978601)
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB979309)

  When the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Try to install now.
  If they still won't install, and configure the system to boot from a clean state and see if they install.
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  
  NOTE: in start-up mode minimum state all the 3 third party programs will be disabled. Unplug the network connection system it is or open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  If updates are not always install after doing above, then contact Microsoft for assistance to get installed.

  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.

• Windows Update does not install some updates; can not download iTunes or Adobe updates

  For about a month now I had trouble downloading the updates. Windows Update is not good download and install an update called update security for Microsoft Works 8 (KB973636). The details of the error say Code 646. I was try and do not install this update for a month. Other updates are installed automatically without any problem. I was also unable to download iTunes and Adobe updates. During the download, a window pop up that says "Error in installation" and the program closes. I don't know if these issues are related to a problem with a previous update, which I downloaded from Windows Update?

  Win XP support ends soon and I need to get a clean update on this legacy machine.  Where should I go from here?

  Go to start > run > wuaucpl.cpl > disable automatic updates > apply (if the setting is changed) > OK

  To disable the horse notification that appears in the status bar on automatic updates is turned off.

  Go to start > Control Panel > Security Center > resources > change the way Security Center alerts me > uncheck automatic updates

  There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

  Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

  visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

  When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

  Start > run > C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

  For the 64-bit version, change the command run 86 read 64

  In the alternative, there is a troubleshooting tool that can work to accomplish the same thing

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

  Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

  When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

  If there are still problems with Windows update try this utility.

  It is the #25 element in the repair tool to be implemented.
