Windows cannot check the updates for Vista
Entertainment HP Pavilion Notebook - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition. Last month, Windows didn't install updates. Went online - route taken to fix this - restore the system to an earlier date and no change. Roxio Videowave no longer works correctly as well as other software problems. Read reviews from customers online, but want to know if I need to restore my computer laptop settings before installing Windows 7? I also use Kodak Easyshare and so-called Pinnacle 10 compatible according to what I read. If please inform and let me know what I should do before installing. Thank you very much for your help.

If Vista is having a problem with updates there is a very small chance that the upgrade to Windows 7 will not solve the problem. A shop to factory settings which will certainly solve. However if you plan to keep all data and applications a restore to factory settings or Windsows 7 "Custom / Clean ' install means that you must first backup all your data to external media files, then after cleaning install you will need to reinstall all your applications.

Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code
Hello
Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.
The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.
I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.
The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?
I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).
I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:
1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)
2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).
3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).

After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?
Hello Irfan,
Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate. Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me. On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers. Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric. I tried to enter only and does not pass. This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID. Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think? If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.
Keep up the good work,

Vista SP 2 x 86 32 bit
Compac Presario SR2180 NX
disk defragmented
the disk check run without error
Registry verified
Norton Internet Security 2011
Norton Utilities 14
1 single antivirus running
A previous audit of update 27/09/11. I downloaded and installed manually updates failed. I followed all the links from Microsoft and others. I can't always check the updates. The update is running for hours and then said: he can't check the updates. My pc can't sleep or turn off automatically. I tried the fixes recommended running but can not install them. The program runs for hours. I can only stop it by using the power button to turn it off. Everything seems to work fine otherwise. I use Norton Internet Security 2011. There are no viruses or other problems, he can find. I ran the disk check, no errors have been detected. I spent hours trying to solve this problem. Every step seems to take me one step closer to an answer, but not enough to solve the problem. Any ideas? The updates have been downloaded and has not installed were all related to the .NET Framework 4.0. NET 4.0 has been installed on my PC in 2009.
Hello
Tried all of these options with no improvement. Stumbled upon an answer that described enter deeply into the Windows registry. (I do not remember where it was.) I had checked before, some of these files, but not these. Some of the updated files were missing. I backed up everything and put the recovery disk in. Success at last! My PC and I are both happy now. I'll bring back had more than 100 updates that should be downloaded and installed. I didn't know if I'd do them all at once, so I started with some of the older ones, but they have not all install. Then checked to install them all. Updates made in the order of most importance and in the right order needed. I had to do some updates more than he has found since then. I am really satisfied with the result. I'm going to put programs and files back on my PC for some time, but I'm not tearing my hair. Maybe this will help someone else. Thanks for the suggestions, all help to improve my knowledge about computers. -

Error code Windows Update 80070490 and the message "Windows cannot check the updates.
Windows Update 80070490 error code appeared yesterday (21 September 2013) and the message "Windows cannot check for updates. I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit, Service Pack 2. I tried almost all the suggestions on the Internet (including on Microsoft Web page) on this way to solve this problem, including Microsoft fixed it, the update of the system, file Windows Update DIAGCAB Diagnostics tool and etc, but still getting the message. The last successful update was on 13.09.2013. All updates done before and September 13 are written as a 'success' in the folder "Update history", but when I open the folder "Installed updates", I don't see anything and it says "no update are installed on this computer", which is strange, because at the moment, Windows Update was made automatically without any problem. Please help me to solve the problem with this error code.

Windows cannot check the updates on my computer.
My computer has been cut all the time lately I went to see if I needed to install the updates and it turns out that my computer has not been updated in months and it can even search updates. What should I do? The diagnosis does nothing for me. It is said that the error is unknown.
It's about 5 months since I am able to install an update.
See...
Help: I got hacked. Now what should I do?
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal 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) won't fix this!
HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3
Once installed the clean, 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) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspxNB: The 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 before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.
1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
2 uninstall the application from McAfee via Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Programs & features | Uninstall a program.
3. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
4. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart & install your new anti-virus application.
If cost is a factor, consider one of these free antivirus applications: Microsoft Security Essentials. Avira AntiVir; Avast5. I wouldn't recommend any program McAfee, Norton or AVG.
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.
