I diagnose the network connection and he came back with no problems found. I can download & install Microsoft Security Essentials, but I get error 0x80072EFE when I try to update. Note: MSE seems to update on its own, but not via the update button. I reset IE8 by default as well as the windows firewall and the IP (Winsockfix.exe) stack

  I also ran several different viruses, malware and Trojan scanners and all are own return. (AVG, Norton Security scan, MSE. I tried to run the scan to Microsoft Live, but the page froze when I tried to download it. It seems that any Microsoft Security site is blocked for some reason any. A Hijack log is available if needed?

• Windows backup will fail with the error code: 2147942402

  Hello

  I'm trying to run a backup on a Windows SBS Server 2008 using Windows Server Backup to an external 2 TB USB hard drive - I chose the backup once and personalized with "activate System Recovery."

  This fails with an error message "the system cannot find the file specified" after having transferred about 28.23 GB of data.

  The Event Viewer error code: 2147942402

  I tried to run the backup to another device (a disk on a PC on a network) and it successfully without any problem which seems to me some kind of problem with the USB key.

  I came across these links: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979281 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972 - but the server I use does not have a USB Host Controller NVIDIA - instead, there "Intel(r) ICH9 Family USB Universal Host Controller" - so I'm hesitant to try this fix.

  I'll reformat the USB drive to see if that helps...

  Thank you very much

  Day before yesterday I did a reset (this was described to me, basically as a reformatting of all readers and a reinstallation of original software) on my desktop HP with Vista x 64.  Yesterday, I was doing the Microsoft Updates (I think he had 101 in total which stood for me).  All of the except KB951847 installed correctly.  When he reached KB951847 it says it failed with the error code 80200053.

  I read on another thread that security antivirus software or others could cause this problem, but I still have to install it all because I read that it can interfere with some updates from Microsoft.

• Windows 7 backup fails with the error code: 0x8078012D

  I ran several backups on my external hard drive without problem, but I am now constantly a backup failure with an error code of 0x8078012D.

  How can I fix?

  Hi Helen,

  I suggest to rerun the command chkdsk (check disk) and let us know if there are bad sectors found/fixed.

  You can also see the following article for more information about the disk check:

  Check a drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

   

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Also, make sure that the Volume Shadow Copy service is running.

  Follow the steps below:

  a. click Start.

  b. type Services in start search.

  (c) in the search for Services Windows shadow copy volume and the Windows backup from the list.

  d. right-click on the Service.

  e. click Properties.

  f. Select the Startup Type to Manual.

  g. click OK.

  h. now, repeat the same for the service Windows backup.

  Let us know the results.

  Method 1:

  Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  Back up the registry - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry

  Methods 1 and 2 require changes in the registry to do. Make sure that you back up the registry before you proceed.

  I would have you look at the article-

  Hey Hey Hey Doc K whadu say?

  I solved my problem;

  the problem was owner and permission on my programs, all users, the program data and my programs (86).

  As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

  What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

  Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

  -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

  I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

  USER, AUTHENTICATED USER. I was perhaps too broad.

  I took possession, and then all of the repressed, updates windows are presented themselves to install,.

  and I expect /VERIFYNOW SFC before as I mark this as running.

  I'm fairly certain VS2008 and VS2010 now repair and install.

  Hmmm... always to see funny error message in SFC...

  We need a tool to give an overview of a directory tree ownership and permissions.
