clock out of sync?
« on: January 25, 2006, 02:56:24 PM »
Whenever I try to scan for downloads on Microsoft Update I get the message

[Error number: 0x80072F8F]
  Your computer's date and time appear to be out of sync with an update certificate. To fix this:
1. In Control Panel, open Date and Time Properties.
2. Ensure that the date and time are correct.
 
 Read more about steps you can take to resolve this problem yourself.  

I did what it said, but my clock is correct, and nothing else helped.  Any suggestions? I can't get any updates from Microsoft, because I can't even see what I need.  Thanks for any and all help.

      Check this too http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/
      Computers were never designed to be clocks, that's why they can't keep time.

      Yes, my clock and date and time zone are correct.  I downloaded the Automatic Clock Sync. Now it says "Software Upgrade for Some Windows Components Required" I clicked "download and install" and it downloaded the upgrades, but could not install them.   Thanks for the quick reply!!

          7. Select the Tools menu and then select Internet Options
          8. Choose the Advance tab
          9. Unselect 'check for server certificate revocation' reboot PC and test again!

          It was already unchecked.   I can get it to scan, and it says "Software Upgrade for Some Windows Components Required".  I click download and install and it downloads, but can't install.

            Did you reboot PC and test again!  ::)

            OK, so it looks like you are over your initial problem and now you have a new problem. Correct?
            PULL!

              Yes, I suppose it is a new problem.  And NO I am not blond!!  Yes I did reboot and test again, and it actually installed 1 of the 4 downloaded components.  I guess it's a Microsoft problem now, huh?  I really appreciate all the help you have given me, and I still say you guys are the most helpful and the fastest of all the forums I have used.  Sorry if I wasn't specific enough in my answers, I'm still relatively new to this.

                  Try going back to Microsoft, re-scan & see what happens.
