I tried a search first and came up kind of dry...I think i'm in the right forum..so here goes...I tried a windows update and I came up with and error code 8000FFFF. windows can't update and hasn't since 5/25/12...I started looking and stuff and found a bunch of incomplete updates...Does anyone know how to fix this. I know a little about pc.If you have a good link thats safe or another way? The pc is a dell running windows vista service pack 2 32 bit system
these "incomplete updates", are they on the computer or on the net during a search for your problem? have you tried a system restore to before the last update so can retry the update downloading?
The updates are on the pc...about 12 of them...my system restore only dates back to july which isnt far enough to correct the problem since it started in may ive. went and deleted everyprogram that was made around that date in may under programs and features..everything on the net comes up without a solution.
i guess thats about my only option...ive been thinking of doing it, just wanted something else to try.
Try Microsoft fix it center and see if that will find the problem.They have a section pertaining to Windows update. I've used it before and it worked for me. http://fixitcenter.support.microsoft.com/Portal
i've ran that twice now with no luck..i even tried each one individually trying to "force" them with no luck....i know its not an easy fix but there has to be something that can be done instead of wiping my hard drive back to factory setings
what operating system are you running.if its vista or 7 chances are there is free email support.i had the same problem years ago with xp and microsoft support walked me thru it with no problems.
