A search on "Error: 0x80070424" from your report yields many hits, such as
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968002
It appears that your error is related to the update process. The first thing I suggest you try is to recover to a system restore point prior to when the problem first appeared.

Hi Noel,
Many thanks - but when I do the CMD thing and you say "wait for the system to find the one file" it doesn't do this, just stays as C:\USERS\NAME>
Have I missed something? Another reply suggested doing a System Restore which I've done with no success...
I am really grateful for your advice, just a bit of a novice to these things...And you're spot on - I used Wise Fixer!

That looks OK nowPlease confirm by going to Validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate – if it passes you will be offered IE9 and MSE (you don’t need to take either).You also need to check that System Restore is functioning properly – to test it, simply create a new Restore Point (click on Start, type ‘create restore point’ [without the quotes] and click on the found link – click on the Create... button, and see what happens)

I had a similar problem resulting from using WiseFixer and your post here appears to have cured the problem. Many, many thanks - this was driving me nuts.
A couple of things - I ran slui.exe 3 in order to re-input my product key after running your fix before I could get acknowledgement that my version was genuine. Does that make sense?
On another note, WiseFixer appears to be extremely aggressive in their marketing with what appears to be scam review sites supporting their software. A google search on WiseFixer comes up with hundreds of sites that all essentially contain the same review. One can only assume that they have bought up all these review sites in order to fill up google. This in itself must surely constitute a scam and there ought to be some way to stop it surely???

Don't assume that. There are many websites that mirror stuff just to sell advertising. You ought to see how many sites pick up new game releases and mirror the product descriptions and reviews. The original site gets wider exposure for the product and the mirror site gets content. It is all automated. It is annoying to see when you do a search, but legitimate.

Personally, I’d like to see all registry cleaners banned completely – they cause much more trouble than they cure.Colin is somewhere near right with his analysis – but WiseFixer offers ‘associates’ up to 30% royalties on new sales, so that also drives advertising.With regard to having to re-enter the Key after repairing SPPSVC, it’s not too surprising, as other things may have been affected as well – which is why I get people to also check the Shadow Copy Service (via System Restore) after the initial fix.Please start a new thread, and post your current MGADiag report, so that we can check it.

Hey Noel -- I've been wrassling with this problem for well over a month--and so has a computer guy I hired.
So WiseFixer was the culprit! And to think I've been downloading registry cleaners to try to fix the problem that a registry cleaner created.
Many thanks for your fix, I'm so relieved--and my bank account is grateful for no more sessions with computer repair guys.
...And now I should uninstall all those registry cleaners?

PS: Do you recommend installing Microsoft Security Essentials? I already have Norton. I just installed MSE too--should I uninstall it?
(Sorry if this should be a separate thread--I don't know the etiquette...)
Thanks again, Noel.

NEVER have two active AV’s installed!They WILL end up fighting each other..My recommendation would be to uninstall Norton, and run the Norton Removal tool – then uninstall and reinstall MSENorton is overhyped, overpriced, and over-complex – and takes way too much maintenance. MSE you can pretty much install and forget about.he Norton Removal tool can be found here.... https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

It seems there are an infinite number of ways for the uninformed computer user to screw things up! Many thanks again, Noel.Thursday, November 10, 2011 10:55 PM

Hi again, Noel.
I copied and emailed your solution (which seems to have worked gangbusters) to my computer guy, who wrote the following:
"I was reluctant to use that because (I think) it disables the Genuine Advantage checking routine and the passcode that the program leaves behind that Microsoft checks. Thus, I'm not sure whether you'll get any future Windows updates or not. Well, let's let it ride for a few days and see if next Tuesday's update goes through. (Microsoft usually updates on late Tuesday/early Wednesday)."
I hadn't thought this solution disables the Genuine Advantage check. I thought it just undid the evil that WiseFixer did. And I was able to download a batch of new Windows updates, which I assumed would reinstall the Genuine check if it had been uninstalled....
Your thoughts on this?

My solution does NOT disable the WGA check – it actual ENABLES it again, after it has been UNINSTALLED by crapware like WiseFixer.The whole point of the fix is that it resets the registry settings for the Software Protection Service back to what they were originally designed to be.Your techie is talking out of his nether regions, and should be fired with prejudice.Try going to Windows updates now – MS released some updates on Tuesday this week.If they don’t (or haven’t already been) install – what exact error message do you get?

Ok great--wanted to make sure I understood correctly.
I was able to download the new updates, no error message, hallelujah.
Thanks a million, Noel.
