It would be easier to tell which steps are for which OS if they were sorted that way or better, this fix was rewritten for the exact OS and version is is for. I found many fixes with this problem and lots of the regedit changes don't exist in different OS versions. BAnonymous

I don't understand why the link to this fix and the download is not easier to find. I have spent 5 days searching for the solution to the error I got when running updates and not one time did that link appear in the microsoft or bing results. ridiculous. totally shameful.Anonymous

Incredible that this new fangled opearting system is now being superceded by windows 7. Hopefully this will not be as a diasater as windows 6 vista. What a waste of money XP ran fine and this overbloated system came along to fool us to buy it and then for a whole bunch of people the update service just fails and causes tremendous amounts of loss in time and hair. Thank you, yet again Microsoft! Apart from 98 and XP. The rest of the cousins kind of stunk a little. Hopefully the new windows 7 isn't a smelly cousin and is a nice clean well shaved boy. We should all get a free upgrade to it if we have update errors, but I doubt if that would happen.Anonymous

'netsh reset winsock' What about programs that have entries in the Winsock catalog? Shouldn't these entries be recreated after running this command? I don't see how this command can be part of the fix without consideration for the affect on installed apps.Anonymous

I had to download Windows XP 3 and install Sage Peachtree 2012. Went home and came back this morning and nothing. I restored my computer to Saturday, December 31st. Now I can't do updates, because it is telling me that my I need active X, but when I go to Manage Add ons, it don't get that option. I have enough memory on my computer. The problem is is that we have dial-up--no other choice right now. I need to get Windows XP 3 installed ASAP, along with Peachtree 2012 so I can do payroll.Anonymous

Hi I keep getting error 80070005. I have spent since oct trying to fix but nothing works. have tried Microsoft Fix It, plus the latest download of the Update Reset Tools (SubInac)2012 from your site. Did not fix. Have restarted and refresh in services. Plus I lost Realtek sound as well though it says its there. I cannot hop onto the microsoft sign in site (I have an ID) just comes back with error on site or busy etc and try again later. Please help very frustrated. ThanksAnonymous
