• Windows Vista, windows update error Code 80072F8F

  I get the error code 80072f8f. I searched the forums of discussion for something that will help, but nothing helped. I also lost the ability to use the system restore. I checked my timestamp in windows and it shows the date and time correctly. I even went into my bios to make sure that my system time was correct. Both are. I went to this Web page http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/10acefdc-297f-4d14-9f5c-5a90250a8b8c and followed the instructions but had no luck either.

  I don't know if system restore is a symptom of the same problem or one of its own. I ran into this problem when I tried to install a netgear 311t wireless network card. I have since deleted from the card and uninstalled the software, I don't know if the map was part of the question, but I noticed when I tried windows update in order to get a driver for the card. I am running Windows vista Home premium 32-bit on a Pentium D 3.00 ghz with 3.5 g of ram. Any help would be great. Thank you.

  I was afraid you might say that!

  OPTION 1: Contact the Symantec Support.

  OPTION 2: 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!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

  4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
       http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

  Tip: After completing the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually before connecting any player external to the computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton removal tool (new) before installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (e.g., SAV, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistarepair/threads

  Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, Vista SP1;) Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

• Windows 7 - error Code: 80072F8F

  I have the Windows 7, 64-bit machine and get error code 80072f8f for about a month now.  I tried the fixes recommended in aid and in other places without result.  I run Eset for my firewall and antivirus/spyware detection system.  The PC was purchased new with Windows 7 Premium home edition on it and so far in early August of this year, updates worked well.  I would appreciate any other suggestions, that someone might have.  Thank you, jdmtkr

  The machine was purchased with ESET on it and update worked well until August when it stopped working.  I returned to advanced on ESET settings and off the SSL filtering that solved the problem.  Once I stopped to have ESET filter SSL, Windows update immediately started working.  I got the set program to request exclusions for various SSL filtering problems and I think one of my kids has a message in August when they used the PC and instead click on Yes to accept, they clicked on exclude who killed the ability for Windows Update launch.  Why there was a clock error is unknown, but the machine is now updated again.

• Windows Update - error Code 80072F8F

  Ok. So I am very anxious about my problem and after reading a lot of posts and various Microsoft support pages I have to insist that you are trying to copy and paste a generic useless solution that you throw all beginners. If you can't help, just don't post.

  In any case, my last Windows successful update was August 3. The update was "Security Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2286198) ', and he succeeded. Since then, no main Windows settings have been changed and no software was installed. However, without apparent reason, I get the above error code (see the title of the topic) whenever I try to run Windows Update. My first instinct was to run a Google search on the error code. It produces the following two pages:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80072F8F

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/system_maintenance_for_windows

  I tried all the solutions offered by these pages, and nothing worked. My clock is well-ordered, and in sync with time.windows.com. I ran Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Services. No dice. So I looked around on your beautiful forums here and found the following topic:

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/10acefdc-297F-4D14-9f5c-5a90250a8b8c

  I tried to correct the problem by trying EVERY SOLUTION UNIQUE attributed to the user who created this topic, including resettlement certificates root to update and re-registering components (Softpub.dll, etc.) as suggested. I temporarily disabled my third-party security software (ESET Smart Security 4 and Yes, that my subscription is current and all my third-party software are up to date). Windows Update is the only feature which seems to be faulty on my machine. My internet connection is fine, loads pages without penalty in Firefox and Internet Explorer. I've rebooted more times than I can count.

  I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Given that you're OS software costs as much, if not more than a cheap computer in itself and I consider a problem I can't solve (because the way I am a student a graduate of computer science in the former USSR) all unacceptable. The fact that, not being not able to update the OS effectively paralyzes my laptop thousand dollars, I am naturally very irritated. Stay in place beyond 04:00 trying to solve an operating system bug is not valuable my time use, and so all productivity more is lost I can simply opt to migrate from Windows altogether. Let me know if you need more information about the configuration of my. I hope you can help, because I enjoy not having to do a full reformat.

  ·        I got s error code 80070005 when:

  Windows Update does is set to automatic update search and downloaded an update of the normal Windows Defender definitions.

  Downloaded, it would not move.  I regularly got these definitions of Defender updates and installed without problem, since a few years - until Monday July 5, for some reason any.  I'm not aware of any change that I made for all programs, because I downloaded and installed my update of definitions last defender about a week earlier.

  I use a single Windows Vista Ultimate Desktop without networking or wireless involved.
