Thanks! Darrell Gorter MS tech

[Dave Horne]

I have been having problems with Windows Updates and after a handful of
e-mails Darrell has solved my problem. I still don't understand this but
what he suggested seems to have solved my problem. (My computer, a Dell,
came with Vista Home Premium preinstalled.)

It seems I was missing a 'Default' folder in C:\Users\ and he picked up on
that. After creating that new folder and copying a ntuser.dat file to that
location my Update problem sems to have gone away. I still do not
understand the connection between 'User\Default' and 'Updates' but now I
seem to be 'up to date'. I followed all the instructions from MSKB and Help
(right clicking on the 'failed' update) to delete various files in
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution re this Update problem but Darrell's fix
seems to be the one that worked.

I'll know for sure once a new update appears but I'm sleeping a lot better.
I thought I would have to reinstall Vista and all the new drivers but things
are looking better. I was not looking forward to that.

Darrell, thanks!

hahaha...oh, I do detect a hint of jealousy or what!
Where Darrell actually helps people all you do is beg for attention.
Shame on you! Go get professional psychological clinical help with your
obvious problems and stop your bandwidth sucking bullshit postings in
this ng.
