XP - error Code: 66A (cannot install updates)
Since October 14, updates have failed. Ox66A error message
Hi Bertie2,
Method 1
I suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.
How to reset the Windows Update components?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Method 2
If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you try to manually install updates and check.
(a) click Start, all programs, and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
(b) on the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site, click view update history.
(c) in the status column, find the update failed and note the number of the Knowledge Base article that is associated with this update.
Once you know the update's KB number then visit the Microsoft Download and put the number in the search box, download and install the update manually.

I hope this helps!

Register or reinstall the files for me now(recommended)
Let me read it on other measures that may be required to solve the problemI chose the recommended option, it showed, it has been downloaded files, then save, then he returned to the foregoing. I left alone.
Next Windows Defender would not be updated and gave me the error code 80040154, I uninstalled it. Tried to scan the laptop using Windows Live One Care Web Site. From the beginning of the download, it stopped and gave error code 80040154, I installed Windows Security Essentials, when it finished installing he tried to update and gave error Code 80040154. Finally, I timed it trying to update Windows from the update site, check the update log and you guessed it. IT FAILED DUE TO THE ERROR 80040154.
Recently, I tried to reinstall Windows Live Messenger and I can't connect because of why? WHY? 80040154 ERROR CODE!

Error code: 80070426 - (cannot install updates)
I just got an error yesterday, on 9 November, that windows could not download automatic updates so I clicked on the Update icon in my system tray and tried to run the updates manually. I got the Error 80070426 and with repeated tests there I cannot get updates. According to the automatic updates, I have not received new updates since October 10.
I also checked my security settings and noticed that my Windows Defender has been exceeded. If I try to update Windows Defender, I also have an error saying that it cannot be updated with the error code 0x80070426.
I looked at the code Error 80070426 on knowledge base and followed the steps here to try to fix. Disk cleanup has no effect. Whenever I try to validate my copy of windows, it says:
This copy of Windows has failed the genuine validation.
An unauthorized change was made to your Windows license or software installed on this computer is not currently compatible with Windows Vista.
I tried to run as administrator command prompt and get an error for this as well. It is said: The Software Licensing service could not be started. A system error has occurred. 2 system error has occurred. The system cannot find the specified file.
This computer was originally shipped with XP, but earlier this year, I installed Vista with a copy bought in the store after I had problems with my operating system and could not run the XP restore disks sent to me by HP or those that I did after that I bought this computer. When I first installed Vista the computer has a large. However, after about 2 months, I started to have the blue screen of death, and my computer shuts off and restarts automatically when the blue screen comes up. I was never able to locate files error on my computer so I do not see what is causing the blue screen and the screen is not upward on my computer... maybe it's here for a second before a restart of my computer. I don't know what is causing my computer to act like that. I ran all kinds of virus scans, ad-aware scans, keylogger scans, etc., and nothing ever comes I have a Trojan horse or any kind of virus. Either something is seriously steeped in this machine that I was unable to find or my system some how became unstable at any given time.
You can give me any help would be greatly appreciated because at this point, except to buy a new computer or do a complete OS reinstall again once I'm all options or ideas.
1. contact the Iolo Support [1] and ask how you can "undo" the changes by using the component "Registry cleaner" System Mechanic.
2. after "undo" these changes, open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [2]
3. restart & test.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[1] I hope you are fluent Mandarin: Iolo is a people's Republic of CHINA (mainland China).[2] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or installed updates.

Hello
PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM BELOW:
I OFTEN GET SOME NEW UPDATES FOR WINDOWS 7, BUT WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL I MEETS THE 8007045D ERROR CODE.
Tolis,
8007045 d = "ERROR_IO_DEVICE - the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error."
Maybe your hard drive goes bad. Run chkdsk complete as follows:
Open 'my computer '.
right click on the C: drive, select "Properties".
Click the tab "Tools".
Click on "check now".
check * two * check boxes, and then click Start.
Follow the instructions to restart windows.
Before Windows recharge, it will run a full chkdsk, which can take an hour or more. take note of all the reported errors: if it says that it has replaced bad clusters in file, these files could now be corrupt.
If there is a lot of mistakes, you should you consider backup of your data files, fitness and installing a new version of windows.

Vista - Error Code: 8007041D (cannot install updates)
I use Vista 32 bit and it drives me crazy. I've never had a problem with the Windows updates until recently when I was bombed by mistake D 8007041 and virtually no updates by installing.
About whenever I boot my laptop, it takes about 30-45 min to start up as a round trip you have windows important updates begins. The updates are downloaded and show as installed until it restarts and I get the message "updates were not correctly configured. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.
Later I check the update history, and every update has failed (i.e. 90% of updates) a 8007041D error code.
The latest to be affected are:
KB2158563 KB980436, KB981997 KB975558 KB2160329, KB982799, KB983589, KB981852, KB982214, KB905866.
I tried a fixit from Microsoft with a similar complaint, who reported "the windows service install could not be accessed. This can happen if windows install is not properly installed. Contact us your support staff for assistance. » ???
If anyone has an idiots guide to fix this growing problem, I would be very grateful. However, I speak swahili more as I do computer (I can say hello in Swahili and that it is), then please go easy on me and be silly.

Windows 7 - error code: 80070246 (cannot install updates)
Original title: Windows 7 update has failed.
I have 10 updates that must be installed, and it continues to fail. I get the error code 80070246. I tried a .net removal fix suggested in another post, rename c:\windows\softwaredistribution, manually download the updates (which also failed), sfc/scannow have produced no results... The updates that I need to install are: KB982381, KB981078, KB982526, KB982670, KB982526, KB982670, KB978542, KB78601, KB79482, KB980218, KB971033, KB980408, KB980846 and KB981793. I tried the update of windows running as administrator thus (the account I use has administrative privileges). Pre-release candidate seems to work perfectly. Since it expired and I had to buy a copy of Windows 7, I had problems. Why this version would not work as well as pre-release?
OK, so thank you to Alex blood Support technique Microsoft. The solution to my fixing corrupt system files was to run the installation on my Windows DVD install and choose the option 'Upgrade. ' I backed up all my documents in case where, but my system remained intact. I didn't format my hard drive and reinstall Windows, so I am grateful that this solution worked. I just someone would wish he suggested earlier.
