Still having Windows Update Problems

[ross m. greenberg]

When I tried to do a Windows update through tools in IE7 or through the Start Menu, I get a weird error message telling me that Windows update is on able to figure out what I need updated and I get an error message of "800b0109"

When I look that up on the KnowledgeBase I don't find anything.

What might be wrong and how can I resolve this problem?

I am running a Windows Vista Ultimate.

Thanks!

I can't be bothered reading your posts from WUGNET or other forums you may
have posted the same problem on so I do not know what you have tried so far.

Anything preventing you from doing a reinstallation of Vista?

Try disabling your Antivirus utility then try updating again.

Fantastic news!: going through the cited article I was able to get Windows Update to work eventually by turning off the net services so I could rename the .log. I could then run Windows Update to completion, selecting the components to update, repeating as necessary, emulating Windows Update after a automatic system configuration.

It feels so good to be able to run Windows Update again!

Thank you!!
