Solved Problem with SURT hanging when downloading (KB947821)

[Bobthequill]

second try

The Ashampoo WinOptimiser is known to cause problems under certain conditions - like all registry cleaners. It's probably best to remove temptation, and uninstall it

Hi Noel
I am back from Queensland and still have the problem.

The updates are :-
KB2862330, error code 80070490,
KB2862335, error code 800F0826,
KB2864202, error code 800F0826,
KB2868038, error code 80070490.

I have removed two versions of Ashampoo Optimiser, and Zone Alarm,

so rely on Windows defender and Windows firewall.

I have just downloaded and run SURT for win 64 and copied CBS log to my desktop and compressed it with Alzip.

I do hope it attached. Oops no, I don't think it did. It is showing 500 - Internal Server Error.

I will try later. Second try one hour later, nope! I had best check the zip file size.

Ah too big. I removed the last two Cbs.persist logs. Perhaps send 'em later.

OK, that worked.

Regards

Bobthequill

There are a number of these errors in the background log...

SFC and CheckSUR are clear.

I'll see what I can come up with on this one - it looks at first glance to me like a language mismatch, but it could be something else.

Well, if I could find and re-install win 7 SP1, would that help?

I certainly have not installed in any other language, at least, not knowingly.

Going to bed now.

Note: The error was when I hit return after last command did not run. It did run at admin level.
Nor do I understand three C:\Users\Bob before a command runs.

Gee! This takes me back twenty years. I still have my MS -DOS users guide version 5 but,
none of the information has stuck in my brain. I was a mainframe hardware specialist in the seventies
and did use the early IBM machines for small jobs in the eighties.

A French connection?

Noel

I now see why you consider it a language problem. I have found the KB976933 entries in the registry and I see all language versions are there but , the one listed is in fact French. The fr-FR shows this.

I have tracked through updates but can find no record of having downloaded such an update. perhaps it existed in the original software??

Is it possible that I can edit the reg to use the en-EN one? Or is there more that needs changing?

Something changed early September and that's when these update failures started.

I just have to figure out what.

Bobthequill

 

[NoelDP]

You and me both
the output from the commands is identical to mine - so I have to looks elsewhere for the error that triggers this. don't worry about the Access Denied error - that's common and should really read 'file in use'

Back later - shout if you haven't heard within 48hrs!

Intention

Thank you Noel
I am off out tomorrow to buy another hard drive as my 1TB unit with win 7 32 in a dock is getting erratic.

I will then be in a position to image the complete win 7 64 alongside the win 7 32, then

install a new version and update it before copying over all my rubbish.

This is, of course, a last resort if, I am still struggling in a few weeks time.

I assume that, if I don't fix this soon my system will gradually degrade.

Hi Noel

I did buy a new hard drive to replace my 1TB Win 7 32Bit unit but, before doing that, I have used it for a full re-install of Win 7 64 bit which resides on my 500GB drive. I have transferred over all my docs and pics and movies etc,. so am in the happy situation of being able to fiddle with the reg on the 500GB drive, to see if I can get back to pre SP1 install, which, I understand is KB976933?

Well, almost a happy situation, except for one thing. Play Ready will not load on the new instal so I can't see Win Media Player on my network. I assume it is some sort of DRM permit but I am darned if I know where it resides or should load.

Anyway, on these strings I see Golden has fixed this same problem by going back 98 restore points and re- installing KB976933 without externally sourced antivirus or firewalls loaded.
Unfortunately, he doesn't say how he did this.

I am happy to do the same if someone could point me in the right direction?

I just re-installed everything so problem gone away. Thanks anyway Noel.
