When updating windows 7 i get error code 80072ee2. What is it and how do i fix it?

When updating windows 7 I get the following response:
Windows could not search for updates
An error occurred while checking for updates for your computer
error(s) found
code 80072ee2 windows encountered an unknown error
click here to get help with this error
When I do this - get help - the "fix" doesn't fix it and I eventually come back to this same window
The last time I was able to update windows 7 was in December 2011.
This same problem has happened before but the "fix" fixed it some time.
I get the same error when I open internet explorer.

Hi,
I don't know the exact fix for your problem, but there is a thread on the Microsoft answers page that talks about this error message being related to a particular key.
And if you remove that key, you can fix Windows update. See below for the detailed information and scroll to the bottom to see where someone found the fix:

Thanks,
Michelle

  • New project to DVD works fine, but sharing to a Blu ray fails, with a error message "video rendering error 60."  What is that and how do I fix it?

    getting an error message "video rendering error 60" when burning a new final cut pro project to Blu ray.  Burning to regular DVD works fine.  I have burned many other projects successfully to blu ray.  What is this message and how do I fix it?

    If this same timeline can be exported to other file formats and can be shared successfully to DVD, possibly it's the longer render time in the Blu Ray processing that is the problem. In the Finder in Applications, right click Final Cut Pro dot app, choose Get Info and verify that Prevent App Nap is checked. If it isn't, check it and try again.

  • My iPod Shuffle (4th Generation) flashes red when I put it in the USB drive. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

    Earlier today, I tried to use my shuffle, but for some reason, not only did it not play music, it gave a tri-tone. When I put it into the USB of my computer, the light flashed red for a moment then stopped. My iPod does not show up on iTunes nor My Computer. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix this?

    Tried suggestions and they never worked.

    Hi Mylenium,
    Thanks for your answer, but what the heck is a
    Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and where do you guys get these information, because if it is an Adobe Product then they are doing a poor job of letting their customers know about it... I think! I truly thank you for that information and I'll try it and see what happens.

  • I am being kicking offline all the time the error is 80710102 what si this and how do i fix it

    hey dose anyone know what this error 80710102 is and how doi fix

    I have an iMac, Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.7.5, FCPX 10.0.8. I have no third party plugins. First time responding to community. Forgive any protocol errors.
    Been working on variety of work projects for months prior to update with no problems. Took time off for a simple new project after updating to 10.0.8. Finished this small (11 minute) new project that is a combination of video and stills, with a few titles and simple transitions. Plays fine within FCPX, however, ran into same problem that started this chain, ie cannot share/export without getting same error message stated above related to a faulty frame.
    Tried several share/export Master File settings. Tried moving project (from within FCPX) to another drive which resulted in same error message, but related to other different frames. Tried replacing original data in affected frame with freshly exported replacement files using QTime. Same problem again. Was able to export to Compressor, but resulting ProRes 422 file was so jumpy it wasn't usable.
    Tried suggestions of Mark M 98021 and Hank LV, ie, halting all rendering in preferences and deleting render files. After this, I was successful in sharing/exporting at will.
    I have several other major projects that I am afraid to return to. I'm not an expert at the inner workings of FCPX and don't have time to keep dealing with this issue. I can leave rendering off, but not a satisfactory solution. Not sure if old rendered files might become infected.
    It would seem that there is a problem in the update. I hope this is corrected so I can continue with my work.

  • HT3204 I got a reading of "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" test. What's wrong and how do I fix it? I am indeed unable to connect to the store.

    Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong when I try to connect to the iTunes store? I got a message "secure link to iTunes store failed" when I ran a diagnostic "network connectivity" text. What's wrong?
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Why everytime i try to download/update any application i get error code: 1009

    why everytime i try to download/update any application i get error code: 1009 either from App Store in my iPhone or from iTunes???

    Hi all.
    I had the 1013 error, have never Jailbroken my phone.
    Udating the firmware casued it to go into recovery mode and got stuck in the 1013 error loop.
    Tried editing the Host file, new computer, itunes re-install, different USB port, anti-virus off etc, NOTHING was working.
    Just as I was tempted to launch it at some unwitting object/person, cancel my contract and defacate on Apple's porch, I managed to sort it purely by restoring my phone without the sim card in.
    No idea why, dont know why i havnt seen it mentioned before either. Hopefully it may help some of you in the same situation.
    Thanks
