Updates Windows Vista system never works

I tried for awhile know what is the problem with my Windows Vista updates, but I have not found a solution for the moment.
Here is the situation;

In the Windows Update window, he said;
"Last check updates: never.
Updates have been installed: 02-07-2009 at 08:10 (Failed)
etc... »

Well, when I try to click on the link above to ' Check for Updates '... He performs the operation of loading, then appears.

"Windows could not search for new updates"
Error (s) found:
Code 80070490 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

I really wanted a solution to this problem, but have not found anything, and the search for the solution is quite tiring and confusing. Of course, I think because my system is quite outdated it affects the performance of my computer with my antivirus software also.

I have the Windows Service Pack 1 installed. I noticed that there is a Windows Service Pack 2, but I don't know if that does not solve the problem either.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my computer, are there other specific information about what system?

Anyway, if I could get feedback with the solution described in measures specific on how to fix... I would be eternally grateful!

Here's all the info on your error Code Microsoft supplies.
And if you don't have a good DVD of Vista, you can not make their recommendation of repairs to fix the problem.
A Dell, HP, etc. recovery disc won't.

This problem may occur if there is corruption in component maintenance (EC) manifest. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958044

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

    NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

  • Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.

    I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

    See the screenshot [here: http://imagefilehost.googlepages.com/f30Wrongupdate.jpg]

    Any idea?

    Hmm... it's strange?  :|

    The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

    I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

    However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.
