one that fixed it.

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Online Support Service. My name is

xxx, and I'm glad to work with you. For your reference, the case ID for this

service request is ********. You can contact me directly by sending an email

to ******** with the case ID in the subject line.

 

From your description, I understand that several updates failed to

install and the issue persists after performing some suggestions. If I have

misunderstood your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.

 

I understand the inconvenience you have experienced. Please be assured

that I will do my best to help you.

 

Considering the update issue, it can be caused by the corrupted files,

including SoftwareDistrubution folder and Catroot2 folder. I know you have

tried to deleted SoftwareDistrubution folder, so let’s take the following

steps to rename the Catroot2 folder.

 

Rename Windows Update Temporary folders

 

=================================

 

1. Click Start, in Start Search item, type: "notepad" (without quotes)

and press Enter.

 

2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened

Notepad window:

 

net stop wuauserv

 

net stop Cryptsvc

 

ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution sdold.old

 

ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 crt2old.old

 

net start wuauserv

 

net start Cryptsvc

 

 

3. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window.

Choose Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "register.bat" as

the file name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the location.

 

4. Refer to the Desktop and right click the register.bat file, then

choose Run as administrator.

 

5. You will see a DOS-like window processing.

 

Please try to update again. If our issue persists, I suggest we update

in clean boot.

 

 

Boot in Clean Boot Mode

 

========================

 

Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting.

This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading

program or service. Please perform the following steps:

 

1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in

the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

 

2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box

and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).

 

3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".

 

Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility"

window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the

System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.

 

After restart, please check if the issue persists in Clean Boot Mode.

Please let me know the result.

 

For your convenience, I also include the steps to return Normal Mode as

below.

How to return Normal Mode

==================

1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in

the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

 

Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control

(UAC) window.

 

2. On the "General" tab, click "Normal Startup - load all device drivers

and services".

 

3. Click OK. Click Restart when you are prompted to restart your computer.

 

However, if our issue persists, to better assist you, please collect

some information.

 

How to collect the Windows Update log file

================================

 

1. Click the "Start" menu, type "WindowsUpdate.log" (without the quotes)

in the Search Bar and Press Enter.

 

2. Now click on the "File" menu and then click on the "Save As" and

select "Desktop" as the location to save the log.

 

4. Click on the Save button. The file will be saved to your Desktop.

Please send the file as an attachment in an email to

v-30neoz@mssupport.microsoft.com

 

The System Information can provide us with more information about the

current status of the system. I would like to check it for you. Please send

it to me using the following steps:

 

1. Click the Start Pearl, type "MSINFO32" in the Search Bar and press

Enter to start the System Information.

 

2. On the popup window, on the menu bar, click "File", and click "Save",

type a file name and then choose NFO as "Save as type", click “Desktop†on

the left pane, and click Save.

 

 

Please send it as an attachment to XXXXX@mssupport.microsoft.com. If the

file is too large to be sent, please right-click on the exported file, choose

"Send To" -> "Compressed (zipped) Folder", and then send the zip file to

******** for my further research.

 

Note: When attaching files to emails, the process will vary depending on

the email application being used. While you are composing the email, most

applications will provide you with either an "Attach" button or Paper Clip

Icon to click in order to attach a file. After clicking this button/icon you

must browse to the file you wish to attach and select it by either double

clicking it or clicking it once and then clicking on the "Attach" button.

I understand you KB935807 was showed as installed correctly in Windows

Update history, but it still keeps popping up.

 

Since update is very important for the security of Windows, I suggest we do

not just turn it off. However as KB935807 has been installed due to the

history, we can hide it in Windows Update, then it will not pop up again and

we can obtain other updates to keep Vista up to date. For your convenience, I

would like to give the detail way to hide KB935807.

 

1. Click Start, go to the Search textbox, type in "Windows Update" (without

the quotation marks) and press Enter.

 

2. On the right, click “View available updates†under “Install updatesâ€.

 

3. Right click KB935807 and select Hide update.

 

Then it will not pop up again.

.................end.........good luck...........................

That's not what MS recommends here, Beau. This is a much easier

resolution and someone should inform the Support person about it :

> md %windir%\system32\logfiles\firewall

> 3. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.

I'll attempt to get this info to PSS, but no guarantees. <w>

Re: KB935807 Thanks. :-)

 

Thank you MowGreen. Heh heh, gotta love that name. :-)

That certainly was easier. I wish I could remove all the posts I made here

concerning this update. Perhaps that resolution was recently added.
