Vista Pack 2 will not update stays at 0

I have problems with Windows update. WINDOWS VISTA HOME BASIC SERVICE PACK 2.  When I click to download, the download of updates window opens but it stays on 0 and the little green line moves very slowly. Nothing it downloads just rest to 0. I tried these suggestions from the Community Forums http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-update/error-code-80246005/94a9434b-948c-4183-986e-ddf062724ae7?page=2&auth=1

1.

"C:\Windows\System32" and then find the folder 'catroot2' and just right click and go to properties and there you will see that the matter is "write-protected" to everything that you need to do is take this clear! When I went there the read only box was not checked, but it was lit in blue. He said read only (applies only to files in folders), I tried to disable the checkbox, but I still couldn't download updates. When I checked back just filled blue box.

2.

System and Maintenance > administrative tools > Services > Windows Update > restart.

I struggled with that. I got a message saying it could not stop in a timely manner. Then, there was no option to restart so I restarted the computer and then restart update was available so I clicked it.

3.

Cryptographic Services > restart

Click on restart

Still no go

Thank you for reading this.

Well, I have solved my problem. I am a person very not techno, but I wear what I did in case it can help others. I had my windows, the value of the manual update. I switched it to auto update and wham, when I hit the button in the Windows Update window, download started! Not sure if it was to be on automatic, or just the switch from one to the other has made the round. Who knows, computers are the ultimate mystery. I went to control panel > Security Center > and passed to the automatic update.

I have been round in circles on the shooters of microsoft problems and also tried ms 'fix' and a system restore obsolete MS essentials, which is not updated. I scanned my laptop with essentials and malware bytes without any display problem and there is no error codes displayed when I try to update. I'd appreciate any help, thanks...

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    Hi everyone, I need help with my palm tx, it will not update, thanks to WyreNut, I download, but I can get the program to start, the page of the map is empty, I can see it, used on the page info card space, I think that the program is there but will not start , and when I put the card in the laptop, I can see the program

    My lap top is vista, my SD cards are the two 512 MB and the page is white on the two Palms, a TX and a 31, I don't know.

    I thought I would leave no. stone unturned.  Someone had or know this problem please help thanks

    OK, for some time I formatted a card on my TX.  I just performed the task, and he only created the directory of Palm\Launcher... The format command created previously, the other directories that I mentioned.

    Once more - files that came in the zip file must remain on your computer, except for the Palm folder.  Because the formatting of the SD in the TX card automatically creates this file, we must manually copy files and files required for the update work.

    I just removed my TX card and inserted into my laptop.

    I copied the three files in the Palm/launcher folder in update (TXUpdater.prc, TXUpdater_enUS.prc, and WifiProfileCopy_enUS.prc) in the Palm/launcher directory on the SD card.

    Now I will copy the Palm/TXUpdate file in the folder /Palm on the map (with six files inside).

    On the SD card, I see now:

    Palm/Launcher

    Palm/TXUpdate

    Inside, the records are the files needed - 3 in Palm/Launcher and 6 inside Palm/TXUpdate.

    Remove the card from the laptop and insert it into the TX.

    When I open the Launcher screen and choose "TestSD" (the name of the SD card that I use) I see two files - "TXUpdater" and "Wifi profile.

    I'm not going to proceed from here since I have already installed the update on this TX.

    Hope this Helps!
