| 1214558 | 2011-07-04 00:33:00 | If you are doing it from the system tray icon that pops up with auto updates sometimes manually going to the website and updating sorts it out, I had 1 update that tried to install every day for a wekk until I did that. From your browser under security or tools there should be a windows update option, or it's in the control panel somewhere. Sorry for the vagueness but I'm locked out af any useful features of my work laptop so I can't see it to remind myself where it is. |

| 1214560 | 2011-07-04 00:38:00 | Is Nortons or Mcafee on this? Both can cause that error | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1214561 | 2011-07-04 00:44:00 | Ehh, not related to the first post, but my Windows has updated the past 3days, :/.. Installed all possible updates I had for every day, yet still updates and installs more :( | Empathy. (16382) | ||
| 1214562 | 2011-07-04 03:39:00 | Thanks lads, tried all of the bove to no avail. No Speed I do not have Norton or McAfee. It was suggested by microsoft that by go to control panel and find repair so as to be able to download updates, it ran for a while and said all was fixed, so tried again, and again to no avail. |

| 1214563 | 2011-07-04 03:42:00 | Some people have fixed this error by deleting the folders in C:\windows\softwaredistribution folder. Then trying again. It should recreate the folders that are there | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1214566 | 2011-07-05 07:40:00 | Error 80004005 is a generic error code, so it could be any number of causes, its about as useful as t1ts on a bull :D. Have you tried taking note of the KB numbers, when manually doing a windows update, manually downloading them, then right click run as administrator? Also make sure the time and date / Year and regional settings are correct - a few times I had problems with windows updates, and the damn month was out, I was ahead of myself by one month in the system clock, so it was trying to authenticate for a time/day/month that had not yet arrived :badpc: |
