Update Error - 7349
I am trying to install an Important update - 'Security Update for SQL Server
2005 Service Pack 2' - and it continuously fails with an error code 7349. I
cannot trace this error code.
Can anyone help me with this? Is anyone else seeing this problem? Tag: The Code One Tag: 263549
NTFS formatting
When (in which version or upgrade or SP) did WinXP support NTFS harddrive
formatting for drive capacities above 132Gb?
My OS cd for WinXP Home was pre-SP2, but I had allowed every upgrade,
update, and patch to run and apply until SP3 was available. I had few
problems.
Somewhere within that history I had replaced my OS drive with a 250Gb and
formatted it with NTFS. When I tried to upgrade to SP3 in April 2008, my OS
failed to reboot, giving me repeated reboot attempts. At the time, the
recommendations I received online was to reformat the drive and reload; I
elected to buy a new drive and reload XP so I could recover my personal
files from the old OS drive, now installed as a slave. However, the
reloaded OS didn't recognize the formatting and began to move FAT references
around on my old drive. I also found that my reloaded OS would not format
above 132Gb. But I see from online message sessions that others have had
the very same problems and have been able to recover almost all of their old
harddrive files, even after the hours-long FAT revisions.
I hope (and pray) for the same experience, but I don't want to proceed until
I can assure myself that the current XP OS will recognize all 250Gb of my HD
and correct the FAT errors accordingly.
How can I assure myself that my present XP OS (WinXP Home now upgraded with
SP3) will do that? What do I look for? Tag: The Code One Tag: 263538

Windows Update Issue for XP
I have windows set to do automatic updates and as usual, I recieved an update
sometime back. Ever since then when I would try to go to add or remove
programs, half of my programs would not be there like they normally are. I
did a system restore back about a month and all my programs showed up. Then
just tonight, windows did an automatic update and here I am back to square
one. All my programs are missing again.
What the heck is going on? This should not be occurring because according to
articles I've read when you can't view your programs in add or remove, its
because a registery key has been lost.
So please tell me what I should do? And has anyone else had this problem
within the last month? Tag: The Code One Tag: 263496

software distribution service 3
Windows Auto Update installed SDS3 on my computer and kept re-installing same
everytime I did a restore to delete the program. I disabled auto updates, but
could not uninstall the SDS3 because it did not show up on the "update" in
add/remove programs. I went into the bios, nothing there. I restored 5 days
earlier than the initial installation of 7/9 and cannot uninstall the
program. My computer no longer recognizes cd's since this was installed. I
place a cd in the computer and nothing happens, I tried a music cd and
nothing, I tried a game cd - nothing. I am also getting some e-mail delivery
returns. How do I get rid of this program, I have been working on this for a
total of about 12 hours, and am truly frustrated. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263486

How is adding new words to the dictionary a critical update? Microsoft puts

Windows update installing updates over riding my settings
I had the update setting on automatic to be done at 8pm and my time was being
overridden and I was also receiving updates that had no bearing on my system
(updates for XPSP2! not Vista) So I changed it to download but don't install
until I checked them. I was finding updates that were being installed anyway
and sometimes twice back to back. ie - that fateful Tues in March with KB
938371 that took away all my USB drives. Now I have changed it to just
notify me of updates and I will decide which ones to install and the stupid
updates are being updated and installed anyway.
Is anyone else having this problem? I am sick of Microsoft deciding which
updates I need. I know a lot of them were in preparation for SP1 but I never
did get that as an update. Downloaded and installed myself with the help
from Microsoft and I had no problem. Sorry - BTP I don't know any thing else
to do but cut them off completely which is certainly enticing at this point.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Jody Tag: The Code One Tag: 263437
Updates fail
For the past month, every time I shut down the computer that I use a lot
daily, it tries to do updates, but they fail, and the system then shuts down.
It seems that all of these many failed attempts had error code: 0x80070643,
except the last 2 were I tried to update manually. Those 2 had the error
code: 0x8020000E. How do I fix this?
Also, I have heard much about holding off on the XP ser. pk. 3, by Window's

