Windows Update Error Code: 80070424
PROBLEM - Hey every one! I need a little help with my Windows Update. On the 25th of October, the update was fine and everything. Now, when I went to go update on the 31st it said the 25th was the LAST day it auto-update on! I went "WTF" so I decided to manually check for the updates but I did not expect a slap to my face with a smooching red error code: 80070424 ('screenshot of the error' (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...SOfError.jpg)). I've tried many solutions but none seems to work; at this point my brain has literally crashed due to many fail attempts at trying to find a possible fix for my Windows Update. I supposed my moral is decreasing and entering into a pessimistic stage of my PC. My OS is Windows Vista Premium 64 bit, and no all the programs I currently have were installed before the 25th but Comodo Internet Security (which I uninstalled to check if it was the culprit but it wasn't; oh I also checked Comodo Memory Firewall but it wasn't the problem either) was on the day that Update failed and gave error code 80070424. Yes, I've also tried to do a system repair AND restore but none of them even worked strangely. :/ Made another user account to check if Windows Update works but it returned the same code error. Oh and could someone check my HiJackThis log and check my system "stuff?" Not sure why I'm getting that many files missing errors.* Please assist me! Very much appreciate it, and yours truly ~Veloci SOLUTIONS - 1) REGSVR32 %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL - confirmation box succeeded but it did not fix my Windows Update problem. 2) I've checked to see if my BiTS was correctly configured and everything of the sort and they are correctly configured without my intervention - works but it did not fix my Windows Update problem. 3) The BiTs restore tool thing, the one that repairs if it's corrupted or something - it said it's not needed currently so I'm assuming my files for Windows Update/BiTs aren't damaged in any way. 4) regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll - confirmation box succeeded but it did not fix my Windows Update problem. 5) Regsvr32 QMGR.DLL - I'm suspecting this is the cause of my Windows Update not working properly as it returns a confirmation box that it was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not founded with "Make sure that "'QMGR.DLL'" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again." 6) * Click on Start - Run * and paste the command below and enter %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL This line use to reregistering WUAUENG.DLL in window. * You are done! Launch your windows update again, you should be able to perform update now. -- this solution does not work at all, given me errors of a register binary for the REGSVR32.exe and no association part with WUAUENG.DLL. 7) windows update error 8E5E0442 - TechNet Forums - the second post by Ronnie Vernon MVP works but it does NOT solve my problem at all either.** 8) Ran 3 antivirus scans (at different times) on thorough mode and found nothing. Used Malwarebyte's, Spyware Terminator, Ad-Aware, and SUPERANtispyware, and found zip.*** That's ALL the solutions I have tried but it still gives me the same blasted error code; my last resort for this problem is a reformat which I do not want at all since I have yet to invest in an HD that isn't part of the PC (not sure of the correct terminology). Well if anyone needs screenshots of the problems I'm getting I'll gladly post them. ASTERICKS LEGEND - *I used CCleaner to remove registry errors which is unwise I would believe since if I'm not comfortable in editing my register on my own why should a problem do so itself then? That's what I asked myself so I have ceased to use CCleaner any longer other than for clearing up cache and stuff like that, lol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **I'm also sorry if it's against the TOS or the rules to link to other websites but I have yet to look up the rules except knowing the proper etiquette on all forums. Excuse my ignorance. This solution also wiped my update history list away so on my screenshot you'll probably see the two "Never" word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Oh, and my surfing habits are basically this: Check emails and never clicking on a link, play Urban Terror, go on youtube, and this forum. That's basically all I do so I'm not entirely sure what I have really done but if it matters I used Wubi to install Ubuntu on my PC for dual-boot and I'm a bit more riskier on Linux so could that perhaps have affected my Vista partition? +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: hijackthis.txt | |Download: http://forums.techarena.in/attachment.php?attachmentid=7314| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- veloci1992f ------------------------------------------------------------------------ veloci1992f's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/veloci1992f.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-set...ll/1064644.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
