Windows 7 - error Code: 80072F8F

• 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!

• 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.

  Alan,
  If you have not already opened him a pension case and you still get this error, here are a few things to try.
  Run these tools and see if one of them report errors that cannot be fixed:
  Disk error checking
  System File Checker  
  The system update tool

  If those who invent it own and you still have a problem you can run some virus\malware scan from another source and then your.  Take a look at these links because they have some great info on virus protection:

• Windows Update error code 646 & dt000.

  Received the Windows Update error Code 646 & dt000 does not allow the following 2 updates be installed (KB976382 KB981725) what I need to do.

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, yourBackground Intelligent Transfer Services set toAutomaticand started and Windows Update ? They both should be started. You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually. Click each of the links below and click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.

  KB976382

  KB981725

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and thenQuick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.
