Getting Error Message 0x80070641 When Trying To Install Windows Update
I have my computer set to receive auto updates (Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2) from Microsoft, but my computer refuses to install service pack 3 & it says "Error 0x80070641." I could really use someone's help in fixing this problem. I have also recently been having problems installing different software from CD's.
Thanks for the help. I just ran into a new problem. My Security Accounts Manager (error 1058) and Remote Registry Properties (error 1079) both are stopped & I keep getting those error messages when I try to re-start them. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again for tryingthe help but the Security Accounts Manager (error 1058) and Remote Registry Properties (error 1079) still are both stopped & get the error messages when I try to re-start them. Any help would be appreciated.
Click on Start|Control Panel|Adminstrative Tools. Click on Computer Management icon. Click on Event Viewer. Click + sign side of Application. If you see a Yellow Triangle with Black exclamation mark inside or a Red Circle with White X, right click on that event. Left click on properities and write down error message. Let me know what it says.
This is the exact words in the first message (Red circle X):
The run-time environment was unable to initialize for transaction required to support transactional components. Make sure that MS-DTC is running. (DtcGetTransactionManagerEx(): hr = 0x8004do1b).
This is the exact words in the second message (Yellow Warning Triangle):
Windows saved used D21NBB21\robert cohen registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a current user account, try configuring the service to run in either LocalService or NetworkService account.
Your help is greatly appreciated, as I don't know what to do. I also tried to copy the contents of present files, but it also tried to copy my "G:" drive (Maxtor), so there wasn't enough space. I was trying to make a copy, in case I had to re-install Windows XP PRoffesional Service Package 1 CD that came with my computer in 2003.
Now we're on to something. You mentionned the Maxtor Drive. USB or Firewire I'll bet. Uh Oh! Go back to Start|Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Event Viewer. Click on System. Look for the Yellow Triangles and Red Circles again. Right click on those system events. Left click on Properties and see if you have any reference to your Maxtor hardrive. If so, this is a known fault with win xp (SP2). See here:
I called Microsoft & they say they need an article ID number for the Hotfix; otherwise they can't help me. Do you know the article number, or is there any website that I can use to look it up?
Thanks Again for all your help,

First, go to Start|Control Panel. Click on Add/Remove Programs. Look for KB832671 update. Uninstall it if found.
Microsoft recommends that you use the Office Update site to determine if your computer requires this update before installing it.
