Automatic Update Service Not Working
Apr 19, 2010
ive recently encountered a problem with automatic update. it doesnt seem to want to turn on,nor can i get any updates through windows updates..when i try to start it through administrative services i get this error....(error 1058: the service cannot be started either because its disabled ,or because it has no enabled devices associated with it)..however,automatic updates is turned on to "automatic" and "background intelligence transfer" and "event log" are also on. it just doesnt seem to want to start.when i click on "windows update" to update my computer on the web it tells me that there was an error starting this service because one of these three services is not running,however they are all running. my clock will also not synchronize either,no matter how i try.i cannot find any other services that might effect automatic updates from running. i have windows xp sp3. this just started today.

I am a student technician at Central Michigan University, and I'm trying to develop a script to run via group policy or run as a service on our windows XP machines to shut them down at a specific time. My building has two labs of 40+ computers. These systems are on 24x7. I was wondering if there is any way to have these systems shutdown at a specific time?

Am using XP, and noticed problems after the automatic update to IE8, which happened for me on 7/8. When we tried to use IE8, the toolbar had disappeared. I have no room on the bar to right click it, because it has a Google search window on the right side. In addition, IE doesn't even show in Windows Task Manager as an application when the browser is open--only as a process. I was able to uninstall IE8 (after uninstalling SP3) and go back to IE7, but it has the same issue--no toolbar. I tried the Fixit offered by Microsoft (50157) for this problem, but it did nothing. I tried doing a regedit to delete the ITBarLayout value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Microsoft/IE/Toolbar/Shellbrowser (although it wasn't specifically labeled ITBarLayout, but was the only entry with a value, sorry I haven't worked with the registry much). I was able to do a successful System Restore to 7/5, but that did nothing. I am at a loss--should I try to reinstall IE8? SP3 first?
Besides this, since the System Restore my Norton Internet Security 2009 has an error in the browser protection, and I am unable to download the fix for that because IE won't stay open when I try to download the Norton Removal Tool. My mom has gotten the same browser problem, so I think something happened to both of us through the automatic update to IE8. She is also on XP.

I have three microsoft updates that will not install. I have tried repeatedly to install them, however it is unsuccessful everytime. For now, I have put automatic update service on manual start until I can get it fixed as the automatic update service was eating up processor resources.

Win XP Pro I've just reinstalled my system and several programs. I've also begun "customizing" windows such as getting rid of messenger, turning off automatic update etc. At the end of bootup, I get a small box in the middle of the screen with nothing on the top section to indicate what program it is coming from or responding to. It says: "cocreateinstance error". There is a little "ok" and when I left click, the box goes away and all seems to go very smoothely. But something is wrong - any ideas of where I might start to look since there's no error code and no reference to a particular program?

This lady doesnt do much with her pc. Let her granddaughter download crap from bearshare and you know the malware virus issues galore. I ran a couple of programs to get rid of those issues. She had NO antivirus so I was going to download the trial version to Trend Micro for her. This is when I discovered she had never updated her pc. Trend says it will only work on SP2 and above. Tried to, and updates were disabled. Followed the microsoft KB articles related to turning on the auto updates, the BITS services, to no avail. Tried to register and reregister the DLL's, that failed also. Tried to go to the update site, tried to downloading the malicious removal tool, it will not let me run it. I ran housecall, a bunch of vulnerabilities show up possible related to just the SP1 issue.

My OpticPro 9636T scanner parallel port scanner initially would not work under Windows XP Pro. Plustek does not support XP on this model. I finally found a driver from Germany. When installed with right mouse clicks, it installed in English, and worked perfectly. Since the MS automatic update to SP2, it no longer works, and the driver from Germany won't install.Does anyone know of a driver that will work?

The complaint is that Windows is very slow, and the problem started after "the yellow item (icon) showed up on the screen (system tray)."When the cursor is placed over the "yellow item," the text says "Automatic Updates."The computer is an HP Laptop, and the operating system is Windows XP. Now I realize that this is a very indefinite description of a problem, but I hope someone can help with the following questions: Has anyone had any problems with either slow boot or slow operation when Windows automatic updates are enabled? Either with Windows 2000 or Windows XP? When you enable automatic updates, does the "Windows Update" option from the START/ALL PROGRAMS menu disappear (it had disappered from the menu on the problem computer)? Can automatic updates be disabled, and, if so, does the option return to the All Programs menu?

