i have a HP Pavilion laptop [dv5117ci] with factory load XP Pro SP2and factory restore discs. the system became corrupted by a failed Win update.
it had multiple files showing bad, so rather than chase them one at a time for an unknowable number of days, I decided to create a new directory and install fresh copy of WinXP Pro
That looked like it was going to work but after being up on the initial boot, wobbly, for about 45 minutes, something caused a freeze, and I was toasted after that. Same routine again: bootup, get error "Windows failed to start because the following file is missing or corrupt"

What do I have to do to get rid of windows error code 0X80200010 ? My automatic updates worked fine. Windows update tries to give me 10 updates now, and thy download okay but do not install successfully. I'm using AVAST! antivirus which seems to work very well. I'm also using Mozilla Threatfire and PCTOOLS firewall. In a few more days, I will be 3 months behind on my security updates.

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 and wanted to upgrade to the SP3 that's out. It showed up in Auto Updates, and I ran the install, but it failed. The system still runs ok, but I can't figure out how to get past the error. It tries to install the update KB946648, but fails with an access denied error. The SP3 install then back everything out and quits. How do I get past this error? I checked my update history, and it says that update KB946648 is already installed. Additional info: Tried running the update without the ZoneAlarm Fire wall off and Windows firewall on I also have Norton's AV. Any possibility of a conflict with one of these

Purchased an HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA to use with my Dell 5100 laptop, with Windows XP Home Edition O/S, SP3, Intel Pentium 4, 2.66GHz CPU, and 512 GB RAM. Loaded the HP supplied software CD, and then plugged the cable into a USB 2.0 port, but it failed to connect to the webcam. The hardware wizard gave the following message: �Problem installing the hardware: HP Deluxe Webcam KQ246AA. An error occurred during the installation of the driver.Have tried multiple times to delete and reload the software. Located the driver by clicking on Computer, System Properties, Hardware, then Device Manager tabs and found the driver under �Other Devices� which shows a yellow question mark. Is this the proper location for a device connecting to a USB port? Please advise. The General, Device Status tab contains the following message: This device is not configured correctly (Code 1). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver. I�ve tried to reload according to the prompts, but with no success.

I have two SATA drives on my machine. and want to start a software re-build. I swapped the cables on the drives, formated the second drive (as NTFS) and tried to load XP. When I select the partition to instal in it tells me that the drive partition is not Windows XP compatible, and I should return to the previous screen to make it so. That screen allows me to delete and create partitions, but a new partition comes up only as "raw". I can change it to NTFS in Disk Manager, but after doing so I still get the same message. I am able to transfer files to and from the drive and open them without problems, so the drive itself seems to be working.

My intellimouse works correctly for awhile then double click fails. When this occurs the mouse control panel fails to open. Shutting down and restart corrects the problem-but only for awhile and then the same thing happens over again. I reloaded software to no avail. any help?

I was replying to an e-mail when a message something like 'Virtual memory exceeded,microsoft can fix this' came up. I believe I selected a 'go ahead' button and left it to fix the problem. When I came back sometime later the computer was not reacting to anything so I reset. The screen that shows my hardware etc came up and windows then started, however, when the start up appeared to have progressed to the stage where the screen goes blank and an arrow eventually appears it didn't! It went back to the screen that shows the hardware build and kept cycling in that mode.

So this week MS released a critical update for IE6. The IE update failed on my machine.I submitted a trouble ticket via MS online portal which is free if a failure or anomaly occurs during a windows update. Yes, I gave permission for the MS portal to extract certain files.At the moment I am disinclined to download IE7 as my 99% preference4 is Firefox save for Windows and Office updates which require IE.Here is the response from MS.

I have a legit copy of windows xp professional that I obtained through school. When the update icon appears and I try to install the updates it comes back giving a least of updates it could not install. When I go to the microsoft update page it first wants to download the Genuine Windows Validation install, however, it does so unsuccessfully. I have ran the windows diagnostic which came back and said my copy of windows is genuine need updates.

