Vista can not download updates?

Whenever I have disable my computer and Vista tries to update before you stop, OR when I go to the windows update area when it stops not and try to get it to update, it is stuck at 0% and does nothing. When I try to do stop updating in the center of update after awhile because it obviously doesn't work, it tells me that I must have the permission of the administrator so he can stop. But my account is the only one on the computer! What should I do so that it can be updated?

If I did not provide enough information, please let me know.

  • Why can not download updates from Microsoft?

    I have a laptop that is running Windows Vista and I was not able to install updates from Microsoft for a long time. As a first step, what he did but one day, after an update it just stopped working. It will always fail, and sometimes I get a message saying that he does not configure so it. I solved this problem temporarily but just manually download the update from the Microsoft site that works but as of lately, I'm getting loads of updates (like 30 at a time) and it's just too many things to be updated manually. Also, I'm running in the updates that were as different versions (like x 64 KB34567 or KB34567 ie43) and I don't know which one I need. I would really like it if my computer would download these updates on their own. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    The update of Windows becomes boring because whenever I get the said I have a ton of important updates for Microsoft, but then I can't download them so he just keeps popping up.

    You receive errors related to updates?

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click view update history.
      http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed
    3. Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
      Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
    4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.
    5. Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

  • Installation fees and can not download updates, 0x8024400A error

    New installation on a laptop Gateway... Service Pack 2 for Windows XP (Media Center Edition)...

    Have not installed anything besids the operating system.    I am able to browse the internet even if the default browser would be planted several times and then finally to allow access...  Try to download updates from Windows using IE and Firefox...  Use of IE, it describes the options for express or custom then less than a minute returns an eror:

    [Error number: 0x8024400A]
    The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem.

    For self-help options:

    In the event log, I see the 8 and 16 event id...  I connect via a wireless connection... also tried to use a wired connection.  Do not use any proxy Server, no proxy settings are in the browser.  Also checked at the command prompt.

    Again, this is a new installation of Windows, and no other software has been added yet, so I can't blame a third party software application.

    Version Internet explore is 8,00.  I was able to download from Firefox, but that's all...

    any suggestions?

    SP2? Which makes life easier. :-)

    Preliminary work:

    Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

    1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

    2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

    3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

    5 install MSE.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

    7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    8. reactivate the automatic updates.
