730999 2008-12-19 10:01:00 Hi all,

Getting error 80070424 when trying to update Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

I have googled and it, done the registering commands with lots of files, but still can't get it to work :(

Any ideas?

731000 2008-12-19 10:39:00 is it for a particular update or when searching for updates? GameJunkie (72)

731005 2008-12-19 11:00:00 I tried to manually update today as I had noticed no updates had been installed for a while. I haven't tried waiting for it to do an auto update. Can I 'trigger' one?

I had previously installed several sets of updates no problem.

:(

731006 2008-12-19 11:13:00 you could try setting it to include "recommended updates" as well as important updates which it downloads and installs automatically by going to "change settings" within windows update itself. GameJunkie (72)
731007 2008-12-19 12:56:00 Could it be that you have fixed the original problem but a second one is now occuring ? Try shutting off your firewall and anti-virus just while you are trying to get the updates.

Good Luck!
