As of recently, I have reinstalled windows XP with service pack 1(Repair Installation) over my previous installation of XP with sp2. After doing so, I promptly attempted to download Service Pack 2 from Windows Update but all that happens when I access the Windows Update site is that it keeps asking me to download their "new software" and after it does so and registers the software the following message is displayed:
"[Error number: 0x80070005]
I am having problems with windows and graphics. I recently upgraded my computer to an Athlon 64 3500+ with an Asus (ATI) X300 PCIe graphics card. Since then I have not been able to play DVDs as PowerDVD locks up straight away and WinDVD 5 comes up with the error “Create overlay failed. lower your screen resolution or colour depth & try again�. I often experience the graphics card resetting and sometimes failing when playing modern games (Far Cry etc). I thought that the graphics card was not up to
When I try to install updates from Microsoft's site I get an error saying "Updates were not successfully installed." This happens during both manual and automatic updating. I search google.com high and low and cannot find a fix that works. This is the specific error from the WindowsUpdate.log FATAL: Error: 0x80070005. wuauclt handler: failed to spawn COM server FATAL: 0x80070005: ERROR: Remote update handler container process created (PID: 1656), but exited before signaling event
this morning i went to use my desktop computer, and much to my chagrin, apparently I have been denied access to all my programs and files. I suspect that it may have to do with the windows updater, because when i try and log into my user account, i get an error message mentioning registry issues. My computer was runing fine last night when I went to sleep. 'my efforts thus far'= I can run safe mode, and have done a system restore, a malware program sweep, checked user accounts and various programs; and all allow full access to the 'trouble account' according to safe mode. In short, My main account is in lockdown, my safe mode works. The majority of error messages refer to 'denied access' and upon trying to log iin a get the error message '0x80070005'. I have googled my heart out trying to solve this myself, and apparently Microsoft wants 60$ to even hear my problem,

I uninstalled the nero. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and uninstalling - turining off - and then trying - always the same message I had a techno guy come and look at it but he buggered up the internet and couldnt get it back - the only thing I could think to do was system roll back - i got my internet back but nero is still there - only this time i cannot uninstall because it states it cannot find certain databasesso, i am left with no internal or external disc driver and half of nero which i cannot shift

When i try to install a game before i can complete my installation i receive this error message:"error number: 0x800040707, Dll function call crashed: chkreqs.setup window". I think its something to do with the dll files windows uses. Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this problem?

I'm getting an error number: 0x80072EE7. This workstation has windows xp pro 64bit installed. It's a brand new dell precision 670 and i just turned it on and i'm getting this windows update error. We do have an Intranet in place and windows 2003 server. No proxy server and it should be open. So, my question is, is there some kind of compatibility problem here between windows xp 64bit and windows update? Or, perhaps windows 2003.
I go to Windows Update and get Error 0x8024402c. It seems this has something to do with a proxy setting. Since I am using DSL to get to MSN ISP, there are no proxy settings. Tried the Run CMD things that are suggested, and they are not recognized. Dug around with Google, and nothing there worked. Turned off McAfee Firewall, and it worked. Turned on firewall, and it would not let me in. This has never happened before. Had this firewall for years. Do not like to go on the web without a firewall, so I would appreciate any help with this.
My computer won't reboot. It started when I tried to update windows to sp2 and it had an error so it couldn't finish the update so it uninstalled whatever it installed. I rebooted and it goes into a loop, first the manufacture logo, the windows xp logo and it goes right back to the manufacture logo and starts that process again. I tried to go into safe mode and even the last best configuration to start and it still goes into this loop. What should I do? I don't want to reformat if I don't have too.

XP Pro sp3. installed windows defender yesterday, but when i try to get update, i get that error..I did a forum search here, followed the instruction there in, but still cannot update defender. I can connect to the update site, and download updates, so i know its not a problem with connecting with the microsoft site.
So earlier I was installing a update for my MS Office and one of them was Office XP Service Pack 3 and during the installation, my computer crashed so I had to reboot and when I logged back into Windows, the updates came up again. I installed them fine and then afterwards when I tried starting up Microsoft Word, it gave me an error and says ''Error 2771. An internal error has occurred. RemoveOPSExtensionFeature) Contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance. For information about how to contact PSS, see C:ProgramFilesMicrosoftOfficeOffice101033PSS10R.CHM.'' I have tried re-installing, uninstalling and I keep on getting the same error.
I am helping a friend with her PC, she is recieving an error message reading "0x8024502D" We have tried every thing we can get our hands on to get rid of it. I have read that it has something to do with Windows XP's update program and it locks you out of most web sites requiring secure traffic. Are there any hopes of recovery? In the time we have spent today we could have reloaded XP!
Feel better now, Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)is installed on my computer, I am aware that update (KB930494), is critical and necessary to maintain security integrity within my system yet it will not load regardless of what I do, (disabled all virus protection; spyware protection...etc) and any other installed program that may interfere, still I cannot load this update and only this update. I have a detailed analysis of my system (BeLarc), every KB****** (windows update) is installed per the 08/14/2007 Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary and functioning beautifully except for this one. It will not load and does not give a detailed sheet message either. It simply states that that KB930494 was an unsuccessful update....

I'm running Win XP Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8100. The hard drive is partitioned into 2 drives: C and D. C has some Dell stuff, but everything else, including Windows, is on D. When I tried to install an update for SP2, I got an error message that the drive needs 1 more MB of free space. There's only 732KB free on C, but 14GB free on D, so I suspect the update is trying to go to C. Is there any way I can direct updates to D? Or, can the HDD be re-partitioned without losing what's on it?
XP reinstall won't validate so that I can get updates. It is a legal copy and I had no problem activating windows. However when I tried to validate it for updates it keeps telling me there is an unknown error and validation could not be completed.
I am running Win XP-SP2. I wiped my hard drive due to irresolvable software conflicts. I reinstalled XP-SP2, Office, Norton, the printer and scanner and my digital camera software package. All were updated and working perfectly until Sunday. I booted up the machine only to get a warning that says One of your disks may have errors let the computer reboot itself (which it will do repeatedly, stuck in a reboot loop) or you can hit any key to ignore this warning. You have only ten seconds to read all this and make a decision.
Once the computer boots up, everything seems to work as normal except for system restore. I tried to restore to the day after I reformatted and installed everything and all I get is an error saying Cannot restore to that point, please choose another point to restore tooor something to that effect.
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.
Anyone here having probs trying to install this latest update from Microsoft?I'm running Winxp home sp2.The update just sits in my system tray and when i tries to install it it fails.
