Windows update website does not work

Hello...

I recently had a problem requiring a reinstall instead of XP Pro 32-bit to backrev to SP2. Basically I have been running SP3, but was constantly reminders, insistence, etc to update to IE8, and after continuous pressure, I finally said 'ok' and went ahead with it. And he threw quickly across into itself.

Accordingly, I did an uninstall of IE8, but concluded that IE7 could no longer work. After checking for a solution and try the patches recommended, nothing has worked, and since I'm at SP3, IE7 could not be uninstalled (this is possible for SP2). There is no information available for SP3 uninstall, so I had finally "repair" XP by doing a reinstall instead of booting from the XP SP2 cd. It worked pretty well, and everything was back to normal, even if I was now running IE6.

So, I had the ACR IE7 on your site and tried to install it. There is no problem during installation - no message of error - but after the reboot. I was unable to open IE7 anyway. ERGO, I had no choice but to uninstall it. Thank gawd I rarely use IE; nothing else was touched and Firefox & Acoo both work very well.

To try to resolve the problem of IE7, some "corrections" for "IE7 will not run" involve open IE7 and perform certain tasks. Seems to be quite a task: IE7 will not run, so go ahead and open and... Riiight. Anyway, I don't have the tools of correction for reset and disable add-ons, but unfortunately, they specify that I must first install SP3. No way will reinstall SP3 until I see IE7 work @ SP2; Simply much too, it would mean an extra effort to do a re-install of SP2.

I'm ready to install other patches, although I noticed that nothing has been downloaded after I backrevved to SP2. As a result, I went to windowsupdate.microsoft.com do updates manually. He installed the required ActiveX control, analysis, and then returns the following message is displayed:

"The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem.

For self-help options:

To support options:

So I am now running SP2 and everything seems fine, except that I can't apply updates, nor can I run IE7.

Virus Info: this machine is running Microsoft Security Essentials and AVG Antivirus, and both are up to date and returned "no items found" after a FULL analysis. I also did a manual FULL scan using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (also updated to current rev & GIS files) and it is an executable placed under my login in Documents & Settings of DiVX, that triggers an application running ads when I open the DiVX player. He was NOT in the Windows directory. AVG and MSE up-to-date and run full scans every night, so if you believe it is a virus, I would need proof. You would also be admitting that MSE is wrong; I've been running for more than a year.

Caution: again, I won't install SP3 & IE8 until I see that IE7 will run correctly @ SP2, which - at least in part, it will apply updates that I can't apply. Please spare me the answer "well, updated to SP3 and IE8 first, and we'll see if that fixes it. If you're wrong, I'll be right where I started and will have to go through the process again to get where I am now, lose a lot of time in the process. I don't know if it is a community site, but please, only a response from someone who can provide real help for the problem of why the update site simply says there is a problem, but does not provide any additional information about the error.

Yes, I know that XP will support discontinued from April 2013. It is now Sept 2012.

Thanks in advance for any help legitimate that you can offer.

Support for XP SP2 took end July 2010 - http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean31

The Windows update website no longer unless you are at SP3. I did a new install of SP2 and verfied. The mistake that almost everyone gets in these conditions is 0x8024400A. I think that if you look at the WU error page again you will see this code.

You say that you will not install SP3 so we cannot help. You are committed to a comprehensive system of faults for the life of the PC. If you change your opinion then we do know and I/we will try to help.

BTW XP died in April 2014 not 2013 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx

  • Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

    Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

  • 8024A 000 - Windows Update code does not work and "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer" for Vista64 reinstall

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9180t PC comes with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I had the hard drive (Seagate/Barracuda 7200, 750GB) SATA to go over me (after the expiration of the warranty of course) so I replaced it with a WD Caviar Green 1 TB drive.  When I rebooted the news of recovery disk to the new disk, VIsta worked but Windows Update does not work and I get A 8024, 000 error Code.  To worked with Microsoft to try to resolve that (never made), I am frustrated and all saved just reinstall Vista.  When I try to reinstall Vista, I now get the message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."  The installation progresses up to the stage of upgrade (a final) then I get error and it puts everything back the way I started.

    The only thing I changed hardware wise is the hard drive, so this error message seems silly because Windows runs on this material.  I even double checked that Vista is always enabled.  Anyone out there have any ideas?

  • Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

    Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

    Hello

    Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
    To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
    These programs are designed for the DVD play!

    But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
    Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

    update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    Hey lasdj,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

    To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

    Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

    Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

    See the links below for more details:
