Windows update Error code 8000FFFF
I've recently been receiving the following error message in Vista:
Windows could not search for updates: Error code found 8000FFF I've disabled all firewalls and still get this message. I have disabled all spyware as well. I can't think of what the problem could be. Can someone help? Thanks. |

RE: Windows update Error code 8000FFFF
I got the same error on a brand new laptop with Vista Premium installed.
by uninstalling preinstalled symentec antivirus package and reboot, the error goes away.

RE: Windows update Error code 8000FFFF
Did you reload Norton afterwards? If so, does the update now work?

RE: Windows update Error code 8000FFFF
Tried that, it didn't work. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Desktop Icons
If you hold down the CTRL key and turn the scroll wheel on your mouse on
your desktop you can enlarge or reduce the size on the icons at will. -- Ian "Paul" <Paul@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:75BA84F2-9B48-4ACB-8040-316292CC8172@microsoft.com... > Tried that, it didn't work.

RE: Desktop Icons
I'm not sure I understand. What does this have to do with Windows update not
running on Vista?
