Have been trying to apply a number of update today but they keep failing at
reboot telling me "updates could not configure correctly reverting changes"
and when i look at the error codes they are all the same "8001AA7" i have
tried looking this up and can't find out what it is or how to fic it.

Can anyone help?

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or
newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

Is this a sudden, new problem?

What updates were you trying to install (cite the KB numbers)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

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