Windows 7 update error code 8000FFFF

Howdy, I'm having a problem recently with Windows 7, do not update anything another Defender to windows then.  All other updates give 8000FFFF error code.  The latest good updates I had were 16/08/2010, then the first failures were 24/08/2010.  The only changes to my system since 08/16/2010 are the latest version of Firefox and I installed Starcraft II.  I spent hours going through the links of this error, but in almost every moment, the answers given are for windows vista that do not work for windows 7.

I did a restore of the return if the system would let me which unfortunately is 24/08/2010.  I also tried to install updates manually by receiving the same error.

Operating system = Windows 7 premium 64-bit,

Anti-anti-virus/firewall = Windows defender (had norton 360 installed, but I was told IT caused with windows defender issues used the norton removal tool to uninstall.)

It's pretty much a skeleton system, I use for games so that other then 3 games and firefox, it is has nothing in what the system did not come with installed.

Any help/ideas are much appreciated.

Thank you

Anti-anti-virus/firewall = Windows defender (had norton 360 installed, but I was told IT caused with windows defender issues used the norton removal tool to uninstall.)

Who told you that? Properly installed, Norton 360 turns off default Defender. (Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an anti-virus application.)

Since you did not have an antivirus application installed for who knows how long, chances are you see the effects of a hijackware infection. See...

Cleaning a compromised system
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

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 Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

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:

NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

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/w7repair/threads

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

    Several updates failed to install last week Windows security.  800706BE and error code 800706BA were cited as the problem.

    How can I fix it?

    Hi Libra1949,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         (Numbers KB) updates you install?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  • Problems with Windows Vista update error code I get is Code: 80096001

    Hi gang,.

    I need help I can get at this point. I am currently working on a machine to a customer who had the rootkit zero.access top. The machine works like a champ, now that it is all clean; but for some reason any Windows Vista refuses to update. Let me mention the operating system before proceeding. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to run Windows Update, the machine has a total of seven updates to install; This is especially important and option. In the important section, the machine is trying to install a security update and that is 9. In the optional section, the machine is trying to install the driver as updates: video, network, etc. The PC is already running Service Pack2. The error code I get is: 80096001. I tried every fix that Microsoft recommends, even the Microsoft Fix It tool. Nothing seems to work. I had a simular problem before in Windows XP. If my memory is good, I had to go to the entry in the registry of Windows Update and apply a DWORD here, or something; I don't remember exactly what I did. I can tell you that I checked the registry and there is literally no key to change in Windows Update. Any help or advice would be great, this question is about to drive me crazy.
