What causes Error 0x80070057

# Windows Update simply has an issue with your "SoftwareDistribution" folder.

# This appears to be an issue with the program Netop which enters a driver entry into the enum\root\unknown key in the registry.

# You have old versions of OKI drivers installed.


To resolve this error, use one of the following methods:

Resolution Suggestion One:

# Try renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder:


Click Start, Choose Run.

In the Run box, type: services.msc

Click OK.

Right-click the Automatic Updates service.

Click Stop.

Stopping the service will take a moment.

Now rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:

a) Click Start, click Run, type

%systemroot%

...and then click OK.

b) Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.

c) Type SoftwareDistribution.old and then press ENTER to rename this folder.


Now click Start, and choose Run.

In the Run box, type: services.msc

Click OK.

Right-click the Automatic Updates service.

Click Start.

Starting the service will take a moment.

NB - You will lose your update download history but this is not that important compared to not being anle to download the updates!

Now Try WU website again.


Resolution Suggestion Two:

# Customer will see error 0x800A138F when scanning for updates, but the Windows Update.log file will show error 0x80070057:

This appears to be an issue with the program Netop which enters a driver entry into the enum\root\unknown key in the registry.

Resolution Suggestion Three:

# Update drivers for your OKI device:

Typically folk complain of problems with OKI B4300 drivers and OKI Page 14ex drivers installed...

Visit http://www.oki.com and update your device drivers.

Remove the ram cover, with laptop switched off
Remove the 2 ram modules and insert one in the slot that is furthest away from the motherboard
Just underneath the ram is a thin plastic sheet, gently peel back to reveal two solder contacts
they should say B500, TOUCH THESE WITH A FLAT BLADED SCREWDRIVER while powering on the laptop, the bios password should go.
Replace ram and sheet, replace ram cover reboot.

Sorry Keys come when product is purchased!

our question is not clear. If you were asking about memory type than it should have DDR2 slot

poor signal strenght, someone tampering with your connection if you are not using the sequre connection, try using the connection CD to setup the wireless properly or upgrade your wireless adapter

insert a WinXP Cd in the CD rom drive and restart and let it boot from the disk, let it install the OS again...format the HD (u will lose all data there but ur machine will come back)

I had this problem too, only there was zero sound, even when I clicked Test. I know the jack is good because it's never done any of the typical crackling or cutting out when the cord is pulled in a certain direction, etc. - I knew it had to be a setting of some kind. So here's how I solved this particular problem:[N.B. - This is in Windows 7 OS] I went into Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Sound -> Manage Audio Devices. In the popup window's Playback tab (which comes up by default,) I right-clicked on Headphones, then clicked Properties. The new popup window's General tab comes up as default; I clicked on the Levels tab, where there's a slider control for headphone volume. For whatever reason, this was set to 0. I changed it to 100 and I immediately got sound. 'Clicked OK, and exited Control Panel. .

Power wire broken

It's quite possible that your power brick and/or battery are dead. If thats the case the laptop should still work fine. If external power parts are fine the internal components that manage power may be broken or loose. Another possibility is that the cpu got to hot and shut down automatically. In which case you need to wait a while before turning back on. With most of these cases you'll probably need to have it looked at by someone.

Maybe you can replace RAM module, it looks like memory is the problem.

Power on laptop, push F8 until you get Windows boot options, and choose Last known good configuration, or Safe mode if this does not help. After that, you can try to delete viruses.

It sounds like two possible things. One thing may be that your screen is not working anymore. Can you get a monitor and plug it into your port located on the side of your laptop? If your screen pops up on the monitor this tells us your screen is either in need of replacement or a connection may be loose.

If that is not the case......

Another thing is your hard drive may not be initiating. If you feel confident enough I would open the back where the hard drive is located and make sure the hard drive is not loose. Does it give you any beeping sounds when you turn it on? Can you count the number of beeps? This will tell you what the problem is on boot up. Also, is it a black screen with a cursor blinking?