Install of KB921896 fails with 0x643 and corrupts my SQL Server.
Problem: Attempts to auto install KB921896 fail with error code 0x643. SQL
Server is now corrupted and won't start, complaining in a pop-up on machine
reboot that "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been
tampered with (Could not open SQLEVN70.RLL). Please uninstall then re-run
setup to correct this problem." My system is running Windows 2003 Server
Enterprise Edition SP 2.
Background: Last week, my Sharepoint (WSS 3.0) site stopped working because
it "couldn't connect to the configuration database". When I looked in the
Event Logs, I saw that SQL Server had been failing for a few minutes nearly
every day since Feb 16, 2008. On July 3, 2008 it failed again, twice this
time, and couldn't recover. Ever SQL Server failure in the log was preceded
by a run of MsiInstaller. Looking at my Windows Automatic Updates history, I
discovered that nearly every day since Feb 16, 2008, Windows Automatic
Updates had been unsuccessfully attempting to install KB921896 (SQL Server
2005 SP2). And on July 3, it tried twice. After that, my SQL Server
completely died.
Debugging: I downloaded the service pack to install it manually. I walked
through the wizard, and the install died midway, asking to send the following
log files to MS:
* C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\Redist9_Hotfix_KB921896_msxml6.msi.log
* C:\Windows\summary.txt
* C:\Windows\Hotfix\hotfix.log
Upon inspection of those files, I find that the first one does not exist. In
fact, there is no LOG subdirectory tree under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap.
Here are the highlights from the short summary.txt file:

If I read that correctly, it looks like there might be some registry
corruption. It also makes me nervous that when I now compare this SQL Server
installation to one working on another computer I see in the "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server" directory only an "80" and "90" subdirectory and
no, say, "MSSQL.1", exists like in my other install. I'm hesitant to simply
re-install the product as recommended because that means reinstalling
SharePoint (since that's where my SQL Server install came from), and I don't
what other havoc that might wreak. Right now, I just need my website data
back.
Any suggestions you have are welcome. My apologies in advanced if this has
already been covered in another thread. I sampled the many entries regarding
this install in the discussion group but didn't see a solution for this. If
there is one, feel free to point me to the thread.

Crash with Kerio Personall Firewall v2.1.5 & KB951748 in XP Pro.
Hi!
Is anyone else here using old KPF v2.1.5, Windows XP SP2, and with this
KB951748? If so, then are you seeing any problems like Windows Explorer
crashing randomly (e.g., ntdll.dll) when using Windows Explorer?
I uninstalled this KB update and restarted explorer.exe (it crashed
actually and I needed to reboot PC), but no crashes now so far. Hmm!
Thank you in advance. :)

SOLUTION: Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack
So everyone is getting a different message or error code. In order to help
EVERYONE with their unique problem simply go to "program files," "microsoft
SQL Server," "90," "Setup Bootstrap," "LOG," "Hotfix," and "Summary" (note:
just select the normal Summary with no numbers in the name). Now a window
will pop up...look towards the middle left for a line that says "Error
Description" under the "Product Installation Status." The product should be
"SQL Server Database Services 2005."
Now all one needs to do is correct whatever it is in the error description.
For example, mine said "Error Description : MSP Error: 28062 SQL
Server Setup cannot install files to the compressed or encrypted folder:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. To continue, make sure that your
installation directories are not compressed or encrypted, or specify a
different directory, and then run SQL Server Setup again."
So I just went to Program Files and decompressed my Microsoft SQL Server
folder and voila!! it worked perfectly. To decompress just right click on
the Microsoft SQL Server folder, click on properties, and uncheck the box
next to Compress (you may have to go to Attributes and click on Advanced
first though).
Another person posted that this could also be a message:
The error description would be: "SQL Server Setup cannot upgrade the
specified instance because the previous upgrade did not complete. Start the
Remote Registry service and go to Add/Remove Programs, select the Change
button for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then select SQL instance [2] and
complete the setup."
There are probably more errors than the two i listed above. Just fix the
one that your computer specifies and all should work out in the end.
P.S. I also find it very lame that Microsoft could not test these updates
properly first before sending it out to its millions of users. Just shows
how ignorant this big company has become after people have become dependent
on it. Luckily more users are switching to Macs. I would too, but again,
there are some programs only found in Windows that are essential to my work
and therefore the big company has made me dependent on them again....... Tag: The Code One Tag: 263385

