I tried the insatll only 1 update and get the same message when I try and install the wholw package. Please help as I am at a loss.

Hi CodySherman,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. When was the last time you were able to install the updates successfully on the computer?

3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

I suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

Method 2

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check out them.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

If the previous step fails, view the update history for more details on the failure of the update and after return with details.

(a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

(b) in the left pane, click view update history.

(c) to view more information about an update, double-click it.

I hope this helps!
