  • Windows Update Does Not Recognize Administrator
    • Vista SP1. I just completed many updates from the Windows update site. With several non critical ones left, I went back to finish. Now I can't download / install because it says I need Administrator permission. I checked user accounts and of course there is only one account listed and it being administrator, which I'm logged in on. I tried changing the account and it recognizes me as an administrator and allowed me to make changes. Applications requiring administrator work just fine but the update site does not :( As per an earlier post I read here, I ran Update Agent 3, still no joy. How can I regain update site permission. Thanks

  • Windows update scan for new updates always fails (clean XP install) - 0xC80003FA, 0x8024000E,0x800706BE
    • Hi all, I've been unable to use windows update after a fresh XP SP3 install. This is a slipstreamed disc & it has been used successfully to reinstall the OS in the past. I can connect to windows update, but the scan for new updates always fails with an error message. I have seen three different error messages 0xC80003FA 0x8024000E 0x800706BE XP installed without any issues & appears to be otherwise stable. The only software installed prior to going to windows update was MS Office & Avira (anti-virus). Negative anti-virus scan. Chkdsk /f /r & Seatools (drive diagnostic) both report a healthy drive, with no file system errors or bad sectors. Since I can't download windows updates, I did a clean reinstall of xP without installing Office & Avira, but still get the same windows update errors. My initial thought was KB 943144 where SP3 machines couldn't connect to windows update because Wups2.dll wasn't registered properly. Didn't help. I also tried registering regsvr32 wuapi.dll regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wuweb.dll The 0xC80003FA error is discussed in KB 916258. It suggests deleting a presumably corrupt SoftwareDistribution folder. No change. I also deleted the temp files, cookies, history & related windowsupdate status key. I didn't find anything in the KB about the 0x8024000E error. But a Google search suggested that it might be solved by running system file checker. Didn't help. And the 0x800706BE error has hundreds of KB hits, relating to the remote procedure call (RPC) service. But I didn't see anything specfici to windows update. I did confirm that the RPC & background intellegent transfer service were running. One MVP suggested trying changing the RPC service login from a WINNT system to a local user login, but it didn't make a difference for me. My windowsupdate logs are rather large at this point, but what I think are the relevant portions are appended below. I would be grateful for any insight into this or suggestions on how to proceed.

  • Stuck on error message 80240016
    • Hi everyone, and thanks for the useful info in this group. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and cannot get Windows Updates at present. The update symbol is permanently in my system tray with the message 'Windows can't check for updates'. When I try to run it I get error message 80240016 'Windows Update is currently installing updates. Please try again in a few minutes'. The 'available update' which claims to be waiting to be installed is Windows Vista Service Pack 2. It has been stuck like this for weeks, and always returns the same message. I would be most grateful for any suggestions as to how to remove this block and get updates running again. Thanks.

  • Trouble downloading update KB953297
    • The automatic update on my computer keeps telling me that this upgrade is ready to download, but every time I try to download it, it fails. When I check for updates on the Microsoft website, it lists this update as an option, but the size of the file is shown as 0KB. My computer has failed to download this update 20 times already this month. How do I get it to stop trying to download an update that has nothing in it?

  • My comp cuts off every 15 minutes after I install "important" upda
    • I know that there may be 1000 people on here who have already asked this question, but in my case, I don't have the time to search for that answer. The reason I don't have time is this... For about the past 5 years, I have owned 3 different comps, and have had XP or Vista running on them. Every time I install the updates for my system, or I let the system update automatically, every 15 min. after the updates take effect,WITHOUT FAIL, my computer restarts itself!! I will then go into the control panel and completely reset my comp back to the last checkpoint that was made before the auto update. I have tried every single thing conceivable to remedy this! I am by no means computer illiterate, but this is killing me here!! So now, I never allow my computer to update, and that keeps my computer on when I need it to be. My wife's family has a friend, that's an IT guy, that sets up the comp networks for large businesses. This guy's entire life is dedicated to setting up, and maintaining large comp networks, and when he came to my home and I showed him the whole process, he had no idea what was causing it. He went so far as to take my comp for 4 days, back to his home to figure it out and he couldn't!! So I'm hoping there is someone on this website that knows more than him, and can give me some type of solution for this problem, or can at least tell me I'm out of luck and never install updates on my computer!! hahaha Thanks!!!!!!!!

