  Hello ms_frustrated,

  I recommend that you perform a repair installation.  It would be the fastest way and repair you the computer and while still keeping your documents.  PLEASE SAVE YOUR SYSTEM VISTA FIRST.  The link below explains how to perform a repair installation.  After your installation, verify that Windows update works before installing anything.

• Windows Update stopped working on my Vista system.

  Error message indicates the service is not started, but the list of services that Windows update as "started."  Rebooting makes no changes.

  Malware scan shows clean.  Norton 360 clean registry showed the key for "lack of program windows\system32\wuaucpl.cpl" and delete this key.

  How can I fix?

  My last use of this computer was in December 2011 and this is the last time I used Windows update on it, and it worked normally.

• Windows Update stopped working on Vista (Ultimate). Error code is 80070005. Difficulty?

  When I go to Windows Update and click on ' Check for updates ', the display shows "Windows could not search for new updates", than he has ever been a check for updates and have never been installed, but the latter is false, as I received it regularly until recently. Of course the possibility to connect to the updates server was lost. A part of the Vista operating system is damaged? Recently, I uninstalled McAfee and installed Norton Internet Security.  Installation of Norton were possibly affecting the ability to receive automatic updates?  What is the solution?

  I also get a message that I am not currently connected to any network, but I am actually connected to my home wireless network.  This message seems to have surfaced at same time as issue updates resurfaced.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  I'm about out of ideas here. Since running the removal of McAfee and then tool reset Windows Update did not solve the problem, this leaves us with only two choices in my humble OPINION:

  1. one or more of the measures of protection in real time from NIS are intefering (assuming that NIS installed & working properly); or...

  2. you see the effects of a hijackware infection.

  OPTION A: Contact the Support of Norton (Symantec).

  OPTION B: Carried out a thorough for hijackware.

  Otherwise...

  1. see if you can download/run the MSRT tool manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

  NB: Run the FULL scan, not analysis FAST!  You may need to download the MSRT on an uninfected machine and then transfer the MRT. EXE to the infected machine and the rename it, for example, SCAN. EXE, before being able to execute it!

  2. run this online scan (in Safe Mode with networking, if necessary):

  3. now after the required logs in an appropriate forum for assistance by an expert in the field. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

  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.

  Good luck & please keep me on any progress you make.

• Windows Update stopped working after the reactivation of Vista Ultimate 32 bit

  Cloned hard drive bigger and replaced hard drive in your laptop. Everything worked fine until I was invited to reactivate Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit), I did over the phone. Now, Windows Update does not work - service is not active. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions to fix would be appreciated. Ran Malewarebytes, Turned off update automatic and then restarted (suggested in a forum), and tried to fix with installation disc, none of them worked again.

  Five other updates have been installed with Windows Update Standalone install (an is not necessary for my system). This a better option than update mode without failure. Windows Update works now again.

• MAKE WINDOWS UPDATER STOP annoying me

  Is there a way to make Windows Updater STOP recommending an update 'Important '?  I don't use Internet Explorer, it ask me download a 8.8 MB 'security update' for IE, which I did not need.

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  Hello

  BCCode: 117 is generally a problem of display driver (video) If you need to update (check the system machine
  and the sites of the manufacturer of the device. You will need to remove and reinstall your video card a PC and not
  edge. Perhaps a replacement card is necessary.

  If necessary you can perform in SafeMode with network - repeatedly F8 tap that you start.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
