Update of Windows Vista Home Premium - code 80070490 error:

Computer - Satellite 200
Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
Problem - when I try to update Windows Update (manual and automatic) I get the error code 80070490
I tried - system restore, download and pay for 'RegCure' and following the instructions on the Microsoft forum without success.
The computer was shipped with a recovery disc that has no installation to 'fix '.
If you have a solution that does not involve a complete re - load I would be very grateful
Please make understandable instructions for a non-techie!

Thank you

There is an article on this issue in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B958044&x=10&y=4

So I think that you need to reinstall the computer with the recovery disc.
Boot from the diskette or press F8 at startup, choose "repair your computer".
and follow the instructions in the menu.
Then the HARD drive will be formatted so back up your data.

    If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

    Yes.

    You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

    Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

    Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

    Alternatively, try your local computer store.

  • Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

    Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

    Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
    I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
    Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

    Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

    When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
    If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
    Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
    Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
    I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
    As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: Follow these steps.

    Step 1: If the methods above do not help, we can put the computer in a clean boot state, and then install the update manually.

    To help solve the problems, you can start Windows Vista 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.
