• "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

  I've been looking for a solution for several weeks now. Many people seem to have the same problem. But no one has yet been able to solve the problem.

  First of all, let me clarify the problem explicitly:

  In the Add Printer Wizard: "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

  Specifically, the problem is that Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard. (Windows Update, otherwise works fine. But not in the Add Printer Wizard.)

  Find a workaround to add the printer, which mostly does not work what I have read, would be only to solve the secondary problem of the addition of this printer. Except, it would not solve the main problem which is Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard.

  Details:

  I have been setting up three new PC running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I had to add an old LaserJet 5if connected to a former print server. I created the IP Standard port, then clicked on the "Windows Update" button to update the list of printers. It worked on the first perfectly, as it has in the past with other computers to this place. Then I started to work on the other two at the same time. I'm lazy and started to perform several tasks such as installation of MS Office, Security Essentials (less than 10 units at this office, BTW), etc. while the Add Printer Wizard was updating the list of devices. One of these things, I can't remember which, required a reboot.

  And that is where I am certain that things broke. Restart has occurred while the two computers are in the middle of the list of loading from Windows Update System. I not interrupted the first PC. But the other two were interrupted and now they can't get a current list of Windows Update.

  I tried the FixIt tool at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 . He says he detects a problem and claims to have fixed. Except, it isn't - little matter how many times I run.

  Ideally, the FixIt tool above must be updated or a new tool must be created by Microsoft to resolve this particular problem. Type of the error in any search engine, and you will see this question from several years back. It's happens often enough to justify the creation of Microsoft or update a FixIt tool.

  Any thoughts would be helpful.

  I have exactly and that no ONE reads what you say or what other people say everywhere. Only the upgrade Assistant printer does not... The update of the Printer Wizard do not work. Windows Update works fine.

  Ronday,
  You are right that if few people read what they respond to these forums. That's the kind of non-response, I found everywhere on the Internet about this issue. (The value of the community is sometimes over-rated, if you ask me). Apparently, using characters fat is not enough to focus on the fact that the issue is not with the printer compatibility since, as I said clearly A) this printer has installed fine several times in the past with the same OS and in the same office and B) that I clearly THE issue is that updated the list of devices , in the Printer Wizard, *Do NOT*!  
  However, I came across a suggestion on another site. I haven't had the chance to try it at the location of this particular customer - I'll do it later this month. Here is the link to the suggestion for you to try as well. Scroll to the end to ignore any non-response:

  Hi, most likely caused by one installation failed (not the Wizard), you need to do a bit of detective work, lets first try the easy solution: -.

  1. go to start, run and type regedit.

  2. go to the registry editor for

  HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\installer\inprogress.

  3. click the inprogress key and note the name of the file contained on the

  right to databasepath (must be .msi extension).

  4 rename inprogress oldinprogress.

  5. close the registry editor.

  6. open my computer.

  7. navigate to C:\Windows\Installer (Installer file is hidden by)

  par_defaut, views folder check "show files and folders" also uncheck "Hide protected system files", do not forget to cancel it when you're done)) and rename the file noted in step 3.

  8 restart the computer and try the installation again.

• DJ 6122 installation: Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update

  Try to load the printer driver for HP DeskJet 6122 on Win7 64-bit (Intel i7 - 2640M). All online sources, including HP say is another driver for DJ 990c driver required and is available by clicking on "Windows Update" in the dialog box, install printer driver. In doing so, always get message "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later".

  These steps solved the problem:

  1. open (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager

  2. click on tab of abuse, then Services button (bottom-right)

  3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

  4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

  5. open the Exploper window and browse to C:\Windows

  6 delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

  7. go to Manager tasks then Services, right click on "Windows Update", then select start.

  Then, return to the add printer function.   Be patient, it will take several minutes.  You will find that the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder has been rebuilt.

• Get "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later"

  Trying to load the printer driver for HP DeskJet 990c on Win7 64-bit (Intel i7 - 2640M). All online sources, including HP say pilot is available by clicking on "Windows Update" in the install printer driver dialog box. In doing so, always get message "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later".

  Windows Update is set to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them".
  Downloaded and extract full X 86 driver catalog (X 86 - all - 4189_1228a7cf7b1aac21346b20cb6e21db409dde9e72.cab) from the Windows Update site http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspxcatalog. 'Disc', stated in the dialog of the printer driver install and selected prnhp001. INF, received immediatelt message this specified folder does not compatible device driver.
  Also tried to do the same thing with the IA64 catalog (IA64-all - 4190_6e0f85bb67d0038a6406fc71b777a1906a87888c.cab), not surprisingly has the same result.
  Also tried to do the same thing with the AMD64 catalogue (AMD64-all - 4188_bacd1413e93b4a6362d9a2ca653c869f1c02f6f7.cab) and curiously that appear additional list catalog successfully. However, when choosing hp deskjet 990 c, as soon as the driver begins to install the error box appears saying "printer driver not installed, the operation may not be completed (error code 0x00000002).
  Cannot find any other relevant catalogues on the site Windows Update Catalog (which is X 64).
  Have tried to launch MicrosoftFixit.wu.RNP.85259331246416206.3.1.Run.exe, which is worth 1 point fixed, but has no effect on the problem.
  A short of ideas. How can I get my hands on 990c driver for Win7 - 64 Intel?
  Thank you.

  A soft reset is performed on your computer Z22.  Look for the small "Reset" button on the back of the unit and press it with the tip of your pen or a paperclip.

  Reset draw your Palm.  Try to HotSync again.

  HotSync Manager is what your computer to connect to the computer Z22.  Do you see the HotSync icon in the lower tool bar?  If this isn't the case, you can not connect.  Go here:

  Start Manager button / all programs/Palm/HotSync.  This selection must load the HotSync Manager.

  I would help you with HotSync Manager, but you neglected to answer my question on "What version of Palm Desktop?"

  I get the error: "year error has occurred, please try again later" when you try to view videos youtube on Firefox.
  I tried to use Google Chrome and everything's good about it.

  Things I've tried:

  • Clearing cookies, history etc.
  • Removal of cookies.sqlite
  • Re-installed a new Firefox
  • Re-installed Flash Player 14
  • Get rid of Flash Player 14 and returned to Flash Player 11

  None of this has worked.

  I get the error for all videos to youtube every time, it is not a random phenomenon.

  I'm really frustrated by it because Firefox is my favorite browser and now I am forced to switch to Chrome.