WGA problems

Genuine before you can install it, and the install went flawlessly. Is

Microsoft Update stopped working in May
MU (http://update.microsoft.com) stopped working following a recent =
"up"-grade (just another downgrade actually). It was in May IIRC. Now =
when visiting MU, right after the "Checking if your computer has the =
latest version..." stage, the process stops with:
"The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services =
is not running... To make sure these services are running: ........."
followed with a list of 12 tasks to do by the customer (the one who paid =
a lot of money to Microsoft to do this very work).
1) First time I saw this, I first decided that this one was the one too =
much and that this time I would NOT perform this new layer of stupid =
useless complication.
I recall that WU (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com), while officially =
claimed to SIMPLIFY the Windows update process, actually ADDED =
complications, to the point that it regularly stopped working on =
millions PCs.
Plenty people complained, MS would come with complicated workarounds =
that worked 2 times out of 3. Fortunately during all these years I =
applied a very simple trick that worked 100% of the times. Any try to =
suggest or only to show it to MS ended in the usual contempt for =
customers and refusal without knowing - in their well known acute case =
of NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here).
Then came MU (http://update.microsoft.com), officially claimed to =
simplify the update process for ALL the microsoftware(TM) on your =
computer. The previous flaw was partly corrected, but continued to =
plague many; fortunately my trick above continued to work 100% of the =
cases, including the ones when MU didn't. This situation worked =
flawlessly for a couple years.
Now MS not only adds another layer of gratuitous complications, but =
requires that THE CUSTOMER does the work FOR WHICH HE PAID MICROSOFT!!
Why doesn't MS make simpler, with a smaller number of simpler services, =
launching them without requiring the user to manually do the work? Is it =
so hard to, *at the right time*, ask the user his permission?
So I REFUSED this time to be once more the PAYING SLAVE of stupid bad =
workers at Redmont (I badly miss the small swift obliging efficient =
"micro-soft" Albuquerque company... or even the 1993 MS of Win 3.1 for =
WG). In ancient eras slaves didn't get paid, but at least they had not =
to pay!
2) After a few weeks I stupidly yielded and did the work requested by =
the MU page (make sure the 3 services "Automatic Updates", "Background =
Intelligent Transfer Service", "Event Log", are started; they were =
already). Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem. Hence I stopped =
visiting MU (My previous trick was, in this case, irrelevant, so I =
didn't try it 1st; only when writing this did I just verify that it =
actually doesn't work).
3) Today I visit again MU and I find that MS still didn't fix this =
service. I stop visiting it and keep my XP SP2 like it is. I am just =
reporting FWIW, just in case it meets a positive person at MS or in its =
NGs (in case there is one left).
4) OU (http://officeupdate.microsoft.com) also fails on the same PC, =
that has XP Pro, Office 2000 Pro.
5) The above is about my XP Pro laptop. MU and OU still work flawlessly =
on my good old W2KSP4 desktop. Yes I know, Most Vocal Posters will blame =
my laptop without thinking or searching any other hypothesis - this is =
one more reason why I didn't report earier and why I now stopped hoping =
any help from these once helpful NGs.

