    Windows update error 80070424

    Ok My windows update has stopped working.

    I had it set to update automatically but it stopped doing that. So i tried to do it manually but whenever I try i get this error.



    As you can see it is error 80070424

    I have looked this up and have tried to fix it with the method where you go into the Command prompt and reset it but it did not work.

    I also tired to uninstall it and reinstall it but i could not locate the program in the Control Panel.

    I do not want to use my factory install disks but I might have to reset something.



    Any help is apreciated.

    regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 qmgr.dll

    Ok Guys in regards to error ,if you have ad-adware on you're computer,use revo uninstaller(free) in mode 3 to uninstall. Re boot after unistall log on in safe mode..Look for lava soft in program files x86 in 64 bit . rename anything,folder ad-aware rename,in ad-aware folder rename file shell 64.dll or simular.Note must be done in safe mode.Note C:\lavasoft\ad-aware\shell64.dll rename all 2folders 1 file.
    Reboot go to run programdata\microsoft\network\downloader and delete all qmgr
    files.Then go to program files x86 and delete lavasoft files. Reboot Try windows update.
    This fixed my computer,then you can reload ad-aware...The friendly installer ad-aware locks causes the problem .When you re-install tell ad-aware to ignore this file...Good Luck

    I have done this, but I get an error when tryping in regsvr32 qmgr.dll

    I have included a screenshot but this is what it says:


    RegSvr 32

    The module "qmgr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.

    Make sure that "qmgr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.

    Any ideas what to do now?

    Re: Windows update error 80070424

    Did you run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on this file as administrator) -it's very important.
    Instead to do it manually you can use "MS Fix it" which repair many errors -this error should also repair ->How do I reset Windows Update components?
    if it fail you can also try this:An update is available to fix a Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) crash on a Windows Vista-based computer

    but this error have many meanings -it would going on BITS service but is also possible it is problem with other services;Check you have these services and correct set:

    Windows Update -start AUTO
    Background Inteligent Transfer Service -start DELAYED-AUTO
    Cryptographic Service -start AUTO
    Windows Modules Installer - start MANUAL
    Windows Installer -start MANUAL

    if this is problem with Windows Installer
    follow to this:Windows Installer 4.5 is available

    if this is problem with Windows Update
    follow to this:How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer

    if this is problem with Windows Modules Installer
    follow to this:Windows could not search for new updates - Code 80070424

    More deatails about last option we discussed here:Vista Forums
