windowsupdate does not work after install IE 8 on win xp sp3

Dear all,

I work on win xp sp 3, and used IE7.
I downloaded and installed IE8.
After reboot, I tried update.microsoft.com, I can choose Express or Custom,
but in both cases, I get a message:
"The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are
trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem.
"

In windows directory, log shows:

Browsing works.
I tryed to disable windows firewall, no change.
I tryed to disable ad-aware, no change.
No other anti-virus / fw installed.

No proxy is used.
I also tried restarting windows update process:
1.. proxycfg -d
2.. net stop wuauserv
3.. net start wuauserv
No change.

Furthermore, manually downloading
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v8...uv3wuredir.cab by
typing url in browser works!

Help please.

That's an HTTP 404 for a new version of MU I wasn't aware of.

Try using IE8's compatibility mode to see if that changes the symptom.

Otherwise try switching from MU to WU and see if that changes the
symptom.


Good luck

1. HTTP 404? Typing url
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v8...uv3wuredir.cab in
IE8 allows me to download the file without error!

2. Where is IE8 compatibility mode?

3. WU redirects to MU, so cannot be used anymore. But tells a warning saying
your page opens ones of my trusted web pages. Great, if it is trusted, I
think he shouldn't tell me it's dangerous .

Alain

[X-post to IE General]

Did you install IE8 manually, via Windows Update website, or via Automatic
Updates?

Error: 80072EFD = ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT
Translation: Cannot connect to the Internet server

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows
Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

0x80244019 SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND
Http status 404 - object not found

0x80244019 errors are often associated with hijackware infections!

1. Does the behavior persist if you access the page in Compatibility Mode?

2. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without
Add-ons; or

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx

3. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

4. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
[Careful! Only remain in Safe Mode just long enough to test!]

5a. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

5b. Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

This is a lot, so here goes.

[X-post to IE General] ORIGINAL

Did you install IE8 manually, via Windows Update website, or via Automatic
Updates?
Downloaded and then installed (first time) second time, after uninstall, by
windows update auto

1. Does the behavior persist if you access the page in Compatibility Mode?
WON'T LOAD AT ALL

2. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:
YES

3. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
YES

4. Does the behavior persist if you boot into Safe Mode with Networking?
YES

5a. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?
VIRUS !AVAST! AND ZONE ALARM WERE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO INSTALL

5b. Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came pre installed when you bought it)?
NO

-----------------ADDED-------------

"I have spent nearly over three days trying to install IE8. I have had to
use IE6 because IE7 does the same thing. I installed all the critical
updates, uninstalled them, and the reinstalled them.

When you first start IE8 the screen blinks a white screen for about two
seconds and then nothing. Just Blink....

I have downloaded a new Windows Update Agent and Dial A Fix and ran them
following instructions exactly. I have also tried several crypto svs start
and stops as well as re registering WUPS and .DLL's

This is driving me crazy.

Any help is already gratefully appreciated."

from different post ------------

I have spent nearly another day on researching help for this bug...I also
reset the winsock and tried to rerun Dial A Fix and it reported that it could
not find what version of Internet Explorer I was using, so some .DLLs will
not be re-registered.

I will try these two tips now. I also reset winsock. Keep on trying...
the different windows user did not work as their is only one administrator
account.

Tried the Safe mode/with networking and it did the same flash then
nothing....and I loaded IE8 with firewall and !Avast! turned off

Guess it is time to re install XP ... 4 times in 4 years, never get a
virus,worm, or spyware, but I can't keep this thing from throwing a shoe
every so often.

H E L P ? ?

And I have no toolbars installed

thanx in advance!

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include (quote) all of
previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.
