Vista - Windows Update problem

I use Windows Vista.  I went to 'Windows Update' and ' Check for Updates ' this morning.  He ran two hours 'check updates'.  I did a disk cleanup and restarted the computer.  Same problem reappeared.  Two days earlier, the process worked.  I prefer not having to buy a new computer until early next year, but will get stuck if I can't get updates of security that we are supposed to have to March of the next year.  If you can help me with this problem, I would appreciate it.  Thank you.

    Hey,.

    I have problems with the automatic update on windows 7 64 bit. I bought this laptop (Toshiba Satellite L650 - 11Z) last July.

    When the computer begins to do the automatic update, there a while and reports the problems mentioned in the subject.

    I found this info on the 800706BE error:
    + Error 800706BA is a standard Windows error with many causes.

  • p6310f: Windows Update problem

    When you try to upgrade to windows 10 I received the error message 0 x 80080005 - 0 x 90016 after watching in Microsoft support forum, I found that the problem was related to windows 7 is not not to date. I checked and found that my computer has stopped udating a couple of years. I tried to run Fixit MS that has not worked. Tried to reboot (BITS) and got ERROR 126 (module not found) I then followed the instructions at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2700567 on how to reset the Windows Update components.

    I guess my question is what I have to do a restore of the system under windows 7, before I can upgrade to windows 10? Or y at - it another way?

    Hello glockrow ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about windows update problems and wanted to help.

    I would that be able to say that updating to Win10 was an exact science where we know exactly how he does it, and what it should - but the flooding of this and other instances of Win10 problem after that problem indicates that, at best, we are all guessing.

    So, I think, from what I've read and done on my PC, is that you SHOULD be able to avoid the problem of missing updates by updating using Win10 created using this MS link media: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

    After you create the DVD or USB, NOT boot from it. Instead, insert it into your PC and, if it does not auto-start, right click on the file setup.exe and run it.

    HOWEVER - and this is important - PC Win7 have a rate low success updated Win10 without problem - primariluy lack of OEM Win10 drivers.  Typical problems include display artifacts (to cause to be obliged to use the driver for the card of Microsoft Basic), not wireless and touchpad problems.  The drivers Microsoft provides have only the most basic features, with none of the extras that the HP drivers bring to the stage.

    It is further complicated by the function Win10 GoBack, whereby you can return to your original operating system, being known to be unreliable. So when your upgrade machine malfunctioning, only then you discover that you cannot return the machine to work, that you had originally!

    You can protect yourself against ending up with a damaged machine - seriously considering using a free third-party product that works for airport Imaging/restoration - Macrium Reflect.

    Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

    So now you can recharge before with the upgrade, knowing that whatever happens, you will be able to return to your currently works in a few minutes.

    Good luck

  • Windows Update problems - you must run Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later

    Whenever I try to go to windows update I get this

    Thank you for your interest to get updates of our site.

    To use this site, you must run Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later.

    To upgrade to the latest version of the browser, go to the website downloads of Internet Explorer.

    If you prefer to use another web browser, you can get updates from the Microsoft Download Center , or you can stay up to date with the latest reviews and updates using automatic updates. To turn on automatic updates:

    1. Click Startand then click Control Panel.
    2. Depending on which control panel view you use, classic or category, do one of the following:
      • Click System, and then click the automatic updates tab.
      • Click performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the automatic updates tab.
    3. Click the option you want. Make sure that automatic updates is not turned off.

    am under explore 8 and it is updated. Is there any help out there for this? I'll be bald if I can't solve this problem quickly.

    I will try to reinstall the Windows Update Agent Installer.  Here is a link to the Microsoft site that explains how to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104.

    Go to the section How to get the last agent to update as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section on the additional information tab called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (I checked that it also works under Windows 7).   Choose one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.

    I hope this will solve your problem.

  • 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