Windows Update
The other night my son failed to run the Windows Update when he was shutting
down. After that we were no longer able to use our browser. It just fails to
connect to the internet. I have run extensive tests through Qwest and the
router seems to be fine. The network shows that is connected . . . . . any
ideas? Tag: The Code One Tag: 263261
Windows Not booting After recent update.
After the latest update patch for Vista, my Computer hangs during the boot. I
have already rolled back to the 07/07 update and was able to get the computer
booted up, then ran the update again. Is this a known issue with the newest
update patch?
I'm running AVAST! as my virus software with no firewall other than Vistas. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263256
Can I buy cheap Brother printer cartridges at www.ink4less.com?
I have a Gateway computer with the following: 1) a 1400-MHz Pentium 4
processor, 2) 256 MB of RAM, and 3) 40 GB of hard-drive space.
The computer is running Windows Millennium Edition (ME).
A month ago, I bought a Brother MFC-240C printer. This is a
multifunction device: printer, copier, fax, and scanner.
Recently, my "starter" yellow-ink cartridge ran out of ink, and one
other cartridge is about to do the same.
At the Best Buy store where I bought the printer, Brother cartridges
are sold for $13.50 each. I believe that these are the LC51B, LC51Y,
LC51C, and LC51M cartridges.
Well, I have discovered the website known as www.ink4less.com This
website seems to sell these cartridges for $4.21 each.
Here is the url:
http://ink4less.com/sitetools/product.php/cat/4209
So, is this some kind of trick or scam? Can I really buy genuine
Brother cartridges for only $4.21?
Thanks for any help you guys can give me. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263255
KB948109 Woes
I have two SQL Server 2005 Standard servers - running on Server 2003
Standard x86.
After running to the Microsoft Update site last night, I selected the SQL
high-priority update KB948109 along with the other Server 2003-centric
updates. All updates were successful except for the SQL update. I then tried
downloading the KB file directly from Download Centre and ran it from the C:
drive. Again, the update failed.
After rebooting both servers, SQL services would not start. Here is what was
done by the onsite DBA to fix the problems:
It seems that one of the patches applied to the SQL Servers (KB948109)
attempted to access the MSSQLSYSTEMRESOURCE database. This database holds
all of the objects in SQL Server and is a new "database" for SQL Server
2005. The items that are in this database were previously held in the
MASTER database but this is no longer the case. I say this is a "database"
because it's a hidden database that's not managed in the normal way (can't
access it through Management Studio, can't back it up using maintenance
plans, etc.).
The issue appears to be the fact that we have put the data and log files for
all of our databases in the non-default location of C:\Programs Files\etc...
Of course this is a Microsoft recommended practice to distribute the data
and log files and something we've been doing since SQL Server 7. We saw
this issue first with the application of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 when
we were building the server. This appears to be a known issue and is in my
opinion a huge bug in the application of patches and service packs. This
was not an issue with SQL Server 7 or SQL Server 2000 but of course SQL 2005
is a different beast.
Specifically what appeared to happen is the patch affected the log file of
that database causing it to be a different version than the data file (the
log file showed a modified date of December 2007 which should be
impossible - we installed SQL Server in late May). This means that the .MDF
file in D:\SQLData was modified differently than the .LDF file in
E:\SQLLogs. I found that you cannot restore this database in the normal
way - you have to restore these files from a file-based backup. We don't
currently have this (but that will change immediately). However, I found a
.LDF file sitting in the same directory as the .MDF file with the same
modified dates. So, I renamed the "broken" .LDF file and copied the file
from the D: drive to the E: drive and voila, the problem is fixed. Didn't
have to restore any files so there should not be any issue of losing any
objects in SQL Server.
I still can't fathom how this update was deemed "ready for public
consumption".
Good luck. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263238
Updates & Hotfixes & no Internet connection
OK. A lot of things got messed on my computer
Almost every Hotfix and Security update for XP SP2 was gone (not listed in
Add/Remove Programs) and Automatic Updates just would not work
So I searched for help and did the following:
I added BITS and WUAUSERV to the netsvcs key in the Regsitry under
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost
That got Automatic Updates working again and it wanted me to install Windows
Installer 3.1. My msi.dll file at the time was version 3.0 something. I
attempted to install 3.1 several times, but it always failed, even when I
downloaded and used the executable file. I was unable to uncheck the checkbox
for 3.1 in the Update list because it was grayed out.
So in my Windows\System32 folder I renamed Msi.dll msi.old, Msiexec.exe
msiexec.old and Msihnd.dll msihnd.old, restarted my computer and then
attempted to install Windows Installer 3.1. I believe it failed to install
once again and I never received the restart computer prompt. It is currently
listed as being installed in Add/Remove Programs, eventhough the System log
in Event Viewer says that that specific attempt failed
However, it seemed to work as other updates began to download. It froze at
93% so I restarted my computer and then all of the updates were downloaded
and ready to be installed. (My settings download the updates, but let me
choose when to install them) There were 91 total updates!
I decided to install all 91. After about an hour or so they were done and I
was prompted to restart. Once I did, I was unable to connect to the Internet.
My
cable modem was fine and I was successfully able to use the tracert command
with the DOS prompt, but I could not get any sites to load or check my e-mail
with OE. The only problem I saw in the System log in Event Viewer was a DHCP
warning
I did a System Restore to the point before the 91 updates were installed and
my connection was back.
I guess the updates will download again once I restart, but I don't want to
install them. My best bet is probably installing them one at a time or maybe
just a few. I don't want to install everything just to lose my connection
again. This is why I download but don't install. Some of these updates caused
me problems in the past. Just have to figure out which ones may cause me to
lose my connection or cause a DHCP error Tag: The Code One Tag: 263231

