For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY (and/or 1-866-234-6020) in the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB972270). Or you can... Start a free Windows Update support incident request: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527 Consumer Security Support home page also offers support options https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com/ For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through your usual support contacts. gphbass wrote: > I have already been to both of those links and nothing there > helped--really > was nothing at the first link except what update files to download.... > > "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: > >> See the "How to obtain help" section of >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972270 >> >> How about a 0x8000FFFF error? >> >> Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: >> 8000FFFF >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414 >> >> >> >> gphbass wrote: >>> Yes I am running Vista SP2--everything else is up to date---windows >>> update >>> worked fine until the patches issued yesterday......as I said, I even >>> rebooted from a restore point before the last windows update...the >>> latest >>> one still does not work get an error code of 8000fff >>> >>> "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: >>> >>>> TYPO CORRECTION: See the "How to obtain help" section of >>>> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972270 >>>> >>>> Has Vista SP2 been installed yet? >>>> >>>> gphbass wrote: >>>>> Yes--my AV is up to date--neither norton nor macafee have ever been >>>>> installed--even went back to a restore point before the last >>>>> update--those >>>>> updates reloaded fine, the current still does not...tried to manually >>>>> update and the program says updates are not for my system---double >>>>> checked >>>>> the file at MS and it indeed said that it was for all versions of >>>>> vista >>>>> and >>>>> was released on 1-12-10.
