Windows can't check for updates
in [Windows Update]
|
From: Pavilion26PC on 19 May 2010 01:47 Hi TaurArian I had problems with Windows Update also, giving me the "Windows can´t check for updates" message each time, the progress bar kept going and going and never stopped searching for updates... I red your note here and tryed it, thinking that maybe would help, but it is worst now.. I receive a message saying that Windows could not search for new updates, and this: Error found: Code 80070490 Windows Update encountered an unknown error. I tryed to set the file´s name back to how it was, but apparently it doesn´t work this way... Please, if you know what could I do in this case I will appreciate your help! I´m worried about it :s :s P.D: I checked other threads about this error and they suggest re-installing the Operative System with the DVD or CD???? Mine came with my laptop (HP Pavilion tx 1305us) without any CD or DVD!!!

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 30 May 2010 08:40 Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply. Has another Norton application or a McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?
