Using XP SP3 - updates failed with no error code

No indication of failure lie in the history of the update and the only reason given is that 'something' on my computer prevents installation

MS security Essentails updates so accessible via the Essentials program.

I try did ' t the last suggestions in your answer as to the similar steps had been informed by e-mail MS second, Support.A support indicated an error code in the update log (800704dd) code of a missing or corrupted registry key = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microspft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notifv.  Then followed a whole list of registry keys to paste in a "fixit" file and I am now able to install updates and dose it doesn't seem to be a security problem.

Thanks a lot for your advice and tips

  • Patch updates fail with the error Code 3

    I tried to understand this one for months, but I work in the it Department and we have available creative cloud to our creative team. A particular Mac user, who uses a connection to Active Directory, but is a local administrator on their computers, has had this same problem for months, and I wonder what can be done to address this problem.

    Whenever an application is installed, it fails to patch. I get an error Code 3 and an individual application cannot be updated. Error Code 3 seems rare because I have not really seen anyone refer to it anywhere on the web. In any case, I already tried the follow-up:

    • Uninstalled/Reinstalled, with or without the cleaning tool
    • Change permissions on specific folders, as well as the entire system disk
    • A ran repair disk and authorization
    • My own creative cloud compiled and installed package
    • Created a new CC account for the user in question

    .. .the all of these "fixes" nothing helps.

    It should also be noted that this particular user has been given first of all a new hard drive with a new installation of Mac OS X Yosemite and now an other machine. The same behavior continues to poison us. This is crazy!

    And whenever I try to set up a chat on-line with Adobe support, wait and wait, only to be expelled leaves a session before it had even begun. It's the equivalent of getting hung up on the phone after waiting on hold for an extended period of time. It's horrible. I really need to solve this problem. All the research I did rush to the same steps to try to remedy the situation, but nothing does. Please, please, please give me something I can work with that.

    Thank you

    In addition, I can't run my Bernina on Vista software.  Do I need to buy special software to do this?

    Hello Sharon sews,

    The error that you are experiencing with your monitor is an update of the HP driver for the monitor. It is not a Microsoft Update.

    You can try the following:

    • UAC was arrested. Turn on UAC stop my gadgets to work [another thread on these forums...].
    • A week ago, I got speech recognition works only with a local edition. Insert this ctfmon '=' CTFMON registry entry. EXE, to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, fixed the problem. However, I can't find to this registry entry.
    • Four days ago, I had slow internet speed. I did a 'Complete' Microsoft Security Essentials scan and it found many exploits (Explot: Java/CVE-2009-3867.)

    • This morning, I have updated the firmware on my SSD to activate the TRIM. I restored an image of the drive I did with Windows Backup and Restore just before updating the drive.

    Problem:

    • I tried Windows Update after update of the SSD. It downloads all updates, installs, and prompts you to restart the computer to complete the installation. During the shutdown, some files are 'configured '. Upon restart, during the boot of Windows GUI (circles of flight), there is a break-up of the code, something about the registry. On logon, it gets "35%" and says so "returning default configuration updates,' or something like that. I get a notification indicating that the updates failed.

    What I tried:

    • Disk Cleanup attempt (and unfortunately removed all restore points). Did not work.
    • Attempt to sfc/scannow. He found a few files, that it could not correct; I have the CBS.log newspaper if you need. However, updates still do not work.
    • Tried to reset the resource manager to file with "fsutil resource setautotest true c:\ ». She is successful. However, after the restart, the updates still do not work.
    • Tried a Full scan with MSE. No anomaly.
    • Tried to reset components to update Windows (using the Vista Fix - It via KB971058). Updates still do not work.
    • Attempt of Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (updated dec 2010) Full Scan, no malicious software was detected. Updates still do not work.
    • Attempt of Anti-Malware analysis complete Malwarebyte, no malicious software found. Updates still do not work.

    I don't think that this is malware, but a Windows problem... My internet is wobbly for these last two days, a lot of packet loss (pages only "" half load, some missing frames, etc.). Not sure if this is related, but it downloads the updates very well. It is not always the marker "35%".

    I'm out of ideas. What's next?

    Thank you

    1. about 1 year, I installed MSE.

    2 McAfee has been preloaded; the subscription was updated (in a 90-day trial), and I uninstalled McAfee completely (regular uninstall and Removal Tool provided by McAfee).

    3. Yes, for about 30 minutes before I uninstalled and installed MSE.

    4. Yes.

    However, with a little help seven forums, we have figured out it is the registry. I did a reinstall and then the updates installed correctly.
