• Windows could not search for new updates (error code 80004002)

  Windows could not search for new updates and gives the error code "80004002" I tried to reinstall UpdateAgent (fatal error encountered) and I tried the MSFixIt and the automatic troubleshooter. Also tried everything to this forum and nothing helps: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/460975/windows-update-code-80004002/

  When I try the "sfc/scannow" it gives me that he can't sweep.

  I have looked everywhere and tried everything. Help me the microsoft community, you're my only hope.

  Hello

  Thank you for your update on the issue.

  Since you have already done SFC scan, I suggest you perform a repair installation (upgrade Inplace). There seems to be some corruption of system files and the repair facility should be able to fix them.

  Note: before proceeding with the installation of repair, I suggest you make a backup of all your data.

  Backup your files: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-files

  To perform a repair installation, follow the steps in the following article:

  How to perform an upgrade in Place on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2255099

  I hope this helps. Please post back your results for assistance.

• Windows could not search for new updates error Code 80248015

  Have had this problem for almost 2 months.  Windows does not have this particular error code when I did a search on their Web site.

  Clear your Temp File/Cache first upward.

  Click Start > all programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup

  http://www.WinHelp.us/index.php/Windows/enhancing-Windows-performance/free-up-disk-space-in-Windows.html>

  Better and easier to use - CCleaner.

  Download the basic build (slim) via

  The basic build (slim) does not contain the toolbar disgusted

  Cleaning DO NOT USE ANY Advanced options. TOUCH NOT THE REGISTRY. At least not for now.

  Reset

  -=-

  Make sure the hour, the date/year & time zone are set correctly

  Don't forget to set a system restore point before doing any work on your computer.

  Rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution Windows Update

  That's what I got when searched around the error 0 x 80248015

  This problem may occur if the Windows Update, software distribution folder was damaged.

  We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder.

  Please note that the file will be re-created the next time we visit the Windows Update site.

  1. close all open windows.

  2. click on the "Start" button, click "All programs" and click on "Accessories".

  3. right click on "Command prompt" and click "run as Administrator".

  4. in the window "Administrator: command prompt", type " net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  Note: Please, look at the cmd window and make sure that it is said that he was arrested with success until we try to rename the folder.

  5. click on the button 'Start' in the 'Search' box type " %windir%" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  6. in the opened folder, find the folder named "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

  7. right click on the folder, select "Rename" and type " Sdold " (without the quotes) to rename this folder.

  8. still in the window "Administrator: command prompt", type the command " net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the service Windows updates.

  Note: Please, look at the cmd window and make sure that it says it has successfully launched.

  Note: If the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

• "Windows could not search for new updates" error Code 80041054

  Almost SIX months to find a solution to this problem.  Countless emails, phone calls, try this and try that.  I bought this laptop in May and was NEVER able to perform an update.  I tried everything I can think of and everything that has been proposed in e-mail from Microsoft.  I gave up any type of phone support - repeated "disconnection".  I can't reinstall Windows Vista because it came pre-installed.  I'm really just fed up.  I bought Office and Outlook - or work correctly.  I bought some software today (Roxio VHS to DVD) and I am unable to use it because it requires an update of Windows!  I did some research on this and found others with the same problem that dates back to 2007 - not answers on the Microsoft forums!

  Any ideas?  I tried Mr. Fix - it.  I downloaded the standalone installer - took about 45 minutes of so-called 'install' - and then nothing!  He never did any kind of scan and now I can't even find it on my computer.  I'm ready to make the leap to a Mac.

• Windows could not search for new updates - error Code 80070005, please can someone help?

  I get the message above for about 6 months, really since I tried to install updates including IE9, it went to the wall. It seems that the history of all my previous updates have the problem dissappeared also.

  I searched in different forums and tried several solutions but no evail, but some people do not seem to have been lucky enough to rectify the issue even if I do not deliver hope immediately.

  I am running Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720, but I don't have any software recovery to help me as far as I know that I'm running as the administrator should therefore not be permissions issues, but please also no matter what advice would be welcome.

  If everything fails to buy Vista or a version?

  Thank you for any assistance.

  Hello

  ·        How do you try to upgrade windows 7?

  This error is an access denied error which is caused by programs such as CD/DVD burning software and security software. I suggest you to uninstall the security software and burning software that is installed on the system and check if you are able to upgrade the system. In addition to this, I suggest you install and run Windows 7 upgrade advisor on the system and check. See the article mentioned below.

  Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/UpgradeAdvisor

  and the given below link gives the system requirements for Windows 7.

  Windows 7 system requirements

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/system-requirements

  Note: Install the security software on the system once you have done the upgrade of the system.

  Thanks and regards.

• I installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  Launching, a popup appears, which says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR has OCCURRED.  Could not create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom / develop Presets. "E Yes

  I installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  Launching, a popup appears, which says: "AN INTERNAL ERROR has OCCURRED.  Could not create the required folder: /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Lightroom / develop Presets. "So even if Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch.  What should I do to allow him to launch?

  I had the same problem, just bought a new Macbook Pro (June 2015) and Lightroom CC had this error as well.  Here is the dialog box that I've had with Adobe, and it cures the problem:

  Adobe: Please click on the search option in your Dock at the bottom of the screen.

  Adobe: Then click GO on the MenuBar at the top of the screen.

  Adobe:, and then click GO to folder, and then type: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe /.

  Scott: OK, I did

  Adobe: Control-click on the folder and choose read information.

  Adobe: Expand the section sharing & permissions.

  Adobe: Click on + icon, and check if the administrator select

  Scott: OK, I chose the Admin

  Adobe: Give read and write to the Admini

  Scott: completed

  Adobe: Click the gear icon and select apply changes to included items

  Scott: OK

  Adobe: In the Finder window, click GO and select GO to folder

  Adobe: Type in
  Adobe: / Library/Application Support/Adobe/ and press enter

  Scott: completed

  Adobe: Expand the section sharing & permissions.

  Scott: ok

  Scott: completed

  Adobe: Now, please try to use the Lightroom from your computer.

  Scott: Thank you - it works!

  Hope this helps others.

• Windows Vista - after the RESTORE partition HARD drive: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

  Hello

  I have WINDOWS VISTA and just tried to reinstall my laptop of restoration on a HARD disk partition.

  The restore went through, but then I got the error: WINDOWS COULD NOT COMPLETE the INSTALLATION. TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON THIS COMPUTER, RESTART THE INSTALLATION

  When I press 'OK' (which is the only option), it tries to start again, until I get the same error through the black screen.

  How can I get out of this loop please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

  This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

  ________________________________________________

  You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

  See you soon.
