Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows.

There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  Ok...

  Download updates very well, but after that, they fail to install immediately. It seems to go so fast that he does not even try to install downloaded updates. I did everyting for repair/upgrade to update / save the components associated with the windows updates and microsoft Setup. I also deleted the cache update and downloaded fresh copies of the updates, but still no instlal. I even did a repair install on xp at a given time. The machine had a malware infection, but I healed part, including purging the master boot record and wiping the boot sector. I am really puzzled at that time and any direction would be greatly appreciated.

  It would be a good idea to run the System File Checker tool if you have corrupted files

  "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  If SFC detects serious flaws, you may need to perform a repair upgrade Installation or relocation complete if you don't have a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If you can borrow a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you save doing a reinstall full:

  "Can I format my recovery disk"D "?
  Yes you can.  Usually, the OEM factory restore option will automatically erase the drive.  You will need to check with Compaq on recovery methods they offer and how to access.

  "I have also two adapters network with yellow!  next to them in the Device Manager. I tried to uninstall, but they relocate! »
  Well, if you do a factory restore this issue should correct itself.  However, if you uninstall a hardware device, the system detects the device at startup it will attempt to reinstall.  If the network adapters are part of the motherboard you can turn them off via the BIOS.

• Update Microsoft Access impossible after disk crash

  I am running Windows XP Pro.  After a drive failure, I recovered using recovery HP which had been established 2 years previous discs.  Then I restored my data backups.  I now need assistance in several areas:

  1. I'm unable to access Microsoft Updates.  I gives me an error message indicating that I am not allowed to register on the site.  My o/s was purchased with the workstation
  2. I am unable to logoff or shut down the workstation.  (it seems to stop and I'm unable to click icons after I have try to logoff) I need to physically close the workstation by pressing the power button.
  3. I lost IE7 and all updates I had before the crash.

  ?? How can I access the MS Update site? - and is it possible to get all the updates that are lost including IE7 by CD/DVD rather than trying to download them (dial-up modem)
  ?? Is there a setting in the Management Console which would affect the ability of closing session or the shutdown of the PC?

  IE7 had been installed before the recovery...

  Reference:

  How to perform a repair of Windows XP installation, if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964

  Assuming that you do NOT uninstall IE7 before doing the repair facility, your only recourse is now a clean install.

  Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that another repair facility (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!
