From: HanLee on 29 Dec 2008 07:16 Windows Update doesn't work because of error 80072F8F and tells me to solve this problem by adjusting the PC-time. But this feature doesn't work properly either, the synchronisation of the Internet Time is not working. I can't download ANY update, nor for Windows or the virusscanners. I re-installed Windows Vista Home Premium on this desktop and everything has been working fine for 3 weeks, all available updates were installed without any problem. Can anyone give me an advice to solve this problem? Thanks in advance, HanLee

And if you adjust the time, date, and time zone manually...? cf.

What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the machine (e.g., a free-trial version preinstalled on the machine when you bought it...and which may have been reinstalled when you reinstalled Windows 3 weeks ago)? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ HanLee wrote: > Windows Update doesn't work because of error 80072F8F and tells me to > solve > this problem by adjusting the PC-time. > But this feature doesn't work properly either, the synchronisation of the > Internet Time is not working. > I can't download ANY update, nor for Windows or the virusscanners. > I re-installed Windows Vista Home Premium on this desktop and everything > has > been working fine for 3 weeks, all available updates were installed > without > any problem. > Can anyone give me an advice to solve this problem? > Thanks in advance, > HanLee

There was a problem in the BIOS, after a correction the PC-time could be synchronized and everything worked fine again. Thank you all for your support.