  • Failed windows update - KB976884 and KB976416
    • Automatic windows update failed to install the above two updates. Error code 646 came up. I downloaded the two updates from Microsoft website and tried manual install and the result is same with error code 646 and the message 'this package failed to install'. I have vista business and MS Office 2007. The above two updates are related to MS Office 2007 (Infopath 2007 and Outlook 2007) I hope some one can come up with a solution or probably already has one?!! I ended up going round and round on the web and also on microsoft website. Thanks in advance.

  • WU on Win 2003 fails with 0x800706b5
    • I attempt to run Windows Update on a Win 2003 SP2 server. The home page displays successfully. At that point, whether I click on "Express" or "Custom" the next page displayed says - "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

  • Win 2008 x64 hangs up installing KB970430
    • I have an hyper-v virtual server (win 2008 x64 enterprise) with iis and multiple ip addresses. After installing the following updates: KB970430 KB971737 KB973917 KB890830 the system stop during reboot (the screen keeps showing update 0% 3/3). I tried to restart a clean backup copy of the virtual machine and tried to reinstall the updates and find out that I got the same problem with KB970430 only. Stopping the machine and restarting it in safe-mode, installation completes but starting again, several services do not start, I can't open internet explorer, network properties and some other windows, the network trayicon shows that the network is connected but I can still ping another host...

  • updater in system tray disappears
    • Windows XP SP3, IE7 When the icon for windows tray appears telling me I have updates, I click on it, chose custom, and chose the updates I wish to install. It starts downloading the updates, and the icon disappears, but never comes back to let me install the updates. -- Even if I reboot. So if I go into IE and choose Windows Update tool, I select the updates I want. After these have downloaded again, all of a sudden the icon appears again in the system tray, like, oh -- I forgot -- you can install these updates now. At this time I usually just let IE7 install the updates. This is mostly a minor annoyance, but just curious, as to what could be causing this behavior.

  • Help Needed for windows Vista after a Update was downloaded
    • Hi, Hoping someone can help me... I tried downloading a microsoft "update" a few days ago, I dont remember what the update was for, just that the size of it was over 700 .. In the middle of the download, it said I didnt have enough space.. yet it continued to download what it could. At the end of it, it said that there was 1 other component that needed to download, yet failed.. and to try again. At which point, I did, and it said it was successful.. yet, after rebooting the system, it hangs and when I try and do anything word, or other.. it comes up with a error message that says "Windows Installer (or could be) Windows update explorer has stopped, this window will close out" At which point you have a choice to close it or x out of it and try and continue to work.. Problem is.. the error msg keeps coming back up I am running windows vista on a laptop. Service Pack 2 Any Suggestions would greatly be apprciated! Thank you... Susan

  • Server 2003 update problem
    • This server is running server 2003 sp2, hasn't been updated in quite a while, was a terminal server but not any more. When I run windows update it wants to install a new version of update. It fails with error 0x8024D007. I tried a few troubleshooting steps I found online without success. One of these was to unregister and re-register wuaueng.dll. It will not re-register, gives the message "dllregisterserver in wuaueng.dll failed. Return code was 0x80070514". I renamed this dll and it was recreated but still the same error. I expanded the dll from the 2003 disk to the system32 folder but it still will not register. The automatic update service doesn't exist any more as a result. I ran sfc /scannow which made no difference.

  • SP3 for Windows XP Failed
    • In reviewing my Windows Update History, I find that Windows XP Service Pack 3 Failed on 08 21 2008, but several Service Pack 3 Updates have downloaded since that date. Two Questions: 1) Why did the SP3 Update Fail, and 2) Why are the updates downloading and installing even though the Service Package Failed? This does not make sense. I just tried again to install it and it stopped downloading. Why?

