Resolving Errors 8000FFFF & 643 when Vista updates fail

I realized I had certain updates coming in from Microsoft for my Vista Premium that consistently failed. I made note of the error codes and called Toshiba tech support but might as well have saved that protracted time because they sent me to my virus protection provider who found nothing wrong with their settings. From there I am sent to Microsoft who isn't willing to offer support without a fee because my version of Vista came preloaded with the laptop and they suggest going back to the manufacturer so back to Toshiba tech support I trot, again to no avail.
Seems the update was Vista SP2 and 4 security updates that were jamming things up and Toshiba tech support does not have the "information" on this level of Vista so I was just advised to forgo the download. I did not feel comfortable with this because it looke as if nothing else was going to successfully download until that was resolved so I went in search for resolution. I did, indeed, fix this myself so am going to share it here. The tech told me they had encountered this same issue with other Toshiba users recently and just didn't have an answer. Well, I do for any of you interested, and it is:
Click "Start" and type "regedit" in the Start Search box. In the Registry find the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/COMPONANTS" subkey. Under "COMPONANTS" first look for "PendingXmidentifier", right-click on it and "delete". Next, look for "NextQueueEntryIndex", right-click and "delete". Lastly, look to see if you have "AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving" in the list and "delete" it as well. You may or may not have all three of these componants so just delete the ones you have. This resolves Error Codes 8000FFF and 643.
Hope tech support reads this. 
Solved!

    How do you resolve error code 36 when trying to restore an iPad that has been reset to original settings?

    MB-
    As far as I can tell, Error Code 36 is an "I/O Error".  It may mean you have a bad USB cable between the iPad and your computer, or the cable was not plugged in firmly.
    See if this helps with your Restore:  <iOS:  Unable to Update or Restore>.

    Hi I'm suffering with this issue Bug#3506758 - MySQL 5.6 Unable to Execute Queries
    and therefore am trying to update cf 10 to version 13 (current version is 8) however I get 'Error occurred while installing the update: Failed Signature verification'
    I'm running Mavericks on Mac.
    Can anyone point me to a step by step way to resovle this please (I'm new to Macs and am a cf coder but alas dont have any experience in server admin).
    Thanks very much indeed.

    I was going to suggest that you needed to install the mandatory updater, but the Adobe help page for it says you shouldn't need to if you already have update 8 installed.  Might be worth verifying though.

  • HT4623 Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 with the iOs 6.1.3 update

    Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

    Hey Tigergirl17,
    Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

  • Premiere Pro CS3 capture error after Aug 09 vista update

    im using premiere pro cs3 on two PC's running vista.  after the last vista update last week, i can no longer import HDV or DV from my HV30.  both PC's detect the camera and ask to import into windows movie maker or other programs, but when i open premiere pro cs3 and click on capture, both PC's refuse to acknowledge that a camerat attached.  is anyone else having this error?  if so, have anyone found a soultion to this error?

    Strange as it might sound, I'd also install the latest audio and video drivers. OS updates can kill these in a heartbeat. Test afterwards.
    It sounds like Vista is seeing the camera OK, but I'd check just a bit deeper. Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager (or whatever Vista might call it?), and with your camera attached and turned on, navigate to it. Open up the window for that device and check every panel. Any warnings, or errors anywhere?
    In PrPro, check all of the Capture Preferences. Anything amiss there? Anything changed, since the update?
    As a test, create a current Restore Point (do not trust that Vista has done this for you - do it manually to be sure), and then choose a Restore Point from before the Update (I'd actually go back several, if possilbe). Use that and test again. Does PrPro now see the camera and does it Capture as before? If the earlier examinations do not point up something, and this test shows that PrPro CAN Capture, you have at least narrowed it down to the Vista update.
    Good luck,

  • Automated error email notification when outbound IDOC fails

    Hi,
    The requirement is that whenever the outbound IDOC of message type PAYEXT, basic type PEXR2002, fails, then email has to be trigerred to a group id.
    I had suggested to write a report program that runs as a job. If the IDOC goes to error status then mail will be sent from this report. Client prefers it to be done through workflow.
    There is a standard process code for outbound IDOC failure handling EDIO (we40). standard task 7989 has been assigned to this process code. I dont want to modify this standard task as I am not sure of impact.
    Terminating event for this task is 'ERRORPROCESSCOMPLETD'.
    I have developed the workflow that has trigerring event 'ERRORPROCESSCOMPLETD' and bound with the IDOC number. This will send mail to the group id with the IDOC details
    Now issue is that, I am not sure if standard process EDIO will be trigerred automatically, or should we configure anywhere. Since this is standard outbound IDOC, I am not able to add the process code in partner profile.
    Please give your inputs or any other alternate solution to send mail through workflow when  outbound IDOC fails.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I guess in your outbound partner profile for PAYEXT. you need to add process code  EDIO in message control TAb. WHich will cause to trigger the workflow which will send the notification.

  • I'm downloading the trial of Creative Cloud, but am getting an error from downloading Illustrator. "Update Failed." I click Retry and I just get the same message

    I have successfully downloaded the trial of InDesign and Photoshop, but the trial of illustrator errored. It says update failed. I have tried to hit Retry a number of times but am getting the same thing. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Gw17 I would recommend reviewing the installation log file to determine why the update has failed.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log file for the update at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • Error code 1200 when checking updates in Reader X (10.1.0)

    Suddenly the Adobe Reader tells me I have to have administrator rights to check updates from the help menu. Never happened before.
    If I run Reader as an administrator everything is just fine.
    Not a big problem (I usually update Reader via Filehippo's Update Checker) but anyway: ???

