769774 2009-04-30 12:36:00 Anyone has this problem here?

I was trying to update windows vista and it gave me this error, and in the help section it said that it is because your firewall is blocking it (I only have the windows firewall), and the recommended solution is the add the windows update website to the firewalls safe list .

This is ridiculous so I turned the firewall off all together and tried the auto update again and it gave me the same error!!

How can I fix this problem? I know I can manually update it but I would like a way to fix the auto update so it makes life easier for me :)

Thanks heaps for the help in advance:) cheers .
