Error Code: 0x8007007A, Error Message: The data area passed to a system call is too small RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi!

     

    Each time I start Windows, I see these 2 messages 24 times in the event log:

     

    OneCare Firewall failed while executing the following method: DeleteSingleInstance. Error Code: 0x8007007A, Error Message: The data area passed to a system call is too small.

    OneCare Firewall failed while executing the following method: DeleteSingleInstance. Error Code: 0x80070490, Error Message: Element not found.

     

    Do you get these 2 same messages?

     

    Thanks!

  • Hi!

     

    I forgot to say I run:

     

    Windows Live OnCare Beta (v2.0) (of course)

    Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bits

     

    Bye!

  • There have been a few other reports in the forum about this. I'm going to move your thread to the Firewall folder. I don't know what it means, but we'll await comment from the OneCare team, perhaps.

  • Hi!

     

    Today, we have a new refresh of WLOC2.

    And, good news, I no longer see the 2 messages.

     

    But, I see this new one 10 times during logon:

     

    OneCare Firewall failed while executing the following method: GetPolicy. Error Code: 0x8007007A, Error Message: The data area passed to a system call is too small.
    .

     

    Merci beaucoup et bonne journée!

  • Ah, beta testing - one step forward and one step back. :-) Better than 2 steps back, at least.
