80240043

I get a consistent 80240043 error message when you try to run Windows Update on Vista x 64 device.  Thoughts?

Hi kerouact

 

Method 1:

According to your Windows Vista architecture you can download then install and run the tool update system - CheckSur you can download the tool from links below depending on your system type and check if you can install the update-

Download the tool update system (64-bit)

Download (32-bit) system update readiness tool

Method 2:

You can also visit the link provided below and check if update components reset allows you to install the updates without any problems-

    I searched google and bing to try to find some information about this error code of the last week. I can see what needs to be updated, but when I press on install this code appears. I worked with someone in the Vistax64 Forums and here's what we were doing. http://www.vistax64.com/windows-updates/248473-error-code-80240043-a.html . As you can see I'm still having a problem, I was hoping someone could lead me in another direction. I don't have a DVD the computer came with. Thanks for your help.

    If you are not able to boot from your DVD player, then it sounds as if you may have a hardware problem that is causing problems.  You need to try to start with the OEM restore disc or a disc of Windows Vista.  If you do not have access to them, and you need to get information on the reader, then I suggest either out the drive and connect it to another PC to try to recover the data.  If you are not able to do so a local computer repair shop must provide data recovery services.  If you are able to get a Vista DVD and are able to boot from it so you can extract data and save it to an external drive before you perform a repair or reinstall.
