Vista sp1, all updates fail to install including sp2. error code 80070490
I am running a Dell Inspiron 1521 with Vista sp1, all updates fail to install including sp2.
I ran set and recommend solutions without success.
Security updates fail with error 80070490, sp fails with the message installation fails.
Recommendations of the solution please!
Executed updated system preparation,
Vista came installed on the laptop so I don't have a DVD that I can run repair with.
Hi Norman,
Unfortunately, you may not be able to repair Windows by using the features of normal repair since you do not have a disk. You may need to contact your hardware manufacturer to see what options they have to repair Windows.

Hi Ed,

If this does not work, remove Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 using the .NET Framework Cleanup tool http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx. And then reinstall the Microsoft .net Framework 4.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-919f-b21f31ab88b7&displaylang=en and then install the update, you are having problems with.
If this does not work, try resetting update (including a fixit) components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
If this does not work, try a manual download by putting the KB numbers who fail looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx and download them directly and see if it works.
If this does not work, go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and remove content (but not the folder itself) and then restart. See if that helps.
Remove updates failed won't find you any lost speed - although if it could be done, it might be useful save you some space (assuming that all who uploaded was saved even if it has failed). It also will not help install new updates. It's a totally different question that hopefully will solve the above. If a solution works for some but not for all of them, then try the other options to see if they can help as well in terms of everything attaches.
If this does not help, please repost in the forum for the correct Windows version from: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_update?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.

Vista - Windows Update fails and defender gives the error code: 0 x 80080005
Well, I downloaded Veoh Web Player and DivX player (with a driver package) almost the exact same time, so I don't know who caused the problem. (Guessing Veoh done.) I restored system which usually solves it for me and then uninstalled both programs and even if my computer is not nearly as slow as it was when they were both installed, it's always problems. Windows open frequently stops responding. As I said, the system restore only makes it better for a short time while longer I go without eating, the freezier my computer becomes. I also noticed that for about 2-3 days (after which my computer almost completely freezes and I have to startup repair) most minor cosmetic changes.
I use Firefox, so the first change I noticed was that left side of the address bar in a small half circle in a regular square. Tiny. Then the scroll bars on all the programs I've used lost their Aero look and returned to normal, old style Windows. Eventually good menus click lose their new look, then all the start menu, and finally Windows Explorer stops working and all the windows, when not in use, become small tabs at the bottom of the screen. After that the computer hangs almost entirely.
Each time I restart or system restore the first thing I see is a little box that says that a Windows host process has stopped working. Windows Update continually fails and Windows Defender gives the error code 0 x 80080005. What can I do? I looked for answers before coming here to help and what I read it looks like a downloaded driver can interfere with the host process, even if I uninstalled it (supposedly) all. Thank you.

I have 36 updates won't install, get the error Code 8000FFFF + Code 3715
Code 8000FFFF + Code 3715 is in my Windows Update. I have 36 updates which will not be installed. Mr. FixIt did without touching! I did research for months for a solution to the Code 8000FFFF, just to finally get 3 or 4 new files update. They settled, but then the second error, Code 3715 appeared. I have a Compaq PCSR5501P Tower, 3 GB of RAM and 4 GB ReadyBoost (at recommended setting) with Windows 32 bit Vista Home Basic SP2 and ESET Smart Security 5. Also, I have a Seagate 2 TB external drive. It was not connected during this period for months, then Windows Defender found a registry error about this. I removed it to the Defender. I consider myself to be a bit smarter than the average bear, but it beats me. I know it's 9 out of 10 times it simple!