I've recently updated SP2 to the third one and then again after i ran Windows Update(R!) instantly, ok all updates downloaded properly(thanks god!) but then there lies the problem, not one of these 16 updates would install, I even downloaded IE7 and WMP 11 manually hoping it would change sth in updates and they'd install(this one works in many occasions if you run xp!) Well i haven't yet dared to clear my cache and download the updates again for two reasons!: 1- i have a 128 connection so i should leave pc turned on for another whole night 2- i'm somehow sure it wouldn't work and the problem lies somewhere beneath the hidden layers of windows engineering.

I am using a Windows XP Professional computer with service pack 3.When the update icon (yellow diamond) appeared in my systray I tried to install the following three updates:
1) Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 Security Update for Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP (KB974417)
2) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and >net Framework 2.0 Security Update for Windows 2000. Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB979909)
3) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86 (KB982168)
Although the updates completed, apparently they were not installed properly because the yellow update diamond icon repeatedly keeps appearing in my systray.In Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, only the first two updates (1) and 2) above appear in that list.From that Add/Remove Programs list, I tried uninstalling the first update (KB974417) and then manually installing it. This did not help. That file still keeps reappearing after I reboot the computer and then click on the yellow update diamond icon in my systray.
I checked the web for advice on how to solve this problem. All I could find were solutions that either didn't work or were complicated and beyond my ability to understand them.To avoid having to wait for the updates to attempt to install each time I turn off my computer, I turned off the Automatic Updates feature. Of course I would like to be able to turn this feature back on if I can solve this problem. What could be causing this problem of the yellow, update icon repeatedly reappearing in my systray after the updates apparently were installed?Is there a fairly straightforward way of correcting this problem?

I presently have 4 computers 2 old and in the process of being replaced and 2 new, the replacements. For some time now, I have noticed that updates were failing to install on one of the old computers. I fiddled with it a bit but wasn't too concerned as I had plans to replace it. I now have 2 newer computers that have been set up and one of them, after installing a number of updates, repeatedly tries to update XP then gives me a message that.

I'm a college student with a Macbook Pro running Boot Camp and running WinXP natively. Just yesterday, I got an error right in one of my classes saying I had a corrupt system file and said to reinstall or repair. So, I pop in the WinXP cd and repair Windows and go through the whole process of fixing Windows. Once I get through it all, I go to Microsoft Update just to find out I have a ton of updates to install. (91!) I had to install Installer 3.0 and it installed successfully and I restarted. I go to install the rest of the updates and Microsoft update downloads all the updates and when it goes to update....they ALL fail. Every last one fails. All 91! I don't understand what is going on.I heard somewhere that you need to uninstall all .NET things so I did that. Still didn't work.Someone said to stop AutoUpdate and clean out the SoftwareDistribution folder and start up AutoUpdate again. Still didn't work.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Installer 3.0, thinking it might be the problem. Uninstall is fine, but when I go to download and install, IT TOO FAILS TO INSTALL So, now I'm 92 updates down.I was told to go check my update history on the Windows Update website. It has no record of any failed updates. I tried multiple times to install with failed attempts and the history has no record of me failing to install anything. So, that basically means I have no error code to find through that.Can anyone please help me? I need my laptop for school for engineering stuff because they don't make the programs for Mac. Thanks everyone.

I recently visited Microsoft Windows Updates and was horrified to discover that a total of 394 Windows Updates had failed to install. I clicked on 'Find Solutions' and followed the instructions, which were, click 'Start', click 'Run', type 'services.msc.' then make sure Background Intelligent Transfer Service is on Automatic (not manual) and is 'started'. I did this and tried to re-install the failed updates. This worked, but only for the 5 most recent updates (otherwise there would have been 399 failed updates). How do I go about installing ALL of the failed updates?

While I was manually checking my updates, I checked on the "Review Your Update History". I discovered that all 6 of the June 14 updates showed "FAILED" I tried checking for updates again, with the same results. Has anyone else experienced this, and how do I get the updates to install?