When I have Automatic Updates enabled, svchost uses 100% of the CPU. I disabled svchost and am able to use the computer.
With svchost disabled, I can not use Automatic Update. With it enabled, the computer freezes.
Is there a place to update Microsoft Office without having scvhost enabled?

I have my computer set up to automatically detect Windows XP updates and download them. Updates install when you shut down. Recently a bunch of downloads occurred but one of them did not get installed due to a missing file (message came from the MS update system). Now, everytime I shutdown, that update attempts to install and stops with the same error that requires a manual response from me.
How do I tell Windows to stop trying to install that update. I want to maintain the auto-update feature but want to get rid of just that one that is not working. I can shut down without the install attempting (option in the shut down window) but I want to get rid of it altogether. I can't find the files or commands that trigger the update on shutdown.

Compaq Presario 6470NX running Windows XP. Automatic updates are continually trying and failing to update my system. One of the popups I get is: "SQLDUMPER library failed initialization. Your installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with. Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem." I restored to an earlier date and that went away. But, I'm still not getting my updates done. Last Tuesdays are (KB928365, 928366, and 928367).

Windows automatic update started last night and restarted my computer. I let it restart but it came up with a screen saying that I cannot start my computer in its regular mode. It gave me the option of starting with Last Known Good Configuration, which brought me to the same place, or starting up in Safe Mode

About 7 days ago PC startup time went to an average of 6-7 minutes from just a few minutes. The event viewer seems to point to an 'Automatic LiveUpdate Scheduler' entry with description: "Initialization of the COM subsystem failed: Error code: 0x8007041D". It is the only 'error' entry in the log upon startup. I Googled this to death and tried various things:
1. checked HD for errors
2. multiple tools used to cleanup/repair registry
3. reinstalled Windows Automatic Updater
4. defrag the HDs (grasping at straws)....

I normally remove the updates/SPs from my Windows folder after a few days of running with the SP installed. All those packs can take up a ton of space. I move them to a separate folder for safe keeping for about a week, then, if all is well, I delete them. I don't think I've deleted the IE7 SP, but I don't know what the SP number is.

We are running Windows XP Professional SP3 on an HP Pavilion D4100Y. After a recent Windows Update, the computer was completing the update installation before shutting down, when the surge protector was accidentally turned off before the computer was finished with the updates. Now, when the computer powers up, it goes to the Windows XP splash screen, flashes blue for a quick second and the computer reboots.
If we access the Boot Menu, the Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Enable VGA Mode, Last Known Good Configuration options all lead to the OS Choices menu, which gives "Windows XP Professional" and "Windows Recovery Console" options. Both options reboot the computer. Only the Disable Automatic Restart option doesn't reboot the computer, and it gives a BSOD with STOP error 0x00000024........

I appear to have a problem with an update for windows XP. I belive my computer has been trying to update this file for some time but it is only now, when I have tried to install a new anti virus (Bit defender 2010), that it has become a real problem. Having said that it has also prevented me getting service pack 3 and explorer 7.
When using windows update I am told that the following has failed to install, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773). It would appear that the file has downloaded but not installed. I have followed all the microsoft suggestions, one of which resulted in my having to repair windows. I have also googled this problem and found many references to the same update but no one appears to have a solution.

I seem to be having trouble with both of my PC's (dell dim 2400's with XP home) accessing the Windows Update site. I can never get on and get the usual page suggesting to try later or try downloading manually, which I can't do either. None of my System Restore points work (on either one)! Also, our DSL connection is working fine, as for as IE6 goes. (I can get Google, Yahoo, Bestbuy.com, ect.) I can't access the msn web-site either and Outlook Express 2003 hangs during the receiving part. I've tried Trend-Micro's Housecall and it cleaned several trojans, but I still have the same problems. I've never experienced this "Denial of Service" attacks.

I'm relatively PC challenged [not entirely though please bear in mind]I bought a new PC and took delivery late Thursday last [the day before Good Friday]. The place I bought it from is in another city about 150km away and as luck would have it, has closed now for a few weeks. So I'm on my own til then.Started it up first time successfully and added a new user. Didn't add any programmes. Next time I tried to start it got a message:Windows rootsystem 32 hal.dll missing or corrupted.Re-booted and now I get to black screen with Safe Mode, Last Known Config etc otions. I can boot into safe mode but none of the others work. They all just start up the "Windows Starting" page then it re-boots itself and goes through the same cycle. If I leave it then it will just keep cycling like this.Tried booting into safe mode and looked at System Restore but there is no earlier version to restore to.
