I fixed this last time by going to safe mode and renaming
softwaredistribtion folder to softwaredistribution.old but----it will not
install updates again, any new suggesstions?
Thanks
 
Not sure if i am there at that place--I am at windows update log
How do I get to vista Event viewer??
 
Click on the Start/Orb button at bottom left on the taskbar, then type
event, then click on Event Viewer.
 
maybe this?

Thanks Mac--I went to defender news group and someone suggested that I do
the rename thing over again--so I did, deleted the first old and renamed it
