Windows 7 - new update - Code 646 - that occur repeatedly for about a month now

Hi all!

I use Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. For the last month, my automatic updates continually seem to fail with an error Code 646. My only option so far has been to manually download the updates myself.

Just curious to know if anyone knows if there is some kind of problem that MS is currently studying, or if there is a fix out there somewhere that I forgot. Let me know if any information is needed to help solve this problem and I'll give you a pleasure all necessary information!

Thank you!!

    When I launch the new photo or the new HDR feature fusion device, they start for about 10 seconds, but then I get the message error "an unknown error has occurred."  What should I do?

    There is a problem with these models of Leica cameras providing accurate information in the EXIF data F stop. Photomerge for HDR and Panorama will use this information to "mix" the image files. A solution has been found using an EXIF here Editor:

    This may or may not be the source of your problem, but worth investigating. Try to use any other device non-Leica and do a quick test Panorama or HDR and see if you get the same message.

    BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
    If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
    Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
    Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.

    NOTE:
    in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.

    I deleted the files that I no longer use of haven't used in a year or two. I also deleted some files that I have no use for out the files in the folder my documents. I even emptied my recycling bin to help clear up some disk deespace, still nothing.

    I tried the suggestions that are currently on the forum, but do not always help.

    When I went to manually download updates an error pops up saying "Package of Installation failed."

    Help, please. I need of new suggestions or something.

    I had to disable the "User Account Control" (UAC), which allows you to run as administrator in Vista.  After that I turned it off, all 4 of these updates installed and it doesn't require manual installation.   Follow these steps:

    In the case of Vista view:

    1.) go to start; Control Panel; "User accounts and family safety"; User accounts.
    2.) click on 'Enable user account control or disable' (last point on the page)
    3.) clear the checkbox "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and click "OK."
    4.) restart the computer, and then run the installation of the system and they work.

    If you are in Classic view:

    1.) go to start; Control Panel; Security Center
    2 screen.) in the "Windows Security Center", go to the last item "User Account Control" and click the button to turn off.

    You can also see the security shield in your Start menu.  You can also access the UAC via this.

    After that the installation of the system have been updated, make sure that you go back and turn the UAC "" and then restart your computer so that unauthorized updates do not occur.   Always try this turn off if install doesn't work.

  • I created a new administrator user account that has replaced the original one. Now I can not access my old files. What can I do?

    Windows XP Professional

    I found that will help you solve your problem,
    the original instructions have been written by Shenan Stanley

    Re: Main administrator account appearing not
    If you can connect with the new account that you created (which should be an administrator account as well) then go directly to step 2 below.

    I suppose that you use the administrator account as your main account (bad
    idea anyway) and that means that you probably have Windows XP Professional * and *.
    somehow enabled the guest account or create a new account - or
    installed some patches that created a new account - as .NET.

    I guess also that (since you say "appear") you also use the 'Welcome' screen
    opening of session instead of the classic logon.

    (1) restart the system. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE twice on home
    screen. Type in "Administrator" (without the quotes) as the username
    and do not put in any password and logon. Work?

    (2) or follow the instructions below to add the administrator account of
    the Welcome screen * or * download/use TweakUI to choose that is visible on
    the screen of welcome and even set automatic logon if you want.

    How to add a user to the Welcome screen logon page:
    ------
    1. start regedit.exe (start--> RUN--> REGEDIT--> OK)
    2. navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t.

    3. on the Edit menu, select new, DWORD value.
    4. type administrator as the name, and then press ENTER.
    5 double-click on the new value it the value 1 and click OK.
    6. close the registry editor.

    The administrator account will now appear on the Welcome screen. You can use
    These same steps to control other accounts listed on the welcome
    screen. The value of the registry value to 1 to display an account or account 0 for
    hide an account. For example, to hide the user Bob account, add a value
    named "Bob" in the registry key identified in step 2, then set the value to 0.

    You can do the above with the Microsoft TweakUI PowerToy.

    Method 2 of Microsoft:
    TweakUI for:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...PowerToys.mspx

    control userpasswords2 method:
    (1) go to the Start Menu and run the box.
    (2) type the following:

    Control userpasswords2

    Now click on OK
    (3) in the new Windows that appears select the account you want to make the
    opening main session.
    Now, uncheck the box "users must enter a user name and password... ».
    (4) hit apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
    user password.
    Click OK when you have finished...
    ------

    I hope this gets you where you are wanting to be.

    It's a * good * thing in the field of the user to:
    (1) have strong passwords.
    (2) have more than one account to administrator (with strong passwords).

    I know - you are the "only one who lives there, the only person who uses your.
    computer'... etc. Large. When your House is burgled and computer


    stolen (physically or virtually)<- you="" may="" be="" thinking="">

    But it's an individual choice. You get to evaluate risk. =)

    As noted, my motherboard has failed.  IDE only AGP CPU core.  Not much use trying to find anotherof those.  Replaced the motherboard with a newer version.  It has SATA, multi core processor, etc.  Processor and HARD drive had to be replaced.

    My Vista home premium 32 bit running on my machine for years.  I loaded it on the upgrade with no problems.  Went to windows update and SP1 and then SP2 and all other windows updates suggest and worked very well, for a few days.
