Re: 80070424

hi startrek133,

Well, is it just in windows update or are you running a specific program when you get the error? Is it from your Event Viewer or are you opening something up and getting it? We'll need a little more information as to what is happening when you get it.

Re: 80070424

when i boot the computer and log into windows i get the pop up by the time that says windows cant look for updates or something like that , and then when i try again i get the 80070424 error ..

i have tried to repair the bits, and run the au checker , and did the whole reregister the dlls .. and none of that has worked ..

the even viewer doesnt have an errors that i can find other than an error about a search ..

Re: 80070424

When you say au checker you mean system file checker? Have you tried Checkdisk or system restore as well?

Re: 80070424

yep ran all my check programs , checkdisk, reg machic, cclearner and a number of other ones ..

and as for the system restore , that is basicly wiping the drive and starting over which i didnt want to do .. would take hours to restore the system back to where i can use it again for work and school ..

Re: 80070424

Well, i'm talking about system restore, not restoring from windows backup. System restore doesn't wipe your hard drive, it just restores it back as it was from whatever point you restore it to, say a few days ago.

Re: 80070424

lol, here are a couple of tutorials that show you how to use it. If you've never messed with it then it's most likely on. There are also related links in the tutorials that you can look at, but I'm not saying it will fix your problem though.

Re: 80070424

No, I didn't say that. I don't think you need to reformat and start anew for just an error code but you can try System Restore as it might help, might not. Give it some time, maybe someone else will chime in here and have a direct answer for your error.
