I can't update anything and I am at a loss about how to solve this problem.

I'm running on Windows vista SP1. (I know there is a SP2, but can't get it)

If I try to update via windows update I get an error: Code 80240016. If I try manually when I get to the posting form, I can not get this page to load, I get another error. Also I can't get updates from Toshiba. I have a great internet connection, update is the only thing that does not work. I recently lost the ability to play music from itunes, but the player still works, so I know this isn't a sound problem. I've had the computer for a little over a year now and it started about a month ago and so far windows customer service isn't being helpful. I tried a number of patches online, but none work, can anyone help me? What could be to keep me update Windows and Toshiba? Also, I tried disabling all firewall that I know I have, and that doesn't always.

0 x 80240016 is to "try to install so that another installation happens or reboot is pending"

Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 follow these steps:

  1. Close the browser Windows Update or Microsoft Update Windows.
  2. Click Start , type command prompt, in the list of results, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command:
    net stop wuauserv
    net start wuauserv
  4. Close the command prompt window.
  5. Try to install updates again.
