Windows update is not functional / work after a clean install on the XP Machine

I have a desktop Dell Dimension 4700 old, with Windows XP Edition family and SP 2 installed.

It's basically an extra computer upload us pictures, etc.

I finally decided it was time to wipe the hard drive and return the PC as long as you plant.  I used the "Dell PC Restore method" - using Ctrl + F11, then following the instructions.

So far, it seems to have worked.

However, one of the first tasks I want to do is start installing the windows updates (this machine has been built in 2004).

Here is the error I get:


Microsoft Update

I don't think that microsoft Update site is down, I can access it with my other machines.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the clarification on the caveat that the download must be used for professionals... below... I will try a download anyway.

It is now the only way to get SP3 installed, regardless of your technical ability and IT environment.

  • Licensing has stopped working after a clean install of the operating system for CS4

    I did a clean install on my Mac Pro, now my CS4 doesn't work anymore. Gives me error code 150:30 (licensing has stopped working). I can't disable it on this computer because the help option is not available. So I can't turn it off before you uninstall and then reinstall. What is the best way to get this working again please? This is the Suite of Master CS4. Thank you...

  • Windows Update will not start work until I run the update utility.

    Original title: Windows 8 - Windows Update

    I have a desktop with Windows 8.  Pre-installed - computer is 1 year.

    Whenever I run my Windows Update to download/install updates - it always shows as downloads but it comes in fact does nothing and just "of the acts' as is the download but nothing happens.  Then I run the windows update convenience store (in Control Panel) and he told me that the problem is "fixed".  So I run windows update again and it works.

    But the next time it's the same thing as above - doesn't work - run the troubleshooter, and then it works.  I need to run the troubleshooter and to resolve the problem, almost everytime before the windows update will work.

    How can I get a permanent fix?

  • Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key not working after a clean install of Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

    Any ideas?

    Hi taxwiz,.

    I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

    Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
    Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

  • Re: Satellite P305-S8820 - FN key does not work after a clean install of Windows 7

    I have a problem with a Satellite A210-103. After installing the Toshiba value added package (cards Flash Support Utility) unavailable for A210, reboot, reboot Toshiba Flash Cards and by pressing the FN key several times the problem still exist.

    There must be other reasons why so many users have problems with the FN keys.

    John

    Hello John

    This with the FN keys can be really problematic. I got my Satellite A300 luck with FN feature.
    What you can try is to check if the Flash memory card support utility is available for your laptop model, or maybe A200.

    Try to install, reboot the laptop and check again the feature keys FN.

  • Disk DVD - RW does not work after a clean install of Win7

    I did a clean install of Win7 on my Acer Asprire 5738 yesterday, and I noticed this particular problem today, I needed to use the DVD player, which is a Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA device.

    The problem so far, is that it is a law to disappear each time the hard drive turns down, so, for example, I put a game disc, for the installation, the drive appears in my computer folder, the drive will turn up, and start the installation until it, lets say, I need to insert a license key... the disc will spin down and slowed down and then will disappear from the system.

    I checked the properties on the material tab and it shows 2 devices, one is the device which is installed, that is, Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA

    Manufacturer: CD-ROM Standard

    Location: Location 0 (channel 1, Target 0, Lun 0)

    Device status: unknown

    under this scheme, the other is listed as a WDC WD2500BEVT - 22zCT0 ATA as a type of hard drive

    Manufacturer: (standard disk drives)

    Location 0 (Channel 0, Target 0, Lun 0)

    Status of the device: this device is working properly

    I don't know what is the 2nd unit, that I have only one hard disk, and also, I do not know why the transition from vista home to a full HARD disk format and then install win7 would cause such a problem...

    any help would be greatly apreciated

    Hello Nostrildarmus,

    I suggest that you run the CD burning, DVD and Blu ray discs convenience store which will automatically diagnose and solve common problems related to CD/DVD players.

    a. open the reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu ray discs store by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting.

    (b) in the left pane, click Show all and then click on reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu ray discs.

    You can also follow the link below and run them the Fix - it will automatically correct problems associated with CD/DVD drive:

  • Windows updates has shown installation but when checked 0kb installed and the icon was missing from the tray (Win XP sp3 IE6)

    original title: another missing Windows updates missing yellow icon (Win XP sp3 IE6)
     
    I'm having the same problem also.

    Windows XP sp3 with IE6. All updates applied excluding this last batch with the numbers you mention, except for two of them.
    I can tell you that, just as usual, the yellow icon was present when downloading these updates were. Then he disappeared after that that they have been fully downloaded.
    Interestingly, I went to Microsoft Update to check to see the new updates and found downloaded after checked for updates, BUT when I dropped down the details for them they all showed 0 KB!
    Here are the updates, that he sent to me (last
    Ko
    2559049
    2567680
    2566454
    2562937
    8900380
    2570222
    2536276
    and the MSE customer update kb 2544035.
    The only one who showed no 0Ko was a MS Security Essentials client update number kb2544035 with 7kb.
    I tested two updates from win xp to see if they would be set up and they did, here are the numbers... .kb8900380 and kb2567680
    kb8900380 is the edition of August 2011 of malware removal tool.
    I tested and found that it was actually installed and worked.
    Just one thing. I noticed on restart every time the yellow icon appears in the status bar but only flashes for a second or two, then
    disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.
    I then checked the taskbar customize notification and I found that it presents itself as an element of the past and said that it is associated with the download of updates.

    Syed N:

    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
    I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
    Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
    I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
    You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
    Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
    Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
    Finally, Syed:
    If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
    I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.
    PA bear:
    Also thank you for your suggestions. I didn't know that MSE is a culprit in this issue, but you never know.

    After a new installation of Vista 64 Ultimate w/SP1, download and install SP2.  Several updates auto installed without problem, but the languages other than English are not being offered as if they were on the previous installation.  I have deparately need to install one of them.
    How can I get the update to bring me languages?  MUI, I think they are.

    Microsoft said that SP2 with full language support will not be available until later.

    I suspect that this is your problem.

  • Netflix in MCE does not work after a clean install of Vista Ultimate

    Having had a lot of problems trying to Netflix in MCE works, I decided to start over.  I did the following:

    1. installed new, clean Windows Vista Ultimate w / SP2 x 86, directly from MSDN Downloads.

    2 set up the wireless internet connection.

    3. start MCE.  Internet configuration and automatic downloads.  A ran 'download now '.  (How know when it is done?)  Waited a while.

    4 restarted MCE.  Netflix is there.  A run 'Install' to Netflix.  After it installed Netflix MCE and Silverlight, MCE restarted.  No Netflix! Tried the option 'download now '.  No effect.

    5 download and install the cumulative patches for MCE.  Restrarted machine and Netflix.  No Netflix.

    6 left MCE.  As an administrator, run "start/wait mcupdate-u - nogc ' from the command window.  No Netflix.

    I tried this twice, so it is reproducible.  Microsoft PLEASE help!

    Thanks for the reply.  After much gnashing of teeth, I finally got Netflix for work in MCE.  My current problem is, when I try to connect to Netflix to MCE, I get the error "there was a problem of signing.  Check your connection Internet is working and try again. »

    I tested my Internet from MCE and it works.

    I thought that maybe the patch you suggest would help, so I applied it and several others listed on the downloads page (KB957209 KB958653, KB977864, KB932818, 941229 KB967632, KB982480.)  I then followed the patches with the additional steps above.  I can not connect to Netflix to MCE - same error.
