    I had problems too with IE9 and it's updates... as you say all the other updates work I don't think that the Windows Update the question... is IE itself... IMHO...

    For days, I was getting the BSOD and it became progressively worse as the days passed... Now, I have all stable and works very well yet.

    If my suggestion for you is what I did... sort the problem at the source the progam in other - IE there is a form of corruption imho.

    First download and save IE9 to your download folder make sure you have the correct version, for example English Vista 64-bit

    Uninstall the current version... you may have to restart... I suggest you only do it anyway... It is cleaner that way. Then reinstall IE. I suggest that you set up with as few add on the as possible and add them at a later date, as and when you need it, preferably one at a time.

    Once you have reinstalled IE and restarted the kickoff of Windows Update If you have not automatically set to run... and I think that it will update the update of security OK.

    Good luck - let me know