KB948109 update installs without error but automatic update reinst
Hi,
I'm having problems with update KB948109. Unlike others I don't get an error
message and automatic update installs but right after it does it tries to
install it again. I've tried downloading and istalling the update manually
but automatic update still doesn't recognise it as installed and tries to
install it again.
I've also tried other suggestions but no luck, attached below is the summary

Zone Alarm and KB951748
I've read through several of the messages regarding the new update -
KB951748. I first noticed my problems a few days ago. Yesterday, I couldn't
get my computer to connect at all so then called my ISP. After telling them
that I had Norton and Zone Alarm, he game me a number to Zone Alarm tech
support. They wouldn't answer the call - "That number is busy, good bye" or
some such. So, I went ahead and uninstalled Zone Alarm. I hated to do that
as that little locked symbol means a lot to this non-technical person. I
immediately got a notice from Norton that I didn't have my firewall turned on
and did I want to turn it on (sorry, don't remember exact messages) - I
clicked yes. Now, whenever I try to connect after having logged off at one
point, I always have to run the diagnostics - same as I had to do with the
Zone Alarm before I wasn't able to access at all.
Though I have "Automatic Updates" checked, the past two days I've come to
the Microsoft website and clicked on updates and have have major updates
download. I figured one of those would have the fix for the troubles I've
had connecting lately, plus I've been feeling unsafe without Zone Alarm even
though the Norton thing assures me I'm good.
All this to ask a couple of questions: Why am I still having trouble
connecting to the internet (still being able to resolve by running
diagnostics), and am I covered with just Norton Incoming Firewall or should I
download the current version of Zone Alarm Free? Is Microsoft firewall safe
and effective?
I'm not computer illiterate, but am feeling a bit helpless these past 24
hours.... Thanks for advice. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263222
Frustrated with update.
I have followed all sorts of advice but go round and round in circles. I have
reregistered the update things but always go back to scratch. My computer has
been horrible for two days. Not sure what is going on but want to get SP2
which is impossible at this point. I cannot get to my computer from the icon
or anywhere else (the actual drop down menu) so obviously something is off.
Hope to get SP2 or even SP 3 at this point which might reload some of the
damaged files. Any advice welcome. I am running XP. Tag: The Code One Tag: 263217
no sign of updates download or install
I have Automatic Updates on my Windows XP SP3 computer set to notify me of
updates, not to download and install them. I received the recent
notification, and about 20 minutes ago I clicked on the shield and then
clicked to download the updates. The shield disappeared, and the hourglass
flickered a couple times, and then nothing. Normally I'm asked if the
downloads should be installed.
How do I find out if the updates have been installed?
Thank you!

Windows Update
Everyone has the same problem but I can't seem to get mine resolved. I have
tried un-installing the update from add/remove programs. I also tried a
system restore all the way back to the 3rd. I still cannot get on the net.
Any ideas......? Tag: The Code One Tag: 263207
XP SP3
I loaded the latest version of ZoneAlarm basic - that is version 7.0.483.000.
Then I loaded the latest updater software from Windows update.
Then, with some trepidation, I loaded and installed XP SP3 (KB936929) onto
XP Pro.
It all took almost three hours (on 1M broadband), but everything now seems
to be working as it should.

Mr P (and very much relieved) Tag: The Code One Tag: 263204
