  I like the spelling of the iolo System Mechanic better than real spelling.  "lol".
  Seriously - it probably caused some of your questions.

  So you say you've tried a lot of things, but since this is your first message and that you did not specify what you tried...

  Download (save) system update and do a right click on it and "Run as Administrator".  Choose the right one for you:

  • All supported x 86 Windows Vista (32-bit) versions
  • All supported based on x 64 (64-bit) versions of Windows Vista

  Let things run/fix.

  Reset.

  Try to update.

  If it still fails, try the following:

  Reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  Reset.

  Try to update.

  If it still does not work, try this...

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  3. Reset
  4. Try to update.

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  
  STILL no? We have something to try...

  Use this FixIt:
  How to get the latest version of the Windows Update Agent

  Reset.

  Save components WU:

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:

     regsvr32 Jscript.dll
     regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
     regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

  If System Mechanic is installed, it is your troublemaker & you have lots of company! [1]

  See my colleague Maurice RESPONSE message in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d6fedf33-dc1b-451f-9aab-97429f916180

  If still no joy, contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) supported for assistance-, they are well aware of the problem posed their candidacy.

  I get an error code 641 when trying to install the Windows updates on Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on a s 531 Dell Inspiron.  The Windows updates I try to install are -

  I don't have any idea what to do.  Any help appreciated.  (I already ran the general 'Microsoft Fix - it', but it did not help... Thank you very much

  Original title: Error Code 641

  ... I submitted the question half hoping that this problem was not System Mechanic.  However, I get it now.  I have to uninstall System Mechanic from this computer as well...

  Tip: Get this error resolved 641 and KB2686827 & KB2656368 installed first.