    I'm experiencing the same issue on two PCs.  Both are Windows 7 Home Premium (x64).  Both are running Adobe Reader 10.1.0.  Both have all Microsoft updates installed.  Both get the error 1200 when trying to update Adobe Reader.
    The message in the AdobeARM.log file is the same... "Std User on Vista with UAC off - IsElevated returns 0."
    Yet, UAC is actually turned on.  The OS is WIndows 7, not Vista.  And the user account (on both PCs) is an Administrator account.  (It is the default account created when you first unbox the PC and set it up).  I even verified it by going to user accounts (through the control panel) and it shows the accounts as administrator accounts.
    Prior to Reader 10.1.0, I don't recall ever seeing this error.
    I first tried an uninstall, reboot, and re-install Adobe Reader.  That didn't help.
    I thought maybe it was my antivirus, so I disabled that.  No help there either.  I even went so far as to uninstall my antivirus (and reboot), but that made no difference, so I re-installed it.
    I created a new account that was an administrator as well, logged in with that account, and tried the update.  Same error message.
    It seems like the updater is not getting the proper UAC/user account info from Windows itself on WIndows 7 Home Premium (x64) PCs.
    I have a Vista Home Premium (x64) laptop as well.  It has the same antivirus (Avast), same Adobe Reader (10.1.0), and all Microsoft updates installed.  UAC is on, and the account is an Administrator account. I don't get this error on the Vista laptop.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • Why am I getting error message R6034 when I update iTunes on my PC?

    When trying to load iTunes update 11.1.4 on my Windows XP workstation, the installer generated an error message:
    Runtime Error
    Program:C:\Program Files\Common Fil....
    R6034
    An application mad an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application support team for more information
    ITunes is now disabled on the workstation. I have tried downloading the update frorm the website with the same resulting error message
    ITunes is disabled and will not function on my workstation...this is frustrating as a long time iTunes client.

    goddesslileth,
    Could you provide the specific model you are referring to with this question?
    Typically, a low memory message is given when applications running have used up all the available memory that is installed in the system. There are a couple ways around this:
    Add additional memory to your system to the maximum amount it will support (if possible).
    Ensure that all other applications or installed programs you are not using are not running in the background. Background applications or installed programs tend to continue to use memory to keep themselves up to date, for example, a web browser constantly updating it's page(s) for the most up to date information.

  • What does error -2125 mean when movie exporting fails?

    I have a problem exporting a 4-hour movie (720p DV video) that has been acquired and exported by EyeTV 2.3.2 as an iMovie 9 project and assembled in said project.  Some 10-14 hours later after starting a movie export in iMovie for Apple (HD) TV resolution, iMovie displays the dialogue: "Unable to prepare project for publishing—the project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)".
    What is causing this error and how can I resolve it?  The project is about 87 GB large as exported by EyeTV and I have about 194 GB free space on my work volume (which is not the system startup volume) that holds the iMovie project.
    Being such a generic error, it is apparently a problem that isn't expected or popular.  Any clues about this error would be muchly appreciated.  I'll work on it some more, but I'm getting nowhere fast!
    I'll write some more tech details about the system experiencing the problem a little later, but off the top of my head, it's iMovie 9.0.4 on a MacBook Pro (Core Duo) w/ 2 GB of memory and Mac OS X 10.6.7. Running Activity Monitor shows nothing abnormal to disks or CPU usage during the export, and there is no resource exhaustion for the entire time exporting is in progress.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    There are two kinds of sizes - one must keep in mind
    • Gbs - when regarding to store video material on hard disks - then how hd is formatted as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - Doesn't work due to the 4Gb limit - HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended (HFS)
    • DURATION - Movie time + MENU time - an d this is Vital in regard to iDVD - as Gbs Mbs etc. doesn't matter at all. I've 500Mb movies that do not fit and 50Gbs that fit nicely.
    Culprit here is most often the menu that can hide duration in many places one of them picture buttons - as they get same time/duration as movie dropped into them even if only one frame is showed and no animation. Other things is Menu audio that also can consume large Duration times.
    So - as I wrote in another answer.
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large (in TIME - Duration).
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choise of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choise of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)
    So - You have added together all things except use of strange file formats to make this as hard as possibly
    • 4 hours of material - DL-DVD is about 3:45 with as simple menu possibly - no photos, no audio or no animation - STILL TO MUCH
    • I have about 194 GB free space on my work volume (which is not the system startup volume) that holds the iMovie project. - YES BUT - Neither iDVD or Mac OS can use this space for it's temp. files - Space has to be on the Start-up hard disk - about 25Gb free space when using SD-video and about 4-5 times more when using HD-video. This can not be addressed to other hard disks.
    • iMovie 9.0.4 - Well in regard to quality this is not good. As iDVD is SD interlaced video. So using iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut will result in much better result as they don't discard every second line on Export to iDVD.
    • In iMovie'09 - Don't Share to iDVD - BUT - Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD) - helps a bit
    Yours Bengt W
