• Problems with Windows Vista update error code I get is Code: 80096001

  Hi gang,.

  I need help I can get at this point. I am currently working on a machine to a customer who had the rootkit zero.access top. The machine works like a champ, now that it is all clean; but for some reason any Windows Vista refuses to update. Let me mention the operating system before proceeding. The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. When I try to run Windows Update, the machine has a total of seven updates to install; This is especially important and option. In the important section, the machine is trying to install a security update and that is 9. In the optional section, the machine is trying to install the driver as updates: video, network, etc. The PC is already running Service Pack2. The error code I get is: 80096001. I tried every fix that Microsoft recommends, even the Microsoft Fix It tool. Nothing seems to work. I had a simular problem before in Windows XP. If my memory is good, I had to go to the entry in the registry of Windows Update and apply a DWORD here, or something; I don't remember exactly what I did. I can tell you that I checked the registry and there is literally no key to change in Windows Update. Any help or advice would be great, this question is about to drive me crazy.

  Thank you

• My windows Vista (sp2) contains updates it refuses to install! Help, please.

  My windows Vista (sp2) contains updates it refuses to install!

  (1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows (KB2468871)
  (2) update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (KB2533523)
  and
  (3) update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB2617986) this update of Silverlight includes the fixes described in KBs 2604930 and 2617986.
  When I tried to get help via the MS support, I was told that my install Silverlight could be the problem and uninstall all previous versions and install a new one.
  The current version on my machine is 3. something or other (Google Chrome me briefly earlier, but I can't seem to tell me yet again!) He also pointed out that the current version is 5. something or other.  However, I don't know--according to the functionality of uninstall in Control Panel - my version was installed on 21/01/2010 - about 7 months after I got the satellite (a Toshiba). It occurs to me - as it has been ongoing for awhile I fought first to make this thing work and then ignore it (neither of which, it seems, I am able of!)-update Windows is trying to apply can be updated too!
  According to the update of Windows, all three of these updates have downloaded - but I am not sure where...   When I tried to uninstall the old version of Silverlight, Windows Uninstall (via Control Panel) tells me that I need the Silverlight installation disc to go ahead. I've never had one! What can I do? Why these upgrades do not work? It has been for months!  Help, please.

  • This will not work if you have the SP1 is installed unless your Vista installation DVD includes SP1, or create you a Vista SP1 slipstream installation DVD (see below). When SP1 is installed, it will give Vista a version newer than what's on the Vista installation DVD original number.
  • You can only do an upgrade installation if the currently installed Vista is a version identical or older than what is on the Vista installation DVD.
  • To create a Vista SP1 slipstream installation DVD to use to do a repair install (upgrade), see: How to create a DVD of Installation of Vista SP1 Slipstream. Note that this still does not work to use a repair installation.

• Since I installed Windows Vista is almost a year I've got dosens access folders that refuse to allow me and I am the administrator! Why?

  Currently under Vista 64-bit with Service Pack 2.
  "Records among 'Application Data', 'Cookies', 'Local Settings', 'Neighbourhood of printing', 'Recent', ' send to ', 'Start Menu', 'Templates', 'Documents & Settings', 'Office' Documents ', 'Default user' at different levels 'tree '.

  Some of these folders are junction points http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968829 (VS.85) .aspx which are NOT supposed to be accessed (they are there for backwards compatibility).  Even though you can access it, you would not make all changes because that could cause programs on your system suddenly stop working right and fixing the problem would be troublesome.

  Some files are special system folders and are blocked by permissions.  These can be replaced if necessary (but they are probably blocked for a reason to make sure you know what you're doing when you try to access - usually, this means that changes can have a negative effect on your system unless you REALLY know what you're doing).

  Some of the files you listed should be available or can be made available (possibly with modifications of permission) If you are in your profile (or an administrator in another profile).  For some of these issues, I would ask that you are trying to do - there is no reason to open some of these files.  Others, I can see the point and we can 'fix' by changing the permissions and/or property as follows:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block even against access and they serve as points of junction, for example (if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
   
  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

  I hope this helps.

• Error 80004005 by installing Windows Vista sp2 x 64

  I tried to install this updated 4 x I read an answer in this forum which is similar to my problem and I tried the solution, but it would not install.
  I noticed something this last time because I saw the installation process. We all know that the system can reboot several times during the installation. During the 3rd part of the installation, the user account screen asking for the password. However, I had no time to type the password in it, because it jumps to a screen saying that the computer is to install the updates. Then, when the updates for the 3rd party are finished 100% it is said that they can not be installed. Then the computer uninstalls them and puts the computer in its preinstallation State. Is it possible, because I didn't have a chance to enter my password, the computer refuses to recognize me as the administrater during the last part of the installation.  Therefore, maybe stop the installation process of the necessary changes and it returns to the previous state. I'm probably grasp at straws here, because I have never had a problem like this before. Does anyone know what I need to do to remedy the situation?
  I don't know if it's important but I installed another update after the 3rd time. The update has been successfully installed and working. So I thought that everything was ok and tried to install sp2 again. It's the same thing. Why can I install other updates, but not as an individual? Other than this problem installing, the computer works pretty well. I didn't notice a slow or something else for the past two weeks. I'm puzzled.

  I have an (office) Packard Bell imedia x 5705 Intel Core 2 Quad 4 x 1 GB (RAM) 2.33 GHz
  1000 gigabit hard drive
  Type system in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT130

  This computer is connected to 2 other computers with a D - Link KVM Switch. One of the other computers has a 32-bit system Intel dual core Vista sp2 running without any problem. They also share a router for internet access broadband.

  Should I try to reuse the recovery disk? I don't want to make things worse.

  Thank you, Debbie - the technical support for all your help.
  I went through all the steps mentioned above in the correct order. However, they have not corrected the problem.
  I used the Packard Bell Recovery Management options and restore my computer to its original state. Then I installed all necessary updates including sp2. I was not activate the preinstalled anti-virus software, or change programs or settings up to that later. That's the good thing. Packard Bell Recovery Management also creates a separate file for all personal files. Thus, when the computer has been reset, I still had my personal files.
