Want to stop error messages

The error message "Failed error 8E5E03FA" will appear before your screen if windows Vista is unable to install the needed updates for Windows and the process has failed. The good news here is that you can fix this problem all by yourself, without any professional aid. Just follow these easy steps.

1. Type in "CMD" in the search box found on your Start Menu.

2. A search result will appear. Right click CMD and select "Run as administrator" among the options in the dropdown menu.

3. If you have successfully done steps 1 and 2, this command prompt will appear:

• The encircled word (inside the red line) is a command to be typed in by you. So basically the next step is type "net stop cryptsvc" in the command prompt and press enter.
• Type this next command, "ren catroot2 catroot3" and press enter.
• The commands will be executed. Wait a while.
• Type "exit" and the command prompt window will close.

4. Restart your PC.

So that's it! You have fixed the error. Visit Here to know more about Windows Vista solutions.
