I tried several times to update windows 8, but get the following error, 8024800a, windows update ran into a problem View this thread

Okay, so I'm using Windows 7 on my HP dv6 laptop, and for some reason every time I update my computer, windows is unable to restart. It finally starts after I do system repair and/or system restore a number of times or until system restore says it has no more restore points. More often than not the start up repair says that there is a problem but the start up repair could not fix it, so I send the information to microsoft with the &quotsend info&quot button. Last night (3/15/2013) my computer installed 1 update. I go to turn it on this morning and windows fails to start. I go through system repair and tell it to do system restore. It actually worked succes…

After updating to IE10, Aero stop working. What do I do? Poul Erik View this thread

System capable of supporting it. 1rst step of install has load drivers option to install device driver to access your hard drive. Try to install-none on OS disk which I guess makes sense. The cd which contained drivers and utilities that came with the computer with the vista 32 bit, it states that it cannot find any drivers there either. Does this mean that the drivers on the cd and in my computer will not work? And if so: Do I need to get vista 64device drivers to continue? Where do I get them or download them from? And do I need to have 64 bit drivers for every device and function on my device manager list? Thanks Ron View this thread

Windows could not search for new updates Error Code 8024800A. I have tried a couple of online microsoft fixes, one says errors found and have been fixed, one says checking online for updates no problems no fix but the error is still there. I am running a toshiba p750 with 8Gb Ram, it all worked last time I used it a couple of weeks ago. The last update was - Platform Update for Windows 7 x64-Edition (KB2670838) Installation date: ‎27/‎02/‎2013 2:55 PM Installation status: SuccessfulAny ideas? View this thread

After updating to IE10, Aero stop working. What do I do? Poul Erik View this thread

I just installed all the March 2013 windows updates, there were about 3 or 4 of them I believe. One of them is KB 2807986. It seems that as soon as I install Windows Update KB 2807986 my computer will never shut down properly. When I choose start, shut down, or reboot, it will stay stuck on the 'shutting down' screen for hours. The only way to shut it down is to hit the power button. Thinking there may be a problem with windows update, I tried to install it using the update file from the windows update catalog site, but the same problem happens if I do that. As soon as I uninstall KB 2807986, my computer shuts down properly again. Windows Update KB 2807986 is th…

About three weeks ago (2/20/13), I allowed my computer to do windows update. It configured the updates, and then went to restart. And it never came back on. I pressed the power button, and nothing would get it to come back on. It would power up for a half second and then die again. This means, the fans and LEDs would power up, then die a second later. There was no BIOS, nothing on the screen. It would die way too quickly for my monitor to even recognize that the computer was on yet. I have a windows 7 x64, home edition, I believe.Wondering if a component went bad, I unplugged all the hardware (optical drive, the hard drive, video card, RAM, fans) leaving only the mother…

After downloading the normal stream of Windows Updates, I ran into a problem installing the files. My PC hung at Update 1 of 3, and has just sat there for hours.

couldn't download a windows update_643 View this thread

After automatic updates on March 13, 2013, I receive 'page cannot be displayed' while trying to view 'some' webpages. It seems the webpages mostly effected by the update are webmail or browser popups where the email should be opening. This happens on both windows xp, and windows 7 machines after updates from MS. All 4 machines use the update automatically setting and are up to date. Symptoms: XP= Outlook would no longer connect to the pop3 server to send/receive. Outlook would display the login screen as if the password wasn't correct for the mail server login. I opened IE browser and went to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and received 'page canno…
