Windows could not search for new updates of the fault codes found: Code80070490 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

I ran sfc/scannow, and the result read that some files cannot be repaired. I installed my Vista installation disc but the upgrade is disabled. I think that the upgrade is disabled because the latest version of Vista running on my laptop is at a higher level than the installation disc, so the only option is Vista, back to the factory. My question is, did a complete reinstall the only solution to 'Windows couldn't find the new updates? with the code 80070490 error?

Please notify.