  • Windows 7 64-bit Office Update in Windows Update
    • I have a new install of Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I have Windows Update running fine for Windows itself. I have installed Word & Excell from Office 2007, and have (with considerable effort) located the latest updates for them. At work, on Vista or Windows 7 Professional, the Office Update/Microsoft Updates are integrated with Windows Update, and happen concurrently - a single "check for updates" scans for all, and automatic updates picks up all. NOT so here at home... I cannot persuade Windows Update applet to show any interest in Office. When I click the "find out more" button, I get a "needs administrator privileges" error in IE8; if I disable UAC, I get the web-page for Windows Update (tells me I'm up to daye) with the tab for Office Updates, but that just shows up the useless "what people are downloading" - no priority for or gathering together of the real important security updates. What on earth do I have to do to integrate Office Update into the Windows Update applet?

  • XP and Office 2003 Updates
    • On Dec 9th, I got 9 overnight automatic updates installed for XP and Office 2003. The very next morning, my wireless adapter froze. I inserted the driver disk to reinstall, but found my CD/DVD drive wasn't working either. And I couldn't even get the computer to shut down. A hard reboot gets it all working again, but only for about 6 to 8 hours, then they freeze up again (or maybe it is caused by a few hours of inactivity). Downloaded the latest driver for the D-Link wireless adapter and reinstalled it, but to no avail. I've also got a few messages about "Window not being able to initialize the application." (Not sure which app it was refering too.) What happened with these updates that broke everything? Is there a fix? -- Bob

  • Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP2: Automatic Downloads stall on shutdown
    • This is the second time this has happened. I reformatted and reinstalled everything the first time, and am not willing to do this again. When Vista automatically downloads updates, I find that when I shutdown/restart, I get the message "Please do not shutdown or unplug your computer. Installing update 1 of XX .." The computer has stayed on this message for as long as 12 hours (it started when I left this morning and was still showing the same message when I came home), with the ".." moving thru its stages as expected. I had to force shutdown on my computer and cannot install any new programs or updates at all, now. Does anyone know why the automatically downloaded updates are stalling, and how to fix/address this problem? -- When failure is not an option, success is inevitable.

  • assistance with error 0x8024d007
    • Hi - I'm getting an error, where WU fails just after you click the Express or Custom buttons. I get error 0x8024d007. I did a little research, which let me to the Hkey_Classes_Root registry key. I checked that permissions were "full" for system and administrators (OK). Next I deleted \windows\softwaredistribution and allowed WU to recreate it. Neither solution has resolved the problem. I looked in Windowsupdate.log and see these errors. I don't know if these problems are the cause or not. Any advice appreciated. 2009-12-12 18:48:47:265 1004 13c Agent Downloading new auth cab for service 7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d at http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/redir/muauth.cab 2009-12-12 18:48:47:265 1004 13c Misc Validating signature for C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab: 2009-12-12 18:48:47:281 1004 13c Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-12-12 18:48:47:296 1004 13c Misc Validating signature for C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab: 2009-12-12 18:48:47:312 1004 13c Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-12-12 18:48:47:312 1004 13c Misc Validating signature for C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs\authcab.cab: 2009-12-12 18:48:47:312 1004 13c Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-12-12 18:48:47:328 1004 13c Agent WARNING: Failed to register auth cab for service 7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d, error = 0 2009-12-12 18:48:47:328 1004 13c Agent FATAL: Caller Default Service Recovery failed to opt in to service 7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d, hr=0X80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:500 1004 13c Misc Validating signature for C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WuRedir\9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77 \muv4wuredir.cab: 2009-12-12 18:48:47:500 1004 13c Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-12-12 18:48:47:546 1004 13c Misc Validating signature for C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WuRedir\9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77 \muv4wuredir.cab: 2009-12-12 18:48:47:546 1004 13c Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-12-12 18:48:47:562 1004 13c PT +++++++++++ PT: Synchronizing server updates +++++++++++ 2009-12-12 18:48:47:562 1004 13c PT + ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}, Server URL = https://www.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx 2009-12-12 18:48:47:843 1004 13c PT WARNING: PopulateDataStore failed: 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:843 1004 13c PT WARNING: Sync of Updates: 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:843 1004 13c PT WARNING: SyncServerUpdatesInternal failed: 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:843 1004 13c Agent * WARNING: Failed to synchronize, error = 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Report WARNING: CEventNamespaceDefinition::Init failed = 80040154. 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Report WARNING: InitReportingComponents failed: 80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Agent * WARNING: Exit code = 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Agent ********* 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Agent ** END ** Agent: Finding updates [CallerId = WindowsUpdate] 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Agent ************* 2009-12-12 18:48:47:859 1004 13c Agent WARNING: WU client failed Searching for update with error 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI >>-- RESUMED -- COMAPI: Search [ClientId = WindowsUpdate] 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI - Updates found = 0 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI - WARNING: Exit code = 0x00000000, Result code = 0x80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI --------- 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI -- END -- COMAPI: Search [ClientId = WindowsUpdate] 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e54 COMAPI ------------- 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e80 COMAPI WARNING: Operation failed due to earlier error, hr=80040154 2009-12-12 18:48:47:875 2044 e80 COMAPI FATAL: Unable to complete asynchronous search.

