  • Vista - Error Code: 8DDD0020 (cannot install updates)

    I can't update windows (Vista)

    Windows media Player will attemtpt open same commans, and/or the download either

    Hello shalba1,

    1. don't you make changes to the computer before having problems with Windows update?

    2. what exactly do you mean when you say that Media Player tries to open orders and downloads?

    I suggest that go you through updates and find out what updates fail with error codes.

    a. go to the Windows Update Control Panel window. (Click the Start button, click all programs and then click Windows Update).
    In the left pane, click Find updates. You can review or select available updates before installing them.

    You can check what are the latest updates do not install and what are the exact error codes.

    I also suggest to reset the Windows Update components. You can see the bottom of the article that will give you information on this:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    You can run the Fixit who will automatically reset the Windows Components update.
