Hi all, This is my first post here, what a great forum, much bigger than most i've visited. My problem is, I can install most windows updates but when it is one of these embedded Q823*** ones as soon after I press the install button I get the error message box "QFE Installer Error" with " WEUpdate cannot retrieve information needed for setup from database. Setup cannot continue". I have 8 of these to install and all give the same error message. Could it be because of some service I have disabled? I have XP SP1 installed and all other XP Pro updates installed apart from these. Can anyone help me ? Many thanks in advance.

You can search around on Google on your own a bit more. I, for one, won't put that much effort into it.
If you can't figure it out, a reinstall should fix it.Comment

If you are not interested in putting in effort to help someone, then don't bother leaving a stuck up comment.Comment

That's wasn't a stuck-up comment...
You can either search through Google on your own (which you can do just as well as I can...), or you can reinstall the operating system.Comment

If you had read my post..... "Got nothing of value from google either" you would have realised I HAD searched google, for hours with no luck as it happens, thats why I posted here.
As for...."That's wasn't a stuck-up comment" ... Really? Do you tell every person posting a query here that "I, for one, won't put that much effort into it" ? I think not.Comment

I figured you had just spent five minutes and not really tried. My point was that I have no idea how to fix this without a reinstall (actually, have you tried system restore? that might work). I do in fact tell people to go search Google all the time. Some are so lazy that they come here, and ask a question that the first result from a Google search can answer. Basically, I won't spend hours searching on Google for you. I didn't realize you had already put time into Google. I was telling you to put a bunch of time into Google. Reinstalling would probably be an easier fix at this point.Originally posted by Ed
You can also try various Microsoft searches, as they can be a good way to avoid the crap given by Google.
But if Google and MS haven't found anything useful, try System Restore or reinstall Windows XP. :2cents:Comment