  • Windows Vista Updated, Can't turn on Computer
    • I run Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop Inspiron 530S, if this is helpful. My computer rebooted this morning to install updates and turned on, but was slow so i restarted. Later I turned it off and now when I turn it back on it goes to Configuring Updates 3/3 0% even though it just updated.... after a few moments it will go to the shutting down screen, shut itself down then turn itself back on and repeat the whole thing, configuring updates 3/3, shutting down, etc etc etc.

  • RAS System Error = 1060
    • When I closed down my desktop on 9.12.09 (running XP Home) Windows automatically downloaded updates before shutting down itself. When I try to access the internet I get the following message "RAS System Error = 1060". I now cannot access the internet and appear to have lost all entries in my "Network Connections" folder. Can anyone please help?

  • Update KB973904 keeps getting cancelled
    • Yesterday I noticed disk activity on my PC and guessed that it was applying updates. After it quieted down I logged onto my Administrator account to check (I like to see what's been updated), and sure enough there had been updates. But what was listed (after going to Microsoft Update Home and clicking "Review your update history") was four successful updates and then one, KB973904, with a grey circle in the Status column, meaning Cancelled. This I haven't seen before! There were also several High Priority updates which hadn't been applied, and I noticed the little yellow shield on the task bar at the bottom right of the screen telling me that "Updates are ready for your computer". So I clicked on the yellow shield, and the update process started again, and when it was done there was a second cancelled KB973904 entry, and none of the remaining updates had been applied. So I left it at that yesterday, and when I turned on my computer today I noticed more disk activity, and when I checked for updates the only new entry was a third cancelled KB973904. So it's starting to look like a problem! Anyone have any idea what is going on? For the record, my OS is WinXP SP3, I'm using Microsoft Update (as opposed to Windows Update), the updates that were applied successfully yesterday were KB890830, KB971737, KB974392, and KB976416, and the updates that remain unapplied are KB973904, KB976325, KB970430, KB974318, KB955759, and KB976884. -- John Brock jbrock@panix.com

  • Should I update?
    • I just got a T60P Lenovo factory refurb preloaded with XP Pro SP3. I went to the update site and got a huge update that said it would catch up everything to date. Back at the update site it shows 20 or 30 additional updates. Do I really need to do all those? -- For most of us the most danger is most politicians. JimL

  • Says I am not the administrator
    • I have Vista and it updates ok via the windows update but I get an error when I try to access the microsoft update web site. I want to update my office suite 2007 as well as my O/S all at the same time but the microsoft site keeps telling me I have to have administrator authority to enter the site despite me being the only user and administrator on my machine. Any Ideas? I use another machine with XP and it accesses the website ok so it is obviously a problem with the Vista O/S. Any help is much appreciated.
